Is now a good time to buy property in 2026?

Send us Fan MailWhat’s really happening in the 2026 property market, and should you buy now? In this episode of The Winner’s Playbook, Billy is joined by buyer’s agent Kev Tran to unpack what’s really happening, from rising interest rates and borrowing power cuts to inflation, construction costs, and policy conversations around capital gains tax and negative gearing.They explain why the market isn’t moving evenly, with affordable areas in Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide and parts of Melbourne still seeing strong demand, while higher priced segments slow down.More importantly, they break down what buyers should actually focus on, why trying to time the market can backfire, how to think about affordability and buffers, and what matters most for long term success.They also cover the types of properties that still make sense in this environment, along with key risks to avoid, including high density apartments, rising body corporate costs, and emotionally driven decisions.If you’re planning to buy in the next 6 to 12 months but feel stuck between fear and uncertainty, this episode gives you a clear, practical framework to move forward with confidence.Get in touch with Kev Tran:https://kevtran.com.au/https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevtranbuyersagent/----Want to find an Adviser that suits your financial needs:https://www.linkwealth.com.au/Get in touch with Josh: https://www.linkwealth.com.au/josh-lee-link Get in touch with Billy:https://www.linkwealth.com.au/billy-norman-linkJosh's TikTok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@joshleefinadv Billy's TikTok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@billynormanfp    Sign up to Link Wealth Group’s newsletter, Wealth Simplified: https://www.linkwealth.com.au/wealth-simplified   Our Financial Services + Credit Guide: https://www.linkwealth.com.au/financial-services-and-credit-guide ----    General advice disclaimer: The information contained within this podcast is general in nature and does not take into account your personal circumstances.
