Welcome to Buying Melbourne, the podcast for anyone serious about property in Melbourne.


Join Tristan and James for no-BS, straight-talking property insights straight from the ground up. No fluff, no jargon, just real conversations with the people who know Melbourne's market inside out.


Whether you're buying your first home, upsizing, investing, or just trying to figure out what's actually happening in Melbourne real estate right now, this is your unfair advantage.


Every episode we cut through the noise with expert guests, local market updates, suburb deep-dives, and the honest advice you won't always hear from your agent.


Melbourne property is complex. We make it simple.
