When the team at Lendi Group shared with me their vision to transform the way Australians search for property, I knew immediately this wasn’t just another tech integration – it was a genuine opportunity to reimagine how property data could empower people.
Most of you will already know that at REIP, we’re on a mission to support agents and agencies by connecting them to real, scalable opportunities – and this partnership does exactly that. By feeding live listings into Aussie’s rapidly growing property search platform, we’re ensuring our members’ listings are seen by serious, finance-ready buyers.
No vendor-paid advertising. No extra fees. Just real visibility, in front of people who are actively moving through the property journey.
But this initiative isn’t about replacing the traditional agent-buyer relationship – it’s about enhancing it. By collaborating with Lendi, we’re giving agents a new channel to showcase listings while giving consumers access to richer, more relevant data at the start of their property journey.
What excites me most is the bigger picture. This is about creating a smarter, more connected ecosystem – where brokers, agents, technology, and data work together to serve the customer better. It’s about putting industry-owned data to work in ways that genuinely benefit both professionals and the people they serve.
And the best part? This is just the beginning. You can read the press coverage here.
Our latest Behind the Numbers podcast reveals that July’s data shows another month of price growth – but the real story lies beneath the headlines.
- Fear is back: Six months of national growth and anticipated rate cuts are fuelling buyer FOMO.
- Patchwork market:
- Perth, Adelaide & Brisbane are leading the market with strong growth
- Darwin is surprising frontrunner with 2.2% in July with 6.4% rental yields
- Melbourne & Hobart are moving at a slower pace
- Perth & Adelaide have constrained supply, pushing prices up
- Sydney & Melbourne have plenty of stock, but sales are slow
- Investors split: Some are leaving (especially in Victoria), while out-of-state buyers quietly circle Melbourne for value.
- Rental pressures remain: Vacancy rates are just 1.7%, sparking creative solutions like co-living.
- Off-market listings are on the rise, but they are often overpriced or hard-to-sell
The market is as much emotional as economic – fear, caution, and ambition are all in play. Leaders who can read both the numbers and the story behind them will guide clients with confidence.

In our latest Future Fit Spotlight Series, I sat down with Nik Robinson, founder of Good Citizens, the brand turning recycled plastic bottles into beautifully designed sunglasses.
Nik shares why curiosity, courage, and collaboration are essential for tomorrow’s leaders, how working with his young sons reshaped his leadership, and why profit and purpose can (and must) coexist.
If you care about building organisations that matter and last, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
Listen to the podcast here.
The property market, like leadership, is evolving faster than ever. AI is creating new opportunities, the data is telling deeper stories, and purpose-driven leadership is reshaping how we build businesses that last.
My challenge for you this month: stay curious, stay informed, and don’t be afraid to lead differently.
Until next time,
Stay connected.
