Episode Details

Existing property prices are starting to move. And it matters more for builders than most people realise.

In this Monday episode, Az is joined again by Emily Pollard from Nesta Builder Brokers to make sense of what is happening in the market right now.

They start with DropBee (dropbee.au), a live dashboard built by a developer on Reddit that maps property price drops across Australia as they happen. At the time of recording there were more than 1,600 price drops across Queensland alone.

From there the conversation opens up. Why homes under one million are holding while the two to three million dollar end is softening. How existing property prices feed straight into land values, feasibilities and build costs. And what builders and developers running put and call contracts should be watching when it comes to market uplift.

It also gets honest about the human side. Mortgage stress, the pressure to always go bigger and better, and whether the family home has quietly become a show pony instead of somewhere to actually live.

Practical, grounded, and worth a listen if you build, sell or develop in the current market.
