Elise

If you are still in holiday mode, lucky you.

The weekend is coming up if you are back at work.

And a reminder, our email address is myrealestatepodcast at gmail.com.

Perhaps let us know how your journey is being mapped out for 2026.

You know, over the Christmas, New Year period, you've been doing a lot of talking, a lot of analysing the property market.

Let us know what you have decided, or better still, we've got our voice recorder.

where you can leave us a voice message.

That recorder is in the show notes below.

Yeah, Friday morning, January the 9th, and we are back into the time tunnel this morning with our summer series of real estate.

So many highs and lows from last year, which is now behind us.

If you are like me, I never tend to look back.

only forward thinking, which is kind of in the job description.

However, this morning, we will go back in time, and that is next.

There is this early sign of recovery that we talked about last week, which is starting to emerge.

Elise, I want to ask you about the first home buyer market, some of your observations, particularly around where mum and dad have decided to put some money in to help their children.

Is there a little bit more confidence as a result of, as I mentioned before the break, those rates coming down?

All right well let's talk about auctions because Melbourne's pretty big for auctions and I think you like auctions Elise so what's happening around auctions at the moment?

So in Ipswich, in terms of these larger blocks...

How much heat in the market at the moment is there from people from, you know, let's say moving from a Melbourne coming into your region or a Brisbane and they're wanting larger land blocks?

How busy is that at the moment for you?
