The Michael Yardney Podcast | Property Investment, Success & Money
For decades we've celebrated rising house prices in Australia. If your home was worth more this year than last, life felt a bit easier. Politicians were happy, banks were happy, homeowners were happy. But after 50 years of almost uninterrupted price growth, we need to ask a harder question: Is it actually good for us if housing just keeps getting more expensive? The answer, of course, depends on who you are. Because rising prices have created a lot of winners in Australia: homeowners, investors, banks, governments, tradies, and retailers. But they've also created a growing group of losers – renters, younger Australians, essential workers, small businesses, and even the future middle class. So today leading demographer Simon Kuestenmacher and I discuss the question question almost no one in property likes to touch – not "will housing prices keep rising?" but "how expensive do we actually want housing to be?" Takeaways House prices double every decade. Homeowners and banks benefit from rising values. First home buyers face hidden costs. Government policies sustain high prices. Demographics reshape housing market. Property prices are political choices. Sustainable growth beats boom cycles. Baby boomer exits affect prices. Wealth disparity impacts society. Strategic planning ensures property wealth.

Real Estate guru Tom Panos weighs in on property prices cooling and auction volume dropping off the back of the federal budget last week. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this episode of Geared for Growth, Mike Mortlock is joined by Simon Pressley, Head of Property Market Research at Propertyology and one of Australia's most outspoken voices on property fundamentals. Fresh off the back of the Federal Budget, Simon cuts through the noise to challenge the idea that policy changes meaningfully shift long-term property outcomes. Instead, he reframes the conversation entirely, arguing that most investors are focusing on the wrong drivers altogether.

National home prices have recorded the slowest growth in more than a year, rising just 0.3 per cent in April.
In this episode of The REconomy Podcast™, Deputy Chief Economist Odeta Kushi and Senior Commercial Economist Xander Snyder unpack the seemingly conflicting signals emerging from retail property price data in early 2026. They examine why one major retail price index suggested prices were softening, even as broader price-per-square-foot measures remained more stable. While the softer repeat sales read may initially suggest weakening, the broader evidence points to a more nuanced story. Don't miss a single REconomy episode, subscribe today.

If you're feeling uncertain about what's really going on in the property market right now… you're not alone. Because the biggest challenge facing our housing markets today isn't interest rates, inflation, or even affordability… It's uncertainty. We've got multiple forces all moving at once - some pushing prices higher, others working against them - and for many investors, that's making it harder than ever to form a clear view of what comes next. And yet… despite all that… property prices are still rising. So what's really going on? In this episode, Dr. Andrew Wilson and I delve into the resilience of Australia's property market amidst economic uncertainty. We discuss the surprising multi-month streak of property price growth and its underlying factors. We explore regional variations, focusing on Sydney, Melbourne, and the growth in smaller capitals. Additionally, we analyze the impact of high construction costs and material prices on future supply. Join us as we provide insights to help you make informed investment decisions in these challenging times. Takeaways Property prices continue to rise despite economic challenges.

AI is rapidly changing how people invest in real estate, but is it actually helping investors or misleading them?In this episode, we break down the reality of AI in property investing, and whether it is truly predicting growth or simply amplifying demand and inflating prices in certain suburbs. Most investors rely on AI tools, suburb reports, and hotspot lists, but the data shows something surprising. In many cases, these predictions underperform the market, meaning you could be better off making random investment decisions than blindly following AI-driven insights. We cover:Why AI cannot accurately predict property hotspotsThe truth about suburb vs street-level investingHow buyer demand is being concentrated artificiallyWhy median prices and vacancy rates are misleadingThe danger of “hot suburb” lists and hype cyclesHow large buyer groups and agencies can influence local marketsThe shift from reactive investing to predictive data-driven strategiesOne of the biggest takeaways is this: Property markets are no longer moving at suburb level. The real growth happens at the street and micro-location level, where up to 97% of properties move together in the same direction. At the same time, AI tools like ChatGPT are designed to generate content, not predict investment outcomes. They are great at storytelling, but poor at forecasting real estate performance.This creates a dangerous situation where investors follow trends, headlines, and AI-generated insights, leading to:Overpaying for propertiesEntering markets too lateFalling into hype-driven growth cyclesIf you are investing in Australian property in 2026, this episode will completely change how you think about:AI property investing, suburb growth, real estate data, and market cycles.

The Elephant In The Room Property Podcast | Inside Australian Real Estate
When we talk about Australia's housing crisis, interest rates and investors dominate the conversation—but the real drivers run deeper.In this episode, we unpack how Australian housing policy—particularly zoning and planning reform—is shaping the housing supply crisis, and whether strategic planning reform can genuinely improve affordability without destabilising the market.We explore the economics behind land scarcity, why middle suburbs have become effectively “locked up,” and how allowing three storey townhouses and gentle density could reshape housing supply. Brendan breaks down what broad upzoning actually means in practice, how Victoria and NSW are approaching reform differently, and whether these changes meaningfully shift feasibility for developers.For investors, this raises the bigger question: if scarcity underpins capital growth, what happens when supply constraints are relaxed? Does planning reform erode returns—or simply create a more functional market?If you care about Australian housing affordability, the housing supply crisis, or the long-term fundamentals of property investment, this episode cuts through the politics and gets to the economics.Episode Highlights03:28 — It's Planning Bans, Not Approval Delays05:58 — The Real Demand for Missing Middle Housing09:01 — Melbourne's Affordability Trade-Off Explained13:30 — Development Costs and Feasibility Realities15:31 — The Hidden Zoning Tax on Housing Supply18:06 — Why Townhouses Beat High-Rise in Suburbs21:36 — The Economics of Three-Storey Townhouses24:38 — Land Size, Lot Layouts and Buyer Preferences26:26 — Property Advice and Strategic Thinking27:33 — Sydney vs Melbourne: A Zoning Divide29:01 — NIMBY Politics and the Density Debate34:02 — Can Builders Deliver More Townhouses?38:15 — What Global Upzoning Success Looks Like39:12 — Unlocking Australia's Locked-Up Suburbs44:04 — Stamp Duty and Why People Don't Move48:45 — The Big Property Lesson from This Debate49:49 — Final Takeaways and Listener QuestionsLinksPlanning better cities - Grattan InstituteMore homes, better cities: Letting more people live where they wantAbout the GuestBrendan Coates is a leading housing and economic policy expert specialising in Australian housing policy and structural reform.

Have you ever looked at today's property prices and wondered, How is this even possible? How can values keep climbing when interest rates are still high, affordability is stretched to breaking point, and so many Australians feel locked out of the market? You're not alone. It feels counterintuitive. It feels unfair. And for many, it feels completely unsustainable. But here's the uncomfortable truth about our housing market - and it's the part most people don't want to hear. Property prices don't rise because the average Australian can afford them. They rise because the marginal buyer – the person actually able to transact today – can. And right now, that marginal buyer looks very different from the one we had even a decade ago. Takeaways · Property prices are rising due to the marginal buyer's ability to transact. · Wealthy buyers are dominating the market, driving prices up. · Downsizers are reshaping the market by purchasing debt-free properties. · Government incentives are pushing more buyers into the market. · Buyers are adapting by compromising on location and property type. · Structural under supply is a significant factor in rising prices. · Affordability issues are sidelining some buyers but not all. · The Bank of Mum and Dad is a major influence in property transactions. · Investors need to focus on quality assets in gentrifying suburbs. · Long-term market predictions indicate continued price growth despite challenges. Chapters 00:00 Why prices keep rising despite poor affordability. 04:30 Who the real marginal buyers are today. 08:20 Downsizers, cash buyers and the Bank of Mum & Dad reshape demand. 12:30 First-home-buyer incentives push prices, not affordability. 16:00 Behaviour shifts: units, townhouses, rent-vesting. 19:30 Structural undersupply ensures ongoing price growth in 2026.

If you could see one number that reliably predicts where property prices are heading next, would you want to know what it is? Well, today, you're about to find out — and it's not what you think. You see…most investors think population growth drives property prices… but today I'm joined by Stuart Wemyss, financial strategist and founder of ProSolution Private Clients, who's done some fascinating analysis showing that the real driver of housing price growth is lending volumes — not population growth or money supply. Our conversation highlights the need for long-term strategies and a focus on fundamentals to achieve sustainable growth in property investments. Takeaways · Property price growth is influenced by various factors, not just population growth. · Lending volumes can be a better predictor of property price movements than population growth. · Investors should be cautious of markets driven primarily by speculation. · Consumer sentiment plays a crucial role in lending and property prices. · Economic factors like interest rates significantly impact lending volumes. · A high proportion of investors in a market can signal potential risks. · Understanding market cycles is essential for long-term property investment success. · Focus on long-term fundamentals rather than short-term trends. · Successful property investment requires a coordinated strategy across financial services.

Property prices across Indian cities have gone through the roof, up by nearly 30% in the last two years. This along with ever increasing rent and general cost of living has made planning for the future quite challenging for those in their 20s and 30s. So has the idea of home ownership changed among the younger generations, like in many Western countries where more and more people are choosing to rent rather than buy? Or are we still attached to the idea of owning a home?And what's behind these record-breaking property prices anyway?Tune in to find out.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

Have you noticed how the Australian property market keeps defying the pessimists? Every time someone says prices have to fall, the market seems to tap them on the shoulder and say, "Not so fast." Well, the latest November home price report is out, and it paints a very clear picture: Australia's housing markets are still running hot - and in some cities, they're running very hot. According to the latest data from My Housing Market, national house prices have risen for nine consecutive months, with the November quarter alone delivering another solid 1.3 percent jump. But averages never tell the full story. I'm joined today by Dr Andrew Wilson to discuss his November report which doesn't just highlight what's happening now - it hints at what's coming next. And his view is that 2025 could deliver even stronger price growth than 2023 and 2024. Takeaways · 2025 is shaping up to be a strong year for property investors. · Despite affordability challenges, the housing market continues to thrive. · First home buyer schemes are expected to significantly impact the market. · Brisbane has seen substantial price increases, outperforming other regions. · The national home price has shown consistent growth across capital cities. · Imposter syndrome is common among successful investors and entrepreneurs. · Strategic investment is crucial in navigating the property market. · Market predictions can often be misleading; long-term fundamentals matter. · The unit market is experiencing a resurgence, particularly in Melbourne. · 2026 is expected to bring steady growth, but not as strong as 2025. Chapters 00:00 Prices rise for the ninth month as housing markets outperform the pessimists. 02:08 Capital cities log another strong month despite affordability pressures. 03:20 Quarterly method shows November softer than October but still robust. 05:18 Near-10% annual growth and first-home-buyer surge set to push prices higher. 07:20 Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Darwin dominate with standout annual gains. 12:53 Outlook: momentum continues into 2026, though growth should moderate.

Property investment has entered dangerous new territory. What used to be about building long-term wealth has become clouded by hype, shortcuts, and unqualified advice. Investors are being drawn into speculative schemes disguised as strategy. In this episode, Veronica and Chris sit down with Ben Kingsley, Founding Managing Director of Empower Wealth and Chair of the Property Investors Council of Australia (PICA), to unpack the alarming resurgence of speculative, misleading, and unlicensed property advice spreading across Australia.Ben recently authored an open letter to industry associations, warning of “get-rich-quick” operators, social media influencers, and unqualified advisors encouraging investors to buy properties through risky trust structures and self-managed super funds. He reveals how these practices are distorting regional markets, luring naive investors, and potentially triggering a regulatory backlash that could reshape the entire property sector.From “pump and dump” tactics to trust lending loopholes and the rise of volume-driven buyer's agents buying sight unseen, this conversation exposes the systemic risks emerging from the unregulated fringes of the industry. Ben, Veronica, and Chris also explore how social media hype, FOMO marketing, and easy credit are fueling another wave of short-term speculation that could end in disaster.If you care about the future of Australia's property market—or just want to protect yourself from being swept up in the next boom-and-bust cycle—this is an episode you can't afford to miss.Episode Highlights00:00 — Why Risky Property Advice Is Back on the Rise01:36 — Speculative Behaviour: The Return of Fast-Money Mindsets02:25 — How Speculation Threatens Consumers and Market Stability03:59 — Unlicensed Advisors and the Power of Social Media Influence06:14 — Regional Market Distortions: When Buyer's Agents Go Rogue08:21 — Will ASIC Step In?

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.

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.

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.

Rob gets real and open about the impact of Labour's proposed tax policies on landlords and the housing market in the UK, arguing that their approach, which includes taxing landlords and introducing a national property tax, is detrimental to both property owners and renters, exacerbating the existing housing shortage. As one of the UK's most prominent property developers, he gets candid about the need for government support and incentives for landlords to help lower rents and stimulate housing development, critiquing the government's handling of immigration and social housing, and highlighting the disparity between asylum seekers receiving guaranteed rent and long-standing UK residents having to be placed on waiting lists BEST MOMENTS "Labour are causing the house price crash. Labour hate landlords. They are taxing them to death." "High rents are not caused by landlords being greedy. High rents are caused by the soaring costs of energy and water and the soaring inflation and taxation." "If Labour were smart, they would go, hey, landlords, here's a little bit of tax relief."

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.

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.
