We are honoured to have renowned economist Saul Eslake on the podcast to discuss all things Australian economy. Saul Eslake has worked in Australian financial markets for over 25 years, including several chief economist roles in Mcintosh, ANZ and Bank of America Merrill Lynch, and has worked in an advisory capacity with the federal government. Saul comes in with a wealth of knowledge and insight into the current state of affairs including how the various states have performed from one another, how net migration will change in the future and Australia’s need to shift from exporting raw materials to service based industries.

Here’s what we covered:
What are some similarities between the economy post Spanish flu and Covid 19?
What's most likely going to happen nationally and globally?
Are we on the cusp of structural change?
How are capital city housing prices going?
How Sydney survived through Covid comparison to Melbourne?
Why have fixed rates historically been higher than variable rates?
How is the RBA trying to reduce the AUD?
What is the state of the current banking system
How will the US election impact the Australian economy?
What ways can Australia grow its economy beyond the exporting of raw materials?

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
