If current conditions hold, Australia will be in recession within 90 days. In this episode of the Positive Property Show, George Markoski and Christina Markoski go through the data driving that prediction, from collapsing consumer confidence and contracting GDP to inflation crushing real wages and a fuel stockpile vulnerability most Australians have no idea about.

George frames it through his economic seasons model: winter always follows autumn, and the investors who position themselves correctly before the season turns are the ones who benefit from the spring that follows. He predicts a brief dip in property prices, governments will print money and cut rates in response, and then the market will surge. He also makes a call that surprises many longtime listeners: Sydney and Melbourne are becoming worth buying in again. For the first time in years, George says he would consider adding both cities to his own portfolio.

Consumer confidence is at a 57-year low and Australians are scared. In this episode, George Markoski and Christina Markoski discuss why the oil crisis, as damaging as it feels right now, is setting up conditions that have historically preceded some of Australia's biggest property booms.

George explains the difference between demand-driven and energy-driven inflation, why the RBA's rate hike is the wrong tool for this problem, and how the Iran conflict is being fought as an economic war through the Strait of Hormuz as much as a physical one. He also introduces Barry, a Black-Belt Positive Property member who built a $2.5 million property profit, retired to Bali by investing through every downturn.

Consumer confidence is at a 50-year low, builders are going broke under fixed-price contracts as diesel and material costs surge, and the RBA is stuck in a catch-22 where every move creates a new problem.

In this Easter special of the Positive Property Show, George Markoski and Adam Albright discuss the data behind Australia's building crisis and explain why the structural case for property has not changed.

The construction industry is under real strain. But supply is shrinking, immigration continues outpacing new builds, and history is clear on what follows every major crisis. George goes on record predicting Melbourne will return to Australia's top three property markets from its current position as the most affordable capital in the country.

The world has changed fast in 2026, and property investors who are paying attention are positioning ahead of what could be the next major boom.

George Markoski breaks down the full picture, from the Middle East oil crisis and surging inflation to the structural housing shortage and the historical pattern that has repeated after every major crisis in Australian history.

Oil is up 57%. Real wages are back to 2011 levels. Australia is 81,000 homes behind its own building target. And yet Brisbane is up 116% since COVID, regional WA yields are hitting 10%, and every oil shock, recession, and financial crisis in Australian history has been followed by a property price surge. George names three reasons to act before April and explains exactly what the smartest investors are doing differently right now.

Everyone is talking about an Australian property crash. George Markoski and co-host Adam Albright go through the actual data to give an honest answer.

New Zealand's three-decade housing boom just ended. Canada is down 17% from its peak. George traces what caused both corrections, then compares those exact conditions to Australia today.

The answer comes down to one thing most commentators are not focusing on: immigration and the structural housing deficit. Australia is running a shortage of 200,000 to 300,000 homes, population growth is at record levels, and 66% of Australians still expect prices to rise. The fundamentals that triggered corrections elsewhere simply do not exist here in the same form.

The RBA just added $473 a month to the average mortgage, and the reason goes deeper than most commentators are reporting.

George Markoski and Christina Markoski trace the full chain: Iran's conflict has shut down the Strait of Hormuz, oil has spiked from $70 to $104 a barrel, and Australia's real fuel reserves sit at just 10 to 18 days. This is a supply-side crisis, and raising interest rates does nothing to fix it. What it does do is make life harder for every Australian with a mortgage.

George also makes the case that history is a reliable guide here. Every major economic crisis has ended with rate cuts, stimulus, and a property price surge. The investors who are already in the market when that shift happens are the ones who win. This episode tells you exactly what to do before that moment arrives.
