Property Investment, Success & Money | The Michael Yardney Podcast Policies, Promises & Property Prices: What’s next for our housing markets? With Simon Kuestenmacher and Brett Warren
The election already feels like old news. The campaign ads are off the air, the polling booths are packed away, and the headlines have moved on to the next big story.
But make no mistake—what happened at the ballot box is going to shape our property markets for years to come.
In this episode of the Michael Yardney Podcast, we unpack exactly what the recent election results mean for you as a property investor, homeowner, or aspiring buyer.
After Wealth Retreat a couple of weeks ago Brett Warren, National Director of Property at Metropole, took demographer Simon Kuestenmacher and me aside and we had a conversation about what the election outcome and what this tells us about the direction of housing policy, population growth, infrastructure, and the property investment landscape.
