Cameron Kusher Lifts the Lid on Australia’s Property Market Trends
Manage episode 445013664 series 2445782
What’s really going on in Australia’s property market? In this episode, we sit down with Cameron Kusher, Executive Director of Economic Research at REA Group, to unpack the trends shaping the Australian property market right now.
With access to some of the country’s most comprehensive property data, Cameron sheds light on what buyers are searching for, where listings are rising, and how this all connects to transactions and prices.
We dig into regional differences in price growth—why places like Perth and Adelaide are surging, while Melbourne struggles—and what’s driving these changes. Cameron explains how the rental market is finally loosening up, making it easier for sellers to transition, and we discuss the growing influence of investors in certain areas. We also talk through the impact of interest rates and how expectations of future cuts are influencing sellers’ behaviour.
There’s a fascinating shift happening with buyers too—more selectiveness, fewer bidders at auctions, and changing preferences driven by necessity rather than desire. We touch on how affordability is pushing renters out to the fringes, and Cameron shares insights into how the work-from-anywhere trend is reshaping migration patterns.
This episode really gets under the hood of the property market. If you’re curious about how things are tracking and what’s around the corner, you won’t want to miss it!
