Large-scale data has become a major component of research about human behavior and society. But how are interdisciplinary collaborations that use large-scale social data formed and maintained? What obstacles are encountered on the journey from idea conception to publication? In this podcast, we investigate these questions by probing the “research diaries” of scholars in computational social science and adjacent fields. We unmask the research process with the hope of normalizing the challenge ...

There are two opposing story lines circulating in news media about Australian real estate ownership. One story line, repeated regularly by media, is that the Great Australian Dream is dead and that young Australian adults can no longer afford to buy homes. The other one, revealed whenever the Australian Bureau of Statistics releases official data o…

The markets currently attracting our focus at Hotspotting are the ones we call “the second wind markets”. These are locations which experienced strong capital from 2020 to 2022, have been in the post-boom pause/correction phase for the past 18 months or so, and are now poised for another period of price growth. There are few better places to find s…

You can be forgiven for being confused about the Melbourne market. On the one hand, news media is full of stories about investors shunning Australia’s largest city because of draconian taxes and policies by the nation’s worst state government. There are also frequent articles about the lack of price escalation in Melbourne markets, at a time when m…

The trend we have termed “The Rise and Rise of Apartments” continues to pick up pace. Across Australia, more and more buyers are opting for attached dwellings for lifestyle, for affordability, for convenience and for safety. One of the features that draws growing numbers of buyers (and tenants) to apartments is location appeal. Not only do attached…

The official data shows that the cornerstone of the financial wellbeing of most Australian households is the family home. Over two-thirds of the household wealth in this country is residential property and, for most of them, this means their home - as most people don’t own investment properties. The family home is the foundation of the financial se…

There are many unhappy aspects of the rental shortage crisis that has afflicted Australia for several years and is likely to continue for many years into the future. But the saddest thing of all about this unprecedented calamity is that Australia deserves the pain it’s experiencing on this issue. Firstly, there’s the old adage that we get the polit…

The reality of the nation’s serious under-supply of homes is made starkly obvious by the emergence of shortages in the location best known for bouts of major over-supply. The Gold Coast, which traditionally has delivered weak capital growth because of regular periods of over-supply of high-rise apartments, these days has the opposite problem. The G…

Great property investments can be defined in different ways. Here’s a definition that will resonate with many investors:- A long-term lease to an international tenant, a high net rental yield and potential for capital growth from a property that occupies a large block in a high-profile location. It’s credentials like those that make service station…

The land and resources needed for the transition to clean energy are found disproportionately in rural places. Many rural communities now find themselves faced with a potential for clean energy development that brings both economic opportunities and political tensions, especially with the implementation of the Infrastructure and Investment in Jobs …

There really is no realistic prospect of rental vacancies rising significantly any time soon, which is grim news for tenants in most parts of Australia. Vacancy rates continue to be close to those historic lows that have become the norm in the past couple of years and I can’t see any way they will improve in the foreseeable future. The politicians …

There will continue to be upward pressure on prices and rents for the foreseeable future, with no end in sight for the imbalance between supply and demand in residential property markets across Australia. National valuation firm Herron Todd White reports that, nationally, home prices have increased for 17 consecutive months and the median home pric…

Real estate consumers tend to place their attention on the markets receiving the most media headlines, which primarily are the ones that have shown the biggest growth in the past month or the latest quarter or year. But that is not the best measure of which locations have been showing the best growth. To get a better picture of locations that out-p…

It’s the dream for many Australians: an annual income above $100,000 without working. It sounds too good to be true, but with sensible – and safe – investment strategies it’s possible. And it can be done in less than 10 years. Investment expert Danny Buxton says investors can steadily build a portfolio of six properties and give themselves multiple…

For a long time I have argued that housing is expensive in Australia because politicians have made it so – AND keep making decisions that add to the cost. The value of all residential real estate in this country is under-pinned by the cost of creating new dwellings – and those costs keep rising, way beyond the rate of inflation. One of the biggest …

Economists don’t understand residential real estate very well and they’re scratching their collective heads over why prices keep rising when interest rates are high. Here’s a couple of simple things to help them out: one is that, historically, there’s no evidence that rising interest rates lead to falling property prices. There’s nothing unusual ab…

Brisbane and Queensland increasingly are emerging as the property market destination with leading metrics pointing to out-performance in real estate.

The latest government data shows that household wealth in Australia continues to rise and residential property is the main reason for that. New data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics has shown that the wealth of Australian households has risen for a sixth consecutive quarter, with residential land and house prices the largest contributor.

Investors come to property markets in many different shapes and sizes, but our observation is that most are seeking a level of affordability. The official data shows that most Australians seeking to buy investment properties are not wealthy, with most having incomes below $100,000, and most have just one property or are buying a rental property for…

The unfortunate reality is that the core problems afflicting housing markets don’t get fixed because politicians don’t understand the problems AND they’re unwilling to consult with the people who do. If a state government gets the message that’s there’s a serious rental shortage, the only response will be to announce they’re going to build a millio…

One of the core reasons the national shortage of dwellings is so serious is that it coincides with a record increase in the nation’s population. The latest data shows that Australia’s population grew 651,000 in 2023, the highest number in the nation’s history. 84% of that growth was attributed to overseas migration. Now, the record level of populat…

The most concerning thing about the unprecedented shortages which afflict Australian real estate markets is not that they are driving up rents and prices across the nation. Alarming though that is for tenants and for first-home-buyers, the truly concerning thing is the myriad ways in which our elected representatives keep making those problems much…

Intel Corporation is building two multi-billion-dollar semiconductor chip fabrication plants in Licking County, Ohio.

According to our national newspaper, The Australian, the fact that property prices have continued to rise in spite of higher interest rates is, and I quote, “weird” – and apparently the people described by the newspaper as “experts” are scratching their heads about it. The article that contained this nonsense was just another plank in the ever-grow…

The most successful property investors have some features in common - and making decisions based on genuine research is one of the key ones. But those people are relatively rare. My observation of the behaviour of investors over four decades shows that more people make investment decisions based on media soundbites than on real research. And, as we…

The report we call The Pulse provides critical intelligence for property investors because it shows how you can get both a high rental yield and excellent capital growth if you choose your location well.

Victoria has become the state that property investors don’t want to know about, because its politicians at both state and local level appear to have declared open season on investors. The State Government in Victoria has a budget deficit problem and has made the decision that many politicians in Australia make, which is to resort to the housing mar…
