Is the Aussie property market actually crashing? A property expert weighs in

August 13, 2026Hosted by: Sam Koslowski and Emma Gillespie

House prices are falling across Australia, but that might not make it any easier for potential first home buyers to buy one. Sydney and Melbourne are leading the slide, interest rate rises have quietly slashed how much buyers can borrow, and new tax changes are reshaping the investor market. For renters, the market is feeling almost entirely different. 

On today’s podcast, we’re joined by Cotality's Gerard Burg - someone who is an expert in the ups and downs of our housing market - to unpack what's really driving this shift, what it means whether you're buying or renting, and whether he’s ready to describe it as a crisis. 

Hosts: Sam Koslowski and Emma Gillespie
Guest: Gerard Burg - Head of Research, Coality Australia
