Book a free, no-obligation chat with my team at Alcove: https://meetings.hubspot.com/hello-at... __ Over the last three months, Australian property values fell 3.7%, and it’s not just Sydney and Melbourne. Brisbane and Perth fell 4.7% each in a single quarter. So if you’re about to buy your first home, upgrade, or add an investment property, you need to know where the market is heading. In this video, I’m going to take you through Cotality's October Housing Report chart by chart: What I actually look at as a broker What I think the media overblows Which markets I’d be nervous about right now, and which ones I think are quietly turning into an opportunity.

I run Alcove, a strategic mortgage advice business I started with Ben Sum. My team and I settle hundreds of loans a year, and I was ranked the #1 Elite Broker in Australia by The Adviser in 2024 and #3 nationally out of 20,000+ brokers. I trained as a financial planner first, so when I sit down with someone, I'm thinking about where they want to be in 10 or 20 years, not just which loan has the best rate right now. That's what Alcove was built around. We wanted to bring a higher standard of advice to mortgage broking, so we deliberately hired a Strategy Team of former financial advisers, private bankers, consultants, and chartered accountants. When you work with us, you're getting a personalised lending strategy, not a rate comparison. We're anti-hype, we don't do get-rich-quick, and we're in your corner. I co-host two podcasts: The Elephant in the Room with Buyer's Agent Veronica Morgan and The Australian Property Podcast. Between those shows, guest appearances, and 1,800+ LinkedIn posts, I've been talking publicly about Australian property for over a decade. This channel is devoted to helping Australians make wiser, more successful property decisions. I share what I'm actually seeing on the ground.
