Hope you had a great weekend.

It is a Monday, February the 23rd.

New research out from the Regional Australia Institute tells us that Sydney residents are driving a significant migration to regional areas.

41% of people are considering a move due to high living costs and housing prices.

Is there any surprise there?

Probably not, but it is a massive number.

And because the housing market is set to grow, what is that figure amongst Gen Zs likely to be in five years from now?

Well over 60%, I'll put that to you.

It's a brain drain out of Australia's largest city.

And you've got to sort of add up how that's going to multiply because you've got AI with all of these forecast unemployment numbers that are going to follow.

So in five years' time, the landscape for Sydney will be very much a different one to the one that we're in right now.

So let's right now take you to Brisbane and catch up with Melinda Jennison.

She is a buyer's agent from Streamline Property.

And good morning, Melinda.

Welcome back for the first time for this year.

We talk about Sydney, you know, people moving into the regional areas.

It is happening where you are.

People in Brisbane going into the regional Queensland areas.

Yeah, living costs, what a nightmare every time we're going to the supermarket.
