Michele Adair, CEO of Housing Trust, joins us and explains how her organization builds and manages affordable housing for people on a very low to moderate income.

We're going to find out the difference between social housing and affordable housing. Michele highlights some important factors affecting household affordability.  It’s not just about first home buyers wanting to get onto the ladder. So what are the gaps in the system?

Here’s some of what we covered:


What are alternative models for property investment and will they provide more affordable housing?


Why households spending 30% or more of total household income, in rent, or in mortgage repayments, are in housing stress.


What happens when life throws a curved ball & you can’t afford a roof over your head. How much ‘buffer’ do you need?


Can good urban design & planning eliminate social problems?


Why everyone deserves a decent home & why it’s Housing Trust’s vision.

It’s an insightful episode, we hope you enjoy listening.

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
