Western Australia's suburbs are heating up, with investors who time it right and plan well standing to reap big rewards. Smart Property Investment's Phil Tarrant and Pure Property Investment's Paul Glossop return with a fresh edition of the FAST 50 report, revealing the top suburbs for property investment in 2026. Western Australia is attracting investors with its relative affordability, with WA's Fast 50 suburbs sitting around $644,000 (excluding top-tier areas), offering options across different budgets. Suburbs like Armadale, Mandurah, and Forestville have been attracting investors with substantial price increases, while regional spots like Geraldton deliver strong rental yields but come with higher lending risk due to industry reliance. While promising, Phil and Paul emphasise that Western Australia isn't a one-size-fits-all market and timing remains key, with investors urged to align purchases with their strategy with the help of the FAST 50 report – now available – to guide smarter, more informed decisions.

Queensland's regional suburbs are booming, offering exciting opportunities for strategic long-term investors. Smart Property Investment's Phil Tarrant and Pure Property Investment's Paul Glossop return with a fresh edition of the FAST 50 report, revealing the top suburbs for property investment in 2026. Queensland features prominently in the 2026 FAST 50 report, with 15 of the top suburbs for capital growth located in the state, including nine in regional areas, reflecting a decline in urban appeal. Despite Queensland's strong presence in the list, Paul does not personally recommend any Queensland suburbs this year, citing caution around regional volatility. Suburbs like Park Avenue and Koongal near Rockhampton have posted an impressive 12-month growth of 29.1 per cent and 34 per cent, respectively. However, regional areas carry higher risks due to smaller populations and economic bases, making a long-term strategy essential. Paul and Phil emphasise the importance of long-term fundamentals over short-term trends when evaluating these locations. Download your FREE copy of the FAST 50 2026 report here.

Smart Property Investment's Phil Tarrant and Pure Property Investment's Paul Glossop return with a fresh edition of the FAST 50 report, revealing the top suburbs for property investment in 2026. Victoria is making a strong comeback in the property market, with 13 suburbs included in the 2026 FAST 50 report, up from just one last year. While recent performance in Victoria has been sluggish, signs of momentum are emerging, with Melbourne recording four straight months of capital growth.  Suburbs in Ballarat and Geelong, like Wendouree, Corio, and Alfredton, are showing promise due to affordability and proximity to Melbourne.  Despite low cash flow returns and median rents averaging under $500, the long-term fundamentals, including population growth and migration, support a positive outlook. Paul acknowledges the risk of entering early but stresses that the long-term upside could be significant. He also notes the unusual trend of Melbourne prices lagging behind Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide – a signal of future correction.  Download your FREE copy of the FAST 50 2026 report here.

In this episode of The Pure Property Podcast, co-hosts Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop discuss the post-election results and how the pledge housing policies are criticised for ignoring the core crisis of chronic housing undersupply. The duo discuss how critics have argued that the pledge proposals are short-term fixes that fail to resolve the core issue of housing undersupply, with measures such as stamp duty cuts and first-time buyer grants offering limited impact without addressing how to build homes more efficiently and affordably. The co-hosts then analyse the current property market using CoreLogic's latest data, which showed that the market is broadly recovering, with growth recorded in every capital city in April. The FAST 50 report, set to launch soon, is expected to highlight top investment areas with strong growth potential through 2026. However, challenges remain, such as record-low new listings, underscoring persistent supply constraints. Investor confidence is also being tested by potential new taxes on unrealised super fund gains. While the overall market shows resilience, growth is slowing in leading cities like Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide.
