August reporting season closed with just 20–30% of companies beating expectations, as investors rewarded certainty in dividends, guidance, and cost control while punishing cautious outlooks. Standouts included Northern Star, Goodman Group, and JB Hi-Fi, while Woolworths, CSL, and James Hardie lagged on guidance misses. Looking to FY26, rate cuts, AI, gold, and resilient retailers are set to drive opportunity, but disciplined execution will be key.In this week's wrap, Grady covers:(0:16): a look back at reporting season as a whole(1:03): why investors are valuing clarity and strong guidance(2:03): a dive into some key sectors, including retail, gold and real estate(5:22): the themes shaping FY26's outlook(7:05): how the local market performed over the last trading week(7:32): the most traded stocks and ETFs this week(8:00): economic news items to look out for next week.

This week, the Trump administration announced it would sell around 5% of mortgage giants and government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The sale would begin to reintroduce the two firms to private markets after 17 years of government conservatorship. The decision to re-privatize two of the largest mortgage firms in the world, and a prominent reason why the United States is one of the only countries where people can get 30-year fixed-rate mortgages, will have enormous implications for the U.S. economy, housing market, and the American dream.Fannie Mae was founded during the Great Depression with the idea of making mortgages more widely available to Americans by buying mortgage loans from banks. Freddie Mac came along in 1970 to provide competition and increase liquidity for mortgages. In part, Fannie and Freddie increased liquidity by repackaging their mortgages into mortgage-backed securities and reselling them to investors. In the early 2000s, the subprime mortgage crisis began as smaller, unregulated financial actors started offering risky mortgage loans and likewise repackaged them to investors. When the crisis imploded in 2008, it gutted the market for mortgage-backed securities, and the U.S. government seized Fannie and Freddie to prevent them from collapsing. The government feared that without Freddie and Fannie, many Americans would no longer be able to afford home ownership. Today, Fannie and Freddie still back roughly 50% of all mortgage loans, with other government agencies making up another chunk.The Trump administration's plans to take these GSEs public again will allow the two firms to raise billions through new stock offerings and shift risk back to the private sector. But the question is, why is the government doing this? Will it help fix the country's housing crisis—which Trump has reportedly called a national emergency—or will it make matters worse? Bethany and Luigi get together to discuss what it would mean for Fannie and Freddie to go public, who benefits from these developments, and their implications for home loans, the housing market, and the American economy.Also check out Bethany's book, published in 2015: Shaky Ground: The Strange Saga of the U.S. Mortgage Giants

In Spain, property owners are increasingly turning to private companies to eject unwanted tenants or squatters – "okupas", as they're dubbed in Spanish. The use of private firms to persuade squatters to leave properties is banned in some countries like France. The majority of illegal home occupiers are Spanish families or foreigners struggling to make ends meet, who don't have anywhere else to live. FRANCE 24's Maude Petit-Jové and Sarah Morris report on the methods employed by these private companies, a symbol of Spain's worsening housing crisis.

Part 2: Beyond Lesson Plans: Balancing Delays & Highlighting Progress Teaching today means far more than covering math problems and reading lists.

In part two of this story, we cover how teachers are finding the silver lining in these challenges and what are some key focuses heading into this school year.

So, is migration really to blame for our housing crisis? According to one expert, our growing population is not the main cause of skyrocketing prices and rent. In this episode of The Briefing, Natarsha Belling is joined by Economist Matt Grudnoff, who explains that tax breaks with negative gearing and capital gains are the real issue. Matt says governments need to abolish these tax loopholes to make property more affordable.

The government's First Home Buyer Guarantee scheme will give thousands of renters, who struggle to save the usual 20 per cent home deposit, the chance to enter the property market. But experts say the scheme, brought forward by three months to October, may not be as helpful as it initially sounds. They say it leaves those using the scheme financially vulnerable and shuts out low-income earners. We spoke with financial advisor Bishwas Bhattarai and asked him about the scheme's specifics and other topics related to the Australian real estate market. - अस्ट्रेलियामा आफ्नो पहिलो घर किन्न लागेका मानिसहरूले पाँच प्रतिशत डिपोजिट बुझाए पुग्ने भएको छ। पहिलो घर किन्न चाहिने कुल मूल्यको २० प्रतिशत ‘डाउन पेमेन्ट'को १५ प्रतिशत ग्यारेन्टी सङ्घीय सरकार आफूले लिने योजना ‘होम ग्यारेन्टी स्किम' सबै योग्य अस्ट्रेलियनहरूका लागि अक्टोबर १ देखि लागू गर्ने घोषणा गरेपछि, अस्ट्रेलियन नागरिक तथा पीआर भएका अस्ट्रेलियाबासीहरूले आफूले किन्न चाहेको घरको कुल भाउको पाँच प्रतिशत रकम मात्र जम्मा गरे पनि घरधनी हुन पाउने भएका हुन्। यो योजनाको थुप्रैले प्रशंसा गरेता भए तापनि आपूर्तिसँग यसलाई मिलान नगराए, घरजग्गाको भाउ आकासिने सम्भावना रहने केही विश्लेषकहरूको भनाई छ। उक्त सरकारी योजना लगायतका अस्ट्रेलियाको घर-जग्गा बजारका बारेमा आर्थिक सल्लाहकार विश्वास भट्टराईसँग एसबीएस नेपालीले गरेको कुराकानी सुन्नुहोस्।

Rishard Rameez is the Co‑Founder and CEO of Zown, an AI‑powered real estate platform that makes homeownership more accessible and affordable. Zown was born from a viral Reddit post where Rishard shared his frustration over paying over $70K in real estate commissions. The outpouring of support inspired him to flip the model: instead of paying big commissions, Zown gives buyers significant upfront cash to help with their down payment and closing costs, while offering sellers flat fees. This customer‑first model has driven rapid growth, with Zown processing over $300 million in transactions and becoming Canada's fastest‑growing real estate brokerage. The platform has recently launched in California and continues expanding across North America. Rishard sparked a movement by transforming personal pain into an industry‑changing solution.(02:17) - The Broken Home Buying Process(03:02) - It All Started with a Viral Reddit Post (05:39) - Early Pivot from Flat Fee Model(14:59) - Unbundling Real Estate Services(18:06) - Feature: Blueprint - The Future of Real Estate - Register for 2025: The Premier Event for Industry Executives, Real Estate & Construction Tech Startups and VC's, at The Venetian, Las Vegas on Sep. 16th-18th, 2025.(19:00) - Feature: Meow - Business banking, with interest: Unlock a high-yield business checking account that pays up to 3.52%.(20:31) - Zone's Growth Journey(28:47) - Customer Acquisition Strategy(30:36) - Recent Seed Round(32:42) - Why Own vs. Rent a Home(34:52) - Collaboration Superpower: Muhammad and Jesus Christ

Since 2008, and even more since 2018 and 2023, private equity firms have been buying up real estate and rental properties across the U.S. No firm has preyed up on peoples' precarity more than private equity firm Blackstone. The fimr is the largest landlord in the United States by... a LOT. It owns 100,00 more rental units than its next closest competitor.

Bio//Jordan Ash lives in Minnesota and has worked for over twenty-five years doing community and labor organizing.

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: Once the Times has developed a rooting interest in the news, it loses all sense of proportion. Cuomo and Adams are both actually scandalous figures who are totally unfit for office. But rather than documenting that, the Times is obsessed with trying to prove that the squeaky clean Mamdani must also somehow be disqualified.

Leaving prison can be a jarring experience. Reentry can be challenging under the best of circumstances. But a state housing crisis has made it harder. Landlords are less likely to rent to someone with a criminal record. Formerly incarcerated people are 10 times more likely to be homeless. Add in cuts to mental health services, job assistance and food insecurity programs, life is getting harder for many people who were previously incarcerated. Today, we’re talking about challenges facing the formerly incarcerated population upon release. GUESTS: Alpha Jalloh: formerly incarcerated person living in Connecticut Bryan "Love" Jordan: formerly incarcerated person living in Connecticut State Sen.

Colorado's population is rapidly aging. Soon, one in five people in the state will be be over 65 years old. Limited housing stock means seniors are stuck in too-large homes that they can't afford to maintain. In turn, that means there's fewer large homes for younger families who need them. Today, Abby is joined by Katy Clagett, an incremental developer originally from Colorado who's working to develop infill housing options for seniors. They discuss what Colorado's situation means for communities and how we can reshape housing to be more adaptable to the needs of all age groups. ADDITIONAL SHOW NOTES “As Colorado ages, seniors are colliding with the housing crisis” by Brian Eason, The Colorado Sun (June 2025). Learn how to create a more flexible housing market.
