Скачать или смотреть Wakelin Property Report: Jarrod drills into the six questions shaping 2026 investment decisions

The first instalment of the 2026 Wakelin Melbourne Property Report showed where we are: investor activity is back, interstate capital has moved first, and a February rate rise has put that renewed confidence on notice.​



Part two is about how to think from here.



In this episode, Jarrod steps away from the month‑to‑month noise and works through six tensions that will shape Melbourne’s housing investment market in 2026:




• Confidence vs memory of the last rate cycle – what it takes for buyers to believe a recovery is real


• Headline stability vs rule‑change risk – how much uncertainty around future settings investors are willing to live with to access value


• Renting longer vs buying earlier – how the rent‑versus‑buy equation is shifting at today’s price and rate levels


• Houses vs older low‑rise apartments – where the value actually sits when land does the heavy lifting


• What the Metro Tunnel, West Gate Tunnel and activity centres quietly change over the next few years.


• Portals and print vs AI and socials – how discovery is changing who sees opportunities first.
