Ep 189 - Daniel Butkovich | Property Advice: Who do you Trust?
08/15/21 • 59 min
A core focus of the podcast has been to uncover who you can trust and who should you avoid when buying property. Today we are joined by Daniel Butkovich, Money & Advice Editor at Domain. He writes about buying, selling, renovating and investing in property to help educate people, whether they’re just starting out or have owned property for a while, with the aim of helping to inspire confidence in all life’s property decisions.
The Australian property market is highly unregulated despite being the preferred investment vehicle for millions of Australians. In such a prosperous but uncontrolled market how do property buyers looking to purchase their first or next set of bricks and mortar do so safely? What should buyers avoid and who should they talk to when mapping out their movements in the market?

Suburb Trends August 2021 | The Tightly Held Index
In this episode, we chat through our favourite new metric, the ‘tightly held index’. This metric quantifies the amount and type of property that are currently held long term including additional data points that maps out the possible reason for these properties being tightly held.
Kent breaks down the data of recent suburb price movement, looking out how the demand for regional property has shifted from 2 months ago. We also scope out the Brisbane market and the future of this relatively infant capital city market.
Here’s what we covered:
- What is the tightly held index?
- How does this index predict future property movements?
- What are the potential causes for the property being held long term?
- What changes in the market will increase the supply of property?
- What areas have the lowest stock level?
- Why are specific properties being held and are they worth holding?
