In this episode, Stuart delves into the long-term future of property investing in Australia and what it means for investors. With a federal election on the horizon in May 2025, housing affordability is set to take centre stage, but will it result in real change? Stuart explains why government reliance on property-related taxes makes meaningful reform unlikely.

He explores the impact of high-density "activity centres" in Melbourne and Sydney, unpacking research that suggests these developments don’t harm local property values — and may even enhance them. He also highlights the broader challenge of increasing housing supply and the role infrastructure plays in shaping property prices.

Looking ahead, Stuart discusses how emerging technologies like robotaxis could reshape commuting and influence the demand for inner-city living. Will distance from the CBD matter if you can work or relax during your commute?

With thoughtful insights and evidence-backed analysis, this episode provides clarity on how key factors like government policy, urban development, and technological advances may affect long-term property prices. Investors will leave with a clearer view of why high-quality, investment-grade properties remain a smart bet for the future. Don’t miss this forward-looking take on property investing in Australia.
