Property Market Trend 2: Millennials impact on the property market
Millennials are the first truly mobile generation. They shop and socialise online, embracing all that a digital native life has to offer.
It’s therefore no surprise they do things differently to previous generations and in this trend, we explore how the largest portion of Australia’s population:
- Think about homeownership
- Tackle the challenge of affordability
- How they have reset the boundaries of property search and what’s important
- Plan on being able to provide their family the same luxuries they enjoyed

Property Market Trend 3: Will the holiday home replace the holiday?
How has the shift to blended working and strict international travel restrictions impacted the holiday rental and holiday home market?
In this trend we take a deep dive into:
- The rise of the digital nomad and workcations
- The surge in domestic tourism and where holiday rental demand is centred
- How the perfect storm of low interest rates, deferred mortgage repayments, remote working and a desire to be safe and outside infection zones, has ensured growth in regional areas has outpaced the city.

Property Market Trend 4: The Value Buy: Inner City Apartments
With our international borders closed, it brings an unprecedented opportunity for local owner occupiers and investors.
But where is this opportunity for home buyers and property investors?
Here we examine the radical change Australia’s cities have undergone as a result of COVID. What the current decentralisation of our key cities means and how long will it stay this way. We unpack what the experts are predicting, and we look at the time limited opportunity buyers have before life returns to pre-pandemic levels of normalcy.
