Key Capital Cities

Brisbane 1080

Brisbane 2032: A City on the Rise
Brisbane is evolving rapidly, emerging as one of the most exciting places to live, work and visit. With the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games on the horizon, the city is stepping onto the global stage with new energy and opportunity.

Melbourne 1080

Melbourne: Primed for Growth
Melbourne has become one of the most affordable major capitals, with a price-to-income ratio of 6.9, the lowest since 2014. This shift is creating renewed opportunity for buyers and investors looking to enter a resilient, high-potential market.

Perth 1080

Perth: Extreme Undersupply
Perth’s property listings have fallen to an all-time low, with limited supply placing continued pressure on prices. Demand continues to outpace availability, intensifying competition across the market. As a result, values are expected to remain on a strong upward trajectory.

Sydney 1080

Sydney: Low Yields Challenge Investors
Sydney ranks among the world’s top-10 most liveable cities for 2025, scoring 96.6 out of 100 for its healthcare, education, infrastructure and environment. Strong demand underpins the market, but low yields continue to challenge investors in this premium city.

Real people. Real results.

“...We knew investment was important but didn’t know how to invest… Given I am very busy at work, I didn’t think the share market is a suitable option for me. I was looking for something less volatile, better suited in the long-term alongside my career."
