With property values rising for 15 months in a row and talk of interest rate cuts on the horizon, is the Australian property market gearing up for a new boom in property prices this year?

Well, there are clues in the news as to what’s ahead, which I’m going to discuss in this month’s Big Picture podcast with leading financial commentator Pete Wargent.

As always, we will be discussing a raft of macro and micro economic factors that should give you some clues as to what’s ahead for our housing markets. And we’re going to discuss why now may be a great countercyclical opportunity to get into the Melbourne property market.

You’d have to be living under a rock not to know that apartments have underperformed houses in the last decade or so, so today I explore the reasons behind this trend, its implications for investors, and what future trends we might anticipate with independent financial advisor, Stuart Wemyss.

We also discuss what criteria you should use to decide if you sell an underperforming apartment.

We explore the complex puzzles facing Melbourne's apartment sector and discuss strategic responses to the challenges as well as the reasons behind the market's underperformance and consider whether investors should maintain their positions or reallocate their capital.

This will be an important episode for anyone interested in understanding the broader dynamics of the property market and making informed investment decisions.
