As we delve into the deepening housing affordability crisis in Australia, and the conversation starts to shift from the struggles of first-time home buyers to the escalating rental crisis, it's time to examine whether the proposed solutions from our government are truly effective or mere band-aids to a larger problem.



In this episode, we delve deep into the housing crisis and explore the obstacles preventing meaningful change. Is it a lack of political will that prevents decisive action? Or are there other roadblocks, such as complex regulatory frameworks or community resistance, that impede progress?



Joining us as we attempt to gain insights into the current state of the Australian housing market is Peter Tulip — Chief Economist at the Centre for Independent Studies, whose extensive experience, including his research at the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, makes him an invaluable resource in understanding the complexities of housing and monetary policy.



If you're passionate about understanding the intricate dynamics of the Australian housing market and eager to explore potential avenues for change, this episode is a must-listen. Gain valuable insights from our expert guest as we unlock the mysteries of why housing solutions remain elusive in the Australian housing landscape and discover potential pathways towards affordable housing solutions.

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
