And welcome to another episode of the Real Estate Podcast available on iHeartRadio and also Google and Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast from. Well, it's another Monday morning which rolled around pretty quickly. I hope that you had a great weekend. Let's have a look at the main set of forecasts with propertybuyer.com.au for Monday the 21st of March. And Sydney expecting a high today of 25 degrees and partly cloudy. Melbourne mostly fine with 27 degrees.
What is the great Australian dream and why should we rethink it?
Brisbane expecting a fine day with 27. And in Perth today expecting a high of 29 and partly cloudy. And we're going to be talking in just a moment to Alice Stultz, who is Domain's National Managing Editor. And in a recent opinion piece, she said that we need to rethink the great Australian dream. Undoubtedly, property ownership makes an abundance of sense financially as well as practically, but it is more than that. she goes on to say it's the security it brings today as well as tomorrow and ultimately the sense of place and belonging well let's bring alice in a very good morning alice and welcome to the real estate podcast good morning craig and thank you for having me it's great to be here and i should say well done you for coming on to the program because you are still recovering from covert
I am indeed. So hopefully listeners can forgive me if I sound a bit husky or the brain fog descends.
How does property ownership provide a sense of belonging?
But it's been a tricky sort of period, but I feel like I've turned the corner now.
How difficult has it been?
Look, I think what's been hard for me to manage with it is that it's just been sort of consistently not feeling amazing, which is pretty tough for someone like me. I normally go quite hard and actively through life. So it's really sort of put the brakes on a lot of the things I love to do and not having a sense of taste or smell has been debilitating and it's kind of torn through my whole family. Children, husband, the whole lot have ended up with it. It hasn't been super fun, but that's just a sign of the times.
What challenges do Australians face in accessing the property market?
And I suppose technology, we're so lucky, aren't we? Here you are sort of communicating from where you are and we're able to sort of soldier on.
I mean, gosh, can you imagine if we didn't have this? It's been a lifeline to the outside world for me. So it's really created a large amount of solace having access to technology, I've got to say.
Well, I mentioned that, you know, the sense of place and belonging, it is so true about belonging in this opinion piece that you wrote, as the home is a foundation that everything springs forward from, especially for a family starting out on the property ladder. And it seems in recent times the basic notion of having that is kind of out of reach for many Australians, do you feel?
Look, I really do think, and I think when we think about Australia, one of the things that people love about it is the access that we've traditionally all had to property.
How have expectations of home ownership changed in Australia?
And we know it brings great financial rewards for many, it brings security, but ultimately it also brings shelter. And I think we can sort of get a bit deep in the weeds of property and forget that it is providing that basic sense of shelter and protection. as well as a place in community, which I think is just fundamental to a well-functioning democracy and society.
And what about you yourself? Do you know people that have got this real challenging aspect of climbing into the property market?
Look, we see it all the time, Craig, that people are feeling so overwhelmed about how are they going to access this? How can they live the life that they were raised up to dream about? How do they get into that market? And I think a lot of it is that idea of having to make concessions or compromises along the way. But I think for many buyers, they think they have the luxury of automatically inheriting the dream that their parents had. And unfortunately, times have changed. And I suppose for me, I think it's important to think about for buyers to cut the cloth to the market that they're in.
