On The Call

Property under pressure, IPO mania on Wall St


Listen Later

The collapse of Dashdot — one of Australia's most prominent buyer's agencies — raises a bigger question about whether the property market is hitting an inflection point. Meanwhile, Anthropic files for a blockbuster IPO in a trillion-dollar race with SpaceX and OpenAI.


We discuss:

  • Dashdot's collapse being a significant signal of a turning property market.
  • The role of negative gearing  and CGT changes in investor appetite 
  • Rising insolvency risks across property-related businesses, from buyer's agents to mortgage brokers
  • The political difficulty of making housing more affordable when existing owners are disadvantaged
  • Anthropic's Claude Mythos expansion to 200 organisations and the confusion in Australia about who's on the list
  • Anthropic, OpenAI, and SpaceX racing to be first to IPO 
  • Whether or not public markets can absorb three trillion-dollar floats at once
