Evergrande Still Haunts The House

Chinese property firms listed in Hong Kong face a March 31 deadline to file annual results, their first audited financial statements since the industry’s liquidity crisis spread. Transparency and governance concerns have cropped up alongside worries about developers’ ability to repay debt following a record number of defaults last year.

Evergrande and its two Hong Kong-listed units this week joined a handful of Chinese developers warning they will probably miss deadlines for reporting audited 2021 results. Separately, its property-services unit said it was looking into how $2.1 billion of its deposits were used as security for pledge guarantees and seized by banks.

Australia’s Housing Affordability Long Con…

The final report of the Housing Supply Inquiry is out, and as expected it misses the main points…

https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/House/Tax_and_Revenue/Housingaffordability

We discuss the recommendations, and add our own commentary.

For a more thorough approach to housing affordability, wee my post on Steve Keen’s (TNL) policy, which makes so much more sense.

RANT: Well, Do You Really Want To Get That Equity Out?

More melding from the Government relating to housing, which is not aimed at tackling the real issue, but simply trying to make a positive headline. That triggered a rant from me on the stupidity of the current situation.

The Housing Affordability Elephant In The Room!

If you want the real truth about housing affordability, read the latest shocking data from the Demographia report, just released.

http://www.demographia.com/

Housing affordability in 2021 is considerably worse than before, with five times as many markets at 10.0 median multiples or higher than just a decade ago. The least affordable market is Hong Kong, with a median multiple of 23.2, followed by Sydney at 15.3, Vancouver at 13.3, San Jose at 12.6 and Melbourne at 12.1. Another 46 markets are rated severely unaffordable, with median multiples (price-to-income ratios) of 5.1 or higher. Just three decades ago, nearly all of the 92 major markets covered had median multiples near 3.0 or below. The pandemic has created a “demand shock” as households move to houses with more space (inside and in yards or gardens). This has been evident in markets with overly restrictive land use regulation (especially urban containment), and worsened by the inability of home builders in well functioning markets meet the unprecedented increase in demand. The most affordable market is Pittsburgh, with a median multiple of 2.7, followed by Oklahoma City and Rochester at 3.3, with Edmonton and St. Louis at 3.6.
