The 2026 budget just moved the goalposts.
The budget trims values about 2-3% nationally, but the suburb you pick matters around 20 times more than the budget itself.
Negative gearing changes
Investor-heavy suburbs have been revised down about 4% versus the view before the budget. That can wipe out years of careful saving.
Investor concentration
When too many owners are investors, selling pressure can arrive fast. Sydney Olympic Park is about 40% investors. Castlecrag is about 5%.
Supply pressure
New apartments, nearby approvals and rental weakness can hit resale value. The risk is not city wide. It changes by suburb and pocket.
Avoid the suburbs carrying the budget risk.
Owner-occupier suburbs are forecast to beat renter-heavy ones by about 2.3% a year (2026 outlook). In Melbourne, the gap is about 3.7% a year. See the post-budget suburb forecasts.
| Suburb | City | Investor share | Post-budget outlook |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sydney Olympic Park | Sydney | About 40% | High risk. Investor exposure is about 8 times Castlecrag. |
| Dee Why | Sydney | High | Avoid. Renter-heavy profile puts resale value under pressure. |
| Melbourne | Melbourne | High | Weak. Melbourne renter-heavy areas trail by about 3.7% a year (2026 outlook). |
| Castlecrag | Sydney | About 5% | Steadier. Owner-occupier demand helps protect prices. |
| Brisbane | Brisbane | Mixed | Check pocket by pocket. Supply and rental mix decide the risk. |
Before you buy, see what's wrong with it.
A bad pocket can turn a good-looking deal into a long, expensive wait. See how risk shapes growth in our published research.
A hidden discount can sit there for decades.
A home in Mascot carries about a $120k growth discount from aircraft noise over 22 years. Rents are unaffected, so the problem can be easy to miss.
Pass Clean risk profile and fair price.
Hold Needs a discount before it makes sense.
Kill The hidden risk is too expensive.
The forecasts are tested against 12 years of real sales.
Our suburb and street forecasts have been checked across 876,000 past forecasts over 12 years, with a 79% hit rate on direction. Experts calling the national market get it right only about half the time, so we go granular instead.

How to make money in the property market, post-budget.
Luke Metcalfe, who built Microburbs, on what the budget changed and how to buy after it. About 13 and a half minutes, seventeen slides, ending on “It is not when you buy, it is where, and what you pay.”
A suburb is not one market. It is dozens.
Open any suburb report and the map breaks the suburb into microburbs, each one priced on its own. The pale blocks and the dark blocks below sit inside the same postcode.

“So much better than leaning on multiple websites for public housing, flood zones and the rest.”— Dharmendra Patel, InvestorSubscribe
A valuation prices a property. A forecast predicts a street or suburb.
They answer different questions, so we keep them separate. One tells you what a home is worth today. The other tells you where a street or suburb is heading.
Valuation, for a property
What this specific home is worth right now. Within 10% of the eventual sale price about 87% of the time, tested on 182,517 homes under $800,000 that sold between 2020 and 2025.
Forecast, for a street or suburb
Where values are heading next. Street-level patterns explain 96% of price moves, and our suburb forecasts score a 79% hit rate across 876,000 past calls over 12 years.
We publish a paper to back every claim.
Since 2014 we have tested what actually drives Australian property growth, then built each finding into the platform. Every number on this page has a paper behind it, and you can read the lot.

What investors and agents actually say.
Direct quotes from customers on how they use the platform. Real names, real desks.
“This is what I was trying to do, get to a point where we use one tool rather than four. And that is great.”
“What I was missing with so many things was street level data.”
“The valuation is amazing. CoreLogic sits around 13% out, yours is around 6%.”
“It gives our clients so much certainty. Independent data, quantified, and real peace of mind.”
“So much better than leaning on multiple websites for public housing, flood zones and the rest.”
“The projection, the prediction thing is really, really good, which no other tool does that.”
“I do think it is going to give me an edge, the kind of detail that makes me stand out.”
