Simon Pressley - Head of Property Market Research, Propertyology

As founder and managing director of Propertyology Simon spends each day analysing
the fundamentals of the property markets of every capital city and every regional
location throughout Australia. Having studied Australian real estate history to the
nth degree, Simon has an intimate understanding of the complexities of property
markets, the machinations of the numerous inputs, and the knock-on effect that
human actions have on property markets. Prior to becoming a full-time property
market analyst, Simon gained invaluable experience as a buyer’s agent.

Simon will provide an overview of his most recent research into Australia’s housing
undersupply, with a focus on two areas – the lack of national rental stock to
accommodate the 35% of Australians who choose to rent and the mobility issues
surrounding the volume of reduced stock that’s gridlocking the system.
