  2. The Upside of Upmarkets: Winners and Losers in the Property Game? With Simon Kuestenmacher

May 19, 2025

In today show Simon Kuestenmacher and I discuss a topic that won’t stay out of the news this year with the federal election coming up — house prices.

Whether they’re climbing to new heights or stabilising, the property market has ripple effects that impact us all.

But here’s the big question we discuss today: When house prices are high, are there more winners or losers?

Takeaways

·        The Australian housing market has historically created more winners than losers.

·        Government policies often favor those already owning property, making it harder for first-time home buyers.

·        High property prices benefit a wide range of stakeholders, including banks and developers.

·        First home buyer grants tend to inadvertently drive up house prices.

·        Younger voters are increasingly disillusioned with major political parties due to housing policies.

·        The widening wealth gap is creating social unrest among younger generations.

·        Immigration policies need to be re-evaluated to ensure housing affordability for all.

·        Political parties must balance the interests of homeowners and renters to maintain stability.

·        There is a need for more transparent discussions about housing affordability.

·        The future of housing affordability will depend on effective government action and policy changes.
