Australia's housing target is falling behind, but the real story is even more alarming. In this episode, Hotspotting examines why Australia's housing supply crisis is worsening despite ambitious government promises. With approvals declining, construction costs rising and population growth accelerating, the nation is adding people faster than it is delivering homes. We break down the growing gap between approvals, commencements and completions, and explain why the shortage of housing is becoming a structural issue rather than a short-term cycle. Discover how taxes, labour shortages, planning delays and rising building costs are impacting the delivery of new homes, and what this could mean for property prices, rents and affordability across Australia. Whether you're a property investor, home buyer or simply interested in the future of the Australian property market, this episode delivers the data, insights and analysis you need to understand what comes next.

How accurate are property market forecasts when tested against real results? In this episode, Hotspotting revisits the March 2024 National Top 10 Best Buys Report to examine how its recommended Australian property markets have performed over the past two years. The results reveal strong capital growth across key locations, with standout performers delivering exceptional returns and validating the research signals that identified these markets early. We unpack the data, highlight the top performing regions, and explain the market indicators smart property investors should watch when identifying Australia's next growth hotspots. If you want sharper insights into Australian property investment, capital growth opportunities, and proven market selection strategies, this episode delivers valuable analysis grounded in real performance. Listen now to discover what the results reveal about finding Australia's next standout property opportunities.

Most coverage of the Australian property market focuses on headlines, not reality. In this episode, we unpack why mainstream media reporting can significantly distort how buyers, sellers, and investors perceive market conditions. We examine recent housing data from leading sources including Domain, Cotality, and PropTrack, revealing a more nuanced picture of Australia's real estate performance. While media narratives often emphasise short-term weakness, the broader data shows widespread growth across capital city and regional markets, particularly in house and unit price trends over recent quarters. This discussion breaks down how selective data interpretation, short-term thinking, and overemphasis on interest rate movements can lead to misleading conclusions about property cycles. We also explore why long-term, evidence-based analysis consistently outperforms headline-driven commentary when making real estate decisions. Whether you are a property investor, home buyer, or industry professional, this episode will help you separate signal from noise in Australian property market reporting.   For over two decades, Hotspotting has delivered independent, data-driven property research to help Australians make informed real estate decisions based on evidence, not headlines. If you want a clearer understanding of what is really happening in the Australian property market, this episode is essential listening.

What if the strongest property investment opportunities could be identified before the market surge? In this episode, we unpack the standout results from The Pulse and reveal how Hotspotting's market analysis identified 50 Australian locations that went on to deliver exceptional performance over the past two years. With every market recording positive capital growth, average gains of 41%, and top performers climbing as high as 78%, this episode explores the data, trends and market fundamentals driving these remarkable outcomes. We examine the suburbs that delivered the biggest returns, why Queensland and Western Australia dominated, and what these results reveal about finding high-yield, high-growth property investment opportunities in Australia. If you're looking for expert property market insights, positive cash flow strategies and data-driven analysis to sharpen your investment decisions, this is an episode worth hearing.

With vacancy rates at record lows and rents consuming more household income than ever… is Australia's rental crisis getting worse? In this episode of The Property Playbook, host Tim Graham is joined by Terry Ryder, Founder of Hotspotting, to unpack the real drivers behind Australia's housing shortage — and why the situation continues to deteriorate. With national vacancy rates sitting around 1%, well below the ~3% level considered a balanced market, and more than 3,400 people arriving in Australia every day, the pressure on rental supply is intensifying — and there are no quick fixes in sight. In This Episode, You'll Learn: • Why Australia's rental crisis is fundamentally a supply and demand issue • How vacancy rates have remained critically low for over two decades • Why rents have risen from ~25% to over 33% of household income • The role of government policy — and why it hasn't solved the problem • Why changing tenant laws doesn't fix the core issue of supply • The impact of taxes, fees and red tape on new housing development • Why construction costs are approaching $1 million per home in major cities • How regulation and compliance are driving up costs and delaying supply • The risks of reducing investor incentives like negative gearing • Why mum-and-dad investors supply over 90% of rental housing • The reality that many landlords are operating at a loss despite rising rents • Why rental caps and policy interventions could make the crisis worse Key Takeaway The rental crisis isn't new — and it isn't improving. As Terry explains, the core issue is simple: Australia doesn't have enough homes — and we're not building them fast enough. Until supply increases meaningfully, vacancy rates will remain tight and rents will continue to rise. And while policy debates continue, the real risk is that well-intentioned changes may actually make the situation worse.

In this special founder interview, Terry Ryder shares the story behind Hotspotting — from launching the business in a garage in Maleny in 2006 to becoming one of Australia's most respected independent real estate research platforms. What sparked the idea? Why did Terry believe there needed to be a better way to identify property hotspots? And what has been the core principle behind Hotspotting's success for two decades? Over the past 20 years, Hotspotting has built its reputation on something simple but powerful: We don't just report what has happened — we identify what's likely to happen next. In this conversation, Terry reflects on: The origin of Hotspotting  The philosophy behind forward-looking indicators Being told the business wouldn't work  The turning point that proved it would The importance of independence and integrity  And why the next chapter is even more exciting than the first While we're celebrating 20 years in business, this isn't a look backward.  As Terry says at the end of this interview: "We're only just getting started." If you've followed Hotspotting over the years — thank you. If you're new here — welcome to the next chapter.

Australia's property markets are set for growth in 2026 – but not in the way most experts think. In this episode, we dive into the Growth Leaders 2026 report from Hotspotting and Finance Better to uncover which cities and regions are poised for the biggest price increases. From capital cities to regional hotspots, even the markets thought to be "weaker" are showing strong signs of upward movement. We explore six key metrics that reveal the real drivers behind property value growth – beyond interest rates and media speculation. Tune in to discover where smart buyers and investors should be looking this year and why the data tells a very different story to the headlines.

If you’re feeling torn between “buy anything, it’s a housing crisis” and “don’t touch property, it’s all a bubble”, this episode is for you. In this solo flight, Bushy Martin ditches crystal balls and headlines and lays out a clear, conservative property flight plan for 2026. Not predictions. Not hotspots. Just grounded thinking to help you make calm, confident decisions in a noisy, FOMO-fuelled market. Because 2026 isn’t shaping up as a perfect storm, or a clean boom. It’s more like a patchwork quilt. Some markets will sizzle. Some will simmer. Others will stagnate. And the difference won’t come down to luck - it’ll come down to planning, positioning, and behaviour. Bushy unpacks what the big data houses and forecasters are saying — SQM, Domain, the banks, PK Gupta, Hotspotting, Cotality and more — then translates it into plain-English insights you can actually use, without becoming someone else’s exit strategy in an overcooked “Instagram suburb”. You’ll hear why Australia’s long-talked-about housing shortage still looks like a blocked drain, with construction, planning and infrastructure bottlenecks meaning we’re not building enough homes in the right places. That ongoing scarcity continues to support prices, even as affordability bites. Bushy also explains why government demand schemes often make the affordable end of the market less affordable, pushing more buyers into the same narrow price bands, turning entry-level markets into musical chairs while doing little to fix supply. And while most forecasts point upward into 2026, Bushy is clear: You shouldn’t build your life on a forecast. Instead, this episode gives you a framework to stress-test opportunities as if: Interest rates don’t fall Lending tightens further Your income is less secure than you’d like If a deal still stacks up under those assumptions, it’s probably worth a closer look. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why 2026 looks more like a patchwork quilt than a national boom or bust How underbuilding, affordability pressure and policy settings are shaping the year ahead Why forecasts are best-case scenarios, not personal investment plans The difference between genuine opportunity and Pied Piper hotspots driven by late-stage FOMO The types of markets Bushy sees as long-term “keepers”, and the “Not Spots” smart investors should treat with caution How to use the 3 I’s (Infrastructure, Industry, Incomes) and 3 P’s (People, Property, Position) as X-ray goggles for any location Why behaviour, not the market, is the biggest risk for investors in 2026 How small, smart, consistent steps beat chasing the next shiny thing A simple 2026 investor playbook built around Freedom Numbers, BEAR Facts, buffers and boundaries This isn’t a prediction show. It’s a planning session. If you’re ready to move from FOMO to a clear flight plan, one your future self will thank you for, settle in and let’s get invested.

In this episode of Geared for Growth, Mike Mortlock is joined by Terry Ryder, Founder of Hotspotting.com.au and one of Australia's longest-serving property researchers. With more than four decades analysing markets, Terry brings unmatched depth on what actually drives property growth,  far beyond the usual headlines and hype. 

Australian property investors are being misled by headlines - here’s why location, not media noise, will determine who wins in 2025. In this episode of Get Invested, Bushy Martin sits down with long-time favourite and one of Australia’s most respected property research analysts, Terry Ryder, founder of Hotspotting and author of Why Property Values Rise. Together they cut through the noise to reveal what really drives sustainable property growth - and why most investors never build the portfolio they dream of. Terry unpacks why 70–80% of value growth comes down to local area selection, not the property itself, and why treating Australia as “one market” is lazy and dangerous. He explains how $900B+ of infrastructure is reshaping jobs, incomes and housing demand across thousands of micro-markets - and why forward-looking indicators matter far more than backward-looking stats. From the rise of apartments and overlooked suburbs, to the spectacular failure of doom-and-gloom forecasts, Bushy and Terry give investors a practical GPS for choosing outperforming locations using Terry’s EMPIRICAL formula alongside Bushy’s 3I’s & 3P’s. If you’re serious about building a lifestyle-funding portfolio - not just a random collection of properties - this conversation is essential listening.

Why do property price guides keep failing buyers — and what can be done to fix them? In this episode, Tim Graham sits down with Jacob Caine, Interim CEO of the Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV), to unpack one of the most controversial topics in Australian real estate: underquoting. Despite reforms in 2017, public frustration and media scrutiny remain. Jacob explains why, what's really driving consumer distrust, and how the REIV's new Strategic Working Group is developing a Blueprint for Price Guides to improve transparency, protect vendors' rights, and restore confidence in the market. Together, Tim and Jacob explore: Why underquoting persists — and how widespread it really is What the 2017 legislation got right … and where it falls short How data transparency can reduce confusion for buyers and agents alike  The role of the REIV's Working Group and its proposed reforms The case for mandatory disclosure of sales results and stronger comparables  How Victoria's model compares with other states like Queensland Jacob shares practical insights from the frontline — including why only a fraction of a percent of auctions end in underquoting fines, and how new data requirements and clearer rules could reshape the way Australians buy and sell property.

Selling your home can be one of the most emotional and financially critical decisions of your life. But what if there was a way to take the stress out of it and ensure you get the best result possible? In this episode, Tim Graham sits down with Tom Ryan, founder of Tom Ryan Vendor Advocacy. With over 35 years in real estate, Tom specialises in helping vendors choose the right agent, manage the selling process, and achieve better outcomes with less stress.

From humble beginnings in the slums of Manila to becoming a hedge fund trader and ultimately building one of Australia's standout mortgage broking businesses, Lucky's story is one of grit, resilience, and purpose. Lucky opens up about: His journey from hardship to finance – including being homeless as a teen, landing a role at a major bank, and discovering his passion for helping families make smarter financial choices. Building Finance Better – how he carved out a reputation in a competitive industry by keeping advice simple, relatable, and focused on people, not just numbers.  Lessons in business – the importance of planning for success, hiring to fill gaps, and knowing when to step back and bring in leadership to take things to the next level. Innovation in finance – how Finance Better is investing in AI and customer experience, creating platforms that help people better manage their loans and portfolios 24/7. Market insights – his candid take on the 5% deposit scheme, why many first-home buyers may turn into rentvestors, and why he believes Australia is heading into a “super boom” driven by migration, falling rates, and housing undersupply. This conversation goes beyond policies and products, uncovering the human story behind Lucky's passion for finance and his bold predictions for the property market.

In this episode, Terry Ryder, Founder of Hotspotting, sits down with Adam Horth — a seasoned real estate professional, trainer, and Operations Director at Smartre Group. Adam's journey began at just 19 years old, starting out as a salesperson and eventually building his own highly successful agency in Ipswich, QLD. Within six years, his office was the number one agency in the area, supported by a team of high-performing agents. Today, Adam combines his passion for real estate with training and leadership, helping agency principals and salespeople across Australia and New Zealand through Smartre Training. Together, Terry and Adam explore: Adam's first property purchase — the mistakes, the lessons, and why “failing forward” shaped his approach to investing. Investment philosophies — from the importance of education to understanding compounding and why there isn't one single “right” strategy. The value of good advice — why many investors shy away from paying for mentoring or research, and how this often limits success. Sales and agency insights — what separates a great real estate agent from the rest, and how vendors and buyers can use this to their advantage. Residential vs commercial property — Adam's experience with both, and why portfolio diversity is key for long-term resilience. Personal growth and leadership — the role of reading, self-education, and Adam's principle of “educate yourself before you entertain yourself”. This conversation blends candid personal stories, practical advice, and a wealth of real-world experience.

After all these years in property, I'm still surprised at how some investors decide which property to buy, however it doesn't really surprise me why so many don't get past their first or second property. You see… many buy for emotional reasons, and while others think they're investing in property, for some, they're really speculating.  In today's show episode, I discuss common mistakes in property investment with Brett Warren, focusing on the dangers of hot-spotting.   We emphasise the importance of long-term strategies, economic fundamentals, and the need for a solid investment plan. Our conversation highlights the risks of following trends and the necessity of understanding market dynamics to build a sustainable property portfolio.   Takeaways  Investing in hotspots is often a form of speculation. Long-term strategies are essential for successful property investment. Economic fundamentals drive property value growth. Owner-occupiers play a crucial role in the property market. Avoid following the crowd; focus on informed decisions. A solid investment plan is necessary for long-term success. Understanding market dynamics is key to navigating risks. Investing should be based on facts, not opinions. The media often overlooks critical insights about property investing.   Chapters  00:00 Understanding Property Investment vs. Speculation 04:26 The Risks of Hotspotting in Real Estate 06:54 Long-Term Strategies for Successful Investing 09:42 The Importance of Economic Fundamentals 12:23 Demographics and Their Impact on Property Markets 15:26 Navigating the Property Investment Landscape 18:02 Avoiding Common Pitfalls in Property Investment 20:37 Creating a Sustainable Investment Plan 23:31 The Role of Owner-Occupiers in Market Stability 26:13 Looking Ahead: Media Influence on Property Decisions 26:19 Navigating the Changing Property Market 28:05 Investment Strategies for Long-Term Growth 28:29 Understanding the Spotlight Effect 31:04 Consequences of the Spotlight Effect   Links and Resources: Michael Yardney Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us Brett Warren - National Director of Property at Metropole Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at www.PodcastBonus.com.au Also, please subscribe to my other podcast Demographics Decoded with Simon Kuestenmacher – just look for  Demographics Decoded wherever you are listening to this podcast and subscribe so each week we can unveil the trends shaping your future.  

With over 15,000 suburbs across Australia, how do you know where to invest next—and which markets are set to outperform? In this episode of The Property Playbook, host Tim Graham sits down with Australia's leading property analyst, Terry Ryder, to reveal the latest insights from Hotspotting's National Top 10 Best Buys report. Unlike media-driven “hotspots,” these locations have been handpicked for their long-term growth potential, strong local economies, and critical infrastructure investment.

With housing affordability now a key battleground in the federal election, Tim Graham, Managing Director of Hotspotting, joins Ahron Young on TickerNews to unpack what the major parties are promising—and whether those policies will make any real difference. In this episode, Tim explains why most policies on offer are short-term, demand-side sugar hits that fail to address the root of Australia's housing crisis: supply.

Perth's Property Market at its Peak: Tim Graham discusses the shift in Perth's property market as it reaches its peak. He shares insights from Hotspotting's Price Predictor Index, explaining how rising sales activity often leads to price growth, and how Perth's market is now experiencing a slowdown due to decreasing sales. Why Perth Was Doing Well: The strength of Perth's recent growth can be attributed to a proactive state government, affordability, and a resurgence after many years of stagnant prices. Tim highlights how the state's openness to investors has played a key role in this boom. The Emergence of New Market Leaders: With Perth cooling down, other markets are emerging as leaders. Tim explains that Melbourne, despite economic challenges, is showing positive rankings in many suburbs. With a correction in its market and its relative affordability compared to Sydney, Melbourne is attracting new investment. The Impact of Affordability on Investment: Tim shares his thoughts on why people are moving to more affordable areas, not just due to COVID, but as part of a broader trend of seeking better lifestyle options. The ongoing affordability factor in Melbourne and other markets is a key driver of growth.  Infrastructure Projects and Market Impact: Tim discusses how infrastructure developments, like the Westgate Tunnel project in Melbourne, are expected to influence property prices, particularly in the city's west. However, he questions whether these infrastructure projects will be a game changer for the market. Interest Rates and  Housing Affordability: The conversation touches on the possible future of interest rates in Australia. Tim explains that the biggest challenge in real estate isn't interest rates but the lack of housing, which continues to drive prices up despite rate changes. overnment Policy and the Housing Shortage: The interview wraps up with a discussion about the Victorian government's efforts to alleviate housing affordability, including stamp duty discounts. Tim points out the unintended consequences of these policies, suggesting that the focus should be on helping developers to start new projects.

For many property investors stand-alone homes will always win: Similarly, there is an investor bias towards the metropolitan centres of Sydney and Melbourne.But Hotspotting expert, Terry Ryder, sees the market differently: He offers a fresh view on the prospects for investors in the year ahead and may challenge some cherished assumptions. Terry Ryder, director of the Hotspotting group, joins wealth editor James Kirby in this episode.

What is hotspotting, really? In this episode, we sit down with Terry Ryder, the founder of Hotspotting, to explore what the term means and what it should mean for property investors. Terry has spent over four decades researching and writing about Australian residential property, and he’s here to share why chasing short-term predictions is not the way to go. Terry walks us through his approach to identifying true hotspots—places with economic diversity, infrastructure investment, and long-term growth potential. He’s upfront about how the name “hotspotting” can sometimes create misconceptions, with people thinking it’s about quick, short-term wins. As Terry explains, that’s the opposite of his philosophy. For him, it’s all about looking ahead and finding what he calls “second wind markets”—those overlooked locations that are set to thrive over time. We also dive into the challenges of going against the herd mentality. Terry believes most investors make mistakes by following the crowd or reacting to media noise instead of having a solid, long-term strategy. He even shares personal stories about lessons learned from his own investments, including the times he wishes he hadn’t sold too soon. This conversation is packed with Terry’s trademark honesty, practical insights, and a refreshing take on property investing. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to fine-tune your strategy, this episode is a must-listen.

Davids Weg in die Industrie begann mit Sauerbraten und führt zur Entwicklung von Industria – Einem beeindruckenden Story-Shooter im Stil von Half-Life. Schon der erste Teil wurde von Headup vertrieben und so auch der Zweite, der gerade in Arbeit ist. Klingt einfach, ist aber nicht so. Wir sprechen über den LANGEN und beschwerlichen Weg, den das Spiel genommen hat und wie beeindruckend es ist, dass das kleine Team so ein Monster-Projekt gestemmt hat. Außerdem erzählt David, wie sie es geschafft haben, die Flinte über die mehr als 6 Jahre Entwicklungszeit nicht ins Korn zu werfen. Und wir reden über Engines, Hotspotting und Bienen.

Got a question for the trio? https://forms.zohopublic.com/propertyplanningaustralia/form/GotaquestionforthePropertyTrio/formperma/zYCQAxzE_24CVlDafP1ozyzwtmB-8m1iCNtCTgDvHXMCate kicks off the Trio's predictions for 2024 and reminds Mike that he will be accountable in a year's time.Dave picks value growth of 2-7% nationally in 2024, with the market being weighed down by Melbourne and Sydney, with a comment that he feels we'll see a similar year to 2022. Cate feels that a strong supply of listings in early 2024 will dim the growth potential for the busy cities in the early months. The supply and demand ratio may lead to some great buying conditions during this period.Cate backs Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane for outperformance growth for the year. Mike leans on Chris Gray's comment, "It will either go up, go down, or stay the same." Yep, thanks for that Mike. Mike does share some economist's updates for our listeners though and challenges Dave with a 7-9% growth estimate. Mike suggests that 2024 could be a year of two halves. Tune in to find out why.Will 'chicken and egg' impact our markets again? And could this lead to a stock undersupply? The top three performers.... Who will get it right? And who will be proven wrong? The Trio place their bets! Cate challenges Dave and Mike with their insights and predictions into investor numbers and government intervention. From vacancy taxes, rent freezes, superannuation, and first home buyer initiatives, they have some fun debating the possibilities. Cate also touches on the tax opportunities that could arise as our baby-boomer generation age. Mike's insights into developer activity and construction is intriguing. It's a must-listen! Interest rates and inflation.... where do Cate, Mike and Dave think they will land in 2024? Their responses aren't aligned either. The Trio agree that rental vacancy rates aren't likely to improve for renters and Cate gives Victoria a special mention for double digit rental growth for the year.The Trio also contemplate listing numbers for the new year and the impact that this could have on the markets. And lastly, Dave, Cate and Mike toy with unlikely and the unpopular as they discuss the biggest potential threats to the market. ....And our gold nuggets! While they've enjoyed putting together this episode, they remind listeners that predictions can be fickle. "Hotspotting is never as important as the planning", says Mike.Show notes: https://www.propertytrio.com.au/2024/01/15/2024-predictions-and-insights-for-the-year/
