David Llewellyn Smith, Leith van Onselen, and respected Australian real estate journalist and buyers advocate, Catherine Cashmore, talk with Gunnamatta about where the real estate market currently is, where it has come from, and the factors which will determine where it is going. The discussion explores the role rising real estate prices play in spurring aggregate demand in the face of a mining capex wind down, while outlining the risks real estate faces, the implications of having an investor driven market with younger buyers priced out, the political status quo against changing real estate dynamics, and the importance to the real estate industry of having the media on song. Anyone thinking of buying real estate will find the discussion thought provoking.
The discussion comes in two parts.
