Welcoming back Director of Research of The Demographics Group, Simon Kuestenmacher. Simon was a guest back in Episode 40 where he outlined the potential problems of Australia's aging population and the current population growth. In this episode we breakdown the impact of COVID on society, specifically how our behaviours and attitudes to work have adjusted and ultimately understanding how this will translate into what people buy in the future to accommodate societies new lifestyle needs.

Here’s what we covered:
Will we feel the effects of COVID for years to come?
What will happen to the inner cities around Australia?
Will big business continue to have CBD based offices or will they adapt?
What is the trend in businesses working from home?
What are the pros and cons of working from home?
Why will having an additional room be crucial for working from home?
When will the fringes of each city's CBD see growth due to the WFH movement?
What will be the biggest demographic changes in Australia?
How might migration return to normal?
Will reverse mortgages become more prominent?

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
