Show Notes
How more Australians can enter into the property market - how they can have dignified, secure housing that delivers good capital growth - is the multi-million dollar question.
And it's one that Evan Thornley might have an answer to.
In this episode, the tech pioneer, founder of LongView and co-founder of GoodStart, argues that while the system is fundamentally broken, there is a data-driven path to home ownership that is easier to access and better long term than the traditional means of being indebted to a bank.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
-
Why the family home remains the "single best investment in the history of the world"
-
How analyzing 50 years of data across 11 million properties helps identify the specific types of homes that consistently outperform the market
-
The potential held by shared equity and housing funds
-
Evan's personal journey from a single-parent family to Silicon Valley success, why he’s now dedicated to fixing the housing ladder for the next generation and his own biggest lessons
