Some of our favorite quotes from the show:
“Well, the May housing approval figures came out and they shot up a little bit, but we're still nowhere near the sort of figures we're going to need to reach that target.” – Michael Yardney
“I guess what we're saying is that unemployment is going to rise a little bit. The Reserve Bank wants that, but that may slow inflationary pressures down a little bit. But there's still jobs out there if you're wanting them.” – Michael Yardney
“The message here is most of the critics actually sit on the sidelines. They're not in the arena, they don't try.” – Michael Yardney

Homeownership Dreams on Hold: What’s Really Stopping Younger Generations? With Simon Kuestenmacher
The Michael Yardney Podcast | Property Investment, Success & Money
12/09/24 • 35 min
Today Simon Kuestenmacher and I explore why young Australians are increasingly delaying their dreams of homeownership.
We've all heard about skyrocketing property prices and the challenges of securing a mortgage but, as you’ll hear, there's more to the story than just affordability.
Sure, property prices present a significant barrier, but we also examine lifestyle changes, such as extended periods in education and the prioritisation of experiences over material possessions, reshaping the housing market landscape.
We also discuss some very important demographic shifts, including the transition of millennials from urban rentals to suburban family homes, and highlight the rise of build-to-rent and co-living spaces.

The Michael Yardney Podcast | Property Investment, Success & Money
09/16/24 • 37 min
Today we're going to tackle one of the most critical decisions every property investor faces: where to buy.
It’s often said that the three most important factors in property investment are location, location, and location—but what does that really mean?
Not every suburb or street will deliver the kind of growth and returns you’re hoping for.

I'm joined by Brett Warren, national director at Metropole Property Strategists and an expert who identifies these high-potential areas. Brett has spent years analysing data, spotting trends, and helping investors make smarter decisions.
Today, he shares his insights on what makes a location investment grade, why some areas rise while others stagnate, and how you can position yourself for maximum growth.
So, if you’re tired of mediocre returns and want your investments to stand out, this episode is for you. We’re going to dive deep into the strategies that will help you choose the right locations and set your property portfolio up for long-term success.
