False dichotomy of increasing prices on shelters

7 Aug

WiseOwll

Investors tempering out of. Victoria due to new policies is not the issue here. I’m not sure why it’s always touted as such. Other states perhaps should follow suit. Housing prices continuing to increase without adequate policies to temper them is not helpful to the displaced, renters or home owners for shelter. For every house that’s not demanded by investors- it would likely benefit a home owner who used to rent due to soaring and unsustainable prices. Supply is not the issue if we manage demand type. Consider multiple home owners and short term leasing — an aging population of people living much longer and another boomer type population coming of age, then on top of that our record immigration - tax and funding on property as investment incentives, etc etc. list can go on before we even get to what’s sustainable . These are all stresses to be discussed instead of always focusing on prices and capital gains. Melbourne’s ever increasing rubbish along public roads, highways and spaces as an example— development need to also take stock of ongoing maintenance of infrastructure and surrounds. Otherwise livable cities will end up being dumps where everyone loses, but the most upper echelons.
Super helpful (and as a bonus, fun to listen to)!

The advice you *actually* need

Real Soup For The Real Soul

I am in the process of looking for my first home and am binge-listening to this show, as well as the “this is money” podcast. Both shows are equipping me with the details and confidence to engage the right people (brokers, agents etc.) to help me on my property journey. This is obviously an overwhelming process but understanding property jargon and saturating myself with the facts, anecdotes and tips shared by John and Emily is making things feel a little less scary. If you’re needing some property experts in your corner to lighten the mental load, I highly recommend this show 😊
