We interviewed Pete back in 2018 in episode 24 and we brought him back to talk about the current situation of the property market locally and abroad. Pete Wargent is an internationally recognised speaker, versed in all thing property from buying to selling and all the financial components associated. Opening up on the dialogue surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic we pose the question, how will Australia thrive on the other side of this crisis and what should individuals do now and in the future to protect themselves.

Here’s what we covered:

• How does the economy bounce back from the downturn?
• What downturns are similar to what we are currently experiencing?
• Is the Government doing enough?
• What is happening to the global property market?
• How the Australian economy is performing against the global economy?
• How labour mobility will decrease.
• What will protect our economy in the future?
• How is the frontline of real estate coping during the crisis?
• Why is there a record number of loan applications?
• Why is the Australian Dollar going to suffer so much?
• Where are the scarce properties in QLD?
• What to do with your mortgage?
