ALMOST half a century ago the great Australian actor Peter Finch won an Academy Award for urging everyone to stick their heads out the window and shout “I’m as mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore.” In one of the greatest screen monologues ever, Finch’s character looked into the camera and declared “We know things are bad. Worse than bad. They’re crazy. It’s like everything everywhere is going crazy.” That was almost 50 years ago and in many ways things have gotten worse. So many aspects of life – from politics, social media, entertainment, and even retail shopping – have anRead More →

FOR the last few weeks the world’s economies have been on a financial rollercoaster ride that has left many investors nervous and queasy. The on-again, off-again tariff impositions by the Trump government in the United States have seen stock-markets behave like dodgem cars without steering wheels. Markets hate uncertainty. But those of us who work in management and letting rights have always admired the extraordinary resilience of our industry, and in this time of global uncertainty we can be glad we work in a business with strong foundations and a proven track record to weather storms of any kind. Buying into management and letting rightsRead More →

According to psychologists and counsellors there are five stages of grief. Denial, anger,  bargaining, depression and acceptance. Since the evening of Saturday 3rd May 2025,  and much to the managing director’s annoyance, I have been experiencing the  emotional roller coaster that grief provides. I have discovered that denial is not actually  the first emotional hurdle when a confronting event impacts one’s life. No, shock comes  first. Then you skip denial and move straight to anger. Not anger with the punters and  the winners. No, anger that the conservative side of politics managed to drop the ball  so spectacularly that a bunch of political hacks haveRead More →

REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella said the rate cut would provide welcome relief for borrowers and much-needed stimulus for new housing supply. “This cash rate cut is particularly critical for Queensland, where we’re experiencing above-average population growth and a pressing need for new housing construction,” Ms Mercorella said. “With the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games on the horizon, stimulating housing supplyRead More →

Queensland’s rental market has started 2025 with even fewer options for tenants, as vacancy rates continue to tighten across most of the state in the March 2025 quarter, with the number of tightening regions outweighing those that eased. According to the Real Estate Institute of Queensland’s (REIQ) latest Residential Vacancy Rate Report, released today, 24 of the 50 regions tightened, 12 held steady, and just 14 saw any relief. The statewide vacancy rate has slipped from 1.0% to 0.9% – breaking a three-quarter period of steady conditions and reinforcing the entrenched strain on rental supply. Notably, the pressure is being felt across most of theRead More →
