[PODCAST] Key Trends Shaping Australia’s Property Market in 2025 | Big Picture Podcast with Pete Wargent

Our housing markets have been remarkably resilient over the last year, despite high interest rates even though the RBA didn’t drop interest rates this year, as many expected.

With inflation falling faster than expected, there is now the anticipation of rate drops early next year and it seems that the gloom that descended on Australian consumers 2 ½ years ago is finally showing signs of lifting.

What does this mean for our economy and housing markets?

That’s exactly what Pete Wargent and I discussed in today’s show.

We also explore government policies' impact on property investment and analyze demographic trends affecting housing demand.

The conversation also touches on the challenges within the construction sector and the outlook for property investment in Australia, particularly in light of immigration and economic predictions for 2025.
