Data, not opinions
Every location earns its spot on inventory, vacancy, yield, days on market and 10 year growth. Not on who shouts loudest online.
We screened the whole country
From Melbourne to Darwin, every state and territory was run through the same filter. Only 10 made the cut for 2026.
The work most investors skip
Months of research compressed into one report, so you do not lose a year, and a small fortune, backing the wrong postcode.
Independent and buyer-side
Dreamvest works only for the buyer. We have no stock to offload and no developer paying us a kickback to point you their way.
Figures from Dreamvest's 2026 growth research. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
Same money. Same year. Hundreds of thousands apart.
Two investors, same deposit, same month. One buys where prices are climbing and stock is drying up. The other buys somewhere that just looks fine. A few years on, one has built real wealth and the other has a mortgage to show for it. The only difference was where they bought.

The 6 signals every location had to clear.
We do not pick suburbs on a gut feeling or because they are in the news. Each location on the list had to stack up across the same 6 numbers. When several of these line up at once, growth tends to follow.
Months of stock
When inventory dries up, buyers compete and prices follow. We track how fast stock is shrinking in every market on the list.
Vacancy rate
Under 1 percent means landlords hold the cards and rents climb. Several locations on the list sit well below that.
Rental yield
Strong yield means the property helps pay for itself. Some of these markets out-yield the capital city next door.
Days on market
How fast homes sell shows real buyer urgency. In one location, homes are changing hands in about 15 days.
10 year growth headroom
Markets that have lagged the long-term average have the most room left to run. We look for catch-up potential, not yesterday's hot suburb.
Jobs and affordability
A strong local economy and prices people can still afford are what keep growth going. We screen for both.
If you are buying for growth, this report is for you.
Most of the people who ask for this list fall into one of three groups. The brief might differ. The way we read the data does not.
First-time investors
You want your first purchase to count, not become a cautionary tale you tell at dinner parties. The report shows you where the data points before you commit a cent.
- ✓Growth and yield research done for you
- ✓A shortlist matched to your budget
- ✓Plain-English reasons, no jargon
Portfolio builders
You already own, and your next purchase has to actually perform. This list is built for growth and yield, not for the postcodes you happen to already know.
- ✓Markets mapped to your strategy
- ✓Interstate and off-market options
- ✓Forecasts before you commit
Interstate and remote buyers
You are happy to buy where the numbers are best, even if it is a state away and you cannot inspect it yourself. That is exactly how we think and how we buy.
- ✓Borderless suburb selection
- ✓Remote inspections and reports
- ✓Negotiation handled for you
Meet Lahari Movva
I came to Australia chasing a better life for my family, like a lot of people reading this. I know how hard it is to get ahead, because I have lived it. That is why I am so attached to this work.
Property gave my family security, options and freedom that a payslip never could. I invest in it myself, including interstate, so when I talk about a growth location it is not theory. This report is the same research I run before I buy, given to you for free.
- Active investor with her own interstate portfolio, including in Tasmania
- Completed a full property investment education programme
- Independent buyer's advocate who works only for the buyer
- Borderless, data-driven approach to picking locations
Hear how I think before you read the report.
Short, straight-talking videos on how to buy the right property, not just any property.
Buying the right property is what makes the difference
The mistakes first-time investors keep making
What our clients say.
"I've dealt with a few agents over the years, but Lahari and her team stood out because she thinks like an investor, not just a salesperson. She helped us identify a high-growth property with strong rental returns and negotiated an excellent outcome off-market. Her research, strategy, and ability to spot opportunities gave us a huge advantage in a competitive market."
"Buying our first home felt overwhelming until we started working with Lahari and her team. They guided us through the entire process, helped us choose the right Melbourne suburbs for our budget and lifestyle, and found a property that perfectly matched our brief. Their support, patience and market knowledge made us feel confident every step of the way."
"As interstate buyers, we relied heavily on Lahari and her team, and they exceeded every expectation. They carefully shortlisted the right suburbs and properties based on our needs, handled the process professionally, and made everything feel stress-free and seamless."
Three steps. No pressure.
Tell us your goal, we send you the report, then Lahari shows you how she would actually buy in the locations that fit you.
Tell us your goal
A couple of quick questions about what you are buying, your budget and your timing, plus where to send the report. It takes about a minute and there is no pressure.
We send you the Top 10 report
The 10 locations we are watching for 2026, with the growth, yield, vacancy and supply numbers behind each one, in plain English.
Lahari helps you act on it
On a free strategy call, Lahari shows you which of the 10 fit your situation and how she would buy there. If it is not the right fit, she will tell you straight.
Fair questions before you opt in.
Why don't you just list the 10 on this page?+
Because a list of names is worth almost nothing without the numbers and the context behind it, and the edge in these markets disappears the second it is plastered across a public ad. Tell us your goal and we send you the full report, plus how we would approach the ones that actually fit you.
Is the report really free?+
Yes. No cost and no obligation. We would rather earn your trust with research you can genuinely use than chase you for a sale. If you decide you want help buying afterwards, that is your call.
Where did the data come from?+
From Dreamvest's own market research: inventory, vacancy, rental yield, days on market and long-term growth for markets across the country. As with any investment, past growth is not a guarantee of future results, which is exactly why we forecast the likely outcome before you buy.
These are mostly regional and interstate. Can you help me buy there?+
Yes. Borderless investing is most of what we do. We help investors buy in high-growth markets they cannot easily research or inspect on their own, and we handle the process remotely, from shortlist to settlement.
What happens after I opt in?+
We send you the report, then Lahari reaches out to book your free strategy call and map the list to your situation. From there it is your decision, with no pressure either way.
Tell us your goal, and we'll send you the 10.

P.S. A year from now you will either be holding a property in one of these locations, or watching the numbers move without you. The report costs you nothing but a minute. The wrong postcode could cost you a lot more.
