Where is property going ?

Are property markets starting to crack?

Auction clearance rates have quietly collapsed:

• Sydney: 37.9%

• Melbourne: 43.7%

• Brisbane: 22%

Buyers are cautious.

Sellers are hesitant.

The market is… uncertain.

But here’s what most people are missing 👇

Money doesn’t disappear — it moves.

Right now, smart investors are shifting into cash-flow-positive assets.

Industrial property is leading the charge.

Why?

• Higher yields

• Lower volatility

• Strong demand from small businesses

• Ability to structure smarter (especially in SMSFs)

We’re seeing innovative plays emerge:

Smaller, more flexible industrial units

→ Lower land tax exposure

→ More accessible entry points ($600k–$1m)

→ Up to 80% lending in the right structures

This isn’t speculation.

This is repositioning.

At Ivan Kaye | BSI Finance, we’re helping clients:

• Restructure portfolios

• Unlock equity

• Reposition into income-generating assets

• Navigate lending strategies banks won’t openly explain

The shift has started.

The question is:

👉 Are you positioned for where the market is going… or where it’s been?

Comment “PROPERTY” if you want the current strategy we’re seeing work right now.

Auction slump signals shift as investors pivot to industrial

Auction clearance rates across Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane have fallen to multi-year lows—37.9%, 43.7% and 22% respectively—pointing to weakening momentum in residential markets.

Caution is rising on both sides of the transaction, with buyers and vendors weighing macro uncertainty and potential tax changes.

Capital, however, is not retreating—it’s rotating.

Melbourne-based property strategist Paul Huggins says investor demand is shifting toward positively geared industrial assets, where yield and cash flow are reasserting priority over capital growth.

His Moorabbin development, Keys101, adopts a “store, work and play” model—smaller-format industrial units designed to optimise land use and mitigate land tax exposure.

With price points between $600,000 and $1 million, the product is resonating with SMSF investors, particularly given gearing capacity of up to 80%.

In a notable move, a major bank is underwriting investor loans for the project—lowering entry friction and accelerating uptake.
