Neale Whitaker and Andrew Winter revealed that Australians are more ‘obsessed with real estate’ than any other country in the world.
The Love It Or List It hosts, who are originally from the UK, said the fascination with real estate Down Under is like nothing they ever experienced back home.
Speaking with The Binge Guide, which will be released alongside Stellar Magazine on Sunday, they said property was ‘not dinner-table conversation’ in the UK.
‘I think we’re obsessed with real estate, in a good way, in this country,’ Neale, 61, told the publication.
He added: ‘Until I arrived in Australia, I had never experienced the level of interest in real estate that I’ve experienced in this country.’

Neale went on to say that kind of passion and interest in real estate is very ‘unique’ to Australians.
Meanwhile, fellow ‘Pom’ and television presenter Andrew attributed the property fascination with something else entirely.
‘It’s the passion Aussies have for property, but it’s also because we all have a little bit of voyeurism,’ he said.

Andrew added that it was an innate curiosity to ‘look into other people’s lives’ which feeds the ‘obsession’ with real estate.
Neale and Andrew have been battling it out on Lifestyle’s Love It Or List It since 2017, but the property rivals wouldn’t have it any other way.
Neale, who is also a judge on Channel Nine’s renovation show The Block, once told Confidential there is no one he’d rather work alongside than Andrew.

‘Andrew and I had met a few times, but I had never worked with him before,’ Neale told the publication in 2017.
He claimed it’s been fantastic working with such a talented property manager, and said their chemistry together is what makes the show flow so perfectly.
‘We clicked from day one,’ Neale said.
‘We are both Brits and we have both got the same sense of humour.’
