Why Housing Affordability Is A Structural Issue

We discuss my submission to the current Housing Affordability inquiry which the Federal Government is running at the moment.

We have been tracking the ranks of inquiries into the housing market and housing affordability over this time-frame and note the considerable duplication of effort from the many inquiries which have been undertaken, but without real change.

The issue is clouded by self-interest, misdirection, and short-term political agendas. As a recent report put it “The scale of the housing market in the Australian economy and the diffuse, often disconnected, spread of policy powers that address different aspects of this system make the Parable of the Blind Men and the Elephant a perfect metaphor for our current predicament”

Access to housing should be regarded as a fundamental human right, not a commodity. Yet the reverse is the case.

The housing affordability issue is a complex and politically charged one, with a convenient separation of accountabilities between States (mainly supply-side issues such as land release, planning and zoning and building standards) and Federal where initiatives such as Homebuilder, and additional first-time buyer incentives have featured alongside the tax settings. There is in fact little joined-up thinking.

It’s Fine Folks – Honest: The DFA Daily 22 Sept 2021

The latest edition of our finance and property news digest with a distinctively Australian flavour.

In today’s show we look at the latest from the markets, and consider in particular the torrent of assurances streaming from some of the biggest money managers in the world as they assume their investors, we are not facing a Lehman style collapse triggered by Evergrande. Or are they just talking their book? Meantime, a vaguely worded filing may suggest some bond holders have been placated.

Chinese shares fell less than feared Wednesday after a two-day holiday — bolstering global investor sentiment — amid plans for an interest payment by China Evergrande Group and signs of support from the country’s central bank.

Evergrande – Fragile Handle With Care – Market Update 18th Sep 2021

The latest edition of our finance and property news digest with a distinctively Australian flavour.

In today’s show we look at the latest market data, and focus in on the big questions around China Evergrande Group, as opinion is divided between those who think this could be a replay of Lehman Bros leading to a broader financial crisis, and those who think the CCP will ultimately save the day. It seems the international markets are not so worried, for now. But I would remind you September and October are witching months for financial crashes, and there is plenty of reasons to think this might be true in 2021. And meantime the FED has its own problems as it came to light that two Federal Reserve bank presidents had engaged in controversial stock trades. And then there is the failing iron ore price…
