Share

A negative change to property prices could have a substantial effect on the economy – the wealth effect – and how much consumers will spend. Co-founder and fund manager Paul Miron gleans lessons from 2025’s gold rush in hindsight – and looks at why property investors should heed these rules of investing heading into 2026.

The interview with Ausbiz covers:

  • Will an RBA holding pattern keep the economy stable?
  • Why APRA is telling you not to buy property
  • 2026 property market expectations
