| 2/11/26 | Ep. 58 | Inner East vs Inner North - The Great Showdown | Inner East vs Inner North isn't just about a postcode. It’s about the lifestyle tribe you belong to. A buyer moving from Sydney's Surry Hills will naturally gravitate toward the North's warehouse cool. The exact same buyer, if they prioritize elite schooling and prestige, will find their home in the East. This choice is a fundamental reflection of how you want to live and move through Melbourne. But the real story behind this showdown is far more complex than just choosing between heritage es... | 28m 39s | ||||||
| 2/4/26 | Ep. 57 | Heritage vs New: What Buyers Really Want in the Inner East | Heritage vs modern homes in the inner east isn't just about preference. It's about what shaped you. A first home buyer who grew up in Hawthorne wants terraces. The exact same buyer, if they grew up in Mulgrave, wants modern. That's a fundamental difference for the same person. But the real story behind this preference is far more complex than just nostalgia alone. In this episode of Buying Melbourne, Tristan Larkin and James Rankin explore why understanding your emotional drivers is critical ... | 25m 20s | ||||||
| 1/28/26 | Ep. 56 | The Postcode Price Gap In Inner Melbourne | The postcode price gap in Melbourne isn't just about location. A fully rebuilt Victorian home in Windsor is quoted at $3.6-$3.9 million. The exact same home, placed two minutes away in Toorak, would fetch $6.5 million. That's a $2.6 million difference for a two-minute drive. But the real story behind this gap is far more complex than postcodes alone. In this episode of Buying Melbourne, Tristan Larkins and James Rankin explore why understanding the micro-pockets within suburbs is critical to ... | 25m 12s | ||||||
| 1/21/26 | Ep. 55 | Should You Buy Or Sell First In 2026? | The buy-first-or-sell-first question isn't about personal preference. It's about market conditions. Real estate agents push you to sell first because that's when they get paid. Mortgage brokers want certainty on borrowing capacity. But the right answer depends entirely on the market you're selling into, your property type, and your financial position. In this episode of Buying Melbourne, Tristan Larkin and James Rankin break down why this decision is far more situational than people realize. ... | 26m 07s | ||||||
| 12/17/25 | Ep. 54 | Turnkey, Renovate or Build: Which Strategy Actually Works in 2025? | Melbourne's property market has split into three distinct worlds. Turnkey homes are selling fast with buyers paying premiums for certainty. Unrenovated properties are sitting longer with buyers demanding heavy discounts. Build sites are only attracting committed buyers with deep pockets. With construction costs volatile, renovation budgets blowing out, and banks tightening lending, buyers are paying a premium for one thing: certainty. In this episode of Buying Melbourne, Tristan Larkin and Ja... | 32m 37s | ||||||
| 12/10/25 | Ep. 53 | Are Chinese Factories About to Replace Aussie Builders? | Five townhouses built in a Chinese factory, shipped to Australia, and craned into place just sold out in three weeks in Craigieburn. Build time? Eight weeks from slab to occupancy certificate versus the standard ten to twelve months. Cost? Twenty percent cheaper than volume builders. Welcome to the prefab revolution that could either solve Australia's housing crisis or spark the biggest industry disruption in decades. In this episode of Buying Melbourne, Tristan Larkin and James Rankin unpack... | 28m 26s | ||||||
| 12/3/25 | Ep. 52 | How Each Price Point Is Performing Right Now | Melbourne's property market isn't one market. It's five completely different markets operating in isolation. While sub-$1 million properties in Frankston surge 20% and clearance rates hold steady, the $2 million-plus market is brutally split between renovated properties selling $300K-400K over range and unrenovated homes passing in everywhere. In this episode of Buying Melbourne, Tristan Larkin and James Rankin break down exactly how each price point is performing right now and why the answer... | 23m 33s | ||||||
| 11/21/25 | Ep. 51 | HUGE Changes Announced To Underquoting In Victoria | In May 2025, Victoria's property market will face its most dramatic regulatory change yet: agents will be required to publish the vendor's reserve price seven days before auction. It's a bold move designed to combat underquoting, but will it actually protect buyers, or will it just create more problems than it solves? In this episode of Buying Melbourne, Tristan Larkin and James Rankin break down the newly announced reserve price disclosure law and its potential impact on buyers, sellers, and... | 26m 44s | ||||||
| 11/19/25 | Ep. 50 | Underquoting: Why These ‘Tough New Laws' Are Just Window Dressings? | Underquoting has been a frustrating reality of the Melbourne property market for years, but as of November 2025, new regulations are attempting to change the game. The question is: will they actually make a difference, or just add more complexity without solving the problem? In this episode of Buying Melbourne, Tristan Larkin and James Rankin dissect the new underquoting laws that have just come into effect in Victoria. With over 5,000 complaints received by the Underquoting Task Force since ... | 26m 32s | ||||||
| 11/12/25 | Ep. 49 | Is Crime Affecting The Melbourne Property Market? | Crime isn't just making headlines, it's directly changing what buyers want and what they're willing to pay for Melbourne property. If you've been wondering whether safety concerns are affecting the market, the answer is clear: they absolutely are. In this episode of How's the Market, Tristan Larkin and James Rankin break down the real impact of rising crime on Melbourne property values. With a 40% increase in theft and motor vehicle crime across Victoria, buyers are fundamentally reshaping th... | 23m 55s | ||||||
| 11/6/25 | Ep. 48 | Two-Speed Melbourne Property Market and Block Review | Melbourne’s property market is moving in two very different directions, and understanding this split is essential if you are buying, selling, or following the drama from The Block. In this episode of How’s The Market, James Rankin explains what is happening across Melbourne’s inner-east and Bayside areas and why different buyer groups such as first home buyers, upsizers, downsizers, and investors are all moving at completely different speeds. With mixed auction sentiment, unpredictable biddin... | 19m 21s | ||||||
| 10/29/25 | Ep. 47 | How Long Does It Really Take To Buy Property? | Thinking about buying your first home? The timeline might surprise you. Most first home buyers take 9-12 months from start to settlement, and understanding why can save you time, money, and a lot of frustration. In this episode of How's the Market, James Rankin and Tristan Larkin break down the five critical stages of the property buying journey. With Melbourne's clearance rates sitting at 56.8% (up 15-20% from last year's October figures), understanding the buying process has never been more... | 27m 35s | ||||||
| 10/22/25 | Ep. 46 | Why December Is A Goldmine For Buyers? | December isn't just about Christmas shopping, it might be the best time of year to buy property in Melbourne. If you've been waiting for the perfect moment to secure a deal, this could be it. In this episode of How's the Market, Tristan Larkin breaks down why December creates unique opportunities for savvy buyers. With auction clearance rates at 58.3% in Melbourne and just 45% in premium suburbs above $1.5m, the market is showing clear signs of buyer leverage heading into the holiday season. ... | 21m 30s | ||||||
