The Property Couch
Australia’s top property podcast for everyday investors who want real results, not hype.
Originally shaped by long-time hosts Ben Kingsley and Bryce Holdaway, The Property Couch has evolved into a new chapter led by Ben alongside the expanded Couch Crew. The foundations remain the same: practical frameworks, clear thinking, and real stories that help Australians make smarter decisions.
Backed by data, banter, and proudly anti-spruiker since 2015!

Folks, this could be shaping up to be the biggest risk of 2026...
Yep. We’re back with one of our MOST popular episodes of the year, our 2026 Property Market Outlook!
The economy has run hotter than the RBA expected, but higher rates and rising living costs are starting to bite. At the same time, tight supply, strong population growth and government incentives (like the 5% deposit scheme) are continuing to support demand.
So which force wins?
In this deep-dive outlook episode, Ben takes the reins to break down the macro forces shaping the year and what it all means for you.
Then it’s state by state:
- Why Perth’s supply imbalance still underpins growth
- Why Brisbane and Adelaide are more sensitive to investor activity
- Why Darwin is booming...but timing matters
- Why Canberra remains structurally challenging
- Why Hobart runs steady, but population is constrained
- And why Melbourne may be the counter-cyclical opportunity for long-term investors
Understand the signal and ignore the noise. Tune in now!
