  • How high do we want property prices to keep rising? Who wins and who loses?

    How high do we want property prices to keep rising? Who wins and who loses?
    2026/02/03
    Today we ask a question almost no one in property likes to touch - not "will housing prices keep rising?" but "how expensive do we actually want housing to be?" For decades we've celebrated rising house prices in Australia. If your home was worth more this year than last, life felt a bit easier. Politicians were happy, banks were happy, homeowners were happy. But after 50 years of almost uninterrupted price growth, we need to ask a harder question: Is it actually good for us if housing just keeps getting more expensive? The answer, of course, depends on who you are. Because rising prices have created a lot of winners in Australia: homeowners, investors, banks, governments, tradies, retailers. But they've also created a growing group of losers - renters, younger Australians, essential workers, small businesses, and even the future middle class. Takeaways · Rising house prices benefit homeowners, investors, and banks. · First home buyers and renters are the primary losers in the housing market. · The middle class is at risk due to increasing housing costs. · Government policies often favor rising house prices over affordability. · The housing market is influenced by political choices, not just market forces. · Younger generations are becoming a significant voting block for housing issues. · Sustainable growth in property values is preferable to boom-and-bust cycles. · Investors should focus on long-term strategies rather than short-term gains. · The demographic shift may lead to changes in homeownership rates in the future. · A strong middle class is essential for a balanced economy. Chapters 00:00 Who really benefits when house prices keep rising. 05:30 Winners of high prices: owners, banks, governments and investors. 10:00 Losers emerge: renters, first-home buyers and essential workers. 15:00 Political choices, vested interests and why reform is so hard. 20:00 Demographic shifts that could eventually change housing policy. 25:30 Why slow, sustainable growth beats booms for Australia's future.

  • The Scorecard: Which Big Demographic Calls Actually Came True?

    The Scorecard: Which Big Demographic Calls Actually Came True?
    2026/01/27
    At the end of last year, Simon Kuestenmacher published a detailed set of demographic predictions about Australia's future – covering everything from migration and ageing, to housing affordability, consumer behaviour and where population growth would show up. And instead of quietly moving on, he's come back twelve months later to mark his own homework. Today, we discuss the accuracy of his forecasts related to migration, fertility rates, political trends, and the property market. We also explore how societal changes, such as aging populations and consumer behavior, impact various sectors, including housing and car sales. You'll learn the importance of understanding long-term demographic trends amidst short-term chaos, providing insights for business owners and investors. Takeaways · The world feels chaotic, but demographic trends are stable. · Demographic predictions can provide accountability and insights. · Third party voting is on the rise in Australia. · Understanding migration data is crucial for accurate forecasts. · Falling fertility rates are linked to economic optimism. · Greenfield areas are growing faster than infill developments. · First home buyers are delaying purchases due to various factors. · Australia's population is aging, impacting future planning. · Consumer behaviour is affecting car sales trends. · Mental health issues are becoming more prominent in society.

  • The Hidden Trends Reshaping Australia

    The Hidden Trends Reshaping Australia
    2026/01/20
    In today's show we delve into a fresh set of data from the HILDA survey - one of Australia's longest-running studies tracking how real households are living, working, earning, spending, and socialising. Our aim is to help you make sense of what's coming next — so you can make smarter decisions for your business, your investments. You'll hear how Australians are becoming wealthier yet facing challenges such as rising living costs and increasing loneliness. We discuss the implications of retirement wealth, the challenges faced by non-homeowners, and the widening gap between homeowners and renters. The conversation also touches on changing family dynamics, the effectiveness of pronatal policies, and the impact of loneliness on workplace performance, emphasizing the need for proactive measures to address these societal issues. Takeaways · Australians are earning more but feeling the pressure of rising living costs. · Retirement wealth is increasing, particularly among baby boomers. · Non-homeowners face significant financial challenges in retirement. · The gap between homeowners and renters is widening, impacting wealth distribution. · Finding reliable financial advice is crucial in today's noisy information landscape. · Changing family dynamics are leading to fewer children being born later in life. · Pronatal policies have not proven effective in increasing birth rates. · Loneliness is becoming a significant societal issue in Australia. · Workplace socializing can help minimize feelings of loneliness. · Urban planning can play a role in addressing loneliness and fostering community. Chapters 00:10 Why richer, older Australia still feels lonelier. 05:20 Wealthier retirees, housing gaps and migration pressures. 10:30 How homeownership shapes retirement security and inequality. 15:25 Shrinking family size and why money and culture drive it. 20:35 Loneliness rising — work, screens and time-poor lifestyles. 25:35 Walkable communities, aging, and Australia's next big demographic shift.
