ANZAC Day Reflections: Built on Service, Driven by Strategy

At Investor Property, ANZAC Day is more than a moment of remembrance; it’s a powerful reminder of where we come from and why we do what we do.

We’re proud to be a veteran-owned business. Our foundation is built on a legacy of service, strategy, and long-term thinking. Our director, Mal Cayley’s background in military intelligence didn’t just influence the culture of our business – it created our approach. With discipline, situational awareness, and strategic foresight ingrained in every decision we make, we’ve crafted a business model focused not just on property but on building long-term security for our clients.

From Battlefield to Boardroom: A Different Kind of Analyst

Unlike traditionally trained property researchers, our methodology is shaped by military intelligence. In that world, the accuracy of a prediction can mean the difference between success and failure, and the quality of a decision relies on evaluating both the source and the information.

This isn’t theory, it’s a skill set honed over 17 years of military service, where Mal Cayley progressed from an infantry soldier to a senior soldier and officer in the Intelligence Corps. His time in the Army embedded the discipline of risk assessment, data analysis, and operational foresight into his DNA. These same principles underpin how we assess markets and model future trends today and have been refined further in the real estate, development and finance industries.

That background has given us a unique framework for analysing the property market. We grade data like intelligence officers, filter out noise, and prioritise signals with long-term impact. The result? A research model with remarkable long-term accuracy.

We’ve been ahead of the market time and time again, including remarkable accuracy in forecasts longer than a decade. Not by chance, but by design. And it’s that same approach we bring to every client and every investment strategy.

The Road Ahead: What We See for 2025–26 and Beyond

As we look forward, to the balance of 2025 and beyond, the property market presents a landscape rich with both challenges and opportunities. Investor Property’s recent analyses highlight several key factors shaping this outlook:​

• Persistent Supply Constraints: Despite various policy initiatives, the fundamental issue of limited housing supply remains unaddressed. Demand continues to outpace supply, particularly in high-growth areas like the Sunshine Coast, leading to sustained upward pressure on property prices. Read more ​
• Interest Rate Trends: Economic indicators suggest a potential easing of interest rates in the near future. Such a shift would enhance borrowing capacity for many buyers, likely intensifying competition in the property market and further driving price growth. ​Read more 
• Infrastructure Developments: Significant infrastructure projects, including the second subsea broadband cable and the promise of new transport links, are set to bolster the region’s appeal. These developments are expected to attract both residents and investors, enhancing the area’s economic vitality and property values. ​Read more 
• Policy Implications: Recent government measures, such as increased First Home Buyer Grants, while well-intentioned, may inadvertently exacerbate demand without addressing supply issues. This dynamic underscores the importance of strategic investment decisions in the current market. ​Read more ​

Longer term, Mal’s strategic view is that the 30 most peaceful years in human history came to an end in 2021. The future is more volatile, globally and locally. All of our key regulatory bodies and the way we manage monetary policy, alongside fiscal policy, have fundamentally changed or were established in this time of great stability and are irrelevant to today’s circumstances, yet have contributed to the housing crisis we have now. The answers at hand, in a time of increasing complexity and disruption, guarantee that the crisis will worsen.

In this evolving environment, informed and strategic property investment is more crucial than ever. Leveraging our unique, intelligence-based research methodology, Investor Property is committed to guiding clients through these complexities to identify and capitalise on emerging opportunities.

For anyone considering their next move in property, now is the time to act with insight, not instinct.
