In this episode of Positive Property Show, George Markoski and Charmaine Adams discuss the structural forces driving costs higher across the entire economy, why none of it is temporary, and why every headline about the housing crisis is the most bullish signal in the market for property owners.

The average Australian house is forecast to hit $1.13 million by mid-year. Build costs are up 74% since 2019. The $500,000 new build is gone forever. Three hundred builders are going broke every quarter. And 13.4 million new Australians are projected to arrive by 2065, with 81% heading to major cities where supply is already under the most pressure. George's conclusion is direct: owners win every time the system breaks. Renters pay the bill. Positive Property member Sharon also joins live to share how she and her husband Greg built a three-property portfolio as a train driver's family from Sydney, with a fourth property on the way and a goal of 10 properties before retirement.

Is Australian property in a bubble?

In this episode of the Positive Property Show, George Markoski and Christina Markoski debate both sides before going through a national sentiment survey that reveals what Australians are genuinely thinking about housing, money, and the future.

George's case: record high property prices are not a bubble signal. In every decade of Australian history you could say the same thing. That is inflation, not a bubble. What actually matters is whether demand can sustain current levels, and with 3,000 immigrants arriving every day and a construction industry heading toward another wave of cost spikes and collapses, the structural answer is yes. The survey results add another layer: one in three Australians is skipping the doctor because they cannot afford it, 34% need six figures just to get by, and the housing crisis is the single biggest cultural concern in the country. Positive Property member Tristan also joins live to share how he built $296,000 in property profit across two properties in under 12 months.

Australia’s housing crisis is accelerating and the 2026 Federal Budget may have just made it worse.

In this episode, George Markoski and Christina Markoski break down the economic reality behind soaring rents, collapsing affordability, rising construction costs, record migration, and the growing pressure on Australian households.

While politicians promise affordability, the numbers tell a very different story.

George explains:

• Why Australia’s housing shortage is deepening

• How the Federal Budget impacts investors and everyday Australians

• Why rents and property prices continue rising

• The real consequences of anti-investor policy

• What’s happening with inflation, interest rates, and supply

• Why this crisis cannot be solved without dramatically increasing housing stock

The episode also features a real client case study with Stephen and Nikki, sharing how they built their property portfolio, navigated the market, and changed their financial future through property investing.

If you want to understand where Australia’s property market is heading in 2026 and what smart investors are doing next, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
