Every week we chat about Australia's major property markets, but how does Canberra compare and what are its growth prospects? In this episode we speak with Canberran Claire Corby, one of the only buyers agents to work exclusively in Canberra. We discuss the interesting caveats of owning property in Australia's capital city, how has Canberra’s market held up during Covid and what direction is trending towards; will it boom or will it bust?

Here’s what we covered:
How has the Canberra property market held up during COVID?
Why has there been a massive disparity in demand for housing and apartments?
Why Canberra's property market continues to smash suburb price records during COVID
How have developers shifted in offloading the oversupply of their new builds?
Why the majority of Canberra property is Leasehold not freehold.
The weird quirks and caveats of owning property in Canberra?
What happens with the suburbs that border NSW and ACT?
What makes a scarce property in Canberra?
Where are the prestige, blue chip suburbs of Canberra?

Who's really in control when you buy a property?

The Elephant In The Room is where the things that no one wants to talk about, actually get talked about.  

Veronica Morgan, real estate agent, buyers agent and co-host of Foxtel’s Location Location Location Australia & Chris Bates, financial planner, mortgage broker and wealth coach have joined forces to find out what’s really going on in the world of real estate.

Veronica and Chris talk to property owners and buyers every day in their respective lines of business. They’ve observed a wide spectrum of confidence in people’s decision making ability when buying and selling property, often to the detriment of the individuals concerned. They are both fascinated by consumer behaviour and together they’re going to uncover who’s really making the decisions when you buy a property.

In each episode they get into the psyche of buyers, agents, auctioneers and other industry experts to learn the truth about how buyers are influenced and why they do the things they do. In every episode you’ll learn from the mistakes of a “property dumbo” as well as Chris & Veronica’s “elephant rider bootcamp” training session.

The plan? This property podcast has been created to help us all make better property decisions!
