Australia’s housing market in 2026 continues to face a challenging environment, driven by a mismatch between supply and demand, rising interest rates, and broader economic uncertainty. While conditions differ across regions, the overall trend shows a market that remains resilient despite increasing pressure. At the core of the current climate is a persistent shortage of housing. Strong population growth, particularly from migration, continues to push demand higher, while new housing supply struggles to keep pace. Construction delays, labour shortages, and elevated material costs have slowed the delivery of new developments, limiting the number of properties entering the market. This ongoing supply constraint has supported propertyRead More →

Chronic construction constraints for new housing coupled with a listings drought for established homes, saw virtually all of Queensland’s major regions’ median house sale prices rise in the final quarter of 2025 and year-on-year. In fact, looking at the change over the year in median sales prices, double-digit annual growth rates were recorded for both houses and units across most of the LGA centres. The Real Estate Institute of Queensland’s (REIQ) latest median sales data for the December 2025 quarter (October – December 2025) show the statewide median house price rose 6.11% over the quarter and 13.7% over the year.

As regular readers of this column will know the managing director and I don’tmind a bit of travel, preferably of the comfortable variety. As such I write thismonth’s missive from the Matild Palace hotel in Budapest, as one does. Thehotel is every bit as pleasant as the name suggests and I find myselfensconced in the breakfast room, looking out over a winter wonderland ofhistoric buildings and snow.I should be happy, but I’m not. In fact, I suspect this will be our last suchjourney with future adventures confined to our native land and perhaps theoccasional foray to the Land of the Long White Cloud. On aRead More →

The Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) says the Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBA) decision to lift the cash rate by another 25 basis points to 4.1% unfairly punishes borrowers for rising everyday essential costs that are entirely outside of their control. REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella said the two rate hikes in as many months is piling on the misery to borrowing households who are already grappling with high housing costs and broader cost-of-living pressures. “Many households are already feeling the squeeze from rising energy costs and other essentials, so the cumulative impact of back-to-back rate rises will stretch budgets even further,” Ms Mercorella said.Read More →

Welcome to 2026. What an unbelievable start to the year – fires, cyclones, floods, an Ashes series win, and Academy Award (The Oscars) nominations for Australian artists. You must be an optimist in the first month. We need to believe that the future can be better than the past. So, make 2026 an adventure – optimism plus volatility. It will not be a set and forget year. What do I think will happen in 2026? I mentioned a few topics in my column in the Christmas Edition newsletter.

Three things to know: Who takes on the risk in a body corporate? There’s an old saying about joining a poker game in Vegas: If you don’t know which of the players is the patsy, then you’re the patsy. A variation of that theme could be applied to decision making in a body corporate and the handling of risk. In any decision that a body corporate makes, there’s an element of risk. Some of those decisions are minor – which contractor are we using for this $500 job? Others can be major and involve relatively significant assumptions of risk. If there is risk involved inRead More →

Welcome to AGR’s October 2025 Insights Newsletter. For this month, we have focused our Insights on the SME Business sector, with our articles covering Payday Superannuation and cash-flow management strategies. The RBA will most likely not cut rates at their Melbourne Cup Day meeting in November. Key inflation data (core inflation) just released came in at 0.9% which for the RBA is way too high. Next chance of a cut is February 2026. An interest rate cut seemed on the cards when the labour market numbers for September were reported a couple of weeks back. The unemployment rate surged to 4.3% on the back on softer job growthRead More →
