The real estate landscape is constantly evolving, and recent data has unveiled surprising trends in Australian cities' property markets.

Brisbane's boom, Hobart's unexpected decline, and Perth's resurgence raise intriguing questions and we're unsure if the numbers we're seeing are telling us the whole truth. Are these trends indicative of long-term changes, or are there underlying factors that could challenge our understanding of the data?

In this episode, we are once again joined by Eliza Owen, the Head of Research at CoreLogic Australia whose vast experience in housing market research makes her an authority on key issues such as housing affordability, credit conditions, and the impact of external factors like the COVID-19 pandemic on the housing market.

If you're thinking about buying or selling a house, this episode could help you make better decisions. So join us and gain a better understanding of the data conundrum shaping Australia’s property market landscape. Let’s get started.

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
