According to Cotality, Australian home values fell for the sixth month in a row in September, down 1.1%. If you’ve been waiting on the sidelines, here’s the bigger picture:

- Cotality’s data shows values are now 5.2% below their March 2026 record high.
- PropTrack’s report puts national prices 3.3% below their peak.

That doesn’t mean every home is a bargain, and every suburb is different. But it does mean you may have more time to do your homework and negotiate, instead of rushing to keep up with rising prices.

At BMC Buyers Agency, we help home buyers and investors across Australia work out what a property is really worth and secure the right deal.

Is the property investment playbook changing? According to the PropTrack-Terri Scheer Investor Report 2026, the number of investor loans has fallen more sharply than owner-occupier loans this year.

Why? PropTrack points to interest rate rises and the federal budget tax changes, which have made low-yielding, loss-making properties less attractive.

Investors are responding with smarter property choices:

- Cash flow focus: Demand is shifting toward higher-yielding properties. PropTrack’s data shows Sydney rental yields around 3.5% and Melbourne approaching 4%.
- New builds: New homes were carved out of the budget tax changes to support housing supply, and PropTrack reports investor loans to buy or build new homes rose 24% in the June quarter.

At BMC Buyers Agency, we help investors across Australia find and assess properties that suit today’s market.

Not sure whether now is the right time to invest?

You’re not alone.

There’s a lot of information out there, and plenty of opinions about whether you should buy now, wait, choose a new build or look at an established property.

But there isn’t one answer that works for everyone.

The right investment depends on your goals, your financial position and what you’re comfortable holding over the long term.
Sometimes a new build makes sense.

Sometimes an established property is the better option.
The important thing is making sure the strategy fits you, rather than making a decision based on headlines or someone else’s advice.

Thinking about buying an investment property? Start with the “why”. 🏡

I recently had a great chat with TDA Tax Depreciation on their podcast, TDA Talks.

One thing we discussed was how easy it is to jump into property investment without a clear plan. Buying whatever looks like a good deal might seem like a good starting point, but does it actually move you towards your goals?

Before you start looking, ask yourself:
→ Why am I investing in property?
→ Where do I want it to get me?

Once you understand your goals, it becomes much easier to choose a property and strategy that make sense for you.

Have you worked out your “why” yet? Send us a message if you’d like to talk it through.

Australian gross rental yields reached 3.85% in September, the highest level recorded since August 2019, according to Cotality.

National rents have also increased 5.5% over the past year.

That may sound positive for investors, but gross rental yield is not the same as actual cash flow.

A property with a higher headline yield can still have significant holding costs.

The key is to look at the full picture:
- Rental income
- Interest and other holding costs
- Vacancy risk
- Tenant demand
- Long-term property fundamentals

The highest yield is not always the best investment.

Are you prioritising cash flow, capital growth or a combination of both?

Australia is not one property market. 🏡

PropTrack data shows national home prices fell 0.2% in September and are now 3.3% below the March peak.

But the national figure does not tell the whole story.

Capital city values fell 0.3% over the month, while regional markets held steady and remain 5.1% higher than a year ago. Unit values also held steady, while house values softened.

The key is to look at the specific location and property type. Different markets can perform very differently.

The Reserve Bank of Australia raised the official cash rate target by 0.25% to 4.60% at its 29 September meeting.

Higher interest rates can reduce borrowing capacity and increase mortgage costs. But if buyer competition has eased, there may also be more time to inspect properties, assess value and negotiate.

The key is having a clear budget and a strategy based on the numbers.

When you’re comparing investment properties, what do you look at first?

Tax benefits?
Projected growth?
Rental income?

For me, it starts with cash flow.

What will this property actually cost you before tax benefits?

Recently, I reviewed a situation where an investor had purchased a new build expecting the tax benefits to help offset the higher holding costs.

But when we worked through the numbers, the reality was very different.

That’s why it’s important to understand the real cost of holding a property before getting caught up in potential tax benefits or future growth.

Cash flow comes first.

Growth potential, rental income and tax outcomes all matter, but they need to be considered as part of the bigger picture and alongside your financial situation and long-term goals.

⚠️ A property adviser can disappear. Your property decision doesn’t.

The collapse of property advisory firm Dashdot earlier this year is a useful reminder for anyone paying for property advice: look beyond the sales pitch.

Before engaging an adviser, ask:

🔎 Who are they acting for?
💰 What exactly are you paying for?
📋 When are fees payable?
🤝 How many clients are they managing at once?
🏠 Who is responsible for the actual property strategy and negotiation?

At BMC Buyers Agency, client capacity is deliberately capped to ensure each client receives dedicated attention.

Why?

Because buying property deserves attention.

Our approach is built around understanding the client’s strategy, assessing the numbers, identifying risks and negotiating from evidence, rather than letting urgency or emotion determine the price.

Whether you’re buying your first home, upsizing or investing, the right property is not necessarily the one that creates the most excitement.

It’s the one that makes sense for your strategy.

Buying property now involves more than finding the right home.

From 1 July 2026, Australia’s expanded AML/CTF requirements began applying to newly regulated sectors, including certain real estate services.

That means more focus on things such as:
📋 Customer due diligence
🔎 Identity and transaction checks
🗂️ Record keeping
⚖️ AML/CTF processes and reporting

For buyers, it is another reason to have a clear process around a property purchase.

At BMC Buyers Agency, we don’t simply search for listings.

We work through the strategy behind the purchase, assess properties against that strategy and help clients navigate the steps involved in getting from “this looks interesting” to a properly considered offer.

The property market can move quickly.

That doesn’t mean your decision should be rushed.

📌 Good buying requires strategy, evidence and attention to detail.
