Momentum Media’s Real Estate Business and Smart Property Investment brands have launched the First Property Buyer Show, showcasing expert insights to help young Australians navigate the housing market and enter the housing ladder.
As housing affordability continues to dominate headlines, Real Estate Business and Smart Property Investment have introduced their latest podcast series: the First Property Buyer Show, helping young Australians navigate this complex market.
Designed to demystify the process, the podcast will empower first-time buyers with the practical knowledge and confidence they need to enter the property market.
Hosted by seasoned journalist and podcaster Emilie Lauer, the show draws on the experience of leading voices from across real estate, from top-performing buyers’ agents and auctioneers to economists, mortgage brokers and veteran investors.
Each episode delivers real-world insights to help young Australians make informed decisions about their property journey.
“There’s no shortage of information out there, but not all of it is accessible, practical or geared towards first home buyers,” Lauer said.
“As someone going on their first property journey, I have questions on everything from mortgages to where I should buy. It makes sense to document my interviews with the industry’s best and brightest to share it with young Australians in my position.”
The First Property Buyer Show breaks down common challenges and misconceptions that can trip up aspiring buyers. Whether listeners are trying to decide between an interest-only or principal-and-interest (P&I) loan, grappling with whether to buy or “rentvest”, or figuring out how auctions really work, the podcast provides clear and candid advice to help them make the right move.
Recent episodes have tackled topics such as saving for a deposit, government incentives for first home buyers, decoding pre-approval, and how to read the market in an era of rising interest rates.
Guests share both strategic guidance and personal stories – painting a realistic, yet hopeful picture of what it takes to secure a first home in today’s climate.
Lauer emphasised that the show is as much about education as it is about inspiration: “So many young Australians feel that owning property is out of reach. This podcast is about equipping them with the tools, tactics and mindset to take the first step.”
For those keen to contribute their expertise – whether it’s tips on what to look for during an inspection, how to navigate auction day or smart rentvesting strategies – Lauer encourages listeners and professionals to get in touch via
The First Property Buyer Show is now streaming on all major podcast platforms, with new episodes released weekly.
