Property Hub - Investment Insights & Inspiration

There is a lot of talk about AI - Artificial Intelligence.  The way we buy and sell real estate has not changed in almost 40 years - since the internet impacted the process. AI will change that!  Kylie Davis is a leading authority on the Australian proptech landscape and the founder and president of the Proptech Association of Australia.  Property is a massive, fragmented industry overdue for an upgrade.  Make no mistake - the real estate industry will be affected by AI.  So too, will buyers and sellers.  One of our sponsors - Realty.com.au this week launched AI powered Discovery Search which will change how we find the home we are looking for.  We will tell you more about Realty’s Discovery Search next week.

A few weeks ago property investors from around Australia and New Zealand gathered to swap ideas, network, and listen to some very knowledgeable speakers share their experiences at the inaugural PIPA Conference.  One of those keynote speakers was the previous Property Investment Professionals of Australia or PIPA Chair and continuing board member Peter Koulizos - also known as the Property Professor - who took everyone on a property and location masterclass. Our own Bushy Martin was the emcee at the event and was so impressed with the information Peter went through that he invited Peter to join him in a full Realty Talk show and today is the day.  So get your note paper and pen out because you are about to hear some very powerful insights.

Instead of having property loans draining your income for 30 years, imagine paying them off in just a fraction of that time. It's possible, and Serina Bird reveals how.  Serina (who first joined Get Invested back on episode 129) is a finance writer, podcaster and author who is a self-made millionaire who now helps people save money and live more meaningful lives. She is the host of The Joyful Frugalista podcast and author of The Joyful Frugalista and The Joyful Startup Guide. She writes a regular column with Money Magazine that encourages people to spend less and save more (with joy) on the path to financial empowerment. The latest ABS Census confirms that about 35% of Australia's 9.8 million homes are owned with a mortgage, and a recent report indicates that on average, home loaners currently need to spend between 40-45% of their income on mortgage repayments. Now the national average mortgage level has increased by 36% since 2018 to around $600K according to the latest ABS figures, which means that repayments are now about $3,600 dollars each and every month, based on a principle and interest loan at 6% - this is a big chunk of anyone’s income. And most Aussies are stuck with this noose around their necks for 25 - 30 years! But as Serina reveals today, it doesn't have to be that way. She says there are a myriad of ways that you can knock big holes in your home loan and pay it off much sooner, without limiting your lifestyle.

There is no doubt there have been a lot of changes in the last few decades in how we buy a family home, invest in property or sell a property.  Technology has played a big part in shaping those changes.   One thing that has not changed though - despite technology – is the significance of getting the right agent.  Property marketing is like fashion trends - forever evolving and changing.   Likewise, agents are constantly looking for ways to stand out.  The goal of every agent is to stand out enough, so they are called in for advice by any potential seller.  This scramble to self-promote by agents can lead to confusion for a seller looking for the best agent.
