In this episode of The Pure Property Podcast, Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop are joined by investor Ali Akbarian to explore the shifting landscape of Australian property investment amid falling housing approvals and tightening stock levels.
They highlight a 10 per cent drop in approvals against five-year averages, noting that government targets to build 1.2 million homes are unlikely to be met due to labour shortages and high construction costs.
Despite three interest rate cuts this year, the hosts argue that easing monetary policy won’t solve fundamental supply constraints.
Property listings are also down 11 per cent, particularly during the typically busy spring period, driving stronger competition and higher prices.
The government’s new 5 per cent deposit scheme has boosted buyer interest, but the hosts warn that high loan-to-value borrowing in a rising market poses financial risks.
Akbarian shares how disciplined strategy and expert advice helped him grow from a beginner to a 14-property portfolio worth over $9 million, reinforcing the importance of aligning investment goals with professional guidance and a strong mindset.

Competitive rates, hot market, hotspots and strategies
In this episode of The Pure Property Podcast, Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop explore the shifting landscape of Australian property investment following the Reserve Bank’s key interest rate cut to 3.6 per cent.
The duo discuss the intricacies of the current market, government schemes and strategies for potential investors, blending global insights with local expertise.
Paul, speaking from Ontario, Canada, shares his experiences travelling through Europe and North America, offering a unique perspective on hidden opportunities and challenges in property investment.
They examine the Australian First Home Guarantee Scheme, set to expand from 1 October, which allows first-time buyers to purchase homes with just a 5 per cent deposit, but caution that it may increase competition and push up property prices in major markets.
Phil stresses the importance of discipline for first home buyers, advising them to start modestly rather than overextending financially in pursuit of their dream home.
For investors, the scheme presents both opportunities and challenges, with Paul highlighting areas of potential capital growth and the benefits of rising demand.
The discussion also covers banks offering competitive fixed rates, signalling possible shifts in financing options for investors.
