The lowdown
Where the Melbourne market is heading, how to read it, and what to do about it.
You've watched the Melbourne market for years. Make the Switch is one night of straight answers from six people who buy, build, design and manage property every day. Bring your questions.

The opportunities Switch is seeing for buyers right now. Les Smith, Founder and Director, LAS Group. What he looks for before committing to a project, after years of building and developing. Chris Cleaver, OAC Group. What buyers get wrong about being purchase-ready, and how to fix it before you start looking. Nicky Drobis, Architect.
