In this episode of Talk Property To Me, hosts Brad East and Aaron Downie unpack Australia's biggest housing challenges right now — rising unemployment, a slowing construction industry, and a record number of luxury homes for sale in Sydney.
As unemployment hits a four-year high, the RBA faces a tough decision: when will the next interest rate cut come, and what will it mean for homeowners, builders, and first-home buyers? They also explore why building completion rates are falling, how labour shortages and high construction costs are creating pressure, and what the government's 1.2 million homes target by 2029 really means for the market.
