  • 85 – How Not to Be Heartbroken: Buyers Missing Out
    Jul 5 2025

    In this episode of Sydney Property Muppets, Chris and Kurt unpack the emotional rollercoaster buyers often face — especially when they come to the party too late.

    Missed opportunities, last-minute regrets, and the brutal truth that just because a property’s been on the market a while doesn’t mean it still will be tomorrow.

    Inside the episode:

    • Kurt gets HR-called by Jezz (again)…
    • A buyer arrives just hours before auction and is shocked the property sold — even though they hadn’t submitted an offer — despite the agent informing them they would more than likely be too late. They still got their hopes up.
    • Chris shares the story of a client who stretched the budget just a little too late, missing out to a prepared buyer who improved their offer
    • What agents really think when buyers stall or hesitate
    • A key reminder: if you like a property, care about it — just not too much

    Whether you're buying your first home or your fifth, this episode is a must-listen to avoid the heartbreak so many buyers are facing in 2025.

  • Ep 84. Market Update July 2025
    Jun 27 2025

    Chris & Kurt are back (again!) with a fresh take on Sydney's property scene.

    Yes… we recorded this episode twice (thanks to Chris forgetting to hit record the first time). But we’re calling that a win, because this version is even sharper and more insightful than the first.

    This month, we’re talking all about the tight stock levels in Sydney and what that means for buyers and sellers alike. Whether you're after a 2-bedroom apartment, 3-bedroom townhouse, or 3–4 bedroom house or semi, you'll know how tough it is out there right now — and you’re not alone.

    🏠 Key talking points:

    - The shortage of key property types across Sydney

    - How demand is driving competition and premium prices

    - Kurt reveals his team is selling around 15% of their properties off-market — a record high — and why those deals are achieving better prices than traditional auction campaigns

    If you're buying or selling in this market, this update is a must-watch.

  • 83. Pet Peeves and Pot Shots
    Jun 20 2025

    In this episode of The Sydney Property Muppets, Kurt and Chris dive into the lighter (and sometimes frustrating) side of real estate — personal pet peeves and industry gripes.

    Kurt kicks things off by reminding Chris of a little humble pie served a few weeks ago before sharing some of the pet peeves his own family (including his brother Drew) and his boss have about him — like taking client calls at ridiculous hours or constantly changing plans in pursuit of improvement.

    Chris shares a recent real estate frustration: dealing with a building report that revealed costly water issues in a property. After Chris’ client withdrew from negotiations, the agent and vendor surprisingly declined to receive the building report — potentially avoiding any obligation to disclose known defects to future buyers.

    From family quirks to industry frustrations, this episode is full of relatable moments for anyone who works in, invests in, or just watches the Sydney property market.

    Stay tuned to the end for a few more pot shots!
