You're warmly invited to join our next webinar on Wednesday 23 September to tackle a question facing many buyers right now: should you buy your first home (or upgrade your current one), or buy an investment property first?
Whether you're a first home buyer, planning to upgrade, or looking to build an investment portfolio, this session will help you work out the right next move for your situation. The Spring market has kicked off, and we'll take a close look at how it's performing across the country, including the latest hotspots and no-go zones. We'll unpack the latest figures and where sentiment is heading for the remainder of 2026 and into 2027, giving you the insights you need to make a confident decision on your next property move.
Rather than getting overwhelmed trying to figure out your next step alone, join me and Hotspotting founder Terry Ryder — whose 40 years of market research and real-time data will help unpack where growth is heading next — for a live webinar where we'll also answer your questions live.
