Is the Australian housing market ready for Gen Z?

from Live proud podcast · host Frasers Property Australia

In this episode of the Live proud podcast, we’re putting a generation under the microscope — Gen Z.

But despite the headlines, many are still finding ways to make homeownership happen — even if it looks very different from the traditional path.Our guest is Lucy Callahan, a 25-year-old renter who’s balancing career, travel dreams, and long-term goals of owning her own home. She’ll share what she and her friends are really thinking about property, how they’re getting creative with deposits and partnerships, and why sustainability and flexibility matter as much as square metres.The views, opinions, estimates, forecasts, and recommendations expressed in this podcast are those of Frasers Property Australia and any guest speakers and are provided in good faith based on information believed to be accurate and not misleading at the time of recording.
