  • Great content but ads are too long

    The content is amazing, all the insights on the property market have been spot on since the very beginning. The problem are the Rask ads, they go for about 2 minutes each. The content starts 2.5 minutes into the podcast, in the middle of the podcast there are another 2 minutes that need to be skipped and then at the end there’s is another one. Combined with the commercial ads, which I happy to accept, there are close to 10 minutes of ads only.

  • Valuable Insights, but in need of a more balanced perspective

    I’m an enthusiastic follower of the entire Rask series and a regular listener to the Property podcast. However, after listening to several episodes consecutively, I’ve found the frequent references to immigration and overseas students—often framed from a distinctly right-leaning perspective—distracting and repetitive.

    The discussion on Australia’s rental crisis was a noticeable example: Pete suggested that students turned away by the U.S. and welcomed by Australia would be unlikely to attract H... more

  • Please cut down the political talk

    I knew and respect Chris and Amy from other podcasts and was looking forward to a property resource targeting a younger audience, but unfortunate this isn’t it. I’ve listened gern the start, but lately Pete’s rambling with Macrobusiness right wing propaganda and fear mongering about “Asian immigrants” has gotten too alienating.

  • Return housing to homes!

    Spruiking property as a wealth-creation scheme has to end. We need to blow up the property market and impose policy that makes it unattractive as an investment wealth-creation scheme! Housing should be within the reach of every Australian worker again. Prices have blown out since the 90’s due to property hoarding by speculators. This country’s biggest shame! People who own more than one house should be heavily taxed.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Buy now or wait? Chris Bates on the property choices that matter
Q: What do people need to get ready when they come and see you as a mortgage broker?
Bates recommends starting with a conversation, basic financial details and documents such as bank statements. A broker can assess borrowing capacity, check for issues and discuss strategies, after which buyers can compare property options and decide what compromises suit them.
Buy now or wait? Chris Bates on the property choices that matter
Q: Are falling property prices good for Australia? Is this the reset that we needed to have?
Bates calls it a catch-22: a lower price can reduce the mortgage required by a future buyer, but falling values can hurt first-time buyers with little equity. He also argues that high property costs and investor incentives can constrain entrepreneurship and risk-taking.
No listings, nervous buyers: what’s really happening to property prices?
Q: Where do you see the strongest relative value or least downside risk over the next 12 to 18 months? Which cities, price points, or property types?
The hosts discuss relative value in Melbourne units and more affordable established homes, while Chris Bates recommends checking owner-occupier rates, recent price movements, scarcity and development activity. He suggests lower-priced properties in desirable parts of suburbs may be more resilient, while emphasizing the need for local due diligence.
No listings, nervous buyers: what’s really happening to property prices?
Q: With higher rates and tighter serviceability, where are you seeing the biggest constraints on borrowing capacity and how is it impacting different buyer groups? So for example, first time buyers, upgraders or investors and how they're adapting.
Chris Bates says investors face difficulty carrying negative cash flow alongside higher living and mortgage costs. First-home buyers often cannot borrow enough to afford the homes they want. Upgraders may have equity but face uncertainty and logistical challenges around selling and buying. He says buyers with strong incomes, secure work and limited debt may be better placed to act.
Is the property market nearing a bottom? Brisbane, Perth and the signals to watch
Q: What could see the market turn around in the second half of 2027? What indicators should I be watching?
The hosts suggest watching for interest rates to peak and fall, improved affordability, persistent local housing undersupply, and changes in policy or market sentiment. They also recommend tracking suburb-level sales, days on market and clearance rates, especially whether good properties begin selling quickly.
