The conversation explores capital city differences, the rise of apartments and medium density living, affordability misconceptions, and why micro level analysis matters more than ever.They also dive deep into Brisbane’s Olympic driven transformation, unpacking where infrastructure will and will not create value, how population growth will reshape inner city corridors, and why the Olympics is a decade long property story rather than a two week event.This episode is essential listening for investors and decision makers who want to look beyond headlines, understand true drivers of growth, and position themselves for long term performance in a changing market.
