The big debate in 2026:

Should you invest in Perth or Melbourne?

Both markets present opportunity but strategy determines outcome.

For investors focused on long-term appreciation, Melbourne remains attractive.

 

Finance Strategy Matters More Than Location

The real difference-maker?

Loan structure.

  • Interest-only vs principal & interest

  • Cross-collateralisation risks

  • Equity release strategy

  • Serviceability planning
