Melbourne property market heats up as buyers rush into affordable suburbs ahead of promising 2026 outlook

In Short:
– Melbourne’s property market sees increased activity and competition from first-time buyers and investors due to auction bidders.
– Key suburbs and regional areas attract strong demand, with buyers encouraged to build support teams for off-market opportunities.

Rob Panetta from Lux Buyers Agents discussed the current state of Melbourne’s property market, noting increased buyer activity and competition due to multiple bidders at auctions. Both first-time buyers and investors are showing significant interest in the market.

Affordability is a key driver for investor behavior. Melbourne’s property values attract interest from interstate investors who recognise the city as undervalued, especially compared to areas in Sydney and Western Australia. Panetta highlighted that 2026 is expected to be pivotal for Melbourne’s property sector.

Active Suburbs

Areas like Faulkner, Hadfield, Glenroy, and parts of Keylor East and Avondale Heights are seeing notable activity due to first home buyer incentives. The Frankston area and regional hubs like Ballarat, Bendigo, and Geelong also showcase strong buyer demand.

Home purchases are favoured over apartments, which Panetta advises against unless for lifestyle choices. Many older apartments have decreased in value, whereas land acquisition within budget is recommended for clients.

Australians urged to prioritise disciplined investing over chasing high returns amidst concerns of an impending asset bubble.

In Short:
– Australians are building wealth through disciplined saving and investing rather than chasing high returns.
– Bryce Jenkins warns against heavy investments at market peaks due to risks from asset bubbles.

Australia’s financial landscape is evolving as individuals pursue disciplined wealth-building habits. Bryce Jenkins from The Virtuous Collective emphasises that it is not investments that lead to wealth but rather the consistency of disciplined saving and investing.

Recent market trends indicate that exceptional returns seen in property, cryptocurrencies, shares, and bonds may not persist. Jenkins argues that committing additional capital to a portfolio has a more significant impact on wealth than simply chasing high returns.

He cites scenarios from his book, “11 Unpopular Reasons Why I’m Rich and You Are Not,” illustrating how even small capital injections can significantly benefit investors over time.
