“Property in a state of disaster.” Yep. You heard it here first, folks…
And there’s no doubt we’re literally making property news with this timely “double header” episode featuring two of the brightest minds in Australian real estate… (and no, this breaking news is not “hot off the press” either… we actually interviewed one of today’s guests BEFORE the press even got to them!! 😲)
Here’s the deal…
With Stage 4 restrictions now here in Metropolitan Melbourne and Stage 3 restrictions all across Victoria… the property market HAS been impacted as a result.
So, not only are we getting the update from the National Representative of Victoria, Leah Calnan, President of Real Estate Institute of Victoria about what we CAN and CAN’T do when it comes to property here in VIC, you’re also going to learn how (and if it’s even possible!) to transact property with these harsh restrictions now in place… and what the next six weeks is potentially going to look like for buyers, sellers, and renters.
PLUS, for our folks NOT located in or looking to buy in Victoria right now… our longstanding friend and indeed one of Australia’s best property and economic experts Nerida Conisbee, Chief Economist at REA Group, also joins us for a deep dive on what’s currently happening in the individual segments of the Australian property market including…
- Off The Plan
- House & Land
- Fringe Urban
- Middle Ring
- Inner Urban
- CBD
- Apartments
- Short term let stock
It’s a BIG ep… but we promise there are plenty of new updates and quality gold in here that we simply couldn’t NOT share with you! (Let’s just say there’s A LOT happening!!!)
