Property Investment, Success & Money | The Michael Yardney Podcast Are our property markets really just a Ponzi Scheme? With Brett Warren
It's a question that echoes through conversations among frustrated Australians, especially younger generations who find themselves priced out of the housing market: Is this all a Ponzi scheme?
The surge in property prices has not only locked out many potential first-time home buyers but has also sparked a fiery debate about the sustainability and ethics of our housing economy, likening our housing markets to a speculative Ponzi scheme.
Is this really true?
That’s what Brett Warren and I discuss in this episode of The Michael Yardney Podcast.
Takeaways
- The housing market is often misunderstood by younger generations.
- Owner-occupiers make up a significant portion of the market.
- Ponzi schemes involve fraudulent investment practices, unlike the housing market.

- The current market is not in a bubble, but cyclical fluctuations exist.
- Investing should be approached with a long-term perspective.
- Having a strategic plan is vital for navigating the property market.
