Who's really in control when you buy a property? The Elephant In The Room is where the things that no one wants to talk about, actually get talked about. Veronica Morgan, real estate agent, buyers agent and co-host of Foxtel’s Location Location Location Australia & Chris Bates, financial planner, mortgage broker and wealth coach have joined forces to find out what’s really going on in the world of real estate. Veronica and Chris talk to property owners and buyers every day in their respective lines of business. They’ve observed a wide spectrum of confidence in people’s decision making ability when buying and selling property, often to the detriment of the individuals concerned. They are both fascinated by consumer behaviour and together they’re going to uncover who’s really making the decisions when you buy a property. In each episode they get into the psyche of buyers, agents, auctioneers and other industry experts to learn the truth about how buyers are influenced and why they do the things they do. In every episode you’ll learn from the mistakes of a “property dumbo” as well as Chris & Veronica’s “elephant rider bootcamp” training session. The plan? This property podcast has been created to help us all make better property decisions!2025 Veronica Morgan & Chris Bates 個人ファイナンス 政治・政府 経済学

  • Property Q&A: Zoning Shakeups, Rentvesting Moves & $600K Investment Myths Debunked
    2025/06/01

    What do zoning shakeups mean for your suburb, your street, and your property’s value? In this Q&A episode, we answer real questions from listeners and unpack the property market trends that are shaping the way people buy, build, and invest right now.

    We talk about what makes a home “A-grade” beyond land size and location, how to avoid overcapitalising, and why things like natural light and flexible layouts matter more than fancy finishes. We also break down the reality of rentvesting with a family and whether that under-$600K “positively geared” investment still exists.

    Here’s what we break down in this episode:

    • Zoning changes are reshaping Sydney’s character suburbs—some areas will win, others could lose.
    • Future-proofing your build matters: think layout, street appeal, and long-term resale.
    • High rental yield doesn’t always mean better—capital growth still does the heavy lifting.
    • Rentvesting only works if it fits your long-term goals and lifestyle.
    • Don’t chase trends. Understand why the property market is shifting before you buy.

    If these are the questions keeping you up at night, or at least making you pause, this episode’s worth a listen.

    Episode Highlights:

    00:00 - Introduction

    01:49 - How will zoning and development changes affect Sydney’s heritage suburbs?

    11:44 - What should I consider when building a home to maximise resale or rental value?

    18:50 - Are three-bedroom apartments really being bought by first home buyers?

    22:41 - Should I focus on capital growth or rental yield while building my portfolio?

    34:03 - Is it still possible to buy a positively geared property under $600K?

    43:56 - Should we rentvest or try to buy in an area we’ve been priced out of?

  • Inside Australia’s Housing Crisis: Broken Policy, Supply Myths & Market Limits
    2025/05/25
    What if everything we’re told about fixing Australia’s housing crisis is just scratching the surface? That’s the starting point for our conversation with Michele Adair, Managing Director of the Housing Trust and a long-time advocate for meaningful housing reform. Michele brings decades of experience and doesn’t hold back when talking about what’s really broken in the system. Throughout the episode, we cover key issues that are often ignored or oversimplified in the national conversation around Australia’s housing crisis, including: Why political promises rarely translate into real, on-the-ground housing outcomesThe limitations of the private market and why it can’t deliver genuinely affordable homesHow capital gains tax discounts cost the federal budget $23 billion a year – funds that could support social housingThe gap between housing policy and delivery, and how that disconnect keeps communities in crisisWhy the Housing Australia Future Fund is a step in the right direction, but severely underfunded and politically vulnerableThe urgent need for a 20-year national housing strategy that includes all levels of government and addresses workforce shortagesHow community housing providers are being stretched to the limit, despite being more efficient and regulated than many thinkWhy defining “affordable housing” matters, and how that definition has been lost at a federal level If you care about what’s happening in housing, or you’re just tired of hearing the same old solutions that clearly aren’t working, this one’s worth a listen.

  • From Dummy Bidders to Underquoting: What Auctioneers Know That You Don’t
    2025/05/18
    What really goes on in an auctioneer’s mind, and what do they see that most buyers and sellers don’t? In this episode, we chat with Emma Brown-Garrett, a seasoned auctioneer who’s been in the property world for over 20 years, to talk about everything most people misunderstand about auctions. Emma’s not just there to call numbers. She’s reading the room, guiding negotiations, and sometimes stepping in to rescue a sale when things aren’t going to plan. We asked her what she notices that tells her a buyer has more money to give, and she was very clear: it’s in the increments, the confidence, the speed of the bids. She also shared why so many buyers get it wrong by waiting too long or hoping someone will say “it’s on the market.” If you’re holding back for that moment, you might just miss out. And when it comes to underquoting, Emma doesn’t shy away from the tricky parts. She opens up about what’s legal, what’s fair, and how agents handle the pressure of changing buyer interest during a campaign. We also dive into the emotional side of auctions; those moments when people start bidding against each other out of ego, not strategy. Emma talks about how she handles it when it starts to feel more like a standoff than a sale, and why being involved from the start of a campaign makes a real difference. She’s not a “rock up on the day” kind of auctioneer, and that changes everything. If you’ve ever walked away from an auction feeling confused or frustrated, this conversation might just give you the clarity you’ve been missing. Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Introduction 00:55 - Who is Emma Brown-Garrett? 01:49 - What adds the most value to a property sale? 02:36 - Can auctioneers fix a bad auction setup? 04:21 - Are auctioneers expected to do more than just call bids? 05:31 - What auctioneers need to know before auction day 10:07 - What are the ingredients of a good auction from a seller’s perspective? 11:56 - Emma’s thoughts on agents being the auctioneers themselves 13:50 - The hardest auction Emma’s ever had to call 16:33 - Why being involved before auction day gives auctioneers an edge 20:23 - How auctioneers tell if a buyer has more money to spend 24:48 - Can you spot a dummy bidder? What do they look like? 27:52 - An auctioneer’s responsibility in ensuring that phone bidders are legitimate 29:36 - The role of an auctioneer when buyers start overbidding emotionally 32:09 - Is underquoting still a problem? What auctioneers see on the ground 35:44 - Common mistakes buyers make at auction (and how to avoid them) 39:13 - How has changing market conditions affected the way Emma approaches auctions 43:03 - Mistakes buyer’s agents make on auction day 46:01 - Why bids over $1 million can confuse auctioneers and buyers alike 48:51 - Emma Brown-Garrett’s property dumbo About Our Guest: Emma Brown-Garrett is a seasoned real estate auctioneer with over 20 years of experience in the property industry, beginning her career in residential sales with some of Sydney’s most respected boutique agencies. Known for her dynamic energy, adaptability, and sharp communication skills, Emma brings a deep understanding of both sales and auctioneering to every campaign. She is highly regarded for her ability to read the auction floor, guide complex negotiations, and build trust with buyers and sellers alike. As a committed professional who often works closely with agents and vendors throughout the entire campaign—not just on auction day—Emma has earned a reputation for delivering results with integrity, insight, and a personal touch.
