Australian Property Talk
Welcome to Australian Property Talk — I'm Redom, a property fanatic. I love sharing stories from the 1000's of investors i represent in my day job at one of Australia's biggest mortgage broking companies, Flint.
I have two brilliant co-hosts who bring a perfect blend of expertise on the economy, property trends and where to buy real estate!
One is a former Treasury economist, Curtis Stewart, who runs FlintInvest - an award winning mortgage broking company for property investors Australia-wide. His officially the smartest person i know, and full of golden nuggets!
My other co-host is Adi Chanda, a man everybody loves, a seasoned buyers agent with a giant property portfolio and fellow property nerd. Adi runs Alaya Property with me, adding in a unique economics driven property strategy that outperforms all the herd following data-driven agents dominating the buyers agency scene in 2025.

Australia's property and economic landscape is shifting fast and if you're a buyer, seller or investor, you need to understand what's happening right now.
In this episode, we break down the full interest rate story for 2026, what the latest inflation data really means, and why Sydney and Melbourne property prices are falling at nearly 1% per month. We unpack the RBA's dual mandate dilemma, the rising unemployment numbers and what leading economists are predicting for the rest of the year.
We take opposing views on what comes next — one of us sees rates flatlining or rising once more before a long period of stability, while the other makes a bold contrarian call: the Australian economy is far weaker than the data suggests, a rate-cutting cycle is coming sooner than most expect, and this current downturn is actually creating a rare golden buying window. Particularly at the top end of Sydney and Melbourne.
We also cover:
📌 Why May and June are the weakest months for sellers
📌 How top-end properties are already seeing 10%+ price declines
📌 The "wealth effect" and how falling house prices flow into the broader economy
📌 The AI employment storm and its impact on job creation
📌 Why throwing low-ball offers right now might be the smartest move
📌 What the smart money (the "heavy hitters") are doing in this market
Whether you're sitting on the fence, actively buying or trying to hold on as a seller this episode gives you the honest, unfiltered view of where we are and where we're heading.
