State of the Australian Real Estate Market 2026

If you want to know what real estate businesses are really dealing with right now, this report is a good place to start.

We surveyed sales agents, property managers and principals across Australia to understand what’s working, what’s getting harder, and where things feel different compared to a year ago. Not predictions. Not commentary. Just what’s showing up in day-to-day work.

The 2026 report pulls together those responses to highlight common patterns across the industry. Where follow-up breaks down. Where data helps, and where it doesn’t. Where capacity feels tight. And what agencies are starting to pressure-test as they plan for the year ahead.

Think of it as a check-in with the industry. Practical, grounded, and written for people who are in it every day, not sitting on the sidelines.
