Could regional Victoria offer buyers more space, lifestyle and value?

Buyers are looking beyond Melbourne’s southeast to growing regional communities such as Drouin, where budgets may stretch further for larger blocks and family-sized homes.

"While property headlines focus on the broader market, one part of the market has been telling a different story.

Recent data has shown greater relative resilience at the more affordable end—and selected new property under $750,000 is attracting investor attention.

Why? Affordability, buyer reach, rental demand, replacement costs and changing tax settings all matter.

Is the slump in investor demand over—and is now the opportunity to strike?

The Guardian reports that investor borrowing has declined during 2026, but recent activity appears to be stabilising. At the same time, Australia’s underlying shortage of housing supply remains an important long-term market fundamental.

Periods of reduced investor competition may create opportunities for buyers who are ready to act—but the right decision depends on the individual property, location, numbers and investment strategy.

The RBA has kept the cash rate unchanged at 4.35%.

For property investors, attention is increasingly turning to the more affordable end of the market, where recent data has shown greater resilience and continued demand.

Lower-priced new property can offer investors an accessible entry point, strong rental appeal and the benefits that come with buying new.

For those considering property through an SMSF, qualifying commercial property may also be an option to explore with your licensed advisers.

Markets can move quickly once demand builds. If new property is part of your plans, now could be a good time to start researching your options.

Australia’s annual inflation rate eased from 4.0% to 3.8% in June, while trimmed mean inflation held at 3.6%.

While inflation remains above the RBA’s target range, the result may ease near-term pressure for further interest-rate increases. For property investors, it is a useful time to review borrowing capacity, rental income, cash flow and the opportunities available in the market.

Lower-priced new homes continue to offer benfits worth considering, particularly where affordability, modern features, depreciation potential, groath potential, rental demand and increasing rents remain important factors.

Property markets can shift before changes are widely recognised. Reviewing your strategy now can help ensure you are prepared to assess suitable opportunities as they arise.

Accrue Real Estate helps clients research new property opportunities and understand the numbers alongside their financial, tax and lending advisers. We can also assist clients considering commercial property opportunities.

Is it time to consider commercial property?

With recent policy changes placing a sharper focus on residential property investment, commercial property is one option some investors may wish to understand more closely.

Different lease structures, tenant arrangements and the potential for tenants to contribute to some property outgoings can make commercial property worth exploring. However, it also comes with different considerations.

At Accrue Real Estate, we help clients research markets, understand the numbers and explore property options for consideration. We can assist with market research, shortlisting and property due diligence support.

Speak with your financial adviser, accountant and legal adviser before making an investment decision. Accrue can help you research and explore commercial property options for consideration.

For property investors, the figures reinforce the importance of selecting locations with sustained rental demand, limited supply and rental income that supports the overall investment strategy.
