When it comes to the 2026 Australian property market, what's your current situation?

I'm still deciding whether to buy or invest—haven't done much research yet I've read a bit about trends but I'm unsure which suburbs or property types make sense I've researched several suburbs and understand interest rate impacts, but I'm not 100% confident I've done detailed research on my target area, understand market dynamics, and I'm ready to move forward

How prepared are you financially for a property purchase or investment in 2026?

I haven't calculated my actual borrowing capacity or considered ongoing costs like rates and maintenance I know roughly what I can borrow, but I haven't factored in all the hidden costs I've calculated my borrowing capacity and understand most costs, but I'm still refining my budget I have a clear financial plan with buffer funds, understand all costs, and I'm comfortable with my position

How clear is your strategy for selecting the right location and property type?

I'm looking at whatever's available in my price range—location details aren't a major focus I have a general idea of the area I want, but I haven't researched growth corridors or infrastructure plans I've identified 2–3 target areas and understand some local factors, but I'm still weighing options I've analysed my target suburbs for employment, infrastructure, demographics, and long-term growth potential

Which of these common property mistakes do you feel most at risk of making?

I'm worried I might overextend on borrowing or ignore location fundamentals I'm concerned about buying at the wrong time or not doing enough research before deciding I'm slightly anxious about not diversifying or missing emerging opportunities I've identified the key risks for my situation and I have strategies to avoid them
