Episode SummaryIn this episode, Richard is joined by Trent Wiltshire, Chief Economist at Rider Levett Bucknall (RLB), to discuss the latest findings from RLB's quarterly construction market update and what they mean for developers, investors, and the broader property sector.Trent unpacks how the Middle East conflict sent shockwaves through the construction supply chain earlier in the year, pushing up the cost of fuel, materials, and energy-intensive building products rapidly. They discuss why the outcome has been less severe than many in the industry feared, and what is driving the difference between a price shock and a supply chain breakdown.The conversation then turns to the state of the market across Australia, where construction cost pressures are playing out very differently depending on the jurisdiction. Trent walks through the outlook state by state, examining where activity is heating up, where it remains subdued, and which markets carry the most risk over the next few years. The Olympic infrastructure pipeline, skilled labour shortages, and the rapid rise of data centre construction are all key points of discussion.The episode concludes with Trent's views on the federal budget and interest rate rises, what both mean for housing supply in the near term, and the practical steps developers and contractors are taking to manage risk in this uncertain environment.About Our GuestTrent is Chief Economist at Rider Levett Bucknall (RLB), where he leads the firm's economic analysis and produces RLB's quarterly construction market update, with forecasts extending to 2029.Previously, Trent was Deputy Program Director at the Grattan Institute, where he focused on housing policy and skilled migration.

2026 is shaping up as a year of subtle indicators and big risks, and Louis Christopher breaks down the data points seasoned investors should be paying attention to right now.In this episode, Louis joins Veronica and Chris just days after releasing the 2026 edition to unpack the findings that matter most: population growth moderating sharply, supply finally catching up in pockets, and why rental pressure may ease before prices do. And, critically, he reveals the assumptions his modelling rests on — and the risks that could topple them.Louis walks us through the four core scenarios underpinning his 2026 outlook, including the one that unexpectedly took the lead in 2025, and the one he now believes may need a late addendum as sticky inflation raises the odds of a surprise rate hike. From unemployment edging toward 5%, to small business stress, to shifts in interstate migration, Louis explains how these macro levers shape the micro realities buyers and investors experience on the ground.We also zoom into the markets that defied expectations in 2025 — including Darwin's explosive rebound and the Gold Coast's continued growth despite being fundamentally overvalued. Louis breaks down why listings data is flashing one message, why developers are building for the wrong demographic, and where supply bottlenecks could turn into oversupply shocks by 2027. Perth, Brisbane and Adelaide remain the nation's top performers, but Louis outlines exactly what conditions would need to change for any of them to lose steam.This conversation is packed with uncomfortable truths, grounded forecasts, and the kind of nuance you only get from someone who has studied the data for over two decades. Whether you're trying to time a purchase, expand a portfolio, or simply understand where the market is heading next, Louis' insights offer the clarity — and the caution — needed to navigate 2026 with your eyes open.Episode Highlights00:00 – Introduction to the 2026 Housing Market Outlook01:11 – Louis Christopher's Forecasting Approach02:18 – Reviewing the 2025 Predictions05:38 – Key Assumptions for 202607:53 – Interest Rate Scenarios for 202610:52 – Gold Coast Market Analysis15:14 – Darwin Market Insights18:56 – Structural Changes in Listings21:58 – Impact of High Transaction Costs on Listings23:12 – Market Dynamics in Different Cities25:10 – Investor Behavior and Market Trends26:42 – Rental Yields and Property Taxes28:49 – Interstate Investment Trends32:27 – Adelaide's Surprising Economic Resilience34:19 – Construction Costs and Housing Prices37:07 – Key Indicators for 2026 Market PredictionsAbout the GuestLouis Christopher is one of Australia's most respected and closely watched housing market analysts.

On this week's episode of The Horizon, John Chang unpacks how shifting government policies around tariffs, immigration, and a potential shutdown could shape commercial real estate over the next several years. He explains why rolling tariffs are inflationary rather than transitory, how tighter immigration reduces labor supply and pushes wages higher, and why delayed government data complicates the Fed's rate-cut path. John also maps sector-level ripple effects, from construction and value-add cost pressures to hospitality and retail demand, while noting strong household balance sheets and tactical opportunities for investors who position near policy beneficiaries like domestic steel. He closes with a pragmatic takeaway: uncertainty raises risk, but it also creates investable dislocations for informed operators.

Send us a textIn this episode of Real Estate Development Insights, we explore a topic at the heart of every development conversation today: construction costs. Our guest, Marlon Bray, is a seasoned industry expert who recently transitioned from cost consulting into a more hands-on construction management role. With decades of experience in pricing, budgeting, and project execution, Marlon offers a candid and insightful look at the evolving landscape of construction costs in Canada. We've all heard the headlines—construction costs are falling. But is that good news? Not exactly. As Marlon explains, today's cost reductions are a symptom of deeper industry problems, not a sign of market health. The dramatic drop in activity, loss of trades, and market hesitancy have all contributed to reduced pricing, but at a hidden cost: a weakened development ecosystem and eroding long-term capacity. This episode breaks down the complex relationship between construction cost trends, municipal red tape, policy stagnation, and developer hesitation. If you're a builder, planner, or investor wondering when to re-enter the market—or trying to understand what the real cost drivers are—this episode is essential listening. Key topics we cover:Why construction costs are falling—and why developers should be cautious, not celebratory.The real reason thousands of shovel-ready units remain stalled.How planning delays and policy inconsistency drive up both risk and cost.The role of tariffs and taxes in inflating material prices.Why “cost” isn't just about dollars per square foot—it's about timing, approvals, and survival.Critical mistakes new developers make when estimating project costs.The long-term danger of talent loss and trade attrition due to stalled projects.For more information, please refer to RealEstateDevelopmentInsights.Com.

In this conversation, John Harcar interviews Dan Shabel, who shares his journey from being a litigation attorney to becoming a successful real estate developer. Dan discusses his experiences in the retail real estate market, the challenges he faces in the current economic climate, and the importance of relationships and persistence in the development process. He also highlights the rising costs of construction and the evolving trends in the retail sector, emphasizing the need for adaptability and strategic thinking in real estate development.

Lumber prices surged 23% year-over-year in April, reviving cost pressures that rattled builders earlier in the pandemic. The spike, driven by sawmill closures and fears of higher tariffs on Canadian imports, is squeezing margins for major developers like Lennar, D.R. Horton, and Toll Brothers. The U.S. currently imposes a 14.5% duty on Canadian softwood lumber—accounting for 85% of American imports—but that rate could more than double following a regulatory review expected by August. The volatility comes as HUD Secretary Scott Turner outlines a bold deregulation agenda. Speaking at the T3 Leadership Summit, Turner pledged to ease red tape, open underused federal lands for construction, and eliminate the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule. Turner says the goal is to unlock new supply by empowering local governments and encouraging self-sufficiency. Meanwhile, HUD faces proposed budget cuts of $33.6 billion, raising questions about how effectively the agency can stimulate new building while federal funding shrinks. Together, rising material costs and shifting federal policy are setting the stage for a turbulent second half of 2025 in the housing sector.

If you're interested in learning more about the construction of Hoover Dam, scroll to the end of the show notes for links.00:00 - A Quick Dam Joke, the Consortium, and Some StatsWe question our ability to keep our puns in check. Sorry, Mom.Then we move on to the contractors. We discuss the consortium called Six Companies Inc. that won the bid at nearly $49 million, approximately $860 million in today's dollars.Eddie makes a conveniently timed comparison to the Washington Monument. The Hoover Dam is 726 feet tall–almost 200 feet taller than the Washington Monument. Only 6 buildings in the US were taller than the dam when it was built.We discuss some stats:-4.4 million cubic yards of concrete were used in the project. That is enough to pave a two-lane road from Seattle to Miami or a four-foot-wide sidewalk around the Earth at the Equator or enough to pave a two-lane road from Seattle to Miami.-Its base is as thick as the length of 2 football end-to-end-It has 4 intake towers (30' diameter each) that can carry enough water to fill 900 bathtubs in only one second. That means 1,448,100 “bathtubfuls” of water will have passed through the dam in the time it takes you to listen to this episode.07:15 - Construction Costs and Power OutputTyler mentions that the cost of the initial construction, which finished in 1936, wasn't paid off until 1987. Eddie discusses the way that we handle financing for capital projects, spending not just tomorrow's money–but money that won't come in for decades.We compare these expenses to the absolutely monumental amount of economic impact that the electricity from the dam has had. Here's where the 4 billion kilowatt-hours each year goes:19% to Arizona23% to Nevada58% percent goes to California (15% to LA, which is 270 miles away)10:46 - Hoovervilles and FatalitiesEddie fills the gaps in Tyler's history education with an explanation of the Hoovervilles from the Great Depression. Hoover didn't get much positive PR aside from this dam.We discuss the desperation of the Great Depression is shown by the fact that the ability to line up workers for a job to do this. Tyler shares the troubling coincidence is the fact that the first and last men to die on this project were father and son.Thinking about these human costs leads us into a discussion about the structure of incentives and penalties that drove the owners of Six Companies to push the pace of construction.19:53 - Takeaways: Big Projects, Green Energy, Old-school DraftingWe discuss the fact that bold projects lead to emboldened people who move on to even bolder projects. Sometimes biting off more than you can chew leads to growth.Tyler makes the point that this dam was a green-energy project long before the term “green energy” was coined. He also expresses awe at the thought that all of the drafting for this massive project would have been done by hand.Eddie stops short of calling himself a history buff, but he expresses a deep respect for the teams of designers and workers who accomplished massive projects like this with so little help from what we consider advanced technologies.Tyler invites you to submit your ideas for future research-based projects.If you're interested in additional details about the Hoover Dam, explore these sources:EIA.govUSBR.govB1M video: compares the world's largest dams to other structuresLake Mead historical water-level chartNPS.govBechtel's page about construction of the damOld publicity/education videoLibrary of Congress PhotosVideo of the physics and engineering involvedCheck out the partners that make our show possible.Find Us Online: BrosPodcast.com - LinkedIn - Youtube - Instagram - Facebook - TikTok - Eddie's LinkedIn - Tyler's LinkedInIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to us! Thanks for listening

Today, I discuss Australia's housing crisis in Australia with Brendan Coates, the Housing and Economic Security Program Director at the Grattan Institute.   We explore what's really driving the housing crisis, the impact of migration and tax policies, and why simply building more homes may not be the silver bullet many think it is.   We also get Brendan's insights on how we can create a fairer, more sustainable housing market for all Australians.  Our conversation also covers the expectations of first-time home buyers, government responses, and the long-term outlook for housing affordability.  Takeaways  There's a pressure cooker building up for the housing markets.  The housing crisis will take a decade to resolve.  We haven't built enough housing to meet demand.  Migration is playing a role in the housing crisis  Rents have risen significantly since the pandemic.  Government policies need to focus on increasing housing supply.  Stamp duty is a barrier to housing mobility.  Social housing is essential for vulnerable populations.  Construction costs need to be addressed to improve housing supply.  Chapters  00:00 Understanding the Housing Crisis  03:28 The Role of Migration in Housing Demand  06:18 Challenges of Home Ownership and Renting  09:16 Government Responses and Solutions  11:59 The Importance of Building More Homes  15:02 Tax Policies and Their Impact on Housing  17:47 Social and Affordable Housing Needs  20:24 Construction Costs and Housing Supply  23:14 The Future of Housing Affordability  35:39 The Pressure Cooker of the Housing Market  38:00 Strategic Property Investment for Financial Independence  Links and Resources:   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us  Brendan Coates – Housing and Economic Security Program Director, Grattan Institute   Get a bundle of free reports and eBooks – www.PodcastBonus.com.au    Also, please subscribe to my new podcast Demographics Decoded with Simon Kuestenmacher – just look for  Demographics Decoded wherever you are listening to this podcast and subscribe so each week we can unveil the trends shaping your future.  Shownotes plus more here: Housing Australia's Future: Grattan Institute's Brendan Coates on Policy, Migration, and Affordability
