  • Today, we're diving into a topic that's making waves in the property market.

    I’m joined by Julie Toth, Chief Economist at PEXA, to discuss the findings of their 2023 Cash Purchases Report, which sheds light on a startling trend: over a quarter of residential properties in Australia's eastern states were bought with cash in 2023.

    These cash buyers were immune to interest-rate heights and in a market typically swayed by mortgage rates and lending criteria, so together with Julie, we'll explore the implications of this trend, the profile of these cash buyers, and what it all means for the future of the Australian property landscape.

    From potential impacts on housing affordability to the ripple effects on the broader economy, we're set to uncover some truly eye-opening insights.

  • I’ve often said that demographic changes will be more important in shaping our property markets in the medium to long term than the ups and downs of interest rates or the vagaries of our economy, so I’m pleased to have leading demographer Simon Kuestenmacher back on the show.

    Simon is a co-founder of The Demographics Group and a master in interpreting data and trends to forecast how societies evolve, and his insights are pivotal for anyone interested in property, lifestyle changes, and investment strategies.

    Recently Simon wrote a series of articles in The New Daily outlining the changes he sees ahead for us in the next decade and what these shifts mean for our future.

    We shift our focus today to Australia's economic future, considering our ties with China and how the evolving global Chinese middle class will interact with our exports amidst demographic challenges. We then dissect the educational landscape, discussing the potential impact of an over-saturated university graduate market.

    As society changes, we also discuss shifts in media consumption habits and concerns over AI's influence on news quality. If you’re a property investor or a business owner, you’ll want to understand what these trends mean for you, and like all my regular chats with Simon, this conversation promises to be thought-provoking.

  • If you're interested in property, you'll know that our rental markets are in crisis.

    Vacancy rates have dropped to all-time lows, rental stock remains extremely slim, and rental prices continue to skyrocket.

    So how did we get into this rental crisis? How long will it last, what does it mean for you and me as a property investor, and are there some ways the government or regulators can alleviate this crisis?

    In today's episode, I discussed this with Dr. Andrew Wilson, the Chief Economist of my Housing Market. Andrew is a bit controversial, but I think together we've come up with some ideas of how to solve or at least alleviate the crisis.

    However, let me make one prediction: the government won't do any of those because they're not politically suitable or favorable. Anyway, let's talk about the rental crisis and what it may mean to you as a property investor, as well as what's ahead for our housing markets.

  • Sometimes good news is bad news.

    The good news about our unemployment figures and the number of new jobs created is, in some ways, bad news for those hoping for interest rates to drop.

    So what does the latest data mean for interest rates?

    How does the Reserve Bank even decide what to do with rates?

    What are the factors involved in their decision-making process?

    That's what Dr. Andrew Wilson, Chief Economist of My Housing Market, and I discussed today. We chat about what's ahead for interest rates and why he's concerned that the Reserve Bank may not drop interest rates anytime soon.

  • Why do some people seem to effortlessly grow their wealth while others work hard but continue to struggle?

    I've got something a bit different an for you in today's episode. Together with Brett Warren, national director at Metropole and financial whiz Pete Wargent, we give you a sneak peek behind the curtain and help you understand the lessons we learned from Wealth Retreat last year.

    While we're talking about wealth, it'll be interesting at the end of it when you work out what our emphasis was. It wasn't investment and, it wasn't property. Listen in as we share with you the biggest lessons we've learned.

  • Is Australia growing too fast? That’s the question we’re going to ask today.

    Joining me today is Ross Elliott, a seasoned urban development commentator whose recent article has stirred the pot by highlighting the consequences of Australia's population surge, especially in hotspots like Southeast Queensland.

    His insights shed light on the pressing issues that come with the significant growth Australia is experiencing.

    Our conversation uncovers the historical layers of urban density policies and how these affect the development of sufficient infrastructure, such as schools and utilities. We also consider the social inequalities that may deepen because of this rapid growth and discuss the government's plan to construct 1.2 million new homes.

    Since you're most likely interested in the future of the Australian housing market, this is an important topic for you to learn about.

  • I feel sorry for property investors trying to make headway in real estate. They face the hurdle of significant media misinformation, which is underwhelmingly and unnecessarily discouraging, and social media which is full of “pretend gurus” who are prepared to sell you their secrets to instant riches in property.

    In my mind, they’re selling you tickets to see unicorns.

    Despite the information available in the media and on the Internet, the number of investors who succeed in developing financial freedom through property has not increased over the years, so my recommendation is to tune out the white noise and be selective in who you listen to. I suggest you look for evidence-based analysis.

    That’s why I enjoy my monthly Big Picture podcasts with Pete Wargent, who brings decades of perspective to his views.

    Today, we will be discussing a raft of macro and micro economic factors that should give you some clues as to what’s ahead for our housing markets.

  • In an age where financial transactions have largely moved online, the prevalence of financial scams has surged, catching many Australians off guard.

    The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission reports that Australians lost a record $3.1 billion to scams in 2022. This is an 80 per cent increase in total losses recorded in 2021.

    This staggering loss highlights not just the cunning of scammers but also their ability to adapt to changing technologies and exploit new vulnerabilities.

    So, in today’s podcast with independent financial advisor Stuart Wemyss, I want to ask him how to spot the signs of a scam.

    Our conversation today is an eye-opener, revealing common tactics scammers use to exploit the digital landscape and deceive individuals. We touch on personal experiences and the various types of scams, such as phishing and false billing.

    Whether you're an experienced investor or a beginner, this episode is packed with practical insights and data-driven predictions to help you make informed decisions.

    Amidst sharing these insights, we underscore the significance of safeguarding personal and financial information and discuss how banks' robust security measures, though sometimes inconvenient, are critical in protecting us from these fraudulent activities.

    Some of our favorite quotes from the show:

    “Over the years, another lesson I learned was that every year we get hit by an X factor, an unforeseen event or situation, something that blows away all our carefully laid plans.” – Michael Yardney

    “Often the first 10 years of investing are wasted making mistakes and learning what not to do, following the wrong path, taking the wrong strategy or not having any strategy.” – Michael Yardney

    “And when you expect to fail, fear loses all its power over you. When you no longer fear failure, you feel empowered to take action.”– Michael Yardney

  • It has become more and more challenging for Australians to find a rental home since the pandemic started. Availability has plunged and rental rates have skyrocketed by as much as 33% in capital cities.

    Some locations show the vacancy rates moving up slightly in recent months, but the rental market is far from balanced, and this results in a headache for many tenants.

    Last year, there was a Senate inquiry on the rental crisis. Today’s guest, Nicola McDougall, chair of the Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA), says that their recommendation was a waste of money.

    Listen to our discussion as we talk about why, discuss the state of the rental markets, and consider what’s ahead.

  • In today’s podcast we're venturing into a fascinating area that intersects with both wealth creation and the human psyche.

    We've all heard of self-sabotage, but have you ever wondered why some of the most intelligent and capable individuals hit an invisible ceiling in their property, investment, or business ventures?

    Why do some people, despite their knowledge and skills, only reach a certain level of success?

    Well, today, we're diving deep into what I like to call your 'wealth thermostat' - a concept that suggests our early experiences and beliefs set a sort of psychological temperature for the level of wealth and success we're comfortable with.

    Joining me today is Jackson Milan – The Wealth Mentor.

    Jackson has a unique insight into how our childhood experiences and subconscious beliefs shape our financial destinies.

    So, whether you're looking to break through your own financial barriers, understand the psychology behind wealth creation, or just curious about why we do what we do with our money, this episode is for you.

  • Now inflation has been tamed and interest rates have peaked, many market commentators and property economists are updating their forecast for 2024.

    While the media loves sharing short-term forecasts, the longer-term outlook is more important for investors as it better aligns with their investment horizon.

    Investors should consider where the market will be in 10 years, rather than where interest rates will be in six months.

    However, in today’s podcast, I discuss the dominant influences on our housing markets for 2024 with independent financial advisor Stuart Wemyss, founder of Prosolution Private Clients. We’ll break down the influence of inflation and interest rates on real estate trends, while also considering the broader implications of economic changes.

  • In today’s show I'll discuss the complexities of Australia's housing market with my guest Mike Mortlock, the director of MCG Quantity Surveys.

    In our conversation today, we spoke about lots of interesting things that will give you some insights into our housing market.

    In particular, we explore a disturbing “tall poppy syndrome” narrative that’s taken place over the last little while. It puts property investors in the role of villains who are against the Australian dream of home ownership, and we believe this is an unfair and inaccurate portrayal.

    We explain why that’s inaccurate and tell politicians it’s time to stop picking on property investors.

    We also talk about the rental crisis, what's ahead for our property markets, and Mike’s views on what will happen with AI and the property markets.

  • Have you set big goals for yourself in investing or business in 2024? Is financial freedom part of your plan?

    Today’s show is a continuation of a two-part series where Mark Creedon and I explore 18 Wealth Lessons from Morgan Housel’s great book The Psychology of Money.

    Housel tells us about the principles of behavioral finance rather than property strategy or finance tips. The psychology of investor behaviors can help you understand why some make successful moves while others don’t, and help you create the right wealth habits and mindset for yourself.

    In the last show, we discussed 9 wealth lessons in the first 9 chapters of the book. Mark and I continue on today with the rest of the chapters. No matter where you are on your financial journey, today’s show will help you on the way to financial freedom and property, investment, and business success.
