The Elephant In The Room Property Podcast is run by Veronica Morgan & Chris Bates. I had a chat with them the other week. Now released as Episode 123 | To buy, or not to buy: that is the question.
Their introduction:
Sensationalist media, conflicting reports and anecdotal evidence, but what does the data say?
After Chris’s numerous appearances on Martin North’s ‘Walk The World’ Youtube channel we finally have brought Martin to our own turf. Martin is the founder of Digital Finance Analytics, a boutique research, analysis and consulting firm, he is one of the most regarded authorities in the research space with several media contributions such as ABC new, AFR and 60 minutes. In this data driven episode, we get down to the question at hand: do you buy or do you sell, what is the data showing, and is it reliable? Find out if people are borrowing too much, what properties are beating the downturn and how are individuals discovering the opportunity.
Here’s what we covered:
- How are the 1000 households surveyed every week reflective of Australia?
- How did Martin enter into the finance commentary arena?
- What patterns are showing which suburbs are going up and which are going down.
- How are the 250,000 first home buyers (per year) finding ways to enter the market?
- Why newly built properties are at the greatest risk.
- How is the data segmented to better reflect real profiles?
- Will there be low or high capital growth over the coming years?
- Are we reaching our ‘peak debt’?
- How many properties are vacant in Australia?
- Why is there simultaneous oversupply and undersupply in the market?
- What happens now since migration is zero?
