📢 Why busy professionals use a buyers agent. In their words. 📢

The most common thing I hear before someone becomes a client isn't "how much do you charge?"

It's "I've been meaning to do this for about two years."

The delay is usually one of four things:

1️⃣ They thought they could manage it themselves alongside a demanding career.

2️⃣ Then they spent 14 months on realestate.com.au, missed several properties they were serious about, and realised the market was moving faster than their weekends.

3️⃣ They weren't sure a buyer's agent was "worth it." Then they calculated what a six-month delayed entry had cost them in capital growth and decided the conversation was worth having.

4️⃣ They didn't know where to start. They wanted property but didn't have a clear strategy, and starting without one felt risky.

What I do for most of my clients isn't magic.

It's clarity, access, and ex*****on.

➡️ Clear strategy before they start searching.
➡️ Access to properties that don't reach the open market.
➡️ Ex*****on that removes the emotion and the wasted weekends.

If you've been meaning to have this conversation for a while — that's usually a signal in itself. 👇

🏡 The granny flat question every investor is asking right now 🏡

NAB data shows demand for renovation loans jumped 21% last year, driven primarily by homeowners adding granny flats.

The appeal is obvious: rental income, multigenerational living, potential value uplift, land use efficiency.

But the strategic question most buyers don't ask before they buy the property is: does this site actually support a granny flat in a way that adds value, or just in a way that's technically possible?

There's a difference.

A granny flat that adds $80,000 in build cost and generates $400 per week in rent is a strong yield story — if the main dwelling already stacks up as an asset.

A granny flat on a 400sqm block in a suburb where land is the scarce commodity can actually reduce the property's appeal to future buyers by eliminating the yard.

What makes this worth thinking about at the purchase stage, not after you've settled:

Council zoning, block dimensions, site coverage limits, and the demographic profile of your likely future buyer all determine whether a granny flat is an asset or an overcapitalisation.

If secondary dwellings are part of your investment strategy, the due diligence starts before you sign, not after you move in. 👇

💰 How much do you need to earn to buy in Australia? 💰

The honest answer is more complicated.

Domain data puts a dollar figure on it.

To buy the median house in Sydney on a single income, assuming a 20% deposit, you need to earn $232,000 per year.

Darwin: $111,000.

For couples, each partner needs $121,000 in Sydney. Around $68,000 in more affordable capitals.

These numbers get shared as a story about affordability.

But I read them differently.

What they actually tell you is that market selection is doing more work in your investment decision than almost any other variable.

A professional earning $180,000 has radically different options depending on whether they're targeting Sydney, Perth, Brisbane, or a regional hub.

Same income, completely different strategy.

This is the conversation that often gets skipped.

People lock in a location first — usually because they live there or because it feels familiar — and then ask whether they can afford it.

The smarter approach: start with what your income and borrowing capacity can actually achieve, then identify which markets give you the best result within that envelope.

Geography should follow strategy.

Not the other way around. 👇

🏢 House vs unit: the question most buyers answer wrong 🏡

The median unit price across Australian capital cities is $749,000.

The median house price is $1,140,000.

A 34% difference. $391,000.

Most buyers default to one or the other based on budget.

That's not a strategy.

Here's the question worth asking: what does the asset need to do for you?

Houses, historically, outperform units over the long run — primarily because of land value appreciation.

The building depreciates. The land doesn't.

Units can work for cash flow in the right markets — high-yield, low-vacancy, strong rental demand.

But you need to be specific about where and what type, because the unit market is far less uniform than the house market.

What you should never do is buy a unit because it's cheaper without understanding whether that asset serves your strategy.

Cheaper entry is only an advantage if you're entering the right thing.

I've seen clients talk themselves into a unit because it was within budget, settle, and spend the next five years watching comparable houses outperform them by a substantial margin.

The brief needs to come before the budget.

Not the other way around. 👇

Still grateful for this one. Thank you again MCCC Melville Cockburn Chamber of Commerce.

When I left clinical healthcare and moved into property, a lot of people raised an eyebrow. Thirteen years in oncology, then into buyers agency. It seemed like an odd move.

But the thing healthcare drills into you is that outcomes matter.

Not effort. Not good intentions. Actual outcomes for the person in front of you.

That translated perfectly.

Everything we do at Joshua Anthony starts with strategy. Understanding what a client actually needs, not just what they think they want. The results follow from that.

So when the award specifically called out measurable client outcomes and consistent ex*****on, that landed differently than a general pat on the back.

Grateful to MCCC for continuing to shine a light on it, and grateful to every client who trusted the process.

This one is for you. 🏆

🐜 What a building and pest inspection actually tells you (and what it doesn't) 🐜

A Domain report recently flagged a 30% increase in termite-related calls to pest companies across Australia.

Last summer's hot, humid conditions were ideal for them.

That's a practical problem for anyone buying a property right now.

But there's a broader point worth making about inspections.

Most buyers treat a building and pest report as a box to tick.

Something you order, scan for red text, then proceed regardless.

The buyers who use them well treat the report as negotiation intelligence.

1️⃣ Found evidence of previous termite activity but no active infestation? That's a price conversation.

2️⃣ Roof showing end-of-life condition? That's a price or condition conversation.

3️⃣ Minor structural movement? Depends on the cause — that might be nothing or it might be a reason to walk.

A $600–$1000 inspection doesn't just protect you from hidden defects.

It gives you leverage.

Or it tells you to get out before you've signed anything you can't undo.

Ideally, you want the inspection done before you sign anything.

In some markets around Australia that's entirely achievable — vendors are open to it and agents expect it.

Perth is a different story right now.

Competition is tight and most vendors won't accept a conditional offer, so the inspection often has to happen post-exchange.

It's not ideal but it's the reality of the market.

Know which situation you're in before you make an offer.

The strategy changes depending on where you're buying. 👇

📉 Rate cuts don't change strategy. Here's what does 📉

72% of Australian mortgage holders now say debt reduction is their primary financial goal, according to Agile Market Intelligence research.

Rates have reshaped the way people think about their property.

But here's the thing about anchoring your strategy to the rate cycle: it keeps you reactive.

When rates went up, people got cautious.

When rates come down, people get active.

By the time the broader market feels confident enough to act, the best entry points have often already passed.

The investors I know who have built serious portfolios didn't time the rate cycle.

They bought quality assets consistently, held through the noise, and let the compounding do the work.

Rates matter for cash flow modelling.

They matter for serviceability.

They should not be the primary variable determining whether you build a portfolio or not.

If you're waiting for the rate environment to "settle" before you buy — you're waiting for a feeling, not a condition.

Strategy is the thing that makes you immune to that instinct. 👇

🧠 The co-buying trend. Smart strategy or expensive compromise? 🧠

CommBank data shows 6 in 10 first home buyers are now teaming up with a co-buyer — spouse, friend, or family member — to get into the market.

Worth thinking carefully about what that means before you sign up for it.

Co-buying works well when: both parties have aligned goals, aligned time horizons, and a clear legal agreement about what happens if life changes.

Co-buying creates problems when: one person wants to sell and the other doesn't, the relationship changes, one party loses their job, or you disagree about renovation decisions that affect the asset's value.

I've seen co-purchasing arrangements accelerate wealth creation for people who went in with eyes open.

I've also seen them end messy and expensive when the initial conversations weren't had.

The structure isn't inherently good or bad.

The question is whether the due diligence on your co-buyer is as rigorous as the due diligence on the property.

If you're considering it: get a solicitor involved before you find the property, not after. 👇

📈 Investor activity is at a decade high. What that tells you about the next window. 📈

PropTrack data shows investor activity across Australia is at its highest level in years.

The driver isn't complicated: low vacancy rates, tight rental market, fast-rising rents.

And it's being validated by outcomes.

More than 93% of recent investor sales turned a profit.

That's the highest figure in a decade.

There are two ways to read this.

The optimistic read: conditions are strong, demand is real, fundamentals support continued growth.

The cautious read: when investor activity reaches peak levels, you need to be more careful — not less — about what you're buying.

A rising tide lifts all boats. But not all boats are seaworthy when the tide turns.

This is exactly why the selection discipline matters more in a hot market than a slow one.

Anyone can make money when everything goes up.

The quality of your decision only becomes visible when conditions normalise.

What I'm focused on with clients right now: finding assets that work in both scenarios.👇
