Do Interest Rates Really Affect Property Prices?

In this video, we dive into the data that every property investor in Australia needs to see. Despite rising interest rates returning to the 5–6% range, Australian property prices keep climbing. Why? We unpack a powerful chart from property experts Longview, showing decades of historical data. Even when interest rates soared to 17% in the '80s, house prices doubled time and time again. The truth is, Australia’s market is powered by relentless demand, migration, and a tight housing supply — not rate changes. For investors looking to understand long-term trends, this video cuts through the noise and explains why population growth and demand dynamics matter far more than rate headlines. Whether you're a seasoned property investor or just starting out, these insights will help guide smarter decisions in today's high-rate environment.

Property investors are chasing 6% yields in 2025—but is that actually enough to deliver positive cash flow?

If you're serious about property investing, portfolio growth, and long-term wealth creation, this is the video you need to see before buying your next investment property.
