Real estate agent David Hernyk spoke at his Launceston office on March 13, 2026 about an increase in investor interest in regional Australia and what that means for those looking to get their foot in the door.

00:00We had a small correction after COVID, I guess, where there was a mass exodus from the cities and
00:06people wanted to move out a little bit and were prepared to travel to do so. And then our markets
00:13were flatlined a little bit. Since then, we've seen the reintroduction of those investors into
00:19our market. I mean, our days on market are as low as they've been in three years. And that increased
00:27pressure has put prices, you know, has increased prices. I think over the last four years, according
00:36to prop track data that we look at, we've seen around about $100,000 median price growth just
00:42in the Launceston market alone. We don't see anything changing in our marketplace at the
00:49moment. That sustained growth trajectory looks good. And certainly, The Economist reports the
00:55buyers agents we're dealing with, the people that do the research are suggesting that we
01:01should see that sustained growth for at least the next, you know, 12 to 18 months. Now, I
01:07don't have a crystal ball, but I think the message is clear. If you're looking to buy by now, with
01:14obviously various government grants available as well, it really increases affordability.
01:20First homeowners grants, first home builders grants, that sort of thing is saving you some
01:28in costs. And you should then also see that uptake over the next 12 to 18 months to two years.
