I’ve often said that demographic changes will be more important in shaping our property markets in the medium to long term than the ups and downs of interest rates or the vagaries of our economy, so I am pleased to have leading demographer Simon Kuestenmacher back on the show. Simon is a co-founder of The Demographics Group and a master in interpreting data and trends to forecast how societies evolve, and his insights are pivotal for anyone interested in property, lifestyle changes, and investment strategies. Today, we talk about what's ahead over the next 10 years and how each generation will experience the year 2033. Together, we'll delve into demographic shifts, technological influences on living spaces, and the impact of economic policies on housing trends.

Today I’m going to discuss several topics of interest for property investors with Mike Mortlock, the Managing Director of MCG Quantity Surveyors. Mike's team has recently released a report titled 'Rising Tide of Unit Rents Closes Gap with Houses in Major Capitals' that sheds light on some transformative trends and provides an understanding of the shifts in housing affordability and renter preferences. We also talk about the growing concern that the government may look at changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax before the next election and discuss the other side of the equation, about the important role property investors, play in our housing markets.

I want to do this to help ensure that your investments outperform the market averages over the long term. Today this topic is so important it's just going to be you and me as I share with you what causes property markets to boom and bust.

Today, we're diving into a topic that's making waves in the property market. I’m joined by Julie Toth, Chief Economist at PEXA, to discuss the findings of their 2023 Cash Purchases Report, which sheds light on a startling trend: over a quarter of residential properties in Australia's eastern states were bought with cash in 2023. These cash buyers were immune to interest-rate heights and in a market typically swayed by mortgage rates and lending criteria, so together with Julie, we'll explore the implications of this trend, the profile of these cash buyers, and what it all means for the future of the Australian property landscape. From potential impacts on housing affordability to the ripple effects on the broader economy, we're set to uncover some truly eye-opening insights.
