Ep 367: The New NOT list - Don't Buy Here- With Dawn Fouhy Steve Ash Simon Loo Sam Gordon Gilbert Melgar & Rob Flux

In a recent discussion among Australian property investors, the focus centers on emerging and declining markets as they prepare for the future. The panel evaluates various suburbs, highlighting those to avoid and those with potential for growth as they move toward 2027.

Darwin, particularly suburbs like Karama, garners criticism for its stagnant population growth and reliance on government and resource projects. Investors express concerns about the lack of owner-occupiers and the increasing number of properties on the market, suggesting a potential race to the bottom in property values. The consensus among several investors is that Darwin's market is overly speculative and may not be a sound long-term investment.

Conversely, Sunshine North in Melbourne is identified as an area with significant growth potential. Investors argue that despite its current low yields, the suburb is well-positioned for future appreciation due to its proximity to the city and ongoing infrastructure developments. The panel emphasizes the importance of understanding the local market dynamics, suggesting that while Sunshine North may not shine brightly now, it holds promise for the future.

As the discussion wraps up, investors express optimism about Western Sydney, particularly in suburbs like Granville and Auburn, where affordable housing options are becoming increasingly attractive to first-time buyers and migrants. The sentiment is that these areas could see a resurgence as demand rises, making them worthy of attention in the coming years.

Six of Australia's sharpest property investors. A list of 150+ suburbs the data says to avoid. And no two of them see it the same way.

Sam Gordon, Dawn Fouhy, Simon Loo, Steve Ash, Rob Flux, and Gilbert Melgar tear apart the 2026 Not List. Each panellist picks the one area they'd steer clear of at all costs, the pick they believe doesn't deserve to be on the list, and their top location heading into 2027. It's a rare, unfiltered look at how differently successful investors read the same numbers, and why following data without context can cost you.
