This week on The Sydney Property Muppets, things get candid… and a little bit cheeky. Off-camera banter about Kurt’s dating life unexpectedly sparks a serious conversation—Chris opens up about a major buyer frustration: people treating realestate.com.au and Domain like dating apps. They swipe, they show up, they get disappointed… all because they haven’t properly read the listing or understood the property.

Kurt then jumps in with his own real estate pet peeve—but we won’t spoil it. Let’s just say Chris reckons it’s the real estate version of a Facebook Marketplace nightmare.

But it’s Chris’s gripe that really lights the fuse: agents hiding price guides for the first two weeks. And for the first time in Sydney Property Muppets history, after a year and a half of banter, Kurt and Chris finally disagree on a topic. Want to know what caused the clash? You’ll have to tune in to find out.

🎙️ Listen now—this episode is equal parts fun and fire!

Kurt kicks off this week’s episode with a flashback to a childhood traffic light dilemma… red car or green car? It’s a fitting intro as the team dives into a digital showdown: Domain vs Realestate.com.au.

From a real estate agent’s perspective, Kurt reveals what really goes on behind the scenes of both platforms—how they’re used, what makes them different, and what sellers need to know when listing their property.

Chris shares the buyer’s agent view: what types of properties consistently show up on REA, what price points suit Domain, and how these platforms impact buyers’ choices.

Plus, in true Muppet fashion, Kurt holds nothing back as he voices his gripe with one of the sites—don’t miss it.

A unique episode, packed with insights and strong opinions. Tune in to the Sydney Property Muppets now.

Bodgy intros, bold predictions, and a whole lotta banter.

Kurt and Chris kick things off as chaotically as ever before diving into a post-election market update. Politicians love catchy slogans about making housing more affordable—but Kurt asks the big question: Can house prices actually come down?*

Chris breaks down the three key forces that want the market to keep surging, and the boys unpack what’s really driving property prices sky-high (and why that’s unlikely to change anytime soon).

Plus, in a shocking twist, Chris calls Kurt smart—seriously. Kurt then explains some new state government rules aimed at boosting housing supply… but the councils? Not so keen.
