Another outing with Journalist Tarric Brooker, as we pick over the latest data, with a focus on what is happening in the real economy. We also discuss the real race many are running in terms of no real income growth, and the political and economic implications of this ahead.

Welcome To The Alternative Olympics: With Tarric Brooker
In our latest show we pull apart some of the recent property spruiking, look at the latest numbers and deep dive into the gap between the “speak” from policy makers and the “reality” of what they do. As a result we underscore the need to go local, and not be misled by high-level waffle!

A big show this week, as Edwin and I consider how international events impact local markets, distressed sales especially from investors rise, and more builders collapse as markets might be taking a breather.

Back in 2021 the Census revealed a shocking “one million homes were unoccupied”.
But now we have a new survey from economic research organisation Prosper Australia, looking at empty homes in Melbourne from 2019 to 2023. The report SPECULATIVE VACANCIES 11 makes the point that while around 30,000 people in Victoria have no home, it is hard to quantify the number of homes that have no people. This they attempt to do.
To access vacancy, Prosper measures vacancy rates across metropolitan Melbourne using data from Melbourne’s three water retailers – Yarra Valley Water, South East Water and Greater Western Water.
They found that of the 1.9 million dwellings with active water connections in the study area, in total 97,861 dwellings sat empty or under-used over the entire year: 5.2% of all dwellings in metropolitan Melbourne, or one in 20 homes. These vacant dwellings represent a huge pool of valuable resources not being used productively. At the average household size they could accommodate over 250,000 people.
If this were replicated across Australia, it could be there are sufficient spare homes to meet current need! This should be a top political issue, but one no-one wants to touch!

The ABS released their latest data on Household Wealth in the March 2024 quarter today. They say in aggregate terms, household wealth was up 2.7% in the March quarter, or $431 billion dollars.
The value of assets is skyrocketing at the moment, but incomes are hardly growing. So if you’re lucky enough to own any assets (like a residential property, or superannuation savings), your wealth is likely increasing. But if you don’t own any assets, you’re missing out.
So, the story continues, with asset prices continuing to swell, in response to policy from Central Banks and Governments, but there are two questions to consider, first will the asset growth continue, or are we reaching levels where the higher for longer interest rates will start hitting home and second, what of the growing number of households with zero assets, and a cash flow deficit.
While superficially the ABS numbers might sound promising, actually they tell a sad tale, of asset inflation, but one which few want to recognise. At least for now.
