About this event
Australia’s property market is shifting — and Melbourne is tipped to lead the next wave of growth. After several years of lagging behind, Melbourne is now firmly in recovery. Prices are still below their previous highs, the gap to Sydney sits at nearly $500,000, and history shows that gap doesn’t last.
With record migration, tight supply, and major infrastructure investment, Melbourne has the strongest fundamentals of any capital city heading into 2026. But not all suburbs will perform equally. The difference between the best- and worst-performing areas is widening. Investors who choose strategically are positioned to ride the cycle early and maximise returns.
At Inside Melbourne: Strategies for the Next Property Wave, you’ll hear directly from Tim Graham of Hotspotting, Australia’s leading property research platform, alongside Shane Robson of International 10 Consulting and Alexandra Bougouin from R.Corporation, one of Melbourne's leading developers. Together, they’ll break down:
▶︎ Property Clock and where Melbourne sits right now
▶︎ The exact developments and suburbs primed for the strongest growth
▶︎ How migration, infrastructure, and undersupply are fuelling the next cycle
This is a one-off, live event happening on the Gold Coast, Friday 28th October at The Islander, Surfers Paradise. Seats are extremely limited and will sell out fast. If you want the inside track on Melbourne’s next property wave, reserve your spot today.
