Will Interest Rates Ever Fall Again? The Big Picture Podcast with Ken Raiss
Everyone was banking on another interest rate cut this year – but what if it never comes? In this month’ Big Picture Podcast, Ken Raiss and I will unpack why the economy is running hotter than expected, and what that means for rates, housing, and your mortgage. We also explain how the Bank of Mum and Dad is helping nearly 1 in 5 first-home buyers who get financial help from their parents and what this means for housing affordability. And we forecast how Australia’s rental crisis is about to get worse as investors are leaving the market in record numbers at a time when the government has no way of achieving its big housing targets. Takeaways · The economy is running hotter than expected. · First home buyers are increasingly relying on parental support. · Government incentives are making it easier for first home buyers. · Investor sentiment is declining due to regulatory uncertainty. · The property market is expected to remain strong despite challenges. · Interest rates are a key factor in the housing market dynamics. · Strategic property investment is crucial for long-term success. · Times of uncertainty can create opportunities for informed investors.

In today’s podcast, we are going to do something a little different. You see, one of the common questions I get asked is, “Michael, what’s your net worth?” It’s a question people are curious about—and I get why. However, rather than simply providing you with a number, I want to take you behind the scenes and share the principles, strategies, and mindset that have helped me achieve the financial freedom I enjoy today. We’ll talk about the stages of wealth creation, the power of leverage, and the lessons I’ve learned—sometimes the hard way—over the last five decades in property. And joining me for this conversation is Brett Warren, Director at Metropole, who will turn the tables and ask me the questions many of you have been wondering about. And the intention of today’s show is not to gloat, boast or show off, but to inspire you to build your own net worth.

Can Property Prices Really Keep Doubling every 10 years? Stuart Wemyss Explains
What if I told you that a $1 million property today could be worth $8 million in 30 years? Sounds unbelievable, right? It’s the kind of projection that makes people question whether Australia’s property market can really keep growing the way it has for the past 45 years. After all, with housing affordability constantly in the headlines and talk of “property bubbles,” isn’t 7% annual growth, meaning property value double every 10 years, a thing of the past? Today I’m joined by Stuart Wemyss, a respected financial advisor and author who has written an excellent blog unpacking this very topic: “Can annual property growth persist at 7%?” It’s a question he’s been getting from clients, and the answer isn’t as simple as yes or no. Today, we’re going to explore what really drives property prices, whether growth at that rate is sustainable, and most importantly, what it means for you as a property investor in today’s market. Takeaways · Property values have historically grown at about 7% annually. · Inflation has a significant impact on real property growth rates. · Not all properties will experience the same growth rates. · Affordability is a growing concern for first home buyers. · Regional markets have demonstrated resilience and growth during the COVID-19 pandemic. · Interest rates play a crucial role in property market dynamics. · Wealth transfer from baby boomers will impact property values. · Government incentives can create short-term price increases. · Investors should focus on locations with strong income growth. · Understanding market fundamentals is key to successful property investment.
