Podcasts about property prices

Everyone is talking about what could go wrong with Australian property.Falling prices. Policy changes. Higher costs. Weaker confidence. More uncertainty.But what if a softer market isn't just something to survive?What if it's an opportunity to create value that simply isn't available when everyone is fighting to buy?In this episode of The Australian Property Show, Tom Haigh breaks down five practical strategies for making money in a down property market.These aren't theoretical strategies. They're approaches Tom has used himself and strategies the Groundswell team is currently helping clients explore.We look at how to:Create dual-income properties and dramatically increase rental incomeRenovate dated property to manufacture value rather than wait for market growthIdentify adaptive reuse opportunities where a property's current use isn't its highest and best useFind under-rented commercial assets where increasing the income can unlock significant valueTrade up into better residential property while taking advantage of relative price discountsThe bigger lesson is that you don't need to predict the bottom of the market to make a good property decision.You need to understand the fundamentals, identify where the market is mispricing an opportunity, and have the vision and discipline to act.If you're currently sitting on the sidelines because the headlines are telling you property is in trouble, this episode will give you a different way to look at the market.Take Action Today:If you are serious about building wealth through property, but not yet fully clear on your next move, book a complimentary clarity call with our team via the link below.In one conversation, we can help you get clearer on your position, your options, and the path forward — because clarity creates confidence, and confidence helps people act.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book a complimentary clarity call⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with host of The Australian Property Show - Tom Haigh⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠We'll help analyse your current position, identify your biggest untapped opportunities, and get you moving towards the life you want.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠General Advice Warning! The information (including taxation) contained in this podcast is general in nature and does not consider your individual financial circumstances or needs.

Westpac's CEO says property downturn is almost dead. And he's actually not happy about that. He even reached out to Albo to try and fix things. Good luck with that! So in today's episode, I reveal:Exactly when Westpac's CEO expects property prices to start rising again - and why .Does he just want people to give him more business by taking out more loans (which is good for his stock price and bonus) OR does that data actually back up what he has to sayWhat did he ask Albo to help him out with exactly?

Warwick on Qld's southern Downs is defying every market prediction - a place where property prices have gone up while everywhere else seems to be going down.

Today, this monthly discussion reviews Bank of Portugal figures suggesting foreign real-estate investment fell from about 1.9 to 1.7 billion, questioning whether Portugal's market is cooling or maturing. Paul argues the data depends on what is counted, but says the headline “decline” is really a refinement as Lisbon, Porto and the Algarve have become unaffordable and yields in central Lisbon are thin (roughly 3.5–5%), pushing “floating capital” to seek better returns inland and outside expensive areas. They note reports of sharp rent and price increases in Portugal, contrast them with London declines, and describe greater caution about overpaying and 2008-style downside risk. Paul highlights an inland development investment in Pedrogão Grande and an opt-in quarterly investment newsletter via rural-properties.com, then explains asking prices may be unrealistic, inheritance sales can inflate prices, and buyers can still find value by understanding seller motivations and negotiating beyond price.00:00 Bank Report Question00:52 What Counts as Property01:43 Returns and Overpricing03:04 Looking Inland for Value04:40 Maturation Not Cooling06:46 Bigger Projects and Funding08:03 Investment Newsletter Signup09:31 Asking Prices vs Reality11:31 Finding Value and Negotiating14:08 Next Topic TeaserBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-good-morning-portugal-podcast-with-carl-munson--2903992/support.Get help moving to and living in Portugal

We examine why Perth's property market appears more resilient, the three stages typically seen during a property downturn, and what these different market conditions mean for buyers and investors.

Capital city home prices have continued to fall sharply over August with no sign yet of the usual pre-spring revival in activity.   The national capital city median house price fell by 1.8% over the August quarter to $1,226,833 compared to the July quarter, according to the latest data from My Housing Market.   In today's show Dr. Andrew Wilson explains what's really happening in Australia's property markets as we head into Spring.   We unpack why house prices have kept easing, why units are holding up better, and what the latest figures mean for buyers and investors.   We also look at how interest rate uncertainty, tax changes, and weaker confidence are shaping today's market conditions.   At the same time, we explore why low vacancy rates, strong migration, and housing shortages are still supporting the rental market. If you're trying to make sense of the headlines, this episode gives you a clearer picture of where the cycle may be heading next.   Takeaways:   • National house prices fell again, extending the downtrend across Australia's capital cities. • Sydney and Melbourne remain the weakest markets, driven by cautious buyer sentiment. • Units are outperforming houses because affordability is pushing demand toward cheaper stock. • A missing spring rebound shows confidence, not just prices, is still under pressure. • Interest rate uncertainty is delaying major decisions from buyers and investors alike. • Government tax changes are adding fresh caution to property market behaviour. • Strong migration continues to support demand despite softer sales conditions. • Housing undersupply is keeping vacancy rates low and rents under upward pressure. • Melbourne units are showing resilience compared with the broader housing decline. • Property cycles eventually turn, but recovery usually starts with renewed confidence.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time. ·        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.

Welcome to this week's episode of the Money and Investing Show with Andrew Baxter and co-host Mitch. Are Australian banks in trouble? In this episode, Andrew and Mitch examine the growing pressure facing Australian banks as credit growth slows, mortgage applications fall and property prices begin to pull back. The discussion looks at what a 2% decline in Australian property prices could mean for borrowers, investors and the wider banking system. They break down the risks around negative equity, higher debt servicing costs, loan arrears and potential repossessions, particularly for Australians who have borrowed heavily. Andrew also discusses why falling loan applications could eventually put pressure on bank earnings and valuations. With property investors becoming more cautious and major players reducing their exposure to real estate, the episode asks what these signals could mean for Australian banks and the broader economy. If you have a mortgage, own property or invest in Australian banks, this episode offers useful context on the risks worth watching as economic and property conditions change.

Labour projects a capital gains tax on property will raise $1.35 billion a year by 2031. Simplicity chief economist Shamubeel Eaqub spoke to John Campbell about what the tax changes could mean for property investors and prices.

We talk with  Andrew MacMillan from Foundit about Domain's latest figures showing 15 Australian suburbs have fallen below their $1 million, $2 million or $3 million median-price thresholds. Brighton in Melbourne is a good example of how the median house price dropped 6.6% to $2.915 million. Buyers are still active, but they're researching carefully and resisting pressure to overpay, knowing they have more time and choice.

Labour's confident stagnant property prices won't hurt its plans to slash debt if re-elected. The party's seeking to return to surplus by the end of the decade and lower net debt to 20% of GDP over time. Its plans hinge on a fully implemented Capital Gains Tax. Labour Leader Chris Hipkins told Mike Hosking that it's not expected the sliding property market will continue. He says even the current government's budgeting for property prices to return to a long term average growth of around three percent. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We talk to Chevy Sukkar from Ray White in Ipswich.  Brisbane's median house price has reached around $1.2 million, pushing more first home buyers towards affordable markets such as Ipswich. While demand has cooled, correctly priced Ipswich homes can still attract buyers. The bigger question is whether yesterday's “too far away” locations are becoming tomorrow's realistic property markets for Australians.

House prices are down across Australia and even previously resilient property markets are now in decline too.Analysts point to consecutive interest rate hikes, and government tax changes behind the weakness in the property market.But will the downturn last? 

Estate agents expect house prices to increase by 5% on average in the next 12 months, according to a new survey from the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland (SCSI). However, the SCSI report also indicates that the price of a new build property in the Dublin commuter belt is already out of reach for average earners.John O'Sullivan, member of the Society of Chartered Surveyors and Dublin based estate agent, and Michael Dowling from Irish Mortgage Brokers join The Last Word to discuss.Catch the full chat by pressing the 'Play' button on this page!

Sentiment in the Australian property market right now sits at levels last seen during COVID. Not because there is a financial crisis but because a government budget announcement has spooked investors who have not yet separated the policy noise from the underlying economics. This episode covers three things every investor needs to hear right now. Why Australian property keeps rising regardless of policy:Australia has only 110 statistical urban areas compared to 2,600 in the US across a similar land mass. Of 15,000 Australian suburbs, only around 4,200 are actually investable. The competition is always concentrated. A budget cannot change that. Where the money goes after the budget:Negative gearing changes push sophisticated investors out of $2M-plus properties and into the $500k–$700k range where yields already sit at 4 to 4.5%. An investor who was budgeting for one $3M property can now buy six at $500k. The competition that follows will not come from first home buyers. Why low sentiment is the signal:Sentiment today mirrors COVID 2022–2023 one of the strongest entry points in recent history. Less competition means more room in negotiations. Whatever gets decided in Canberra today is unlikely to be the driving factor in your portfolio return in 24 to 48 months.

House prices are falling across most of our capital cities right now, and the rate of decline is actually picking up speed.   Now, I know what the headlines are going to say about that. They'll call it a crash, a correction, a crisis — and frankly, most of those headlines will be written to scare you, not inform you.   So what's really going on? Is this the beginning of something serious, or is this just a market catching its breath after three extraordinary years of growth?   Today, I cut through the noise as I am joined by Dr. Andrew Wilson Chief Economist at My Housing Market, who's been tracking Australian property cycles for decades. He's the person I turn to every month for the numbers that actually matter.   In this episode we discuss the latest shifts in Australia's property markets and what they mean for investors.   We unpack why capital city house prices are easing after a strong run, with higher rates, affordability pressure, and weaker confidence all playing a role.   We look at how Australia's property market remains highly fragmented, with some cities softening faster while others are still holding up well.   And we discuss why tight rental vacancies continue to push rents higher, even as buyers and sellers become more cautious.   We also explore why units are outperforming houses in many locations, and why that matters for investors navigating a winter market.   Takeaways    • Australia's market is pausing after strong gains, not entering a collapse. • Higher interest rates have reduced borrowing power and cooled buyer demand. • Affordability pressures are pushing many buyers out of expensive house markets. • Melbourne's top end has weakened, dragging broader median results lower. • Perth still shows strong annual growth despite a recent easing in momentum. • Units are outperforming houses in many capital city markets right now. • Low vacancy rates are continuing to put upward pressure on rents. • Chronic housing undersupply is the key long-term support for prices. • Strong migration is adding fresh demand to already tight housing markets. • Confidence usually returns before the spring selling season begins.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time. ·        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.

Zain Johnson speaks to independent economist John Loos about whether South Africa is witnessing a genuine reverse semigration trend. While the Western Cape's rising property prices may be slowing the pace of inward migration, Loos explains why affordable housing alone won't shift migration patterns, and why Gauteng will need stronger economic growth, improved service delivery and better quality of life to regain its appeal.

If you've been following the headlines, you'd be forgiven for thinking property markets rise and fall on the back of interest rates, government policy, or the latest migration numbers.   But when you step back and look at what really drives long-term property performance, a different story starts to emerge.   In fact, the biggest driver of property values isn't what most commentators focus on at all.   In today's show I speak with leading demographer Simon Kuestenmacher about the real drivers of property markets.   We explore why employment, not just population growth, is crucial for property value growth.   Simon and I discuss how job quality and security influence housing demand and investment.   We analyse the impact of demographic trends and local economies on property strategies.   Join us as we provide insights to help you make informed investment decisions.   Takeaways   • Employment growth drives property values more than population increases. • Local economies and job security boost housing demand and confidence. • Dual-income households significantly impact property prices and market dynamics. • Infrastructure linked to jobs supports sustainable economic growth. • Industry diversity strengthens local economies and property markets. • High-income jobs in city centres attract property investment. • AI and hybrid work models reshape property location preferences. • Defense spending boosts property markets in specific regions. • Long-term planning is crucial for understanding job quality and local economies. • Skilled, high-income households drive property market growth.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ •        Win a hard copy of Negotiate, Influence, Persuade. •        Every entry receives a copy of a fully updated Michael Yardney Property Report.   Michael Yardney – Subscribe to my Property Update newsletter here   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

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.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ •         Win a hard copy of How to grow a multi-million dollar property portfolio in your space on. •         Every entry receives a copy of a fully updated Michael Yardney Property Report.   Michael Yardney – Subscribe to my Property Update newsletter here   Join Michael Yardney, plus a team of experts, at Wealth Retreat 2026 on the Gold Coast in May.

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. Regional markets show varied performance across Australia. High construction costs impact future property supply. Strategic planning is crucial in uncertain markets. Auction clearance rates reflect market health. Migration patterns influence property demand. Long-term outlook remains positive for investors. Maintaining an open mindset is essential. Economic resilience supports property market stability.

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.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time.

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.   Chapters    01:46 – Why the Last Five Years of Property Data Can Mislead Investors  04:40 – Lending Volumes vs Population Growth: What Really Drives Prices  08:20 – Cash Buyers, Investor Ratios and Market Stability  11:38 – Sentiment, Employment and the Factors Behind Borrowing Power  15:23 – State-by-State Differences and Why Markets Move Out of Sync  17:55 – How Lending Trends Predict Cycles and Help Time Your Entry   Links and Resources:   Michael Yardney – Subscribe to my Property Update newsletter here     Stuart Wemyss – Prosolution Private Clients     Read Stuart's article here: https://prosolution.com.au/why-property-investors-shouldnt-trust-the-last-5-years-of-price-data/   Stuart's Book – Rules of the Lending Game & Investopoly   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 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.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·        Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's How to Grow a Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio in Your Spare Time.  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.
