Have buyers completely vanished from the Australian property market, or are we just seeing a severe crisis of confidence? 

When leading auctioneers call recent weekends the worst auction days of their 30-year careers—complete with zero registered bidders and empty rooms—it is clear something seismic is shifting on the ground. Brent is joined by renowned real estate commentator and auctioneer Tom Panos to decode the property market angst, plummeting transaction volumes, and what it all means for homeowners and buyers.

• The Crisis of Confidence: Why buyer appetite has temporarily evaporated, leaving multiple auctions with zero registrations.

• Volume Over Price: The hidden danger of a 40% drop in transaction volumes and how it hammers everyone from conveyancers to state government stamp duty coffers.

• Finding Opportunity in the Chaos: Why quiet, lonely markets can sometimes create hidden windows for well-prepared, long-term buyers.

If you want to look past the general noise and understand the hard economic reality facing Australian real estate, this is a must-listen.
