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.

Rate cuts ignite optimism: What it means for property investors now
In this recent episode of The Pure Property Podcast, Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop explore the shifting landscape of Australian property investment, following a key interest rate cut by the Reserve Bank to 3.6 per cent.
This move has sparked optimism among investors, as lower borrowing costs improve loan affordability and refinancing options.
The duo stresses the importance of working closely with mortgage brokers to ensure rate cuts are passed on and fixed-rate transitions are managed effectively.
A major focus is the long-term value of capital growth over short-term yield, supported by data showing cities like Sydney and Melbourne outperforming others like Darwin over 25 years.
While high-yield properties offer immediate cash flow, capital growth is highlighted as the true driver of wealth in property.
The co-hosts also note that reduced property listings – down 6.8 per cent year-on-year – are pushing prices higher, adding urgency to informed investing.
Using a lighthearted champagne analogy, they liken quality investments to vintage wine – carefully selected and rewarding over time, urging investors to prioritise strategy and patience to maximise long-term returns.
