## Resource

Tim Lawless is Australia's most closely watched property data analyst — and right now, the market is moving faster than anyone predicted. As head of research at Cotality (formerly CoreLogic), Lawless sits at the centre of every major shift in Australian housing. In this conversation, he and Mark Bouris go deep on what the federal budget has done to investor confidence, why the numbers are deteriorating faster than the data can capture, and what the property market realistically looks like from here. Lawless also walks through the economics of holding an investment property in 2026, city by city, with unusual candour about where the opportunities may eventually re-emerge.  Subscribe to the Mentored newsletter here: https://the-mentored-platform-pty-ltd.myklpages.com/l/WWJGc5   Join my exclusive Mentored+ community: https://mentored.com.au/become-a-member/   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
