Property Market Update – Where Prices Are Rising the Fastest | Dr Andrew Wilson
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
Interest rates are rising again. Inflation isn’t backing off. Sydney and Melbourne’s property markets are a little wobbly. And yet… National house prices are up more than 10% over the past year, and some capitals are still delivering boom-time results. So what’s really going on in Australia’s property markets right now? That's what I discussed today with Australia's leading housing economist, Dr Andrew Wilson, Chief Economist at My Housing Market, to unpack his latest housing market report and there are some fascinating contradictions. ...

Why Inflation Isn’t Dying - And What the RBA Will Do Next that property investors must understand. Ken Raiss
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
Inflation has eased… except where it hasn’t. Interest rates were meant to be heading down… until they weren’t. And suddenly everyone’s blaming government spending. But is Canberra really the culprit - or is that just a convenient headline? Today, Ken Raiss and I unpack what’s actually driving Australia’s sticky inflation, why the RBA is worried about “capacity constraints”, and what policy makers could do that would genuinely take pressure off prices - without smashing households and without sabotaging the property market. Now you've probably read about inflation and heard...

The Silent Shift Reshaping Australia’s Property Market | Simon Kuestenmacher
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
What if I told you that one of the most significant demographic shifts shaping our cities, our housing markets, and even our social lives over the next few decades… isn’t migration, isn’t birth rates, and isn’t ageing? It’s something far more personal. In today’s show, Simon Kuestenmacher and I are talking about a silent revolution - the rise of the single-person household. More Australians than ever are living alone, and it’s not just retirees or Gen Zs in tiny apartments. From the newly single at 54 to the solo 29-year-old navigating life on their terms,...

The 5 Step Process That Rewires Your Brain for Wealth | Tom Corley
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
What if the biggest obstacle between you and the life you want isn’t the market, the economy or your upbringing... but your programming? What if your money habits, your emotional reactions and even your results as a property investor are simply the byproducts of a mindset you inherited rather than chose? And what if you could rewrite that programming? In today’s show Tom Corley and I discuss how early life experiences shape our habits and beliefs, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness, gratitude, continuous learning, and building relationships.

Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
Today Ken Raiss and I reflect on the evolution of property investment over the past two decades, discussing significant changes in demographics, market conditions, and more importantly, what hasn’t changed. Because if you understand that, you’ll be far better positioned to thrive in the next property cycle. Takeaways Investing in property requires a long-term perspective.

Why Home Ownership Is Falling – And What It Means for Australia’s Property Future | Simon Kuestenmacher
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
Today, Simon Kuestenmacher and I examine the evolving landscape of home ownership in Australia. For generations, owning a home has been at the heart of the Australian dream. In 1966, nearly three-quarters of Australian households owned their home, either outright or with a mortgage. Fast-forward to the 2021 Census, and that figure had slipped to just 63 per cent. For younger Australians, the drop has been even steeper. And while renting is far more common today, the cost of entry into home ownership has never been higher. So what’s driving this change? Is it...

Why This Rate Rise Is Creating a Window of Opportunity for Property Investors
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
At its first meeting for 2026, the Reserve Bank lifted the cash rate to 3.85%, as most economists expected. That move officially ends the shortest and most modest rate-cutting cycle since the RBA began inflation targeting back in 1993. So what does this really mean for property investors, home buyers, and Australia’s housing markets? That’s what I’m going to unpack, along with Dr Andrew Wilson’s latest housing market data for January. Now, let me give you a quick spoiler alert. Yes, this rate rise will take some heat out of buyer demand in...

Why Most Australians Never Build Real Wealth – And How To Get Ahead
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
Today’s show is going to hit close to home for a lot of Australians. Because despite living in one of the richest countries on the planet, the vast majority of Aussies are quietly battling something uncomfortable – the inability to actually build their wealth. We’re working harder than ever. We’re earning more than ever. But most households still feel like they’re running on a treadmill. Why is that? Well, it’s rarely about income. It’s rarely about intelligence. It’s rarely about effort. Today I’m joined by Australia’s leading...

How Can Property Prices Keep Rising When So Many Australians Can’t Afford to Buy?
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
Have you ever looked at today’s property prices and wondered, How is this even possible? How can values keep climbing when interest rates are still high, affordability is stretched to breaking point, and so many Australians feel locked out of the market? You’re not alone. It feels counterintuitive. It feels unfair. And for many, it feels completely unsustainable. But here’s the uncomfortable truth about our housing market - and it’s the part most people don’t want to hear. Property prices don’t rise because the average Australian can afford them. They rise...
info_outlineHave you ever wondered why some locations that could be labelled as 'secondary’ outperform the established blue-chip suburbs?
What drives this unexpected surge in property value, and more importantly, is this a trend that savvy investors should be paying attention to?
Should you be looking for these suburbs, or should you stick to blue-chip locations?
