Rising property inventory can introduce several risks for property investors. An increase in available properties can lead to market saturation, as supply outpaces demand. This oversaturation can drive down property prices and rental rates, potentially impacting the profitability of real estate investments.

In today's episode, our resident data geek, Kent Lardner discusses a significant trend he has noticed in the Australian property market which is all about the rising number of available properties and what it could mean for investors. While it seems like things are getting back to normal, there's a catch you will probably need to look out for.

Throughout the episode, we dive into the specific areas in Australia where this rising property inventory trend could create problems for investors.

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
