    Around The Grounds #004 - Uncertainty creates opportunity

    There’s no shortage of noise in the market right now… rising interest rates, inflation, global uncertainty, and a lot of negative headlines. But what’s actually happening on the ground? In this episode, Jason Baron (Director, The Property Baron), Nick Meredith (Brisbane Partner), and Hugo Fonseca (Partner, Head of The Property Baron Invest) catch-up to share what they’re seeing across Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, and the investment market. From strong demand at the entry level to hesitation in the mid-market, and a clear shortage of quality stock at the top end, the reality is far more nuanced than the headlines suggest. They also unpack a key mistake buyers are making right now, chasing “cheap” without understanding the fundamentals, and why that approach can cost you in a shifting market. Despite the uncertainty, opportunities are starting to emerge for those who are prepared, informed, and ready to act with the right strategy. A grounded, honest update from the team on the ground, helping you cut through the noise and move forward with confidence.
