About this listen

Choosing the right suburb can be the difference between a portfolio that grows effortlessly and one that stalls for years.

On this episode of the Defence Property Podcast, Discover Buyers Agency’s Kane Dury breaks down the five key metrics every investor should analyse before purchasing in a new area. Drawing from his own early investment mistakes, including a property that didn’t grow for 15 years, Kane explains why understanding the national landscape, suburb-level data and market cycles is essential to building long-term wealth.

From data confidence and cycle timing to affordability, supply-and-demand pressure, inventory levels, building approvals and trend movements across local markets, Kane unpacks the fundamentals that separate high-performance regions from those likely to underdeliver. With more than 17,000 suburbs across Australia, knowing how to assess an area properly can dramatically improve investment outcomes.
