So it's an interesting conversation coming up in just a moment. And I see that monkeypox has spread to Western Australia with a person infected with the disease. There are now five cases of monkeypox in New South Wales and three cases in Victoria.
Host (Craig) 0:54
And it comes as the World Health Organization warned of the virus posing a real risk and they've called for an emergency summit. Gosh, there's always something, isn't there, just to keep us guessing and on our toes.

And in Sydney, fine and sunny with blue skies and a high of 20 degrees. A contrasting difference in Melbourne though, just one word for you, showers and 15 is your forecast high. Brisbane expect another sunny day with 24 degrees. And in Perth, expect a little bit of cloud hanging around, but mainly dry, and your top is 22 degrees. enjoy your morning coffee wake up every morning to the real estate podcast well are we living in a third world country when it comes to australia's energy crisis overnight hospitals were ordered to cut down on electricity use in an effort to avoid rolling blackouts albanese he said his message to the energy companies is that they've got a responsibility to their customers
Host (Craig) 2:07
And they've got to do the right thing. He says that we need to end the sort of nonsense that we've seen over the last decade, where there's been 22 different energy policies announced, but none of them landed. And it's probably an issue the new government has to take the lead on and negotiate a way out of this all too familiar mess.

We feature market updates, interviews and trends. It's your real estate podcast for breakfast.
Host (Craig) 2:35
Well, whichever way you look at it, the rise in the cash rate is here to stay for a while, isn't it?

How can first home buyers navigate rising interest rates?

Host (Craig) 2:41
How do you fight against it? What can you do to improve your anti-mortgage rate rises that have been unleashed? Well, sadly, many would say probably nothing, zero, zip. Just a classic example of a homeowner being squeezed because of the runaway inflation rate. Well, suck it up, people are told. Get on with it. Yeah, easier said than done. Well, the other day I was reading an opinion piece by Alice Stoltz, Domain's National Managing Editor, And she said the RBA left no room for ambiguity. Interest rate rises ain't over yet and there are certainly more to come. We have come out of a property cycle that has seen extraordinary growth. Last quarter, Australia's national medium house price was over $1 million, up 18.4% on year.
Host (Craig) 3:41
However, now the party's clearly over. Alice goes on to say, but the fact we knew a further rise was coming doesn't make it a less bitter pill to swallow. She says, I'm endeavouring to find some bright spots in what feels like a dark cloud. Well, that seems like the appropriate moment to bring Alice into the conversation. Good morning, Alice. Great to have you back on the show.
Alice Stolz 4:07
Good morning, Craig, and thank you for having me.
Host (Craig) 4:09
Sounds like you're kind of thinking a little bit less negative thoughts around rising interest rates, which is good.

What mindset shifts can help during economic challenges?

Host (Craig) 4:18
And you've got some pointers for people. And the first one is first home buyers. You say, now it's your time.
Alice Stolz 4:28
Look, that's right, Craig. I kind of got through the end of a bit of a vicious media cycle last week where every morning I was talking around this sort of terrible scenario of rising interest rates. And it sort of brought me back down to earth by the end of the week when I reflected on the fact that, you know, a month or so ago, we're all scratching our heads wondering how we're going to tackle this.
