Sydney. Melbourne. Brisbane.
But here’s the thing: the data is quietly laughing at restricting our investing to just these major cities.
According to the reports from CBA and RAI, migration from capital cities to the regions is still booming.
How much?
Migration from capital cities to regional Australia increased 10.5% in the March 2025 quarter alone.
That’s 20.5% higher than pre-COVID averages — this is not a fadeout; it’s the new norm.
And it’s not just retirees chasing a slower pace.
Young professionals, families, investors — people are swapping congestion and million-dollar mortgages for affordability, space and growth.
Where Are They Going?
Sydney alone accounts for 64% of the net outflow from capitals.
Melbourne accounts for 38% (yes, they add to more than 100% due to net loss distribution).
Together, regional NSW and VIC capture nearly 75% of total net inflows.
This isn’t just a trend.
It’s a structural shift.
If your investment strategy is still 100% capital-city focused, it’s worth asking:
Are you investing based on habit — or based on what’s actually happening?
Because regional markets are offering:
The best opportunities are no longer just in inner-city corridors with rail upgrades and rezoning hype.
They're in places like Latrobe, Maitland, Moorabool and Denmark (WA, not Europe).
If you're serious about long-term returns, it's time to think beyond the big smoke.
Where are you looking next?
When you hear the term “data-led buyer’s agency,” what comes to mind?
To me it sometimes feels like a buzzword that some agencies through around , but only a few can explain.
If you're looking to invest in property — especially across state lines — the difference between a traditional buyer’s agent and a data-driven one can mean thousands (even hundreds of thousands) of dollars to your future portfolio.
So what does “data-led” actually mean?
Let’s break it down with— no jargon, no hype.
1. Not Just because I heard about the suburb in the news— It’s About the Fundamentals, the things that really drive prices in an area
Most buyer’s agents lean heavily on experience, relationships, and gut feel.
That’s not a bad thing. In fact, on-ground experience matters.
But in a data-led agency like futurx, that instinct is backed (and often corrected) by hard data — not just speculation.
We ask:
We track trends months before they make the headlines.
And instead of relying on what area is the flavour of the season, we rely on:
Every Suburb Is Scored — Not Just “Looked At”
You won’t hear us say “we like this suburb” unless we’ve modelled it across 30+ metrics.
We score suburbs using:
This isn’t guesswork. It’s modelling.
And no, we don’t buy in just one state. That’s not diversification — it’s exposure.
We Invest Like a Portfolio Manager, Not a Property Spruiker
Most investors start with a single question:
“Can I afford it?”
We help them ask better questions:
Data-led investing means thinking like a strategist, not a speculator.
We Don’t just go with “Where You Want to Buy” — We Show You Where You Should
This is a hard one for some people.
You might love Sydney. You might live in Canberra. But that doesn’t mean your next investment belongs there.
If the numbers don’t stack up — we say it straight.
That’s the job of a data-led buyer’s agency:
To take emotion out of the decision and replace it with insight.
Our Clients Aren’t Buying a Property — They’re Building a Plan
A property is just the start.
What makes our clients successful isn’t the first deal — it’s what that deal unlocks:
The right property lets you buy the next one faster.
That’s what a data-led buyer’s agency is really aiming for: momentum.
What It Means for You
If you’re a busy professional, or someone who wants to build wealth without guesswork — working with a data-driven buyer’s agent can:
At Futurx, we don’t just find properties.
We find unfair advantages.
And we use data to do it — relentlessly.
