As 2025 draws to a close, Australia’s property market is sending some new and important signals.
In this episode of Behind the Numbers, we unpack the December data and the early trends shaping 2026, with a sharp focus on one of the biggest forces in the market right now: listings.
National stock levels remain well below long-term averages, and where listings are tight, prices have continued to hold up. At the same time, we saw the first pockets of negative monthly price movement in key markets, raising questions about whether the market is cooling, pausing, or simply resetting.
Our panel breaks down what the data is telling us about listing volumes, price momentum, metro versus regional performance, auction conditions, and rental trends, and what it all means for buyers, sellers, investors and renters heading into the year ahead.
Clear numbers, practical insights, and a calm look at what to watch next.
