Should you hold off on buying until the property market cools… or is waiting the real mistake? We’ve all heard the classic “just wait two years, prices will drop” advice, but what if that never actually happens and you’ve in a worse position? This week we’re unpacking the market peak panic and what it actually means for you if you’re trying to buy right now. Then, we dive into a community DM about a partner with $40k of debt and zero urgency to pay it down. Is that just a personal choice, or a financial dealbreaker waiting to happen? But it’s not just big dilemmas on the table, we’ve also got clever money wins you’ll want to steal, broke tips that actually work, and a few confessions that prove none of us have it all together.

This episode is sponsored by Arrow Global and first appeared on The PERE Podcast Germany's property market is facing the highest insolvency rate in Europe. Years of cheap credit and rising prices encouraged aggressive development, but when interest rates jumped, buyers paused, sales collapsed and projects ran out of cash. The result: a wave of bankruptcies across the sector. However, in this episode, CEO of Arrow Global Germany Bernhard Hansen explains that there's opportunity within this dislocation. Stalled projects and smaller developments are waiting for investors with the expertise and capital to finish them. With housing demand far outpacing supply, especially in cities like Munich, he believes there is still strong long-term potential. That potential of course comes with challenges: stricter sustainability rules, tougher financing conditions, and wary buyers mean projects take longer and require deeper due diligence. Yet Hansen is optimistic. International investors and alternative lenders are stepping in, and he says the correction is less of an ending, and more of a recalibration of Germany's real estate market.

It’s back to the real estate sector today as we speak to an SGX-listed REIT focused on commercial properties in Europe. Founded in 2017, Stoneweg Europe Stapled Trust is a stapled group that comprises Stoneweg E-REIT and Stoneweg European Business Trust. You might better know the REIT by its old name Cromwell European REIT before it was bought over by alternative investment group Icona Capital and real estate investment group Stoneweg for 280 million euros or S$395.5 million just a couple of months ago. Cromwell European REIT was renamed as Stoneweg European Reit at the start of 2025, and later converted into a stapled group in June 2025. Today, the stapled trust has a principal mandate to invest be it directly or indirectly in income-producing commercial real estate assets across Europe. In particular, the trust needs to maintain a minimum portfolio weighting of at least 75% to Western Europe and at least 75% to the light industrial or logistics and office sectors. On top of that, the trust also takes on asset enhancement and redevelopment projects for existing office assets, with a focus on strong ESG credentials in prime and core locations within key European gateway cities. On the whole, its portfolio value stands at around 2.2 billion euros, with over 100 predominantly freehold properties across major cities in key markets such as The Netherlands, Italy, France, Poland, Germany, Finland, Denmark and the UK. The total lettable area comes in at around 1.7 million square metres and its client base – over 800 tenant customers. Now, why are we speaking to Stoneweg Europe Stapled Trust you might ask? Well, we want to find out how the firm assessed its financial performance for the first half of 2025, as well as how its strategy has evolved through its stapled structure. But on top of that we also wanted to find out more about the outlook of the European office and logistics property market amid macroeconomic headwinds arising from US tariffs. On Under the Radar, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Simon Garing, CEO and Executive Director, Stoneweg Europe Stapled Trust.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Singapore’s property market, the search for a new home can often feel like navigating a maze. Even as digital transformation sweeps across industries, real estate remains stubbornly fragmented, leaving users to fill in the gaps themselves. Enter Kucing, a quietly disruptive proptech startup aiming to change the game. Rather than just being another listings site, Kucing positions itself as Singapore’s first real estate co-pilot. So what does a ‘real estate co-pilot’ really mean for users? How can a single platform change the way buyers, sellers and agents experience the property market? On The Right Business, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Mathieu Goarant, Co-Founder of Kucing, to find out more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

Refinancing activity is continuing to surge as the Official Cash Rate continues to fall. Latest Centrix figures show mortgage enquiries are up 16% for the month of July and new mortgage lending rose almost 25%. Chief Operating Officer Monika Lacey says the market is active at the moment and people are keen to get the best deal they can. She told Mike Hosking that about 36% of fixed mortgages are set to roll off in the next six months, so that's quite a bit of activity that will start to flow through. Lacey says it should result in a bit more cash in people's pockets. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

UK PROPERTY MARKET WEEKLY UPDATE — Week 33, 2025 Welcome to the 33rd UK Property Market Stats Show of 2025 — your go-to weekly YouTube ‘TV Programme' on the UK property market. This week, I'm joined by Iain McKenzie, the boss of the 800 Estate Agent network, The Guild of Property Professionals, as we unpack the key headlines from the 33rd week of 2025, ending Sunday, 24th August 2025 ▶️ Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/7XlWNAto-qI

Send Us A Message! Let us know what you think.Will New Zealand's economy really outperform Australia over the next few years? And what does this mean for property investors and first-home buyers?In this episode, Paul from Property Apprentice breaks down:Why Westpac expects NZ to outpace Australia economicallyHow OCR cuts and affordability improvements are creating a unique buying windowWhy Sydney's $1.7M median price makes NZ property look affordableWhat the next 6–12 months could mean for buyers, investors, and upgradersWhy NOW is the time to plan before the market heats up againThe Reserve Bank of New Zealand has already dropped the OCR by 250 basis points, with more cuts likely before year-end. Meanwhile, housing affordability has improved significantly—from 57% to 44% of median household income. But this window won't last as demand from buyers and investors picks up.If you've been waiting to make a move in property, now is the time to get advice and prepare.

For a long time to buy a home in Australia you needed a 20 per cent deposit or you'd have to pay a big lender's mortgage insurance fee.It's asking a lot, given house prices in our major cities are around the million-dollar mark or more. This week, the government expanded a five per cent deposit scheme for first home buyers, with no income caps and more expensive homes now eligible. Today, finance expert Alan Kohler on how it works, what it means for house prices and why he's a huge fan of the scheme. Featured: Alan Kohler, ABC finance expert

Lower mortgage rates and income growth have helped improve housing affordability. Cotality NZ's new report finds the national value-to-income ratio reached its lowest point since mid-2019 in the June quarter, at 7.5%. National property values also remain almost 17% below their post-covid peak. Cotality Chief Property Economist Kelvin Davidson told Mike Hosking mortgage serviceability has seen a significant change, compared to its 2022 high of 57%. He says it now takes around 44% of the median household income, so it's getting close to normal. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Zealand's on track for stronger economic growth but it could take a while to flow through to house prices. Westpac is forecasting New Zealand will outpace Australia's growth over the next few years. But New Zealand will still face a higher unemployment rate and lower wage growth, and the recovery's likely to be felt in some regions much sooner than others. Former Finance Minister Steven Joyce told Mike Hosking property will be the last sector to see a turnaround. He says New Zealand saw property prices go up 40% during the boom, compared to a 30% rise in Australia. Joyce says it'll be an export-led recovery – something we haven't had for a while. He says with an export-led recovery, Auckland feels it later than other regions, which is what we're seeing now. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community Headlines say New Zealand’s housing market has “crashed.” Prices are down from their 2021 peak, and the story is making waves across the Tasman. But does it really signal danger for Australian property investors... or is there more to the story? This week, we’re unpacking the reality behind the headlines, and what it means for Australia’s property outlook.

With the property market still slow, one divorce coach has told RNZ that it means some people, who've separated are still stuck living together. Money correspondent Susan Edmunds spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Simon examines property market crashes and the potential financial pitfalls that can arise, such as negative equity and losses on investments. Drawing from personal experiences over 30 years of property investing, he shares insights on the 2007 market boom and subsequent crash, highlighting the importance of positive cash flow and strategic decision-making. KEY TAKEAWAYS The property market can experience significant fluctuations, as seen during the 2007-2009 financial crisis. It's crucial to recognise that property values can decrease, leading to situations like negative equity. Always prioritise properties that generate positive cash flow. This ensures that even during market downturns, you can maintain ownership without the need to sell under pressure. To mitigate losses during a market crash, plan to hold properties for the long term. Selling during a downturn often results in financial losses, while holding allows for potential recovery as the market improves. Everyone in property investment will encounter challenges and losses. It's essential to learn from these experiences, whether they are your own or those of others, to make informed decisions in the future. BEST MOMENTS "I've made some mistakes. I've lost some money on some deals. Now, obviously, I've made more than I've lost overall." "The only people who lose money when the property market comes down are people who have to sell." "If you're following the five golden rules from Property Magic, you can rent it out and make cash flow. We don't need to sell." "It's important to learn from mistakes. It's better to learn from someone else's mistakes rather than learning from yours."

The cost of New Zealand's homes are beginning to fall. The latest QV Quarterly data reveals that average prices have fallen by 0.5% over the three months to July. Auckland is down by 1.2%, while Queenstown and Invercargill continue to rise by 2.4% and 1.2% respectively. The average price is now 13.1% cheaper than the artificial Covid peak in 2021. Brad Olsen, Infometrics' Principal Economist, told Mike Hosking with about half a year's worth of sales currently on the market, there's a lot of supply. On the flip side, he says there aren't as many buyers, with employment uncertainty and the hit many people's KiwiSavers took earlier in the year influencing buying habits.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Phil Tarrant sits down with Theo Chambers, CEO of Shore Financial, to break down the forces shaping investor sentiment in 2025. From rate pause surprises to a dwindling investor pool, Phil shares his reflections on a market that's increasingly hard to read, before unpacking the state of advice in the property space, warning of the rise of unqualified buyer's agents steering investors into risky territory. The pair discuss why investor confidence is slipping, the risks of poor advice, and how policy settings, particularly in Victoria, are driving investors away from traditional hotspots. Phil also opens up about his own strategy: why diversification, timing, and market cycles matter more than ever, and how commercial property is reshaping what “smart investing” really looks like in 2025.
