Hey, welcome back to the Real Estate Breakfast as we dissect the Australian property market together.
And this week, interestingly, we have been looking back at the 1970s real estate in Australia.
Which was a time of change for the country?
And just picking it up from where we left off a couple of days ago, outer suburban expansion accelerated across Brisbane, Perth and Melbourne's fringe in the 1970s.
Larger house and land packages became the dominant ownership model and
which really did reinforce Australia's suburban identity and preference for detached homes.
And by the late 1970s, higher density living began gaining traction, especially in inner Sydney and Melbourne.
Australia experienced high inflation throughout the 1970s, which directly impacted mortgage rates and borrowing power.
Now, property became both a hedge against inflation and a risk during economic instability, a theme that still resonates very much in today's modern cycles.
And the one thing that is clear with looking back into the 1970s when it comes to real estate is that there were challenges.
There were high interest rates and there was uncertainty.
And we think, and I mentioned this a couple of days ago, that what is happening to us now is unique.
No, it ain't.
It happens in other cycles.
And if you're struggling at the moment within real estate, you might want to let us know how your property journey is going.
You can always reach us on our email, which is myrealestatepodcast at gmail.com.
Now, it is a Friday, February the 20th, and what we were just talking about with the struggles kind of leads us in nicely to what we're going to be talking about this morning.
Because nine in ten prospective Australian homebuyers are jeopardising their property dreams by leaking property.
up to $1,500 monthly on a silent spending spree.
Now, PropTrack tells us that these small daily convenience purchases from subscription services to food delivery apps significantly reduce borrowing capacity.
