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.

Let's be honest — if our politicians really wanted housing to be affordable, it would be by now. They've had decades to fix it. There have been inquiries, commissions, roundtables, and billions thrown at so-called "affordability schemes." And yet, what do we have? Record house prices, record rents, and a generation of young Aussies wondering if they'll ever own a home. Maybe — just maybe — that's not an accident. In today's Big Picture episode, Ken Raiss and I unpack why the housing affordability crisis isn't a policy failure... it's the system working exactly as designed. We'll explore why politicians can't afford for property prices to fall, how government policy quietly rewards property owners, and what that means for investors like you.   Takeaways  ·         Housing affordability remains a critical issue in Australia. ·         Government policies often prioritize property value stability over affordability. ·         Cultural perceptions link home ownership to success in Australia. ·         A significant percentage of politicians own property, influencing housing policies. ·         Consumer confidence is low despite some economic improvements. ·         Investors should focus on strategic property purchases. ·         Wealth advisory services can help investors navigate complex markets. ·         Economic uncertainty can create opportunities for savvy investors. ·         Long-term planning is essential for property investment success. ·         Education and preparation are key for investors to capitalize on market changes.     Chapters  02:07 - Why Politicians Can't Afford for Property Prices to Fall  04:59 - How Government Taxes Depend on Rising Property Values  06:50 - Banks, Confidence and the Economy Built on Housing  09:05 - Cultural Bias: Homeownership as the Core of Australia's Identity  12:11 - Why 94% of Politicians Own Property and Won't Change the Rules    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 http://michaelyardney.com/   Get the team at Metropole Wealth Advisory to create a Strategic Wealth plan for your needs Click here and have a chat with us   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.

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.

Too many investors treat property as a one-size-fits-all game – and that's why half of all new property investors sell up within five years.   In today's episode, I'm joined by Brett Warren, National Director of Property at Metropole, to talk about how to invest wisely at every age and stage of life – and the timeless fundamentals that apply no matter when you begin.   We also outline the four distinct stages of property investment and provide insights on achieving financial freedom.   Whether you're starting out or consolidating for retirement, this conversation will help you plan smarter and avoid the mistakes most investors make.   Takeaways  ·         Investing in property is a long-term journey, not a transaction. ·         Different life stages require different investment strategies. ·         Education and financial literacy are crucial for success. ·         Having a strong team of advisors is essential. ·         Avoid emotional buying and focus on long-term growth. ·         Understand the importance of capital growth over cash flow. ·         Recognize the common mistakes made by investors at various stages. ·         Time in the market is more important than timing the market. ·         Establish a financial buffer to weather market cycles. ·         Success in property investment leads to financial freedom and choices.     Chapters  02:27 - Core Fundamentals: Education, Strategy and the Right Team  08:42 - Myths, Contrarian Views and the Role of AI in Data  13:04 - In Your 20s: Time Advantage, Rentvesting and First Home Buyer Grants  19:22 - In Your 30s–40s: Career Growth, Family Needs and Investment Choices  25:18 - In Your 50s: Peak Earnings, Equity Use and Diversification 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.

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. Yet, at the same time, buyer demand is powering ahead, clearance rates are hitting multi-year highs, and spring is shaping up to be supercharged. How can both of these things be true? And what does it mean for you – whether you're buying, renting, or investing? Today I'm going to sit down with Dr. Nicola Powell, Domain's Chief of Research and Economics to unpack their latest affordability report and market insights. Today's episode of the Michael Yardney Podcast is a conversation you don't want to miss if you want to get some clarity on what's going on in our housing market.   Takeaways  ·         The typical household now takes longer to save for a deposit. ·         First home buyer grants are changing the market dynamics. ·         Younger Australians are facing significant barriers to home ownership. ·         Affordability is reshaping buyer demand and preferences. ·         There is a notable shift towards multi-generational living arrangements. ·         Auction clearance rates indicate a positive market momentum. ·         The rental market remains competitive for tenants. ·         Days on market for properties are stretching in some areas. ·         Investors are returning to the market with confidence. ·         Market conditions are uneven across different cities.     Chapters  02:05 - Affordability Crisis: Eight Years to Save a Deposit  04:29 - First Home Buyer Schemes Reshape Market Demand  05:53 - Generational Divide in Home Ownership Rates  08:38 - Buyer Search Trends: Granny Flats and Heritage Homes  13:33 - Supercharged Spring Market and Days on Market Shifts   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    Domain reports: 1.     Domain's key words and hotspot report. https://www.domain.com.au/research/this-springs-housing-buzz-top-keywords-homes-hotspots-1427073/     2.     Affordability at breaking point. https://www.domain.com.au/research/the-home-ownership-puzzle-affordability-at-breaking-point-1423719/   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.

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.

In today's podcast, we are going to do something a little different. You see, one of the common questions I get asked is, “Michael, what's your net worth?” It's a question people are curious about—and I get why. 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.

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 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?

Imagine inviting thousands of people to a party… but forgetting to organise enough food, chairs, or bathrooms. That's essentially what Australia is doing by ramping up migration while failing to plan for the housing and infrastructure to support it. Today, Simon Kuestenmacher and I discuss why we can't keep separating housing policy from migration policy. The conversation around our housing crisis is often framed around interest rates, investors, or planning delays. But there's a critical dimension we keep avoiding: Australia's housing and migration policies are completely out of sync, and this is causing systemic damage.   Takeaways  ·         Australia is experiencing a housing crisis due to rapid migration without adequate infrastructure. ·         Every decision contributes to the future we build, akin to laying bricks in a house. ·         The disconnect between housing and migration policies is creating significant challenges. ·         Young people and low-income earners are increasingly priced out of the housing market. ·         Government policies need to be proactive rather than reactive to address housing shortages. ·         The current planning system is outdated and hinders timely housing development. ·         Property taxes are a major contributor to housing unaffordability. ·         A national housing target linked to migration levels could stabilize the market. ·         Lessons from other countries show the importance of strategic migration policies. ·         Long-term planning is essential for sustainable urban development and infrastructure.     Chapters  00:00 - Migration Without Infrastructure 04:01 - What's been happening to immigration 08:43 - Property Taxes 09:00 - Housing Affordability Crisis 15:48 - Housing Demand Caused by the Migration 24:52 - Infrastructure Planning Area 33:55 - 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.

Have you noticed how Australia's property market seems to have roared back to life recently? After a sluggish 2024, Domain's latest House Price Report shows all eight capital cities recorded house price growth in the June quarter – for the first time in four years. And it's not just houses. Unit prices are surging too, often outpacing houses as buyers chase affordability. So what's behind this rebound? Rate cuts, increased demand, and a lingering supply shortage have all played a role. But is this recovery sustainable? Will further rate cuts continue to fuel prices, or are there headwinds ahead? To help us unpack this, I'm joined by Dr Nicola Powell, Chief of Research and Economics at Domain.  She'll share insights from Domain's June Quarter House Price Report and explain what these trends mean for buyers, sellers, and investors alike. Whether you're a homeowner, an investor, or simply keeping an eye on the market, you'll want to hear what Dr Powell has to say.   Takeaways  ·         Most people only realise the market's turned too late. ·         All eight capital cities recorded house price growth in the June quarter. ·         The turnaround in auction conditions has been very evident across Sydney and Melbourne. ·         First home buyers are looking towards units in Sydney due to affordability. ·         Melbourne's housing market is showing signs of recovery after years of lagging. ·         Brisbane's unit prices are outperforming house prices, indicating a shift in buyer preference. ·         Canberra is on a pathway to recovery, with modest price increases. ·         Every state goes through its cycle, affecting property values differently. ·         Rate cuts are expected to boost buyer confidence and market activity. ·         Understanding local market dynamics is crucial for property investment.   Chapters  00:00 - Introduction to Market Trends 02:15 - Sustainability of the current market recovery and future predictions. 13:30 - Sydney and Melbourne Market Analysis 17:00 - Brisbane and Adelaide Market Trends 20:45 - Canberra and Perth Market Updates 24:00 - Conclusion and Future Outlook   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·         Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's Guide to Investment ·         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/ Domian Property June Quarter House Price Report:  https://www.domain.com.au/research/house-price-report/june-2025/   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.

There’s been a growing narrative in the media painting property investors as greedy landlords and scapegoats for the housing crisis. But when you look beyond the headlines, the truth tells a very different story. Today, I sit down with Michael Yardney, one of Australia’s leading property strategists, to unpack the real numbers, the overlooked facts, and the critical role investors play in our housing system. Together, we break down why more Australians are choosing to rent—even when they can afford to buy—and how ‘mum and dad’ investors are stepping in to provide housing where government supply falls short. We also dive into the $40 billion in taxes property investors contribute every year, including GST, stamp duty, land tax, and council rates. This isn’t about rorting the system—it’s about funding it. If you’re a property investor, a first home buyer, or just someone curious about the housing debate, this episode will challenge your thinking and offer real insight into what’s going on.

In this episode of the Michael Yardney podcast, I discuss the current state of the housing market with Dr. Nicola Powell, Chief of Research and Economics. We explore the impact of federal elections on housing predictions, the effects of political uncertainty, and the concept of Solomon's Paradox in decision-making.  Our conversation also delves into the differences in housing policies between political parties, the ongoing supply and demand issues in the market, and the opportunities available in established properties. The episode concludes with insights on market trends and the importance of making property decisions based on personal circumstances rather than external noise.  Takeaways: The housing market is influenced by federal elections. Rate cuts can improve buyer sentiment and inquiry. Solomon's Paradox highlights our decision-making flaws. Political uncertainty can delay property transactions. Auction outcomes can be surprisingly positive on election days. Labour governments tend to support first home buyers more. Supply issues are a significant challenge in the housing market. Established properties are often undervalued compared to new builds. Market cycles will continue despite political changes. Personal circumstances should guide property investment decisions.

In this episode of the Michael Yardney podcast, I discuss the intricacies of property investment and finance with expert Hung Chuy. We explore the importance of mindset, the role of brokers, and the complexities of managing a property portfolio.   Key topics include understanding interest rates, debt recycling, and the unique challenges of commercial property financing. The conversation emphasizes the need for strategic financial planning and the benefits of using multiple lenders to maximize investment opportunities.   Takeaways  Property investment is fundamentally a finance game. The first arrow represents unavoidable pain, while the second arrow is our response to it. Choosing the right broker can significantly impact your investment success. Interest rates are important, but flexibility in borrowing is crucial. Debt recycling can help turn non-deductible debt into tax-deductible debt. Managing a property portfolio requires careful planning and strategy. Commercial property financing involves more complexities than residential financing. Self-managed super funds have specific borrowing criteria that differ from personal loans. Using multiple lenders can provide better opportunities for equity and borrowing. Mindset plays a critical role in navigating financial challenges.

It’s very easy to get sucked into property market predictions continuously getting pumped out by the media! Today, I’ve brought Michael Yardney back on the show. With 50 years of investing experience, he’s seen more market cycles than most and knows what to pay attention to. We’ll break down the biggest property myths and predictions that experts will get wrong this year. Investing in property is one of the best ways to build wealth—but only if you do it right. The problem? Most investors get it wrong by following short-term hype instead of long-term strategy. With so many "experts" giving conflicting advice, it's easy to feel lost. If you want to avoid costly mistakes and build real wealth, this episode is a must-listen. Let’s go inside!

It's customary at the end of the year to look back at the year that was and then look forward to making some predictions for our housing markets for the year ahead, and in today's show, Dr Andrew Wilson and I explore the trends that will shape the property markets in 2025.    Takeaways        The housing market in 2024 has been consolidating after a strong rebound in 2023. 2025 is likely to be a year of 2 halves, and the markets will rebound when interest rates fall.        Melbourne's property market is underperforming compared to other capitals but offers significant future opportunities as you can buy well located properties with substantial built in equity.        Interest rates will likely remain steady till the middle of 2025, impacting buyer activity and market sentiment.        Over 2024, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide property markets grew strongly and attracted investors, often buying secondary properties sight unseen        Rental growth has slowed due to affordability barriers, but vacancy rates remain extremely low.        Investors are returning to the market, particularly in states with strong capital growth.        The economic outlook remains positive, supporting housing market stability in 2025.        Local factors will drive price growth in 2025, rather than national trends.        Understanding demographic trends is crucial for property investors.        A strategic property plan can help investors navigate the current market conditions with more certainty.   Chapters 01:24 Year in Review: Housing Market Insights 04:16 Trends and Predictions for 2025 07:31 Regional Market Dynamics: Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide 10:19 Melbourne's Market Challenges and Opportunities 13:15 Interest Rates: Current Landscape and Future Outlook 16:10 Investor Behavior and Market Shifts 19:21 Rental Market Trends and Affordability Issues 22:14 Investment Opportunities in a Changing Market 25:04 Consolidation and Future Growth Prospects 32:16 Introduction to Property Investment Trends 36:14 Introduction to Real Estate Investment 36:15 Understanding Market Trends and Analysis 37:39 Special Offers and Resources for Listeners 39:02 Understanding Property Investment Strategies   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  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: Looking Back, Leaping Forward: Dr. Andrew Wilson's Predictions for 2025

Welcome to another Big Picture episode of the Michael Yardney podcast, where I chat with leading financial commentator Pete Wargent.

As usual, there are clues in the news as to what's ahead for our economy and our housing markets and we discuss a raft of macro and microeconomic factors that should give you some clues as to what's ahead for our housing markets. Housing Market Hurdles and Economic Trends in Australia We discuss: ●        The May inflation figures and their potential impact on future interest rate hikes ●        How government spending, particularly federal and state budgets, is contributing to inflation ●        Rising living costs and electricity prices and their effects on spending habits across different demographics ●        Challenges faced by the Australian government's target to build 1.2 million homes by 2029 o   High cash rates o   Reduced investor interest o   Soaring construction costs ●        Comparing current construction trends to peak periods like 2017 ●        The roles of foreign buyers in the market ●        Insights from Pete's book, The Buy Right Approach to Property Investing Mastering the Skills to Invest Wisely in Properties.

The Reserve Bank wants that, but that may slow inflationary pressures down a little bit. But there's still jobs out there if you're wanting them.” – Michael Yardney “The message here is most of the critics actually sit on the sidelines.
