Australia Has A Housing Shortage And It Is Getting Worse
Australia's housing target is falling behind, but the real story is even more alarming. In this episode, Hotspotting examines why Australia's housing supply crisis is worsening despite ambitious government promises. With approvals declining, construction costs rising and population growth accelerating, the nation is adding people faster than it is delivering homes. We break down the growing gap between approvals, commencements and completions, and explain why the shortage of housing is becoming a structural issue rather than a short-term cycle. Discover how taxes, labour shortages, planning delays and rising building costs are impacting the delivery of new homes, and what this could mean for property prices, rents and affordability across Australia. Whether you're a property investor, home buyer or simply interested in the future of the Australian property market, this episode delivers the data, insights and analysis you need to understand what comes next.

Property Investing - After the Budget
The proposed Federal Budget changes to Negative Gearing and Capital Gains Tax have created significant debate across Australia. But what do the numbers actually say? In this special episode of The Hotspotting Podcast, Tim Graham is joined by Joey D'Agata from Gameplans to move beyond the headlines and explore the real-world impact of the proposed reforms. Using live financial modelling, Joey walks through a series of investment scenarios comparing the current rules against the proposed changes. Together, they examine how these changes may affect cash flow, borrowing capacity, capital gains tax, and long-term wealth creation. More importantly, they explore whether the proposed reforms should actually change the way investors approach property investing moving forward. Topics covered include: ✅ What has actually changed with Negative Gearing and CGT ✅ The difference between new and established property under the proposed rules ✅ How deferred tax credits work ✅ Real-world portfolio modelling examples ✅ The impact on borrowing capacity and cash flow ✅ Why long-term capital growth remains critical ✅ Can investors still achieve their wealth and passive income goals? The conclusion may surprise you. While the rules may be changing, the modelling suggests the long-term outcomes for many investors may not be dramatically different from what the headlines imply. If you're a property investor, considering your next purchase, or simply trying to understand what these proposed changes could mean for your future, this is an episode you won't want to miss. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📞 Strategy Sessions with Terry Ryder & Tim Graham Throughout June, we're offering personalised one-on-one Strategy Sessions designed to help investors understand how these proposed changes may affect their portfolio, borrowing capacity, future acquisitions, and long-term wealth plans.

How Media Distorts Property Data And Misguides Investors
Most coverage of the Australian property market focuses on headlines, not reality. In this episode, we unpack why mainstream media reporting can significantly distort how buyers, sellers, and investors perceive market conditions. We examine recent housing data from leading sources including Domain, Cotality, and PropTrack, revealing a more nuanced picture of Australia's real estate performance. While media narratives often emphasise short-term weakness, the broader data shows widespread growth across capital city and regional markets, particularly in house and unit price trends over recent quarters. This discussion breaks down how selective data interpretation, short-term thinking, and overemphasis on interest rate movements can lead to misleading conclusions about property cycles. We also explore why long-term, evidence-based analysis consistently outperforms headline-driven commentary when making real estate decisions. Whether you are a property investor, home buyer, or industry professional, this episode will help you separate signal from noise in Australian property market reporting. For over two decades, Hotspotting has delivered independent, data-driven property research to help Australians make informed real estate decisions based on evidence, not headlines. If you want a clearer understanding of what is really happening in the Australian property market, this episode is essential listening.
