As Australians prepare to head to the polls in May, an expert advises investors to not get caught up in the political noise and instead focus on the laid-out policies as well as other real estate trends that are shaping the property market.

In this episode, Right Property Group’s Steve Waters joins host Phil Tarrant to take stock of how the upcoming federal election is playing out and how its result will impact the country’s real estate markets and the economy.

The duo also discusses the different demographic, economic, and political factors that have set the tempo for rental yield trends and look at headwinds that landlords face, such as interest rates, inflation, and rising unaffordability.

They also lift the lid on the top real estate news that are trending and give their insights on the property market’s current state affairs.
