Here are some tips on how to protect your hard earned deposit and bullet proof your purchase. Veronica Morgan from Your First Home Buyer Guide podcast series has this warning.

How not to lose your deposit

Between June and September, every major Local Government Area in Queensland saw a tightening in rental vacancies - a trend since the beginning of the pandemic in March, raising a few questions. Shannon Davis from HQ Property is here to answer them. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The rental squeeze

As remote working opportunities become more prevalent and demand for lifestyle properties and lower density housing options become more popular, regional areas of Australia have seen housing market conditions surge ahead. CoreLogic's Eliza Owen joins us for more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Buyers head for the hills

Buying and selling property just got a bit harder, but if we all do the right thing then we should be back to normal in no time. But what is the right thing? REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella sets out the do’s and don’t’s. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Property in lockdown

The process of buying and selling the property does not end with paying the seller and executing a document showing your interest to buy the property.  Kayleigh Whittaker from My Property Protect joins us. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The rocky property road that looks so smooth

As happened at the end of 2019 – and every year for that matter – the predictions about what next years property landscape would be like were coming thick and fast.  Even after Covid hit the predictors were floundering.  One though has been able to nail it year after year – even when things go pear shaped.  Hot Spotting’s Terry Ryder is the man and he joins us with his thoughts on 2021. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hotspot forecasting is ‘spot on’

Normally if you asked the opinion of fourteen property experts about the future, you might expect to get fourteen different opinions.  Surprisingly, when Bricks and Mortar Media rounded up the opinions of some of the country’s leading property forecasting brains for their 2021 B.M.M. Property Market Forecast, it didn’t quite work out that way. Nicola McDougall from Bricks and Mortar Media details the findings. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fourteen heads are better than one

“Don’t be like so many first buyers and start looking without a plan” is good advice from Property Pursuit's Meighan Wells, who recently helped start a new self-help podcast for first home buyers. She joins us to overview the podcast along with some of the critical errors buyers make.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Before you get on the ladder

A property failing to settle because of a default by the buyer is not totally uncommon, although it rarely happens.  Certainly, it has never happened on the TV series The Block – that is... until last week.  Winners of the Block 2020, Jimmy and Tam Wilkins have been forced to put their home back on the market after the buyer failed to pay for the property. Here is what to do to make sure it does not happen to you.  Lloyd Edge is from Australian Property Professionals. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happens if the buyer fails?

A great amount of property is owned by more than one individual and this is often referred to as ‘joint ownership'. However, there are two different types of joint ownership and real estate salespeople are often asked the difference between ‘joint tenants' and ‘tenants in common'.  Let’s clear it up.  Kayleigh Whittaker from My Property Protect joins us.

Getting the title right

With the economy taking a brutal beating this year, many Australians have been sitting cautiously watching and waiting to see what the impact will be on the property market before making any big moves.  How will the market respond in terms of property prices and buyer appetite?  There are trends that could indicate what next year holds in store.  Shannon Davis from HQ Property gives us some insight.

Property trends post COVID into 2021

The federal opposition has argued that the removal of responsible lending obligations could instigate another round of predatory lending.  What could that mean to the property finance industry? Know How Property's Bushy Martin joins us on the line. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New guidelines lead to predatory lending

The CBD of Brisbane, which was brought to a standstill in March with COVID-19, has slowly returned to life.  However the future prosperity of the City has been thrown into doubt in a 2020 Inner City Vitality Report, commissioned by the Committee For Brisbane. Star Entertainment Group’s Geoff Hogg from the Committee joins me. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The future for Brisbane’s CBD

Last week we mentioned the perils of Vestey Trusts and how they have re-emerged under a guise of legitimacy by DG Institute run by Dominique Grubsia.  She does so by praying on the fear of people with superannuation funds by pedaling false claims that the Federal Government will raid superannuation funds.  Investigative reporter for The Age, Richard Baker exposes Grubsia’s scheme.
