In this episode, we deep-dive into the Newcastle property market and unpack why it’s emerging as one of Australia’s most compelling long-term investment locations.

Joined by Ben Robinson, a leading Newcastle mortgage broker and property strategist, we explore how Newcastle has evolved from its industrial roots into a lifestyle-driven, economically diversified regional city. The conversation covers migration trends from Sydney, remote work, infrastructure, affordability near the beach and how technology and AI may reshape where Australians choose to live by 2035.

We break down residential vs commercial opportunities, discuss unit blocks, industrial warehouses near the port and explain why Newcastle shares striking similarities with other successful transition cities like Geelong.

If you’re a property investor, buyer or simply curious about where Australia’s next growth corridors might be, this episode delivers long-term frameworks, practical insights and on-the-ground perspective you won’t find in headline data alone.

Australia’s property market just hit a turning point.

In this video, we break down the latest RBA interest rate decision, what it means for property investors in 2026 and why the “everything everywhere property boom” may officially be over.

We dive into:
📌 Why the RBA raised rates again after cutting too early
📌 How private demand and consumer spending are driving inflation
📌 What this means for cash flow, leverage and investor confidence
📌 Why uncertainty is rising — and how that changes investor behaviour
📌 The two-speed property market emerging in 2026
📌 Where opportunities may appear as weaker investors step back

This is a real-time, no-spin breakdown of monetary policy, property cycles and investor psychology — and what smart investors should be doing right now to protect and position their portfolios.

Whether you’re a seasoned investor, first-time buyer or owner-occupier watching the market closely, this episode gives you the context, strategy and clarity most headlines miss.
