    Ep. 182 – Perth Property Update 2026: Is the Market Finally Slowing Down?

    In this quarterly market update, Neil Gibb is joined once again by Jamie Van Burgel from CBRE to unpack what's really happening in the Perth property market — and how it compares to the rest of Australia. After another strong year of growth, the big question is: Are we nearing the top, or is Perth still playing catch-up? In this episode, Neil and Jamie discuss: Perth's 12% annual house price growth and 18% unit growth Why WA continues to outperform Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide The widening (and now narrowing) gap between house and unit prices Whether rents have hit an affordability ceiling at $700 per week Land sales topping the nation at 11,000+ lots sold The impact of AUKUS, infrastructure and defence housing Investor activity vs first home buyers in 2026 Why Perth may still remain Australia's top-performing market They also dive into interest rates, affordability pressures, and whether multiple rate rises could finally shift sentiment heading into 2027. With vacancy rates stabilising and supply still struggling to meet demand, Perth continues to show resilience — but signs of moderation are emerging. If you're an investor, homeowner, or looking to enter the market, this episode gives you a clear, data-backed snapshot of where WA stands — and what could happen next. 🔔 Subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss an episode! 👉 Want help with your investment strategy?

    Ep. 181 - Asset Rich, Cashflow Poor: How Housing Design Is Failing Australians

    In this episode of The HMO Property Show, Neil Gibb breaks down why Australia's housing crisis isn't just about population growth or supply shortages — it's about building the wrong type of housing for the people who actually live here. Neil unpacks the growing disconnect between modern living patterns and outdated housing design, highlighting key data points: Nearly 60% of renters are singles or couples without children, yet most new housing stock is still designed as large family homes. Millions of bedrooms sit unused while families are priced out of rentals and vacancy rates remain at historic lows. The episode explores how this mismatch is driving rental stress, social isolation, and inefficiency across the housing market — particularly for older Australians living alone, single women experiencing housing stress, and renters forced into oversized, unaffordable homes. Neil explains why HMOs and co-living aren't a silver bullet, but are a critical part of the solution: Better utilisation of existing housing stock Lower per-person housing costs Built-in community and reduced loneliness Cashflow-positive assets for investors, even at principal and interest The conversation also touches on the broader social impact of housing design, including mental health, loneliness, and dignity — and why housing policy must consider how people live, not just how many houses are built. This episode is essential listening for investors, policymakers, and anyone who wants to understand why the housing crisis persists — and what actually needs to change to fix it. 🔔 Subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss an episode! 👉 Want help with your investment strategy?

    Ep. 180 - Lifestyle Creep & the High-Income Wealth Trap (Perth Market Reality Check for 2026)

    Perth is creating wealth fast — but what you do with that wealth will decide whether 2026 sets you free or locks you into higher costs. As Perth continues to lead the country, Neil opens 2026 with a timely warning for high earners and property owners. With listings tight, prices rising, and equity building fast, many people feel wealthier than ever — but that's often when lifestyle creep quietly sets in. Using the current Perth market as the backdrop, Neil explains how treating equity like cash leads people to upgrade homes, cars, and lifestyles instead of locking in income-producing assets. This episode breaks down the difference between income-driven spending and asset-led wealth creation, why income doesn't compound but assets do, and how high earners fall into the "high-income wealth trap" without realising it. If you want to use this market as a launchpad for true financial freedom — not permission to expand your cost base — this episode sets the mindset for 2026. 🔔 Subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss an episode! 👉 Want help with your investment strategy?

  4. Ep. 179 — Reflecting on 2025: A Year In Review (Perth Property) + What I Think Happens in 2026

    Ep. 179 — Reflecting on 2025: A Year In Review (Perth Property) + What I Think Happens in 2026

    In the final episode of 2025, Neil reflects on how the Perth market really moved this year—and why the "Perth is coming off the boil" narrative missed what was happening on the ground. With listings tighter than last year, rents still elevated, and turnover running hot, the story of 2025 wasn't boom-and-bust — it was a reset driven by demand rotating through the market. Neil updates his tier model for 2026 (and explains why price alone no longer tells the full story), then maps out what happens if rates stay flat, rise slightly, or fall. Finally, he shares suburbs he believes could be movers in each tier—from affordability-driven fringe markets through to scarce, premium blue-chip pockets. Why the "Perth is cooling" narrative missed what was actually happening on the ground in 2025 How the market shifted through three tiers — and why the mid-tier movement pulled the lower bracket up Why listings stayed tight (and got tighter), and what that means for buyers heading into 2026 The 2026 shift: buyer type matters more than price (affordability vs life-stage vs wealth) What could happen if rates stay flat, edge higher, or drop — and which tier reacts first Suburbs Neil's watching across each tier: Tier 1: Baldivis, Ellenbrook, Alkimos, Byford, Armadale (select pockets) Tier 2: Bayswater, Yokine, Morley, Willetton, Booragoon Tier 3: Cottesloe, Claremont, City Beach, South Perth, Floreat If you want a straight, on-the-ground breakdown of what really happened in Perth in 2025 — and what I think is coming in 2026 — hit play now. 🎧 Listen to Episode 179 on your favourite podcast app, or 📺 watch the full episode on YouTube. 🔔 Subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss an episode! 👉 Want help with your investment strategy?

    Ep 178 - Time in the Market: The Real Secret to Property Freedom

    In this episode of The HMO Property Show, Neil dives into one of the most powerful forces in investing: compounding. Using simple examples — from a 1¢ coin doubling to Warren Buffett's wealth and the "snowball down the hill" — Neil explains how compounding works for you when you invest, and against you when you sit in bad debt. You'll learn: Why time in the market always beats trying to "time the market" How a $1M property with a $100K deposit can double your money on paper How credit card debt and mortgages quietly compound against you Why Australia's population growth and housing shortage give property a tailwind The difference between the person who takes action and the one who waits How to use goals and small daily actions to build a snowball of wealth If you've ever thought "I've left it too late" or "I'll start next year", this episode is your sign to get the snowball rolling.   🔔 Subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss an episode! 👉 Want help with your investment strategy?

  8. Ep. 175 — Perth's Housing Crunch: Why Cashflow-First Beats "Buy & Pray"

    Ep. 175 — Perth's Housing Crunch: Why Cashflow-First Beats "Buy & Pray"

    Perth's market is still running hot — ultra‑low vacancies, record‑fast sales, and construction that can't keep up. In this solo update, Neil breaks down the national and WA picture, explains why the old "buy and wait" playbook stalls your borrowing capacity, and lays out a cashflow‑first strategy with infill new builds and HMOs. If you're priced out of established stock or stuck at the bank's DTI ceiling, this episode shows a smarter path that matches today's renter demand. As discussed in the episode: Australia's population ended 2024 at ~27.4M (+445k, ~1.7%). National vacancy ~0.8%; Perth/Adelaide pockets near 0.4%. Projected national housing shortfall ~400k by 2029. WA population +70k in 2024; Perth listings down ~42% YoY. ~900 weekly sales; ~2,869 listings (≈33% of stock turns weekly). 2024 completions ~20k; 24/25 ~22.6k vs 26–30k needed. Big idea: build what tenants actually rent (singles/couples = 70–80% of market). Cashflow pays the bills; growth is the bonus.
