About this episode
In this week’s episode of the Australian Property Podcast, Pete Wargent and Chris Bates unpack a volatile week in global markets and what it might mean for Australian housing. From oil price shocks and inflation fears to population shifts and investor behaviour, they explore why short-term uncertainty rarely changes the long-term structural drivers of property markets
Together, they discuss:
- Sudden oil price spikes briefly shake financial markets
- Global supply shocks, inflation pressures and potential interest rate hikes could influence housing sentiment without necessarily changing long-term property demand.
- Migration patterns are intensifying rental shortages and housing pressure in those states.
- Why investors approaching retirement are increasingly selling property assets, particularly negatively geared units that generate little cashflow in retirement.
- The growing divide between generations.
- How market uncertainty often reduces listings rather than demand
- The hidden costs of moving house in Australia.
- Listener Q&A
