And yet, here we are \u2013 national home prices finishing the year almost 10 per cent higher, with some capital cities recording extraordinary double-digit growth.  So what really happened?  In today\u2019s episode, we\u2019re stepping away from opinions and into the evidence as Dr Andrew Wilson unpacks his end-of-December House Price Report, and it reveals not just where prices moved in 2025, but why they moved, and what that means as we head into 2026.  We\u2019ll talk about the cities that surged, the markets that quietly turned the corner, why units are suddenly back in favour, and why the next phase of this property cycle is likely to look very different from the last one.  If you want clarity instead of noise, and data instead of doom-and-gloom, this is an episode you\u2019ll want to stay with.
