Episode #59
What Australia’s Housing Crisis Means for Melbourne Property Investors
In this episode Sky and Lindsay take a step back from the daily property headlines to explore the demographic forces shaping Australia’s housing market and Melbourne property in particular. Joining them is Simon Kuestenmacher, co-founder of The Demographics Group. Simon explains how demographics can help property investors understand where people will want to live, how household sizes are changing, and how population trends influence housing demand. The conversation explores Australia’s housing shortage, population growth, immigration and the ageing population, as well as the changing behaviour of baby boomers and millennials. The discussion also looks at the relationship between demographics, household spending and interest rates, and why demographic trends could have implications for the Australian economy and property market over the next decade. Episode highlights include: • How demographics can help property investors understand future housing demand • Why household numbers can be more important than population growth when assessing housing demand • How baby boomers and millennials are influencing spending, housing and interest rates • The scale and timing of Australia’s intergenerational wealth transfer • Why Melbourne’s middle suburbs could see significant townhouse development in the decades ahead Connect with Simon and the Demographics Group! simon@tdgp.com.au www.tdgp.com.au/simon-kuestenmacher www.instagram.com/simongerman600 x.com/simongerman600 Never miss an episode — hit SUBSCRIBE & FOLLOW now!
