Australia's population grew by 1.8 per cent in the 12 months to September 2024, adding 484,000 people to the national headcount, according to the latest figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).  That puts our population at 27.3 million, with overseas migration once again leading the charge—albeit at a slower pace than earlier quarters. While the post-pandemic migration surge has moderated, we're still seeing 618,000 arrivals versus 238,000 departures, giving us a net overseas migration figure of 380,000.  This continues a tapering trend, but still marks a major contributor to the housing pressure being felt across the country. Western Australia led the states in population growth, rising 2.5 per cent. Victoria followed at 2.1 per cent and Queensland at 2.0 per cent. In contrast, Tasmania's population barely grew, increasing just 0.3 per cent over the same period. At the state level, New South Wales added 120,800 residents to reach 8.5 million, while Victoria added 146,700 to reach just over 7 million. Queensland's population climbed to 5.6 million, with 111,900 new residents over the year.  These increases represent real housing demand across all tenures: ownership, rental, and emergency accommodation. But while net overseas migration is slowing, a separate but related shift is gaining traction again: regional migration.  The Regional Australia Institute's (RAI) latest Regional Movers Index revealed that internal migration to regional areas, while slowing compared to the COVID boom, remains a long-term structural trend. The RMI shows a fourfold increase in migration from capital cities to places like Bendigo and Bunbury.  Sydneysiders still account for the bulk of outflows (59 per cent), although that share is falling. Melburnians, on the other hand, are rising—now making up 40 per cent of net capital outflows. Greater Geelong and Bendigo are the clear winners in Victoria. Bendigo, in particular, is surging off the charts, with a 63 per cent quarterly growth in migration and a fourfold increase year-on-year.  It's now second only to Bunbury in WA as the fastest-growing regional centre. And what happens when people move? House prices follow. Bunbury's median house price jumped 28 per cent in 2024—the highest growth of any WA regional centre. Geelong's rise in popularity is also pressuring housing stock and values. What this all signals is that the city-to-regional migration story isn't going away—it's simply evolving. And it's not just young professionals making the shift. According to new research from the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute, older, wealthier Australians are leading the regional migration trend, motivated by lifestyle factors and affordability.  This shift has profound implications—not just for property values but for rental stress in areas traditionally considered affordable. Professor Nicole Gurran from the University of Sydney notes that regional migration creates a “ripple effect”—pushing up rents and home prices not only in high-growth towns but also in outlying areas as low-income earners are displaced. “Increased pressure on housing costs in the regions creates knock-on effects for affordability in neighbouring communities,” Gurran said. “It's especially critical that we ramp up investment in social and emergency housing to offset these shifts.” So what's the bottom line? Australia's housing supply continues to lag population growth. Migration—both international and domestic—remains a powerful driver of housing demand. And while big-city markets get the media spotlight, regional areas are where the most intense growth and pressure are now playing out. Investors, policymakers, and developers should be taking note: this isn't a COVID blip—it's a decade-long demographic realignment. Ignore it at your peril.  

In 1906, when a young bookie tried to cheat his customers, he died as the very public victim of a bloodthirsty mob of Melburnians.

Why doesn't almond milk ever taste like real almonds? That question sent Marialuisa Castrignano on a journey to create Al Naturale, a nut milk company dedicated to making fresh, high-quality almond milk right here in Melbourne. Frustrated by store-bought options that lacked real almond flavour, she set out to craft a pure, additive-free alternative—one where you could actually taste the richness of the almonds. Each nut milk is made with the highest quality of activated nuts. Their bottles include either 20% or 8% almonds, 12% walnut, or 12% hazelnut, filtered water, date and a pinch of salt which makes Al Naturale the best authentic plant-based milk in Australia. A year ago, Marialuisa opened a cafe in St Kilda so that Melburnians could enjoy Al Naturale as part of their daily coffee ritual. Tucked away from the bustle of Fitzroy Street, this café is a serene retreat, bathed in soft green tones and filled with lush greenery. As well as the nut milks, they serve Italian-style breakfast and lunch dishes.

For over 30 years, Phillippa Grogan has been a beloved name in Melbourne's food scene. Founder of Phillippa's Bakery, she draws inspiration from her New Zealand childhood and nine formative years with Sally Clarke at her restaurant and foodstore in London. Phillippa is unyielding in her use of top-quality ingredients, traditional recipes and flavour. Phillippa is absolutely all about flavour. Because of that, her creations have been a staple for generations of Melburnians. Walking into her Armadale shop feels like walking into a farmhouse kitchen with its beautiful wooden sideboards and display cabinets full of delicious quiches and breads and the hugely popular cardamom buns. I was delighted to have the chance to sit with Phillippa and hear her story and I will definitely be back very soon for another cardamom bun.

Charles Brice began his journey into aviation by starting flight classes at the age of 15 and went solo at 16.

So, back in 1912, when the Titanic hit that infamous iceberg, things got chaotic real quick. The ship scraped against the ice, and that friction caused some serious damage. Now, here's the kicker: when metal rubs against metal like that, it creates this distinct metallic smell. So, all those passengers probably caught a whiff of it as the ship's hull got torn up. It's like when you accidentally scratch your car against a pole – that smell tells you something ain't right. Sadly, for the Titanic, it was a whole lot worse than a scratch. #brightside Credit: Berlandiera lyrata: Melburnian, CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/..., https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...

Got a question for the trio? https://forms.zohopublic.com/propertyplanningaustralia/form/GotaquestionforthePropertyTrio/formperma/zYCQAxzE_24CVlDafP1ozyzwtmB-8m1iCNtCTgDvHXMThe February 2024 data is out, and the Trio circle the headline; the ridiculously tight vacancy rates nationally. Mike compares houses and unit performance and ponders the drivers for unit purchasers. Dave delves into Perth's outperformance and notes the predictions he and Pete made eighteen months' prior.Is buyer confidence up? Cate sheds light on her own experience at the coalface. But how does data lag impact the figures, and will Cate's prediction match the March data? Only time will tell... What is happening with the regions? For the quarter, combined regions have outperformed the combined cities, but why? The Trio unpack this.Mike dares to broach the question... "Where is Melbourne at?" The Novocastrian dares to challenge the proud Melburnians with this question, but they rise to the challenge and shed light on what is going on in their home city with investors.  And have the regions suffered to the detriment of Melbourne's recovery? Not at all, but Cate explains the dynamics post-COVID. Cate also shares the value-proposition of houses in nearby regions versus apartments in Melbourne's inner-east. Vacancy rates are so tough on tenants right now and the Trio note that vacancies have tightened even further. From changed planning laws to talk of investor incentives, the jungle drums are beating. But sadly the Trio concur that conditions will continue to deteriorate until governments make a different kind of change. Listing activity is higher, yet sales volumes reflect that buyer demand is meeting supply and this coming weekend is set to be a stand-out weekend for auction numbers. But what will post Easter, and early winter look like?"We only need to talk about rate decreases and people go crazy" Rental values have re-accelerated in 2024. Feb recorded the highest rental reading for the last eleven months.Will rent growth outpace capital growth? The Trio weigh in... and they don't all agree.  The three year bonds curve shows that the money markets are predicting three rate reductions as an average cash rate. And... time for our gold nuggets... Cate Bakos's gold nugget: For any prospective tenants out there, you have to be prepared to differentiate yourself in this tight vacancy rate environment.Dave Johnston's gold nugget: This month suggests that so many data points are pointing towards a property price rebound this year, so if you are considering buying property, it's time to get your ducks in a row. Narrow in on your strategy, arrange your pre-approval and be clear on the plan. Shownotes: https://www.propertytrio.com.au/2024/03/18/ep-249-february-market-update/
