Sydney's Property Market 2026 – PLUS Data-Backed Suburbs Set to Outperform

Sydney’s property market is entering a **pivotal transition phase**. After years of price volatility, tightening policy, and uneven performance across suburbs, **2026 is shaping up as a defining year** for property investors, renovators, and developers who understand **where demand is strengthening — and where supply remains constrained**. The question is simple: **Will you position early — or be priced out later?** **Melbourne Developer-Renovator Network Meetup** **Wednesday 18 February 2026** **Club Parramatta** 2 Macquarie Street, Parramatta For our first Sydney meetup of 2026, we’re bringing in one of Australia’s most respected **independent property market analysts** to deliver a **clear, data-driven outlook** on what’s really ahead for Melbourne property. **Featured Speaker: Brendan Kelly** **CEO, Property Predictions** **Director, Results Mentoring** Brendan will break down: • What the Sydney market is actually doing right now (beyond the headlines) • The key economic, policy, and supply-demand forces shaping **2026 outcomes** • Which locations are positioned to **outperform — and which to avoid** • How different strategies (buy-and-hold, renovation, development) are likely to perform in the next cycle **Exclusive Bonus (Attendees Only)** Brendan will also reveal **two NSW suburbs** he expects to **outperform the broader market in 2026** — areas that: • Are still under the radar • Are backed by real data (not hype) • Most investors haven’t moved on… yet ⚠️ These suburbs will **not be shared publicly**. **Secure Your Seat (FREE) – In-person or Zoom** This session will fill quickly – especially with forward-looking market insights involved. If you can’t attend in person, you can still join us on Zoom. **[RSVP now (free)](https://events.resultsmentoring.com/meetup-nsw.html?utm_source=meetup&utm_campaign=drn)** Book your spot to stay ahead of Sydney’s next property phase and avoid costly timing mistakes. **FAQ's** **-> Can I bring someone else along?** Yes, you are welcome to bring anyone who is interested in property investing, renovating, developing - it's all about learning and networking with like-minded investors. Please ask them to RSVP so that we know how many people are coming. **-> What are you selling?** Nothing, these meetups are all about learning and networking with like-minded people. **-> What are my Parking options?** There is plenty of parking in the street. We look forward to seeing you there. Best regards, – Grant **P.S.** If you’re investing in NSW in 2026, this session could save you years of trial-and-error by getting your timing and location right upfront.

Should Billionaires Exist? The Case Against Extreme Wealth

Is it possible to be too rich? We often celebrate the super-rich as great innovators and heroes of industry — but what if their very existence is making the world less fair and less free? This March, the Big Ideas Book Club takes on a deliberately provocative claim: that billionaires shouldn't exist. It's a radical idea, but one worth examining carefully. The book we'll be discussing argues that this claim isn't driven by envy, but by evidence that extreme wealth undermines democracy, accelerates climate breakdown, rests far more on luck than merit, and diverts resources desperately needed to meet urgent collective challenges. Even if you instinctively disagree, the case is serious, evidence-based, and challenges common assumptions. Join us for a thoughtful, open discussion about wealth, power, and where we might draw the line — and if any billionaires come along, please feel free to buy a round of drinks for the group! **Book: *Limitarianism – The Case Against Extreme Wealth* (2024) by Ingrid Robeyns** In this month's book, Ingrid Robeyns, a professor of political philosophy and ethics at Utrecht University, builds a case that's both philosophically rigorous and grounded in real-world evidence. She examines how massive fortunes are accumulated—often through inheritance, luck, and public infrastructure rather than individual merit alone—and traces the consequences of that concentration through democratic institutions, climate policy, and social cohesion. Robeyns doesn't just critique; she proposes concrete alternatives, including what a "riches line" (the upper limit on personal wealth) might look like and how such a system could work in practice. Whether you're curious about the ethics of billionaire philanthropy, sceptical about wealth taxes, or wondering how extreme inequality affects everyone (including the super-rich themselves), this book offers a framework for thinking through questions that usually go unexamined. It's written for general readers, not academics, making complex ideas accessible without dumbing them down. As always, we strongly encourage you to read the book before attending. Having read it will enrich both your experience and our collective discussion. We’ve also put links below to further resources on the topic. So join us for a drink (and optional meal) at 6:30pm on Monday, 2nd March, on the 2nd floor of the Keg & Brew Hotel in Surrey Hills (i.e. up two flights of stairs). The venue is conveniently located near Central Station and the Light Rail. We look forward to seeing you there! P.S. Please adjust your RSVP if you have indicated that you will come but are no longer able to do so. This is courteous to others, especially if there is a waitlist. P.P.S. Please adjust your email notification settings (particularly the 'Event updates from organizers' in the Big Ideas Book Club settings). This is useful for receiving any final details or late changes to the event. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- These are just optional links to consider.
