Mortgage demand fell 5.4% last quarter. Owner-occupier loans down 3.3%. Investor lending down too (ABS).

Most people read that as bad news.

We read it as less competition.

Every buyer sitting on the sidelines waiting for a "safe" headline is a bidder you're not up against.

The investors who win this window aren't guessing the bottom — they've got finance sorted and they're negotiating hard.

Waiting is a position too. It has risks.

National rental vacancy: 1.3%. That's 40,771 empty homes in the entire country (SQM Research, July).

Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Darwin and Hobart are all under 1%. Darwin is at 0.3%.

Meanwhile rents are rising in 57.6% of suburbs — and prices have eased four months straight.

Softer entry price. Stronger rent. Yields back up to ~3.50%.

Owner-occupiers watch prices. Investors watch yield.

Listings just jumped 12.4% nationally in July — the biggest lift in over a year (SQM Research).

SA is up 11.8% for the month and 31.4% on last year. Perth is up 10.0% year-on-year.

More stock. Fewer competing buyers. Vendors actually negotiating.

For two years investors were fighting ten other offers in Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. That's thinning right now.

The discount you can negotiate today is real. The bottom of the cycle is invisible until it's gone.

"Home values are falling" is a national average — and after 75+ client purchases this year, I can tell you it's one of the least useful numbers in property.

Sydney and Melbourne are soft. But the affordable, jobs-led markets we're actually buying in — parts of QLD, SA and select corridors — are a different story on the ground. Hotspotting's research backs it up.

We don't buy "the market." We buy locations we're in every week.

Half of all auctions didn't sell last week — clearance rate 49.7%, down from 68.5% a year ago.

More sellers are switching to private treaty, which means more properties are quietly negotiable.

This is exactly when a buyer's agent earns their fee: reading motivation, structuring the offer, negotiating hard.

National home values fell for the third month running in June — the biggest monthly drop since 2022.

Most people see a reason to wait. Investors see negotiating power shifting back to the buyer: fewer competing bids, vendors meeting the market, time to do it right.

The rate is holding at 4.35%. Supply is tight. Rents are rising. This is a buyer's window.

"Growth already banked is not growth you'll receive."

Vacancy. Population. Yield. Employment depth. The factors that drive the next five years are the only ones that earn a weighting in our model. Townsville tops the table; the full scores for all 25 markets are in the report.

"Picking a horse after the race has finished."

That's what ranking regions on past price growth amounts to. In our model, past growth carries a weighting of exactly zero. We rank on what drives the next five years, not the five just gone.

"We let the maths win."

Publishing our full score table moved the Gold Coast from #18 to #12 — against our own judgement. A 9/10 population score can't be outvoted by a yield factor worth 20%. That's the point of showing your homework: it keeps you honest, even when it's your own thumb on the scale.

Vacancy is stuck at 1.6% and rents jumped 5.9% this year — up ~42% over five years.

Yields are recovering (3.5%), but with investor loan rates near 6.4% and the RBA holding at 4.35%, holding costs still bite.

The answer isn't "wait" — it's "buy well." Email [email protected] to plan your next move.
