Negotiating is a part of living; we do it all the time.   When you walk down a crowded street, you negotiate the path you take.   A couple negotiates their relationship before and during marriage.  Although you may not realise what's happening, for example, you take out the garbage tonight and I will do the dishes.   And of course of the negotiation is one of the skills developed by all savvy property investors and business people.   Over the years I've noticed that some people are very good at getting terrific deals. Most others simply get what the other party is willing to give.   What's the difference?  In my mind, it's that the first group knows how to negotiate.   It's actually more than that, they know how to influence and persuade others to do what they would like them to do.   So today I'd like to discuss the topic of negotiation, influence and persuasion with Brett Warren, National Director of Property at Metropole.   In this conversation, we discuss the essential skills of negotiation, influence, and persuasion, emphasizing that life itself is a series of negotiations.   We explore the psychological aspects of negotiation, the importance of emotional detachment, and the power dynamics at play.   We also debunk common myths about negotiation, highlights common mistakes, and shares practical tips for becoming a better negotiator.     Takeaways  ·         Life is a negotiation, whether in property or personal matters. ·         Emotional control is key in negotiations. ·         Building rapport creates trust and facilitates negotiation. ·         The first offer can set the tone for negotiations. ·         Many people make the mistake of being too emotional during negotiations. ·         Preparation is crucial for successful negotiation. ·         Listening is more important than talking in negotiations. ·         Understanding psychological biases can improve negotiation outcomes. ·         Success in negotiation often comes down to mindset and resilience.   Chapters    02:16 – Why Life Is One Big Negotiation  05:12 – The Power of Time, Information and Options  08:14 – Emotional Control and Reading People  10:37 – Rapport, Trust and Ethical Influence  13:07 – Myths, Mistakes and Smarter Strategies  16:17 – Anchoring, Biases and Winning the Right Deal   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - http://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·         Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's Guide to Investing Successfully.

In der chinesischen Millionenstadt Hongkong ist eine ganze Hochhaussiedlung in Flammen aufgegangen. Beim schlimmsten Brand seit Jahrzehnten starben nach letztem Stand mindestens 65 Menschen. Die Ermittlungen laufen. Wang Fuk Court ist eine Wohnanlage im nördlichen Hongkonger Bezirk Tai Po. Acht Hochhäuser mit 32 Stockwerken. Eines davon geriet am Mittwoch in Brand – das Feuer breitete sich im nu auf die übrigen Gebäude aus. In vier davon sind die Flammen unter Kontrolle, der Einsatz der Feuerwehr dauert an. Bauarbeiten als Brandursache? Unsere Korrespondentin Eva Lamby-Schmitt berichtet in SWR Aktuell, dass gerade Renovierungsarbeiten an der Wohnanlage aus den 1980er Jahren stattfanden. Dabei sollen Baumaterialien verwendet worden sein, die nicht den Brandschutznormen entsprochen haben: "Nach ersten Untersuchungen haben Ermittler leicht entflammbare Schaumstoffe entdeckt. Und zwar in jedem Stockwerk an den Fenstern in der Nähe der Aufzüge. Und diese Schaumstoffe haben nach Angaben der Behörden dazu geführt, dass sich das Feuer in den Gebäuden so schnell ausbreiten konnte und auch über die Flure von Wohnung zu Wohnung übergesprungen ist." Die Polizei habe drei Männer festgenommen. Dabei soll es sich um zwei Direktoren und einen technischen Berater der Baufirma handeln, die gerade den Wohnkomplex renoviert. Baugerüste aus Bambus Für die Bauarbeiten waren die Hochhäuser eingerüstet. Die Baugerüste sind aus Bambus. Das ist in Honkong durchaus üblich. "Es werden auch Metallgerüste eingesetzt und die Regierung in Hongkong will auch, dass Metallgerüste Standard werden." Denn schon länger gab es Sicherheitsbedenken gegen Gerüste aus Bambus. In der Vergangenheit kam es zu tödlichen Unfällen, weil Bambusgerüste zusammenbrachen oder Bauarbeiter herunterstürzten. "Jetzt, nach dem großen Feuer ist die Dringlichkeit noch mehr da, von Bambus zu Metallgerüsten zu wechseln." Zusätzlich soll die Sicherheit auf allen großen Baustellen der Metropole überprüft werden. Dabei soll auch untersucht werden, ob noch anderswo Baumaterialen verwendet werden, die nicht den Brandschutzvorschriften entsprechen. "Das betrifft alle öffentlichen Wohnsiedlungen, die gerade renoviert werden." Am Ort der Brandkatastrophe laufen die Löscharbeiten derzeit weiter. Auch die Zahl der Opfer könnte noch dramatisch steigen. Denn noch immer werden fast 280 Bewohner vermisst.

Have you ever looked at a successful property investor and thought – they just got lucky? They bought at the right time, in the right suburb, and everything seemed to go their way. But here's the truth: most successful investors don't wait for luck – they create it.   In today's show, I'm joined by Brett Warren, national Director of Property at Metropole and together we're going to pull back the curtain on what really drives success in property. You'll discover why some investors always seem to be in the right place at the right time, while others miss out again and again.   We'll share the habits, strategies, and mindset shifts that can help you manufacture your own luck – and set yourself up to take advantage of opportunities that others never see.   So, whether you're just starting out or looking to take your portfolio to the next level, stick around – because this episode could change the way you think about property investing forever.   Takeaways  ·         Successful investors don't rely solely on luck; they create their own opportunities. ·         Preparation and having a clear strategy are crucial for success in property investment. ·         Surrounding yourself with a knowledgeable team can alleviate stress and enhance decision-making. ·         Mindset is a significant differentiator between successful and average investors. ·         Investors should focus on long-term goals rather than short-term gains. ·         Capital growth is more important than cash flow for long-term wealth. ·         Successful investors continuously learn and adapt to market changes. ·         Delaying gratification is essential for building wealth over time. ·         Investing through multiple market cycles helps build resilience and expertise. ·         Real-life examples show that informed decisions lead to significant equity growth.     Chapters  01:36 - Are Successful Investors Just Lucky?  05:27 - The Myth of Perfect Timing in Property  09:08 - Building Luck with Teams, Buffers and Strategy  13:06 - Mindset, Long-Term Goals and Delayed Gratification  17:16 - Real Client Stories That Prove Preparation Beats Luck   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·        Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's Guide to Investing ·        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report   Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at www.PodcastBonus.com.au     Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us   Michael Yardney – Subscribe to my Property Update newsletter here      Brett Warren - National Director of Property at Metropole     Also, please subscribe to my other 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.

Zoomania 2 | Wenig anders, aber tierisch gut In „Zoomania 2“ (ab 26. November im Kino) führt ein Einsatz die ungleichen, tierischen Cops Judy Hopps und Nick Wilde auf eine rätselhafte Fährte, die die vermeintlich gut geordnete Säugetier-Metropole ins Chaos stürzt. Die beiden müssen sich undercover in bis dahin unbekannten Vierteln behaupten, in denen neue Regeln gelten und ihre noch junge Partnerschaft stärker ins Wanken gerät, als ihnen lieb ist – nicht zuletzt, weil eine Schlange auftaucht, die es in einer Stadt wie Zoomania eigentlich gar nicht geben dürfte. Schlangen sind zwar auch beim Tele-Stammtisch seltene Gäste, dafür haben sich Schlogger und Stu das Sequel zu einem der erfolgreichsten Disney-Filme der vergangenen Jahre angesehen und erzählen nicht nur, ob sich der Kinobesuch lohnt, sondern auch, welche Tiere sie selbst wären, wie sich der zweite Teil atmosphärisch und erzählerisch vom Original unterscheidet – und natürlich, ob Schlangen wirklich so unsympathisch sind, wie ihr Ruf vermuten lässt.

Es gab eine Zeit, da sah ich Wien weniger als Metropole, und vielmehr als größtes Dorf der Welt. Ende der 90er, Anfang des neuen Jahrtausends. Es wurde oft klein gedacht, klein gehandelt, obwohl man schon damals zu großem bestimmt war. Projekte, wie das von Michael „Pogo“ Kreiner und Heinz Tronniger ins Leben gerufene Madrid de los Austrias, haben dich rausgeholt, und mit einer mitreissenden Atmosphäre auf eine Reise geschickt. Jetzt haben sie ihr drittes Studioalbum herausgebracht. Selbsterklärend, "Tercero". (superfly.fm)

Debt is a word that makes most people nervous. We think of it as a burden, something to avoid at all costs. But what if we've been looking at it the wrong way? Today I'm joined by Professor John Dinsmore, marketing expert and author of the fascinating new book The Marketing of Debt. John peels back the layers on how debt is presented, sold, and even "marketed" to us, from credit cards to mortgages to student loans. And more importantly, he helps us understand how to navigate debt without fear, confusion, or shame. Whether you're a property investor, a business owner, or just someone with a credit card in their wallet, this conversation will change the way you think about borrowing money.     Takeaways  ·         Debt is often marketed in ways that make it seem less risky. ·         Understanding debt can lead to better financial decisions. ·         There are different types of debt: good, bad, and necessary. ·         Financial literacy is crucial for navigating debt effectively. ·         Marketing plays a significant role in how debt is perceived. ·         Younger generations may underestimate the long-term impact of debt. ·         Reading the fine print is essential when taking on debt. ·         AI and digital marketing will evolve the way debt is sold. ·         Strategic borrowing can be beneficial for property investors. ·         Debt should be approached with caution and awareness.     Chapters    02:12 - Why Debt Is Marketed Like Any Other Product  05:58 - Tricks That Make Borrowing Feel Easier Than It Is  09:38 - How Shame, Ignorance and Optimism Trap Us in Bad Debt  13:24 - Good Debt vs Bad Debt: Using Borrowing Strategically  18:40 - AI, Personalization and the Future of Debt Marketing   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·        Win a hard copy of The Rules of Property.

Hören Sie in dieser Folge den Architekten, Ausstellungskurator, Architekturhistoriker, kritischen Beobachter und Kommentator seiner gebauten Umgebung Otto Kapfinger im Gespräch mit der Architektin Claudia Cavallar. Kapfinger ist seit Mitte der 1970er-Jahre Secessions-Mitglied und hat Mitte der 1980er-Jahre mit Adolf Krischanitz und Oskar Putz die umfassende Sanierung des Hauses verantwortet. In diesem lebendigen Gespräch teilt Kapfinger sein geradezu lexikalisches Wissen über Architektur, Stadtplanung, bildende Kunst, Fotografie und Kulturpolitik, nicht nur im historischen Wien um die Jahrhundertwende, sondern auch aus der Perspektive eines aktiven Gestalters. Diese Folge wurde am 17. Oktober 2025 in der Secession aufgenommen. Otto Kapfinger (*1949) lebt als freier Architekturwissenschaftler in Wien. Er ist Autor von etwa 50 Büchern zur Baukunst in Österreich und Kurator zahlreicher Ausstellungen. 1970 gründete er mit Angela Hareiter und Adolf Krischanitz die Experimental-Architekt*innengruppe Missing Link, die bis zu ihrer Auflösung 1980 künstlerische Aktionen, Performances und Experimentalfilme realisierte. 1985/86 unternahm er im Rahmen der Sanierung der Secession von Adolf Krischanitz umfassende architekturhistorische Recherchen für die Renovierung des Olbrich-Baus. Von 1978 bis 1992 war Kapfinger im Vorstand der Österreichischen Gesellschaft für Architektur und von 1980 bis 84 im Vorstand der Secession Wien. 1981 bis 1991 schrieb er regelmäßig Rezensionen und Essays für die Tageszeitung Die Presse. 2019 wurde ihm der Ehrendoktor der Technischen Universität Wien verliehen. Zuletzt leitete er das Forschungsprojekt Anatomie einer Metropole. Bauen mit Eisenbeton in Wien 1890–1918 (Ausstellung im Wien Museum 2025). Claudia Cavallar studierte Architektur bei Hans Hollein und Greg Lynn. Nach Mitarbeit in verschiedenen Architekturbüros, unter anderem bei the next ENTERprise, ist sie seit 2010 selbstständig. In ihrer Arbeit setzt sie sich mit dem Unauffälligen, Zufälligen und Gewohnten in der Architektur auseinander, mit dem Verhältnis zwischen Tradition und Erfindung, Ortsspezifischem und Allgemeinem und dem Einfluss, den Produktionsmethoden der Architektur auf das Ergebnis haben. Seit 2008 beschäftigt sie sich mit der Arbeit von Josef Frank, insbesondere seiner Innenräume, Stoffmuster und Möbel. Sie ist außerdem für Gestaltung und Display sowie als Kuratorin von Ausstellungen tätig. 2025 wurde Claudia Cavallar mit dem Hans Hollein Kunstpreis für Architektur ausgezeichnet. www.claudiacavallar.at Secession Podcast: Members ist eine Gesprächsreihe mit Mitgliedern der Secession.

Pilze sind unsere unerwarteten Helden im Kampf gegen die Klimakrise! Sie sind nicht nur das intelligente, vernetzte Reich unter unseren Füssen, sondern bieten auch innovative Lösungen: Sie können u.a. ölbasierte Materialien wie Styropor ersetzen und damit aktiv beim Klimawandel helfen. - Dabei sind Pilze weder Pflanze noch Tier, sondern eine eigene Kategorie des Lebens, über die wir noch viel zu wenig wissen. Meine Faszination ist gross – vielleicht weil sie eine ursprüngliche Form der Vernetzung und Intelligenz repräsentieren, die wir als Menschen neu entdecken und kultivieren müssten. Ob als Nahrung, Medizin oder bei der Heilung psychischer Krankheiten, Pilze berühren zentrale Bedürfnisse der Menschheit. Ist es Zufall, dass gerade jetzt in Rio de Janeiro das erste Pilzmuseum entsteht, das "Central dos Cogumelos"? Ausserdem ist Brasilien ein Land mit einer kulturell verwurzelten Pilzkultur. - Zu Gast ist für einmal mein alter Freund Tomi Streiff, der Filmemacher und Co-Initiant dieses einzigartigen Projekts im alten Hafenviertel von Rio. Tomi, ursprünglich aus Basel, lebt mittlerweile mit seiner Frau und Mit-Initiantin Jane in der brasilianischen Metropole. In dieser Folge sprechen wir darüber, warum die Pilzkultur in Brasilien eine besondere Rolle spielt und warum es heute dringender denn je ein Pilzmuseum braucht, um das Potenzial des Pilzreichs sichtbar zu machen. P.S. Das Pilzmuseum in Rio sucht noch UnterstützerInnen. Den Link dazu findet man hier: ["Central dos Cogumelos“](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9ZBDCUW_B4)

If you spend five minutes talking to a Gen Z, you could walk away feeling pretty gloomy. They'll tell you the world is burning, wars are endless, work is meaningless, and of course, that housing is forever out of reach. And on the surface, they've got a point — affordability is at record lows, and the property ladder feels further away than ever. But here's the thing… the future might not be as bleak as they think. In fact, there's a quiet housing revolution coming that could turn things around for this younger generation. Demographics, policy shifts, even the way we build homes — all of these are lining up to create opportunities that might surprise a lot of people. And in today's show, leading demographer Simon Kuestenmacher and I explore the impact of demographics on our housing markets, and the potential for Gen Z to benefit from favourable job conditions and economic shifts.   Takeaways  ·         The housing market may improve for Gen Z in the future. ·         Demographic trends suggest job security for Gen Z. ·         Gender equality is improving and will benefit future generations. ·         Baby boomers transitioning out of homes will create opportunities. ·         First home buyer grants may inadvertently raise housing prices. ·         More tradespeople are needed to address housing shortages. ·         Innovation in housing construction is essential for affordability. ·         Government policies need to be reformed for better housing access. ·         Gen Z's future may be more optimistic than current perceptions suggest.     Chapters  03:17 - Gen Z: Smartphones, Social Media and Mental Health  06:11 - Why a Small Generation May Have Big Job Advantages  10:24 - Baby Boomers Passing Homes and Housing Supply Shift  13:58 - Densification of Middle Suburbs and Urban Change  15:44 - First Home Buyer Grants Driving Prices Up   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·        Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's Guide to Investing Successfully ·        Every entry receives a copy of a fully updated Michael Yardney Property Report   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us   Simon Kuestenmacher: Australia's leading demographer and partner in the Demographics Group     Get a bundle of free reports and eBooks – www.PodcastBonus.com.au   Also, please subscribe to my other 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.

If you've been wondering whether Australia's housing boom still has legs, or if we've already hit the peak of this cycle, then today's episode will give you the clarity you've been looking for. Because, according to Dr Andrew Wilson, home prices across our capital cities accelerated again in October — marking the strongest monthly growth in nearly four years. Now, this kind of broad-based growth might surprise some commentators who've been predicting a slowdown. But as Andrew points out in his latest House Price Report, the combination of lower interest rates, improved affordability, and chronic undersupply continues to fuel strong buyer demand — particularly in markets where stock remains scarce and confidence is returning fast.   Takeaways  ·         Most Australians focus on short-term financial concerns. ·         Interest rates and media headlines distract average investors. ·         Property markets have performed more strongly than expected this year. ·         All capital cities reported higher property prices recently. ·         Brisbane's unit market has seen significant growth. ·         Fear of missing out is influencing buyer behavior. ·         The national house price has increased by 8.3% over the past year. ·         Strong fundamentals are supporting ongoing price increases. ·         The housing market is expected to remain active in the coming months.   Chapters  02:08 - Australia's Strongest Price Growth in Four Years  04:38 - Did the Reserve Bank Cut Rates Too Soon?  07:18 - How the Data Really Measures Monthly Price Trends  08:01 - House Prices Surge Nationwide — The Boom Returns  11:40 - Brisbane Leads as Units and Houses Break New Records   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au •    Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's Guide to Investing Successfully •    Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2026 and beyond.     Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at www.PodcastBonus.com.au   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

Have you ever felt like the classic Aussie dream -  you know, owning your home, maybe a few investment properties, and creating a secure future for your family -  is getting harder to reach? You're not alone. Today, I'm joined by Mark Matson – a renowned American entrepreneur, wealth educator, and author of Experiencing the American Dream. Now, before you switch off at the phrase "American Dream" – I get it – this isn't a US flag-waving episode. In fact, Mark's message is about something we all care about: taking control of your financial future, transforming your mindset around money, and aligning your wealth with your life's purpose.   We discuss the psychological aspects of wealth, the impact of media on mindset, and the necessity of shifting from a scarcity to an abundance mentality.   The dialogue also addresses common investing myths, the significance of problem-solving in financial decisions, and the distinction between being rich and being fulfilled.     Takeaways  ·         The Australian dream of home ownership is becoming harder to achieve. ·         The American dream is evolving and is not solely materialistic. ·         Money cannot buy happiness; purpose does. ·         A scarcity mindset limits financial growth and opportunities. ·         Private property is essential for entrepreneurship and wealth creation. ·         Investing requires understanding and a long-term perspective. ·         Problem-solving is crucial in financial decision-making. ·         Many wealthy individuals are not fulfilled or happy. ·         Finding a personal purpose can lead to a more meaningful life. ·         We live in unprecedented times of opportunity and prosperity.     Chapters  02:02 - Mark Matson's Journey and Global Investing  03:33 - Redefining the American Dream Beyond Money  06:32 - Media Fear vs. Living in the Best Time in History  08:01 - Why Money Alone Can't Bring Happiness  12:36 - Scarcity Thinking and the Power of Abundance   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·        Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's Guide to Investing.

In today's show, Simon Küstenmacher and I discuss the dynamics of our property markets, with a particular focus on the trend of downsizing among baby boomers.   We examine the emotional and financial factors that influence this demographic's decision-making, the impact of government policies on the housing market, and the implications for younger generations seeking family homes.   Simon mentions the need for better housing options and incentives to facilitate downsizing, ultimately aiming to create a more sustainable housing market.   Takeaways  ·         Baby boomers are hesitant to downsize due to emotional attachments. ·         Downsizing can provide financial freedom and reduce stress. ·         Government policies can incentivize downsizing through tax reforms. ·         Emotional attachments to family homes complicate downsizing decisions. ·         Financial disincentives like stamp duty hinder downsizing. ·         Younger generations are affected by baby boomers not downsizing. ·         Demographic trends shape the future of housing markets. ·         Rethinking housing options is crucial for supporting aging populations. ·         Real fortunes in property are made before the boom. ·         Luck rewards the prepared investor.     Chapters  00:00 - Baby Boomers Hold Onto Big Homes  02:09 - Downsizing Trend Overstated in Australia  05:18 - Emotional Ties Block Downsizing Decisions  10:43 - Financial Disincentives: Stamp Duty and Pensions  16:32 - Wealth Concentration Among Baby Boomers  24:46 - Policy Fixes: Kill the Stamp Duty to Unlock Moves   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·        Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's Guide to Investing Successfully ·        Every entry receives a copy of a fully updated Michael Yardney Property Report   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us   Simon Kuestenmacher: Australia's leading demographer and partner in the Demographics Group     Get a bundle of free reports and eBooks – www.PodcastBonus.com.au   Also, please subscribe to my other 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.

Today, Simon Kuestenmacher and I discuss a topic that's at the heart of the “Great Australian Dream”: homeownership. For over a century, owning your own home was not just a rite of passage—it was an expectation. But that dream is slipping further out of reach for millions of Australians, particularly younger generations. We discuss the evolving landscape of homeownership in Australia, tracing its historical roots and examining the current challenges faced by younger generations.   We examine the impact of demographic shifts, migration, and investment trends on homeownership rates, as well as the growing trend towards renting.   The conversation highlights the complexities of housing affordability and the systemic issues that need to be addressed to ensure a fair chance for all Australians in the property market.   Takeaways  Homeownership in Australia is becoming increasingly unattainable for younger generations. Historical peaks of homeownership have been followed by significant declines. Demographic shifts, including education and migration, are impacting homeownership rates. The average age of first home buyers is rising due to economic pressures. Government policies are often short-term solutions rather than systemic changes. The divide between asset-owning and non-asset-owning families is widening. The 'bank of mom and dad' plays a crucial role in homeownership. Renting is likely to become the norm in Australia.   Affordability issues are compounded by rising property prices and construction costs. A comprehensive approach is needed to address housing affordability for future generations.   Chapters  01:48 – Homeownership Dream Slipping Further and Further 09:24 - Different Levels of Homeownership 09:20 – Peculiarities of Life in Inland Cities 13:31 – The Cost of New Construction Become Even Worse 17:45 – Projects in Australian Rental Landscape 21:49 – First Home Buyer Schemes 23:37 – Final Thoughts     Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·         Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's Guide to Investing Successfully ·         Every entry receives a copy of a fully updated Michael Yardney Property Report   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us   Simon Kuestenmacher: Australia's leading demographer and partner in the Demographics Group   Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at www.PodcastBonus.com.au   Also, please subscribe to my other 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.

Australia's housing market is at a crossroads. For first-home buyers, the dream of ownership has never felt further away – with deposits taking more than 8 years to save and mortgage repayments eating up over half of disposable incomes.

„Hast du Kairo nicht erblickt, so hast du die Welt nicht gesehen.“, schreibt der arabische Philosoph Muhammed Abu Hamed im Jahr 1457. So gilt Kairo, seit jeher als „Mutter aller Städte“. Im Ballungsraum mit über 25 Millionen Einwohnern ist sie eine der wichtigsten Metropolen der arabischen und afrikanischen Welt. Denn Kairo ist die Welt - oder besser: Kairo ist viele Welten: Die berühmte Altstadt, auch Islamisches Kairo genannt, seit 1979 UNESCO Weltkulturerbe, birgt Schätze und Kuriositäten ägyptischer Lebens- und Architekturgeschichte. Forschende graben nun erstmalig in diesem Teil der Geschichte des Pharaonenlandes. Und die lokale Bevölkerung versucht den Spagat zwischen Erhalt jahrtausendalter Bauwerke und der Bewahrung ihrer alltäglicher Lebenskultur im mittelalterlichen Kairo. Die Stadt ist seit Jahrtausenden Zufluchtsort ausländischer Migration. So auch aktuell: Seit dem Beginn des Krieges im Sudan, im Frühjahr 2023, sind über eine Million Menschen nach Ägypten geflohen. Die meisten von ihnen nach Kairo. Oft kommen sie illegal durch die Wüste und starten hier ins Ungewisse. Gleichzeitig ist die Flucht nach Kairo die Chance eines Neubeginns. Gerade für die sudanesische Kunst- und Kulturszene, die sich hier im Exil in Ägyptens Hauptstadt, erstmalig außerhalb ihres Landes zeigt und versucht sich hier ein neues Leben aufzubauen. Der muslimische Fastenmonat Ramadan wird in Kairo wie nirgends sonst in der arabischen Welt zelebriert. Der Beginn dieses heiligen Monats ergibt sich seit Jahrhunderten aus dem islamischen Mondkalender – Beginn und Ende bestimmt der Mond. Und zentral in dieser Zeit: Das Teilen mit denen, die weniger haben. So lädt Ägyptens Metropole ein – zu entdecken, zu wachsen und von ihrem herzlichen Chaos umarmt zu werden. Für das NDR-Feature aus Kairo, hat Max-Marian Unger sechs Monate in Ägypten recherchiert.

Everyone was banking on another interest rate cut this year – but what if it never comes? In this month' Big Picture Podcast, Ken Raiss and I will unpack why the economy is running hotter than expected, and what that means for rates, housing, and your mortgage. We also explain how the Bank of Mum and Dad is helping nearly 1 in 5 first-home buyers who get financial help from their parents and what this means for housing affordability.   And we forecast how Australia's rental crisis is about to get worse as investors are leaving the market in record numbers at a time when the government has no way of achieving its big housing targets.   Takeaways  ·         The economy is running hotter than expected. ·         First home buyers are increasingly relying on parental support. ·         Government incentives are making it easier for first home buyers. ·         Investor sentiment is declining due to regulatory uncertainty. ·         The property market is expected to remain strong despite challenges. ·         Interest rates are a key factor in the housing market dynamics. ·         Strategic property investment is crucial for long-term success. ·         Times of uncertainty can create opportunities for informed investors.     Chapters  00:00 - Introduction and Overview 03:00 - Interest Rates and Economic Factors 09:00 - First Home Buyers and Family Support 15:00 - Rental Market Challenges 21:00 - Strategic Investment and Wealth Management   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·         Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's Guide to Investing Successfully ·         Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2026 and beyond.     Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to create a Strategic Property and  Wealth plan for your needs Click here and have a chat with us  https://metropole.com.au/enquiry/    Ken Raiss, Director of Metropole Wealth Advisory   Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at www.PodcastBonus.com.au   Also, please subscribe to my other 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.

However, rather than simply providing you with a number, I want to take you behind the scenes and share the principles, strategies, and mindset that have helped me achieve the financial freedom I enjoy today. We'll talk about the stages of wealth creation, the power of leverage, and the lessons I've learned—sometimes the hard way—over the last five decades in property. And joining me for this conversation is Brett Warren, Director at Metropole, who will turn the tables and ask me the questions many of you have been wondering about. And the intention of today's show is not to gloat, boast or show off, but to inspire you to build your own net worth.   Takeaways  ·         The pursuit of the easy often leads to more challenging tasks. ·         Wealth is not just about money; it includes health and relationships. ·         Net worth is a measure of financial health, not just income. ·         Investing is a long-term journey that requires patience and a strategic approach. ·         Leverage can be applied in various forms: time, relationships, mindset, and money. ·         Many investors focus too heavily on cash flow rather than asset growth. ·         A strategic plan is crucial for achieving success in property investment. ·         Mistakes in early investments can provide valuable lessons. ·         A positive mindset plays a crucial role in achieving financial success. ·         Surrounding yourself with successful individuals can accelerate your journey.   Chapters    00:00 Behind the Scenes of Financial Freedom 01:24 Understanding True Wealth 06:45 Stages of Wealth Creation 09:26 Common Misconceptions in Wealth Building 14:42 Learning from Mistakes 20:09 Mindset and Wealth Building 23:00 Taking Action Towards Wealth   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·         Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's Guide to Investing ·         Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2026 and beyond.   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

Das Thema Mülltrennung ist in vielen Ländern des globalen Südens umstritten. Die Müllberge der Großstädte bilden oft die Existenzgrundlage für die ärmsten Bevölkerungsgruppen. In Guatemala-Stadt sind mindestens dreitausend Familien auf den unsortierten Müll der Metropole angewiesen. Als die Regierung vor kurzem ein modernes Recyclinggesetz umsetzen wollte, gab es heftigen Widerstand.

What if I told you that a $1 million property today could be worth $8 million in 30 years? Sounds unbelievable, right? It's the kind of projection that makes people question whether Australia's property market can really keep growing the way it has for the past 45 years. After all, with housing affordability constantly in the headlines and talk of “property bubbles,” isn't 7% annual growth, meaning property value double every 10 years, a thing of the past? Today I'm joined by Stuart Wemyss, a respected financial advisor and author who has written an excellent blog unpacking this very topic: “Can annual property growth persist at 7%?”  It's a question he's been getting from clients, and the answer isn't as simple as yes or no. Today, we're going to explore what really drives property prices, whether growth at that rate is sustainable, and most importantly, what it means for you as a property investor in today's market.   Takeaways  ·         Property values have historically grown at about 7% annually. ·         Inflation has a significant impact on real property growth rates. ·         Not all properties will experience the same growth rates. ·         Affordability is a growing concern for first home buyers. ·         Regional markets have demonstrated resilience and growth during the COVID-19 pandemic. ·         Interest rates play a crucial role in property market dynamics. ·         Wealth transfer from baby boomers will impact property values. ·         Government incentives can create short-term price increases. ·         Investors should focus on locations with strong income growth. ·         Understanding market fundamentals is key to successful property investment.   Chapters    00:00 Understanding Property Value Growth 10:33 The Impact of Inflation on Property Prices 17:46 Regional vs. Capital City Property Markets 24:46 Factors Influencing Future Property Investments   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·         Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's Guide to Investing ·         Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2026 and beyond.     Michael Yardney – Subscribe to my Property Update newsletter here    Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us   Stuart Wemyss – Prosolution Private Clients     Get a bundle of free reports and eBooks – www.PodcastBonus.com.au Also, please subscribe to my other 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.

Have you ever wondered why some property investors seem to build multi-million-dollar portfolios while others never get past their first property—or worse, sell up within five years? It's not about luck. It's not about earning six figures. And it's definitely not about being born into money. In today's podcast, I explore the common myths surrounding wealth creation and property investment with Brett Warren You'll learn that most people are trapped by money myths - false beliefs about wealth, investing, and financial security that sound logical but quietly sabotage their success. So we explore 15 of the most common wealth myths holding Australians back. If you're serious about building financial freedom, this episode will challenge the way you think about money and give you the insights to move forward with confidence.   Takeaways  ·         Many people are held back by limiting beliefs about money. ·         Taking action is crucial for financial success. ·         Financial independence requires understanding and planning, not just a high income. ·         Debt can be a tool for wealth creation if managed properly. ·         Investing is a process that requires strategy and knowledge. ·         Mindset plays a significant role in achieving financial goals. ·         There are always opportunities in the property market, regardless of timing. ·         Diversification can lead to average outcomes; focus on mastering one area first. ·         Home equity can be leveraged to invest in additional properties. ·         Having a support team can enhance your investment journey.   Chapters    00:00 Introduction to Wealth Myths 01:33 It Takes Money to Make Money 07:31 The Role of Education in Financial Success 12:49 Which Myths Hold Us Back 14:59 The Fear of Just Being Lucky 23:49 Are All the Good Investments Already Taken?27:42 The Myth That Everything Is Wrong 31:13 The Role of Mindset   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·         Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's Guide to Investing ·         Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2026 and beyond.   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us   Michael Yardney – Subscribe to my Property Update newsletter here    Brett Warren - National Director of Property at Metropole   Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at www.PodcastBonus.com.au    Also, please subscribe to my other 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.

Er ist der wohl bekannteste deutsche Jazzmusiker der Gegenwart. Und auch, wenn seine vielen Fans von großer Wiedererkennbarkeit sprechen werden, gehört Till Brönner zu den Musikern, die sich mit ihrem Instrument und ihrer Stimme gerne mal auf neues Terrain begeben, das aktuelle Album „Italia“ zeugt davon. Er komponiert und probiert, er fotografiert und unterrichtet und: er kocht. Mit Leidenschaft und Expertise, wie Ihr auch gleich feststellen könnt. Geboren wurde Till 1971 im rheinischen Viersen, aber schon mit wenigen Wochen ging's für die Familie für ein paar Jahre in die ewige Stadt, nach Rom. Und so sprechen wir natürlich über das Flair dieser besonderen Metropole, über den Duft von Mimosen und Thai-Basilikum, darüber, wie man Mayonnaise am einfachsten selbst macht, über Oliven und Vanilleeis, Feinkostgeschäfte und Louis Armstrong, über den Zauber der perfekten Tomate und die Enttäuschung, wenn sie einfach nur nach Wasser schmeckt. Viene con me - kommt mit. *** WERBUNG Toast Hawaii wird unterstützt von dmBio, die Bio-Lebensmittelmarke von dm-drogerie markt.

In today's show Simon Kuestenmacher and I discuss the significant shift of millennials from urban living to suburban areas. We highlight how millennials are reshaping suburban culture while still valuing aspects of their urban lifestyles. This is a generation that once embraced city skylines, inner-city cafes, and the hustle of urban living, but is now packing up and heading for the burbs. But not for the white picket fence alone. We explore the reasons behind this migration, the changing dynamics of suburban life, and the challenges related to infrastructure and housing markets.   We also discuss the challenges faced by regional towns, the need for strategic planning to manage population growth, and the potential for revitalising communities through targeted migration and infrastructure development.     Takeaways  ·         Millennials are shifting from urban to suburban living, impacting housing markets. ·         Population growth is concentrated in major cities, leading to uneven development. ·         Regional towns face challenges due to aging populations and job shortages. ·         Revitalizing regional areas requires targeted migration and job creation. ·         A national demographic strategy is essential for managing population growth. ·         The two-speed economy creates social divides between urban and rural populations. ·         Infrastructure development is crucial for accommodating population growth. ·         Future planning must consider sustainable living and job opportunities in regional areas. ·         Understanding demographic trends is vital for future generations.     Chapters  02:08 Millennials: From Urbanites to Suburbanites 05:18 The Suburban Renaissance: Challenges and Opportunities 07:54 Infrastructure and Planning for the New Suburbs 10:58 Housing Market Dynamics: Millennials and Migration 14:17 The Future of Work: Hybrid Models and Urban Spaces 17:07 Government's Role in Suburban Development 20:20 Cultural Shifts: Millennials Redefining Suburban Life   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·         Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's Guide to Investing Successfully ·         Every entry receives a copy of a fully updated Michael Yardney Property Report   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us   Simon Kuestenmacher: Australia's leading demographer and partner in the Demographics Group   Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at www.PodcastBonus.com.au   Also, please subscribe to my other 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.

Australia's housing market is under pressure from many directions, but one of the most overlooked barriers is stamp duty. Once a relatively modest transaction cost, stamp duty has ballooned into one of the biggest financial hurdles for homebuyers. Just to give you an idea – in Sydney, stamp duty on a median-priced house has gone from around 45% of a household's disposable income in 2000 to 120% today. And it's not just buyers who are suffering. Stamp duty distorts housing decisions, locks people into homes that no longer suit them, and acts as a handbrake on productivity. Today, I'm joined by Dr Nicola Powell, Chief of Research and Economics at Domain, whose recent report makes a compelling case for replacing stamp duty with a fairer, broad-based land tax. Whether you're a property investor, a home buyer, or just somebody who's interested in the housing markets, I'm sure today's chat with Dr Nicola Powell will give you a new perspective as I also want to discuss their latest report on who has profited from property over the last few years.   Takeaways  ·         A growth mindset is essential for success in property investment. ·         Stamp duty presents significant financial barriers for home buyers and investors. ·         The burden of stamp duty has increased over time, affecting housing mobility. ·         Capital gains tax on family homes could discourage movement and exacerbate housing issues. ·         Stamp duty is economically inefficient, costing more in lost activity than it raises. ·         Housing misallocation is a significant issue in Australia, with many living in homes that exceed their needs. ·         Consumer confidence is a key driver of property market trends and price growth. ·         Longer holding periods for properties generally lead to greater capital gains. ·         Location plays a crucial role in property investment success. ·         Reform of stamp duty is necessary for improving housing mobility and economic productivity.     Chapters  01:58 Introduction 05:14 Australians Holding Their Homes for Longer 08:07 How Stamp Duty Deters People from Moving 09:56 The Inefficiency of a Stamp Duty 11:34 The Caveats of a Stamp Duty Reform 14:02 Recent Domain Report Results 18:35 The Confidence has Come Back into the Market   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·         Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's Guide to Investing Successfully.  Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2026 and beyond.     Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us   Michael Yardney – Subscribe to my Property Update newsletter here   Dr Nicola Powell, Chief of Research and Economics at Domain  https://www.domain.com.au/news/author/dr-nicola-powell/   Domain's property profit and loss report:https://www.domain.com.au/research/profit-and-loss-report-1410018/ Domain's Stamp Duty suggestions: https://propertyupdate.com.au/stamp-duty-is-holding-australia-back-why-we-need-bold-reform/?   Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at www.PodcastBonus.com.au     Also, please subscribe to my other 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.

This winter has shaped up as the strongest property market we've seen in a long time, with strong buyer activity and rising confidence cutting through the usual seasonal slowdown. In today's show Dr. Andrew Wilson and I discuss how results have been far from uniform – Sydney is surging ahead with particularly strong performance, while conditions across the other capitals are more varied, reminding us just how segmented Australia's housing markets really are. We explore the impact of government initiatives for first home buyers, the performance of various regional markets, and the implications of inflation and interest rates on housing prices. The conversation concludes with an optimistic outlook for the housing market as it heads into the spring selling season.   Takeaways  ·         Interest rates have been cut, leading to increased buyer activity. ·         The property market is fragmented, with varying performance across regions. ·         Government schemes for first home buyers are expected to boost demand. ·         Brisbane is showing extraordinary growth in property prices. ·         Melbourne's market is recovering, particularly in the prestige segment. ·         Inflation concerns may impact future interest rate decisions. ·         The spring selling season is typically the strongest for property sales. ·         Lower interest rates are driving positive growth in the housing market. ·         The national median house price has seen consistent monthly rises. ·         Market conditions suggest a potential for double-digit growth in some areas.     Chapters  01:07 Introduction 01:45 Introduction to the Winter Property Market 04:02 Quarterly Median House Prices 09:57 Quarterly Median Unit Prices 13:02 First Home Owner Deposit Scheme 14:39 Property Values Forecast 17:14 Conclusions and Future Predictions   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·         Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's Guide to Investing. ·          Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2026 and beyond.   Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at www.PodcastBonus.com.au   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us   Michael Yardney – Subscribe to my Property Update newsletter here    Also, please subscribe to my other 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.

Today I'm joined by Ross Elli, a respected urban thinker and commentator, and we discuss something most politicians and planners are ignoring: the danger of concentrating 70% of Australia's population into just eight capital cities, and doing it without a real plan. We explore the challenges of infrastructure, the concept of the missing middle in housing, and the need for a national settlement strategy to address the growing population and its impact on quality of life.   Whether you're a property investor, policymaker, or simply someone sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic wondering where it all went wrong, this episode of the Michael Yardney Podcast is going to challenge the way you think about growth, planning, and the future of our cities.   Takeaways  ·         Australia's population growth is concentrated in a few major cities. ·         High-density living does not necessarily reduce traffic congestion. ·         There is a significant gap in housing supply and demand. ·         The concept of the 'missing middle' in housing is contentious. ·         Infrastructure development has not kept pace with population growth. ·         Regional centers can offer a better quality of life than major cities. ·         Government policies need to address urban planning holistically. ·         Decentralization strategies have not been effectively implemented in Australia. ·         Community opposition often hinders new housing developments. ·         A national settlement strategy is essential for sustainable growth.   Chapters    00:00 The Urban Dilemma: Population Growth and Infrastructure 07:31 The Myths of Density and Urban Planning 12:38 The Missing Middle: Densification Challenges 17:55 Regional Opportunities: Rethinking Settlement Strategies 23:08 Decentralization: Lessons from the Past 28:18 Future Visions: A Balanced Australia   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·         Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's Guide to Investing.

Have you ever looked at a tired old property and thought, “There's potential there,” but weren't quite sure what to do with it? Well, today's show could be the spark you need. Because we're talking about one of the most powerful – and underutilised – strategies for building wealth through property: strategic renovation. In a world where construction costs are soaring and affordability is stretched, more investors are realising that they don't have to wait for the market to deliver capital growth – they can manufacture it themselves. And joining me to unpack this is Greg Hankinson – property renovations and development expert and director of Metropole Developments. Greg's seen it all – from simple kitchen facelifts to full-scale value-add renovations through to medium density developments, and he's here to share his experience, tips, and insights to help you make your next investment a profitable one. We talk through the key fundamentals of a profitable renovation, how to assess a property's potential, the pros and cons of reno vs. new build, and how many successful developers started by simply buying, renovating, and holding.   Takeaways  ·         You can create wealth through renovations, not just market appreciation. ·         The renovation process requires careful planning and understanding of costs. ·         Successful renovations can lead to significant increases in property value. ·         It's essential to identify properties with renovation potential. ·         Avoid common mistakes like overcapitalizing or DIYing without experience. ·         Understanding local regulations and permits is crucial for renovations. ·         Market conditions can affect the feasibility of renovation projects. ·         Investing in renovations can provide better rental yields and lower vacancy rates. ·         A strategic approach to property investment is necessary for long-term success.   Chapters  00:00 Unlocking Property Potential through Strategic Renovations 01:56 Introduction to Renovations and Property Development 04:43 Understanding the Profitability of Renovations 10:12 Financing Renovations and Building Equity 12:29 Common Mistakes in Renovation Projects 17:57 Assessing Renovation Potential in Properties 20:36 Opportunities in the Current Market 23:15 Conclusion and Future Steps in Property Development   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·         Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's Guide to Investing ·         Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2026 and beyond   Join us at the Ultimate Property Development Workshop in Melbourne on November 8th Click here for all the details https://realestateworkshop.com.au/   Greg Hankinson -  Director, Metropole Constructions    Interested in getting involved at the “wholesale” end of the property market?
