What to Expect in the Property Market
In this Property Now episode, we unpack what 2026 could look like for property in Australia.
One thing is clear. Housing supply remains a major issue. Demand continues to outpace new developments, making it harder for buyers to enter the market.
Interest Rates and Buyer Confidence
A Wait and See Market
Interest rates are expected to remain uncertain:
- Rates may stay steady in the short term
- Inflation pressures still exist
- Global events are influencing decisions
For buyers, this means planning is more important than predicting.
Why Supply Still Matters Most
The biggest challenge is not interest rates. It is supply.
- New housing is not keeping up
- Rental pressure remains high
- More people are competing for fewer homes
This creates long-term pressure on prices.
New Ways Buyers Are Entering Property
Moving From Renting to Owning
A key trend is renters becoming owners.
Instead of waiting years:
- Buyers are exploring alternative pathways
- Off the plan property is gaining attention
- Flexible buying options are increasing
This is changing how people approach buying their first home.
Off the Plan Property in 2026
Off the plan property allows buyers to:
- Secure property earlier
- Pay over time during construction
- Reduce upfront financial pressure
This can help buyers move forward despite market uncertainty.
Coposit and a New Path Into Property
Coposit helps buyers secure property with a smaller upfront amount. Instead of needing a full deposit, buyers can start with a lower entry point and continue payments over time.
This supports more Australians moving from renting into ownership.
Property Strategy in a Changing Market
In a market shaped by supply and global uncertainty, buyers need to focus on long-term strategy, not short-term movements.
