The Michael Yardney Podcast | Property Investment, Success & Money Michael Yardney; Australia's authority in wealth creation through property

Today, we're diving into a topic that's making waves in the property market.
I’m joined by Julie Toth, Chief Economist at PEXA, to discuss the findings of their 2023 Cash Purchases Report, which sheds light on a startling trend: over a quarter of residential properties in Australia's eastern states were bought with cash in 2023.
These cash buyers were immune to interest-rate heights and in a market typically swayed by mortgage rates and lending criteria, so together with Julie, we'll explore the implications of this trend, the profile of these cash buyers, and what it all means for the future of the Australian property landscape.
From potential impacts on housing affordability to the ripple effects on the broader economy, we're set to uncover some truly eye-opening insights.

I’ve often said that demographic changes will be more important in shaping our property markets in the medium to long term than the ups and downs of interest rates or the vagaries of our economy, so I’m pleased to have leading demographer Simon Kuestenmacher back on the show.
Simon is a co-founder of The Demographics Group and a master in interpreting data and trends to forecast how societies evolve, and his insights are pivotal for anyone interested in property, lifestyle changes, and investment strategies.
Recently Simon wrote a series of articles in The New Daily outlining the changes he sees ahead for us in the next decade and what these shifts mean for our future.
We shift our focus today to Australia's economic future, considering our ties with China and how the evolving global Chinese middle class will interact with our exports amidst demographic challenges. We then dissect the educational landscape, discussing the potential impact of an over-saturated university graduate market.
As society changes, we also discuss shifts in media consumption habits and concerns over AI's influence on news quality. If you’re a property investor or a business owner, you’ll want to understand what these trends mean for you, and like all my regular chats with Simon, this conversation promises to be thought-provoking.

If you're interested in property, you'll know that our rental markets are in crisis.
Vacancy rates have dropped to all-time lows, rental stock remains extremely slim, and rental prices continue to skyrocket.
So how did we get into this rental crisis? How long will it last, what does it mean for you and me as a property investor, and are there some ways the government or regulators can alleviate this crisis?
In today's episode, I discussed this with Dr. Andrew Wilson, the Chief Economist of my Housing Market. Andrew is a bit controversial, but I think together we've come up with some ideas of how to solve or at least alleviate the crisis.
However, let me make one prediction: the government won't do any of those because they're not politically suitable or favorable. Anyway, let's talk about the rental crisis and what it may mean to you as a property investor, as well as what's ahead for our housing markets.

Sometimes good news is bad news.
The good news about our unemployment figures and the number of new jobs created is, in some ways, bad news for those hoping for interest rates to drop.
So what does the latest data mean for interest rates?
How does the Reserve Bank even decide what to do with rates?
What are the factors involved in their decision-making process?
That's what Dr. Andrew Wilson, Chief Economist of My Housing Market, and I discussed today. We chat about what's ahead for interest rates and why he's concerned that the Reserve Bank may not drop interest rates anytime soon.
