Host Damian Collins sits down with Brendon Ptolomey, Managing Director at Herron Todd White (WA/NT), to unpack property data in a way that’s practical, grounded and genuinely useful when making buying and investment decisions.

With more than 30 years’ experience in property valuation and market analysis, Brendan explains why different data providers report different numbers, what sits behind the statistics, and how buyers and investors should interpret the data without being misled by headlines.
