Five rate rises. A $31.5bn federal budget deficit. And business groups estimating 70% of inflation is homegrown.
Are Australian mortgage holders being asked to carry too much of the burden?

When it comes to rental notice periods, timing matters. Whether it’s an inspection or ending a tenancy, NSW rental laws set out specific notice requirements. Getting the details right helps avoid confusion and unnecessary disputes.

Our property management team keeps across the rules, so landlords don't have to navigate the fine print alone.

Sydney property is changing fast, and this week's numbers raise some serious questions.

Five interest-rate rises. A changing inflation picture. Major revisions to bank forecasts. And a Sydney auction market under enormous pressure.

In this week's The Word, Matt Hayson examines what's happening, who's carrying the burden and what it means as we enter November's final selling window.

What do you think happens to Sydney property prices in 2027?

The rent-to-income ratio helps assess rental affordability, with 30% often used as a general benchmark. But there’s more to the picture than one percentage.

Our property management team looks beyond the numbers to help landlords make informed leasing decisions.

Six-metre ceilings, sculptural arches and a bold architectural vision. Hunter House makes an unforgettable statement at the gateway to Annandale village. Drawing inspiration from the Gothic grandeur of neighbouring Hunter Baillie Memorial Church, this extraordinary residence by TZG Architects and Studio Bide is a striking expression of contemporary design.

Inside, walnut joinery, Venetian plaster and richly veined marble bring warmth and texture to the expansive interiors. A monolithic 4m marble island anchors the living space, while a glass-walled, mosaic-tiled pool casts shifting reflections across the home. A remarkable balance of architectural drama and everyday comfort, just moments from village life.

A nightmare on auction street?
Sydney's spring auction market has just delivered some extraordinary results.
Meanwhile, John McGrath suggests we're approaching the bottom of this property correction.
But there's a much bigger question here.
What does that bottom actually look like?
In this week's The Word, Matt Hayson unpack the headlines, challenge the forecasts and explain why November could be one of the most interesting buying windows of this cycle.
Plenty to discuss this week.

Is Sydney's property market approaching the bottom, or could this c...

A little colour, a little courage and a whole lot of personality. This newly built Dulwich Hill home takes a playful approach to contemporary architecture, layering engineered oak, tumbled marble and richly veined quartzite to create interiors that feel warm, expressive and entirely individual.

At the heart of the home, a sculptural 3m Jade Fusion stone island sets the scene for long lunches and lively gatherings. Beyond, a skylit terrace overlooks the landscaped garden and mineral pool, while a vibrant, self-contained two-storey studio offers a colourful retreat of its own.

With Cooks River parklands at the end of the street and Dulwich Hill village within walking distance, this is family living with a refreshing sense of freedom.

Is Sydney's property market cooked for 2026?

Our spring market is changing rapidly, and the contrast with this time last year is remarkable.
But while the headlines are confronting, there's another side to this market that deserves attention.
Matt explores the latest numbers, the standoff between buyers and sellers, and whether waiting until 2027 really changes anything.
