Show Notes

In this episode of Talk Property To Me, hosts Brad East and Aaron Downie break down the Australia property market outlook for 2026, with a deep dive into Newcastle and Lake Macquarie. We analyse suburb-level data, long-term price trends, and the key infrastructure projects shaping growth over the next few years โ€” including transport upgrades, hospital expansion, rezoning changes, and population growth drivers.

Rather than broad national headlines, this episode focuses on where the real opportunities are forming and why some suburbs will outperform others as we move into 2026.
