Q: Where is the prestige market heading?
A: North. The prestige market in Australia is showing resilience and strength, with continued demand driven by local high-net-worth buyers and offshore interest, particularly in Sydney, Melbourne and South East Queensland.
Q: What advice would you give to young people looking to buy in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane?
A: If you’re a young buyer looking in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane, start with clear goals and act early. In Sydney, target middle-ring suburbs with growth potential. In Melbourne, focus on well-connected areas with strong lifestyle appeal. Brisbane still offers value – look near the CBD ahead of the 2032 Olympics. Speak with a broker early, explore off-market options, and remember, getting in sooner builds long-term equity.
Q: What’s your number one tip for someone selling their property?
A: Love and learn the property you’re selling.
Q: What do you think buyers are looking for in new apartment developments?
A: Top-floor exclusivity, private lift access and separation from other residences are key. Buyers want to feel like they’re in a private home in the sky.
