How reliable is the data behind Perth's property boom, and what does it truly tell us about the future of this market? Is the market genuinely booming, or are we looking at a bubble that's about to pop?

Today, we take a look at Perth's bustling real estate scene with Ray Chua, a seasoned buyers agent who's right in the thick of it all in Perth. He brings us the inside scoop by breaking down what's really driving the spike in property values in this vibrant city.

Ray's got his finger on the pulse of the market, so he walks us through the trends by putting his years of experience and local know-how to work. He takes a hard look at the data investors usually bank on, hinting that it might not be as solid as we thought.

For anyone thinking about jumping into Perth's property market, this episode is for you. Should you jump on the bandwagon and enjoy the surge in values, or is there a danger of getting caught in a slump? Tune in and let's get started!

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!

We talk about the things no one wants to talk about in the Property Market
