What if we stop immigration – will it really help our property markets? With Simon Kuestenmacher

Housing affordability, or the lack thereof, and the historically low vacancy rates, have often been blamed on a large number of overseas migrants coming to Australia, so what would happen if we stopped migration?

That’s what I’m going to be discussing today with leading demographer Simon Kuestenmacher..

However, this is a special episode of a new second podcast that I’ll be delivering to you each week with Simon.

Over the last four years, Simon has been one of the most popular regular guests on this podcast and because we both believe the demographics are going to be one of the main drivers of our property markets, business, and economy moving forward, we are publishing a separate podcast that we’re calling Demographics Decoded where we’re going to unravel the trends that will shape the future of your investment decisions business strategies and organizational planning.

While you're hearing the show today on the Michael Yardney podcast, Demographics Decoded has its own channel on all podcast Apps and YouTube.

I’m running the show here on the Michael Yardney podcast to give you a taste of what’s ahead, but please stop for a moment and look for demographics decoded on whichever podcast App you’re currently listening to this show on and subscribe to that show as well. I will leave a link in the show notes to make it easy.

If they stopped immigration the government would most likely look to nationalise our mining resources. Without population growth our cities would suffer greatly.
