This week on DAYZERO, Angus is joined by a true heavyweight of the Australian proptech scene: Kent Lardner. As the co-founder of Pricefinder and former data lead for CoreLogic in both Australia and China, Kent has spent three decades building the data lakes that define how we value property today.

In this episode, Kent unpacks his transition from the "fax machine" era of the 90s to his new role as Head of Research at FOUNDIT. He shares incredible insights from his time in Beijing, the reality of building AVMs for the world’s largest banks, and how he is now using AI to analyze everything from floor plans to kitchen quality. Kent also breaks down the "bifurcation" of the 2026 market - explaining why competition is fierce for the budget-conscious, while "choice" is finally returning for the wealthy. It’s a masterclass in why median house prices are a myth and how data-driven advocacy is changing the game for buyers.
