About this episode
Is population growth really driving property prices? Tune in for Simon Pressley’s timeless insights from 80 years of Australian property cycles. Do interest rates really move the market, or is that another investor myth? In this Get Invested rewind, host Bushy Martin reopens the Rolled-Gold Property Hub Vault to revisit one of the most popular and timeless interviews from over a thousand episodes. This week, Bushy is joined by Simon Pressley — Australia’s leading property analyst, Real Estate Institute of Australia Hall of Fame inductee, and Director of Propertyology — to unpack more than 80 years of Australian property history and reveal the principles that still hold true today. Simon, who Bushy calls the “Warren Buffett of Australian property,” dives deep into the real drivers of long-term performance, helping investors cut through the noise of interest rates, migration headlines, and short-term hype. Together, they explore: Which so-called “world-ending” events actually shifted property markets — and which just made headlines How rent controls have affected supply (and why history might be repeating itself) The property fundamentals that haven’t changed in eight decades — and what’s likely to happen next If you want to build wealth by design and invest with clarity — not clickbait — this classic conversation will sharpen your understanding of what really moves Australian property. 🎧 Listen now and future-proof your property strategy.
