The Complete Agent - The Podcast For Premium Real Estate Agents 106. Is A Property Crash Coming In 2026?
In this episode of The Complete Agent Podcast, Dave Warburton and James Kendall unpack what they are seeing week to week inside the property market, from standout sales performance to the growing tension around pricing and realism. They explore why activity remains strong in the mid-market “gold dust range,” how communication and questioning shape better outcomes with buyers and sellers, and what agents must do to stay in control during negotiations.
The conversation then turns to the bigger picture. Predictions of a potential 2026 property crash, the role government policy could play in supporting the housing market, and how employment trends may ultimately dictate direction. They also discuss the rapid rise of AI in real estate, separating hype from genuine disruption, and what it could mean for jobs, productivity, and opportunity across the industry.
The central theme is clear. Agents who understand market dynamics, communicate honestly, and adapt early will outperform regardless of headlines.
