It's the Real Estate Podcast, brought to you by ANZ Home Loans for financial well-beings. And welcome to another episode of the Real Estate Podcast, available on iHeartRadio every morning and on Spotify and Apple and wherever you get your podcasts from. Well, it's Friday morning, it is back with us. Yes, the 23rd day for September for 2022 and a strange, strange, bizarre day yesterday.
having a public holiday to pay respects to the Queen. Some people making the comment to me yesterday that they didn't know what to do with themselves. Did it feel that way for you? I have to say that it did feel a little bit weird on a Thursday, but the good news is today is Friday and the weekend is nearly here.
And coming up, we are shortly going to be speaking with Rich Harvey about your property fears when buying any sort of real estate. Some of the emotions and the psychology of the whole process and some of the indicators for that fear. And one of the emotions of fear right at the minute is the war in the Ukraine.
And yesterday I saw a very interesting interview with a Russian former prime minister who said that he thinks that Putin will be replaced by the end of the year. And yesterday, of course, there were protests in the streets of Russia, people being arrested. But there seems to be this changing mood in Russia. And what a Christmas gift that would be if Putin is replaced by the end of the year.
And the former Prime Minister of Russia said that the war more than likely would stop straight away. And wouldn't that be a great start for our 2023? And what sort of a confidence would that send to the real estate market? If Putin is gone by New Year's Eve, imagine the celebration.
It's your weekday real estate breakfast with news, interviews and predictions every morning on The Real Estate Podcast. Well, a sought-after suburb in Canberra sold this week for just over $2.6 million in an auction for...
full of builders and developers scrapping it out to develop on the land so what do you get for 2.6 million in Canberra well 700 square meters in size that can accommodate single or multi-dwelling developments Yeah, this is a great confidence sign, isn't it? 16 registered bidders all looking to knock down the existing home and to rebuild.
Yarralumla is the suburb, so that is a great confidence sign. And if you're celebrating your birthday today for the 23rd of September, have a fantastic Friday. Just a couple of birthday calls.

Chapter 2: What are the common property fears when buying real estate?
So here to discuss this is buyers advocate Rich Harvey from propertybuyer.com.au, fresh from winning awards recently to help us uncover some of the major fears that many of today's vendors and buyers are facing. And a very good morning, Rich. Welcome back to the Real Estate Podcast. Good morning, Craig. Good to be with you again on a Friday.
And a weird day yesterday with that public holiday, a one-off. How did you go? Yeah, well, look, it's a bit strange. Normally have a holiday on a Thursday, but obviously it was done to honour the Queen, who has a remarkable life of service. I mean, if you've got to look at anyone in a leadership role who has both humility and unending service to their cause, no, you can't go past the Queen.
Yes, it's that one day to really remember her. So let's have a look at this whole fear aspect. One of the most common phrases that became part of the property culture, I guess, was this word FOMO that cuts straight to fear itself, doesn't it? It does.
Look, I'm going to be mentioning a whole bunch of acronyms today, Craig, and FOMO has been one that's bandied around so many times, fear of missing out. It just simply means that you've got lots of buyers who've been sitting on the sidelines and then saw prices rocketing up last year, you know, and they all went, oh, gosh, if I don't get into the market, I'm going to miss out.
And so people were just, you know, throwing hundreds of thousands of extra dollars at auction and at properties so that they could be part of the market and fear that if they didn't get in now, they'd never get in. And so it became just a self-fulfilling prophecy of purchases paying well above the price. And a lot of records were set because of that fear of missing out phenomenon.
Yeah, and that's kind of like tampered down somewhat. Now that the market has turned, we're hearing the phrase of a fear of overpaying. Again, another fear factor coming to the fore. Yeah, well, if you want to put an acronym to that one, F-O-O-P, FOOP. That's where literally everyone is sitting on the fence, fear of overpaying.
It's just simply because of interest rates rising, demand really slowing, and all of the buyers have just stopped in their tracks. So what we're seeing now is obviously softening prices and a lot lower transactions is another acronym called phobia or fear of being involved. People are now actually running the other way.
They've got their finances approved, but they're going to auction, but they're just standing there with their arms folded. They actually don't want to participate. Because they're all thinking, well, what about interest rates going higher? What if Russia really goes all out in the war? What if the US goes into recession?
And they basically convince themselves in their minds that prices are really going to crash. And as a result, they do nothing. And then often what happens, they regret taking action when they could have. And then the market will turn up again and they wish they had been involved. Yeah, yeah.
