Episode 205: Should You Be Worried About Australia's Affordability Crisis? | Eliza Owen, CoreLogic

A property boom is great for those who are already in the market - but is it really? 

Today, we’re joined by Eliza Owen, Head of Residential Research Australia at CoreLogic. We explore the answer to questions like, “What risks are rising prices masking?” and talk about F.O.M.O., whether or not having two homes is immoral, the wealth effect, the highlights of the recent Pain and Gain Report, and more!
