• EP. 1605 300K To Build Now $700K!
    Feb 17 2026

    Build costs are skyrocketing. Tight labour market. Materials up. Developers squeezed from every angle.

    But here’s the silver lining 👇

    If you can’t replicate a property at today’s construction prices, that sets a floor under property values.

    We’re not talking land. Not profit.
    Just build costs — around $700k+ before land.

    To replace a 1–3 bedroom apartment today? You’re looking at $1.2m–$1.3m.

    If you already own property… you’re holding a serious asset.

    Property isn’t just something you want.
    It’s something you need.

  • EP. 1604 - CO AGENTS! IS IT DOUBLE THE TROUBLE?
    Feb 16 2026

    One agent… or two? 🤔

    Co-agency can work — but only when there’s:
    ✔️ Total transparency
    ✔️ Clear control of marketing
    ✔️ Strong communication
    ✔️ Trust

    Without that? It can get messy. Mixed messages. Confused buyers. Blurred accountability.

    At the end of the day, the real question is:

    If you were selling your property…
    Would you want two agents?
    Or one exceptional agent who fully backs themselves?

    It’s always about acting in the vendor’s best interest.

  • NOVAK NEWS - THE RENTAL CRISIS NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT
    Feb 16 2026

    Interest rates. Rising costs. Government changes. It’s been tough.

    But here’s the truth 👇

    🏡 Long term? Property still wins for many.
    📈 Stocks may outperform at times — but nothing replaces having a place to call home.
    💡 If you’re renting and want to buy: start small. Don’t be picky. Grow from 1 bed ➡️ 2 bed ➡️ 3 bed.

    Everything’s gone up — groceries, bills, life in general. Housing is the big one.

    If you need guidance navigating it all, we’re here to help.

  • EP. 1602 SHOULD I BUY COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OFF THE PLAN - DOES IT MATTER?
    Feb 15 2026

    Buying commercial off the plan? ⚠️

    Not all plans are equal.

    ✔️ Marketing plans ≠ stamped council-approved plans
    ✔️ Ceiling heights can vary lot to lot
    ✔️ Layouts & positioning can change
    ✔️ Fire safety & compliance updates can impact design

    The key? Do your due diligence.
    Review the approved construction plans — not just the brochure.

    Yes, buy off the plan… but be proactive. It can significantly increase value and tenant appeal.
