Season 7, Episode 16 – Melbourne Property, Lending Pressure & Rental Law Changes
In Episode 16 of the Expat Mortgage Podcast, host Jeremy Harper is joined by Daniel Stocco from Quixley Real Estate to unpack what’s really happening in Melbourne’s property market.
To begin with, they explore shifting buyer demand across inner-north suburbs, the emergence of a “K-shaped” market, and how affordability pressures and tighter lending conditions are influencing purchasing behaviour.
Furthermore, the conversation dives deep into Victoria’s latest rental reforms. This includes changes to evictions, rent increases, minimum standards, and tenant application rules. As they break this down, they explain what these updates mean in practice for landlords. Especially for Australian expats managing property from overseas.
Finally, the episode closes with a discussion on current finance conditions, rising borrowing constraints, and how interest rates are shaping investment decisions. Overall, Jeremy and Daniel assess whether Melbourne represents a genuine buying opportunity right now or whether investors should take a more cautious approach and wait for further clarity.
