EP. 349 - Market Update Jan 2026 – Record $1M Median for Combined Capitals, Supply Shortages

🎧 In this month’s Property Trio market update, Cate, Dave and Mike unpack the latest January 2026 monthly market figures. Following the recent cash rate increase of 25 basis points, the Trio reflect on the conditions that lead the RBA Board to raise interest rates in Feb. This was after more than six months of rates on hold following early 2025’s three sets of cuts. Inflation was the primary driver, but many factors are taken into account. Join the Trio as they discuss the rationale behind the decision, and uncover more detail in the data that’s unfolding. Cate reflects on some of the answers provided by Governor Bullock in the press interviews, while Dave and Mike questioned historical cash rate decisions. An excerpt from the press interview with Governor Bullock in February 2026: “This interest rate rise sort of comes across quite negatively. We’re actually in a good position. The labour market is really strong. Domestic demand is recovering. These are good things but it’s just that we’re supply constrained. And we think we’re even a little more constrained than we thought back a little while ago. So, yes, the strategy is still trying to bring the economy back into balance and the labour market back into balance without overshooting and some other countries have done that.” With all capital cities exhibiting positive growth, the Trio marvel at Perth’s strength. The four standout capitals remain the same; Perth, Brisbane, Darwin and Adelaide. And this month, the regions have outperformed the capital cities. However, as Cate points out, January is a challenging month when it comes to data collation in this industry. 📈 Almost all cities and combined regions have eclipsed their last peak, but Canberra, Melbourne, Hobart, Regional Vic and Regional NT are still playing catch up. Rental growth seems to have increased its pace since 2025…. time will tell as we move through peak rental season Yields have continued to contract in the high growth markets, however Melbourne now represents a reasonable yield proposition for many investors. Listings continue to tell a great story, with new listings, total listings and old listings explaining the stock shortage in the four high-performance capital cities. 🏠 Tune in to hear more!… Follow Cate Bakos - Cate Bakos Property Facebook:   / catebakosproperty   Instagram:   / cate_bakos_property   Linkedin:   / catherinebakos   Website: https://www.catebakos.com.au/ Follow David Johnston - Property Planning Australia Facebook:   / propertyplanning   Instagram:   / propertyplanningaustralia   Linkedin:   / property-planning-australia   Website: https://propertyplanning.com.au/ Follow Mike Mortlock - MCG Quantity Surveyors: Facebook:   / mcgquantitysurveyors   Instagram:   / mcgquantitysurveyors   Linkedin:   / mcg-quantity-surveyors   Website: https://www.mcgqs.com.au/
