Feb 2024Karen Millers

This week we start to present a balanced view of the property market.  

Over the next few weeks we will feature a range of respected property professionals and proven industry commentators from Bricks & Mortar Media’s annual property market forecast report that has just been released. 

Bushy starts today by catching up with the author of the report Nicola McDougall.  Nicola is a Director of Bricks & Mortar Media and as the Chair of the Property Investment Professionals of Australia, there is no one better to lead this conversation.

Property Professors Masterclass

Oct 23

A few weeks ago property investors from around Australia and New Zealand gathered to swap ideas, network, and listen to some very knowledgeable speakers share their experiences at the inaugural PIPA Conference. One of those keynote speakers was the previous PIPA Chair and continuing board member Peter Koulizos – also known as the Property Professor – who took everyone on a property and location masterclass.

While freezing rents may appear to be a simple way to increase rental housing affordability, the unintended consequences will have long-term negative impacts on the availability of rental housing stock, reducing the quality of housing and creating a black market in rental housing. PIPA’s chair Nicola McDougall explains why it is not as logical as it might seem.
