What’s happening with Adelaide’s property market? Is the incredible boom we’ve been seeing finally coming to an end? In this episode, we’re joined by Peter Koulizos, the property professor, to take a closer look at what’s going on in this fascinating market.

Adelaide’s median house price has now overtaken Melbourne’s—for the first time in 40 years! And all this while having a population of less than 1.5 million compared to Melbourne’s 5.5 million. It’s been a remarkable run of price growth since mid-2020, but is the boom about to fizzle out?

Peter dives into what’s been driving this surge in Adelaide, looking beyond just affordability to unpack the underlying factors. Is this market still a hidden gem, or are we finally seeing the first signs of it slowing down?

If Adelaide’s meteoric rise has caught your eye, this conversation is one you’ll want to hear. Peter’s insights might just change the way you see this city’s property market and where it’s heading.

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
