Don't forget to subscribe for weekly shows on Apple, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts. Why avoid regret? Buying a home is a major decision—costly, time-consuming, and with big financial stakes. Before You Buy 1. Hindsight Regret – “Should've bought X” - Many wait for the "perfect" market time, often influenced by media or others. - Identifying the market bottom is nearly impossible—by the time it rises, it's too late. 2. Missing ‘The One' - Regret is worse when it's due to avoidable mistakes. - Be proactive: understand the process, act fast, get expert help. - Be financially and emotionally prepared—sometimes the right place comes early. After You Buy 3. Buyer's Remorse - Wrong purchase for your goals: - Home: May not suit your lifestyle, partner, or needs. - Investment: Cashflow issues, poor rental return, or hard to resell. - Avoid by having a clear strategy and doing proper research. - If it's the wrong buy, selling and moving on may be best. Property issues: - Missed inspections, contract surprises, poor location factors. - Do due diligence and accept some things are outside your control. 4. Overpaying or Underbidding - Appraisals are tough; overpaying can hurt resale if needed soon. - Value is subjective—comps vs personal worth. - Many regret not offering more in hindsight. - Do thorough market analysis and budget smartly. 5. Renovation Regrets - Underestimate time, cost, and effort. - DIY plans often fall short—may lead to discomfort and unmet goals.

In this Australian Property Podcast episode, your hosts Amy Lunardi and Pete Wargent answer your most pressing property questions. Questions Answered: 1. Angus Young I'm looking at buying a townhouse and a lot of them I've been inspecting are brand new – should I bother with a building inspection? Doesn't insurance cover any defects anyway? 2. Kate Bush I almost feel like giving up. I've been trying to buy a home for the last 11 months and feel like I'm getting nowhere. I have a decent budget but now I'm feeling even more disheartened as I've noticed the market has gone up recently and there's even more competition. 3. Igor I wanted to ask why Pete blocked me on Twitter. (Igordownunder username). I don't believe I offended him but apologies if any comment was poorly perceived 4. Marge Simpson What's the risk of my real estate agent acting as a dual agent for me as a seller & then acting for my buyer also? 5. Ben Hi Guys, I am now in a position where I am wanting to get an investment property to start my portfolio, I am wanting to do this to create equity to help buy our forever home as well as creating a future for our family. I am looking at 5-10 year strategy for creating compound growth. I would need to get a mortgage if we were to do this as a buy to let. I also have the opportunity to co invest with my partners mum who wants to do something with her cash. This would mean the ability not to have to get a mortgage. My concern is that I would be losing out on the compound growth in the years to come as she would obviously need a return too.

In this Australian Property Podcast episode, Chris and Amy teach you how to win at auction. Basically, you just need to have an unlimited budget (just joking). Ultimately, the buyer with the most money often wins, but not always. They explore: The rules around auctions Set rules (unlike private sales) No cooling off (unless bought prior) Reserve price Pass ins Transparent They don't always go ‘crazy' Quote ranges Auctions are about price, terms are prior agreed Auction tips Biggest tip: budget setting prior Do all due diligence asap beforehand Bidding with confidence Don't overthink strategy Being the first bidder Bidding increments Have a plan for a pass in situation Buying prior to auction Strategic: moving swiftly and taking others by surprise, property likely towards or over top of budget so nothing to lose (put you out of misery sooner!), if you have 2 properties and your preferred one goes to auction second etc Can be tricky: risk to vendor/agent, cooling off Buy prior price versus sell at auction price Similar to private sale episode advice: Understand buy prior price, sometimes space to negotiate Understand the process Only go down this path if you're serious Rask Resources Pete's Buyers Agency: https://www.allenwargent.com.au Alcove mortgage broking: https://www.raskmedia.com.au/services/mortgage-broking Amy Lunardi Buyers Agency (Melbourne) www.amylunardi.com.au All services: https://bit.ly/R-services Financial Planning: https://bit.ly/R-plan Invest with us: https://bit.ly/R-invest Access Show Notes: https://bit.ly/R-notes Ask a question: https://bit.ly/R-quest DISCLAIMER: This podcast contains general financial information only.

In this episode of the Australian Property Podcast, Amy and Chris delve into the complexities of private sales and how to make offers Negotiation Dynamics: Expect ongoing back-and-forth negotiations, where buyers may present their highest and best offers. This can take place through Zoom meetings or in boardroom auctions rather than through public advertising. Conditional Offers: Conditional offers can complicate negotiations, resulting in a more chaotic process. Simpler offers tend to make for smoother transactions. Vendor's Decision-Making: A streamlined process allows the vendor to assess offers based on terms, not just price, leading to less transparency for buyers. The Two-Step Process Making an Acceptable Offer: The first step is to present an offer that meets the vendor's expectations. Dealing with Competition: Buyers may need to navigate competing offers once an acceptable one is in place. Essential Questions to Ask Timeframes and Process: When is the property expected to be sold? Is there a set date? If another acceptable offer arises, how long will other buyers have to respond? What is the defined sale process? Will there be offer disclosures? How will negotiations unfold? How are varying terms handled among offers? What is the vendor's ideal settlement timeframe? Have there been any previous offers, and if so, what were their terms? What is the preferred method for submitting offers (contract, email, letter of offer)? Hot tips Ask Questions: Ensure you understand the exact process by asking thorough questions. Recap Communication: It's acceptable to follow up with an email or text to recap the discussed process, as this will influence your purchasing strategy. Challenges: The most significant hurdles arise when the seller is uncertain about their sales process. Tune in to learn more about navigating private sales and how to position yourself effectively in a competitive market!

Topics covered today: This episode covers the step by step process AFTER you've gone through the finance process, which we covered a few episodes ago with Owen & Chris, however some of these steps can be done before you get your finance sorted Research – last week's episode covers this but is an essential step which a lot of people skim over, especially home buyers. Do recommend doing this before you get pre-approval, never too early, but regardless of when you do it the key things you're ideally wanting to understand are: What's happening in the market – broader and locally, why? Prices influence how quickly you have to move on offers, factoring into your appraisal & budget. Supply & scarcity Research to create your PROPERTY BRIEF: your shopping list / workout plan -> ESSENTIAL STEP to moving forward Educate yourself Learning about the fundamentals of property: settlement, conditional offers, building inspections, state specific rules Attending inspections & auctions, familiarising yourself with properties, meeting agents, starting to understand the lingo Spending more time exploring the neighbourhoods Potentially refining/changing your brief Search phase: once pre-approved and emotionally ready, actively searching Be proactive with online searches Off markets & agent communication Prioritising Saturdays and seeing properties asap Due diligence: once you've found a suitable property / green light Free and straight away: appraisal, local area check, council call, planning checks, landchecker, body corporate/owners corporation, old photos, agent info/notes, inclusions, speak to broker Contract review- when and why Building inspection & any other trade quotes – when and why Important to still keep searching throughout for backup plans. Sometimes 2 options need to strategise re timing Making an offer OR bidding at auction Making an offer: how? Ask agent their process and timeframes. Conditional versus unconditional, price versus terms. Deposit Auctions and buying prior Post sale – documentation, finalise loan, final inspection, insurances, utilities Rask Resources Pete's Buyers Agency: https://www.allenwargent.com.au Alcove mortgage broking: https://www.raskmedia.com.au/services/mortgage-broking Amy Lunardi Buyers Agency (Melbourne) www.amylunardi.com.au All services: https://bit.ly/R-services Financial Planning: https://bit.ly/R-plan Invest with us: https://bit.ly/R-invest Access Show Notes: https://bit.ly/R-notes Ask a question: https://bit.ly/R-quest DISCLAIMER: This podcast contains general financial information only.

Researching property is more than just browsing listings—it's about understanding the broader market, the suburb, and the specific property you're considering. In this episode of The Australian Property Podcast, Owen and Amy break it down into three key categories to help you make informed decisions. 1. The Broader Property Market Understanding macro trends: capital growth, dwelling types, market strength, and demographics. Why this matters for home buyers and investors. Key resources: ABS, CoreLogic, Macrobusiness, Profile.id, and financial news. Limitations: historical data lag, misleading statistics and market variability. 2. Researching a Suburb Prices and growth can vary by street, amenities, and dwelling type. Key factors: shops, cafés, schools, transport, demographics, and rental demand. How to research: online tools (REA, Domain, Google Maps), spending time in the area, speaking to locals and agents. 3. Researching a Property Due diligence: Identifying red flags and understanding the true value. Free checks: Property alignment with your brief, past sales, zoning, overlays, developments, title details, and speaking to your broker. Next steps: Building inspections, contract reviews, and trade quotes for further assessment.

Topics covered today: 1 – Turn yourself into a property pro Went to a live event, Modern Wisdom with Chris Williamson. While it mostly targets creatives and artists, some of the messaging hit home. Property investment is a business, in effect, and you should aim to treat it accordingly. Different personality types. But, should still take a professional approach to mapping out your investment strategy for the decade ahead at least. What does this mean in practice: A 10-year property plan with balance sheet and P&L Some of my most successful clients over the past decade have included those who take massive action, and those who are really across their strategy and the cashflows etc. 2 – Book and call with a broker or lending professional Property is a game of finance with houses in the middle. We've been through a very unusual period for lending. Interest rates fell to unprecedented lows and have now rebounded to contractionary settings. Many borrowers are paying more than they need to as banks aim to claw back returns. Lending assessment buffers are tight but this doesn't always apply to refinancing. Think a decade ahead and get buffers/offsets in place. Need to have a strategy which makes you unbreakable. 3 – Think in decade chunks Media commentary is now daily, focus is on clicks. But a full property cycle might take 7 to 10 years to play through. What happens over the course of a week probably has very little bearing on the prospects for a property investment over a decade time horizon. Our key investing years might be, for most people, between the ages of 25 and 65, so about 3 or decades. Could be 4 to 6 full property cycles, if not more if you invest in different cities, states, or countries. If you aim to invest for 20, 30, 40 years or longer, then there will be summer and winter seasons. High and low interest inflation, high and low interest rates, undersupply and overbuilding, high and low vacancy rates. So you need to think about long-term fundamentals. 4 – Wrap It's an interesting time for property investment. In 2025 we will have high population growth, a chronic housing shortage and falling interest rates. All good fundamentals for property. Yet, as with every decade, there will be those who succeed and those who fail to progress as they hoped. The best way to ensure you're in the former group and not the latter is by taking a more professional approach to your investing to managing risk, and take a sensible approach for the decade ahead, with the appropriate buffers in place.

Topics covered today: In this episode Pete and Chris discussed their 2024 highlights Some of the major trends we observed in the Aussie property market in 2024 included: Perth and Adelaide have boomed, and Brisbane listings were so low all year. How did interest rate movements impact the market throughout the year? Not as much as we thought. It was a complex web of trends, overall, and not as simple as people thought at the beginning of the year. 1. What Pete and Chris learned in 2024, and some challenges faced by the property market A key lesson for us – don't get too stuck on Level 1 thinking. It's a complicated market sometimes The most significant challenges the property market faced last year: Construction costs were very high, and developer insolvencies hit 3,000. Housing supply struggled all year. 2. 2025 outlook and insights from Pete and Chris Looking forward to 2025, our main predictions for the Australian property market: Slower price growth, but solid performance, overall. Melbourne is set to rebound due to relative affordability versus other capital cities. How we see the interest rate environment evolving, and how this will impact the market: Interest rates to fall to around 3.5%, APRA change to ease lending assessment buffers, and more bank competition for customers. This should boost buyer activity into an undersupplied market. Particular areas or regions in Australia that might offer the best investment opportunities in 2025: Melbourne, Newcastle, Brisbane, Central Coast, and Sunshine Coast. Key trends to shape 2025: Election year could see some changes to population policy, and property market policy. Superannuation for housing (Coalition) and Build to Rent (Labor). Slower population growth overall, as visa issuance for international students slows down. 3. Our advice for homebuyers and investors in 2025 Risks we believe homebuyers and investors should be cautious of in 2025: Construction and off the plan risks. Keep a buffer in case interest rates don't fall. 4. Closing reflections from Pete and Chris Summing up in 2024: Resilience! An interesting year of lessons. Intergenerational wealth and a struggle for developers. A complex market. Other advice for listeners as they plan their property investment strategies for the coming year: Get a property plan done!
