The noise doesn't. In this special collab episode, a simulcast between The Follio Property Podcast and The Perth Property Show — Reece and Lachlan sit down with Trent Fleskens, host of The Perth Property Show and founder of Strategic Property Group, for an unfiltered conversation on what the federal budget actually means for Perth investors, why the city's fundamentals remain in a class of their own, and exactly where this market has left to run. While Sydney falls and Melbourne flatlines, Perth is still north of 1% monthly growth. But with budget changes, rate hikes, and media noise hitting simultaneously, the question isn't whether Perth is strong, it's how to read it clearly.
