Are you negotiation ready?

Brisbane's property market has shifted. Listings are up this spring, but buyer demand hasn't kept pace, and Cotality's data shows local values have eased for a second straight month.

That's giving buyers more room to negotiate than they've had in some time.

Room to negotiate only matters if you're in a position to use it. A buyer with finance already sorted can push on price, terms, or settlement timing. A buyer still waiting on pre-approval is left reacting to whoever gets there first.

If you're planning to buy this spring, the first move isn't inspecting properties. It's knowing your borrowing power and having finance ready to act on it.

After several unsuccessful attempts with other brokers, Vesna and her partner were close to giving up on the idea of owning a home. A referral from their goddaughter led them to Brad, and everything changed from there.

Persistent, thorough, and genuinely invested in getting them across the line, that's the difference Brad made. Now they're recommending Mane Financial to their own family and friends 🦁

Data centres are having a moment in Australia (and indeed the Western), with well over $150 billion in investment either underway or in the pipeline just here alone.

It's a genuine boom, backed by major tech players committing tens of billions of dollars each.

But there's a flow-on effect that's easy to miss. Data centres need serious amounts of land, and in some growth corridors, that's land that could otherwise be zoned or released for housing.

On top of that, the same tradespeople, materials and capital that would normally go toward residential construction are increasingly being pulled toward data centre builds, at a time when Australia is already falling short of its housing targets.

What makes this different from past infrastructure booms is the speed. Mining and manufacturing investment tends to build over years, giving housing supply time to adjust. Data centre investment is moving faster than that, and planning systems and construction pipelines haven't caught up. For buyers and investors, that means supply pressure in growth corridors may not ease as quickly as market cycles would normally suggest, regardless of what happens with rates.

If you're planning a purchase in an area that's expanding fast, factor in what else is competing for that land and those trades, not just what the market's doing today 🦁

If you're renting in Brisbane, you've probably noticed things have gotten tighter lately.

You're not imagining it. Rents here have climbed close to Sydney levels, and vacancy rates are still sitting near record lows, so there's not a lot of breathing room for tenants right now.

But if you're on the other side of that, thinking about buying an investment property, this is a pretty interesting moment. Rents going up while prices in Sydney and Melbourne cool off means the numbers can work differently than they did a year ago.

It's not a straightforward "buy now" though. There are changes to negative gearing coming in 2027, and the return still needs to stack up against your borrowing costs.

If Brisbane's been on your radar, revisit the numbers with fresh eyes rather than going off what made sense last year. Need help? Reach out 🦁

For a few weeks after the federal budget, things slowed down. Buyers were sitting back, waiting to see what would happen.

That hesitation seems to be lifting. We're seeing more contracts come through, from owner-occupiers, investors and first home buyers alike, and a couple of major lenders have started trimming their fixed rates too.

None of this guarantees where things go next, but if you've been waiting for a sign that the market's moving again, this might be it 🦁

We're not chasing five-star reviews for the sake of it. What we care about is doing right by the people we work with, day in, day out.

But we hit 100 Google reviews recently, and that's 100 people who bought a home, refinanced, or built an investment portfolio with us, and took a moment afterwards to say it went well. That means something.

Thank you to everyone who's taken the time. And if you've worked with us and haven't left a review yet, we'd love to hear from you 🦁

Cutting through confusion and turning it into confidence, that's what a good broker does 🙌🏼

Brad walked Bi Bi through their options honestly, stayed dedicated to getting the right outcome, and made sure nothing felt overwhelming along the way.

This is exactly why people come back to Brad and refer their friends and family 🦁

⏰ If you're planning to purchase residential property through your SMSF, the clock's ticking ⏰

From 10th August, SMSF lending for residential property comes to an end, and only commercial property purchases will be eligible going forward. You don't need to have settled by then, but you do need to be under contract.

If this is something you've been sitting on, now's the time to move. Reach out and we'll walk you through what's involved before the window shuts 🦁
