Property investing comes down to two decisions: where you buy, and when. Since October 2025 we have secured 101 investment properties for clients across the country. Below is every one, the markets we chose, the price we paid against the market, and the equity already sitting beneath them.
Every property below started the same way, with data. We screen the whole country, find markets early in their growth run, then negotiate an entry below what the local market is paying. Three disciplines do the heavy lifting.
Where capital is actually flowing - the data economists and institutional investors use. It is how we called Darwin in 2024 and Hobart in 2025, before the market moved.
Which cities are benefiting from fiscal expansion, which are tightening before the headlines. We find the growth corridors before they hit suburb data.
Where every other agent starts. We start here third - supply and demand, owner-occupier ratios, price-to-income, zoning risk.
The last piece, not the first. Your suburb and location do 80 to 90% of the heavy lifting for your portfolio.
If it does not fit your life, it does not get presented to you. Every call maps back to where you are headed.
Reading capital flows first means buying into the right market while it is still cheap. A few we moved on early:
We were buying in specific, undervalued Melbourne corridors while sentiment was still negative - well ahead of the turn.
Backed on fundamentals while most of the market ignored it. It has since been one of the strongest performers in the country.
Identified early in its cycle, before the broader market started to move.
The full structural case in our own words - the supply collapse, the vacancy squeeze, and where the opportunity sits right now.
The price you pay against the market is the difference between starting ahead and starting behind. Here is the price Alaya secured against what each suburb was actually paying at the time.
One fee puts the entire Alaya machine to work for you - the macro-to-micro research framework, a team negotiating and running due diligence on the ground every day, and access to deals most buyers never see. And even if the market only does a flat 5% after year one, the trajectory keeps compounding long past the fee, while you have avoided buying a dud in a dud location.
~16% sounds insane. It isn't. People who bought into markets like Perth early last cycle saw more than that, year after year, the difference was timing. We only apply it for the first 3 years while the market we picked is running. After that we drop to 5%, a third of the rate and below the long-run Australian average, just to stay conservative. This isn't a forecast. It's a picture of what buying early, and stacking, can do over 20 years. It is also how 1 in 4 of our investors come back for their second within 6 months - the equity from the first is what makes the next one possible.
Illustrative only. Based on an average property of $651,738 growing at ~16% per year for the first 3 years (Alaya's annualised average across the 85 houses we have settled), then a deliberately conservative 5% per year thereafter, with one property added each year. Growth on value only. Not a forecast or a guarantee of future returns.

For 15 years, Melbourne apartments were a poor investment - too many built, prices stalled. That reason has now gone. What has replaced it is one of the strongest structural setups Australia has seen in a generation.
What the big institutions now forecast for apartments: KPMG +7.3% in 2026 · CBRE prices +28% and rents +27% to 2030 · Oxford Economics +18.6% to mid-2027.
Most of the people we help are not seasoned investors. They are first-timers, young couples, professionals - each with a goal and a budget.
The numbers are only half the story. Across all our Google reviews, the same themes come up again and again - and they map straight onto the things that go wrong everywhere else in this industry.
Many buyer's agencies take 6 months or more to secure a property. Alaya averages 3 to 4 weeks, and some are secured in under 2, so your money starts compounding sooner.
In hot markets, the best stock never hits the open market. We invest over $5,000 a month sending the team around the country to meet agents in person, so we get the first call.
This is a team sport. We treat agents and partners straight, never grandstand and never push a hard sell, which is exactly why doors keep opening for our clients.
Too much of this industry runs on hunches. Every Alaya purchase is structured, analytical and data-driven from day one, which is how we buy early and buy well.
Filter by state, sort by what matters to you, or search a suburb. Every figure is built from the price Alaya paid, the settlement date, and current market data for that exact property and suburb.
Clear and direct, so every number on this page stands up.
