The property market in 2026 is showing some interesting shifts, and investors are taking notice. While the market can move quickly, understanding trends and opportunities can help you make informed decisions about your property portfolio.

1. Market Activity is Picking Up
Certain suburbs are experiencing higher activity, with more properties coming to market at competitive prices. Keeping an eye on what’s available can help you identify properties that match your investment criteria.

2. The Importance of Portfolio Health
Even without buying or selling, reviewing how your properties are performing can make a difference. Simple things like ensuring rents are aligned with the current market, or reviewing maintenance schedules, can help maximise tenant satisfaction and occupancy rates.

3. Proactive Property Management Matters
A well-managed property is attractive to tenants and reduces the risk of vacancies or unexpected maintenance issues. Our property management team focuses on keeping tenants happy, leases current, and properties maintained—helping your investments run smoothly.

4. Staying Informed
Following trends, such as shifts in tenant demand or property availability, allows you to understand the market environment. This information supports better decision-making when considering your next steps in property.

At Peter Lees Real Estate, we provide insights and management support to help investors stay on top of market trends and keep their properties performing at their best. While we don’t provide financial advice, we can help you access the information you need to feel confident in your property decisions.
