Its Edwin’s Monday Evening Property Rant!

Another dose of reality from our property insider Edwin Almeida. What political games are being played at the moment, and how is this influencing markets, which according to some are taking off again. Or does it depend on where you look and who is buying. How big is the housing crises now? Will any of the “solutions” being discussed really assist?

Another week shoots past, so Edwin is back for another property update. The chaos continues with talk of “pre-war”, home price rises, and more Government support for property. What could possibly go wrong?

Many Households Are In Trouble – Mate!

We walk through the latest from our surveys and modelling ahead of our live show which will be on 13th February 2024 at 8pm Sydney where we will look at specific post codes in more detail.

Household financial stress continues to bite, and is spreading into many different types of communities.

Ahead, we do not expect cash flow to improve for many, as mortgage rates will not be falling very soon, the costs of living continue to rise and income growth in real terms is muted, at best.

If you want data on a specific post code, put it in the comments and I will either cover it Tuesday week, or via a separate show.

If you want to get the full data set, this is available via Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/DigitalFinanceAnalytics

The Premiers Are Revolting – And In Rebellion!

An important discussion with Robbie Barwick from the Australian Citizens Party, about democracy, the role of the Reserve Bank, and use of cash, as some are now calling for a significant change in the balance of power.

Who will win? Will un-elected technocrats dictate the future direction of the country, or will electable politicians step up and weald their accountable power?

This is a battle for the future.

Is Australia’s Migration Rate Slowing?

The Australian’s Judith Sloan recently debunked KPMG chief economist Brendan Rynne’s spurious claim that a “short-sighted”, “kneejerk” cut to immigration would damage productivity and the economy.

So what are the latest figures telling us?

In the Financial Year 2022-23 we saw a record high net overseas migration of 518,000, while the federal government’s latest forecast is for a fall to around 375,000 which by the way would still be the second-highest annual read on record.

Such high volumes are driven in part by the student influx post pandemic.

Ahead, CBA expects a slowdown rate of population growth. “Using net overseas arrivals data for certain visa types till December 2023 suggest net overseas migration for 2023 was ~370k, roughly in line with government estimates for FY24″…

Now while the total number might be down, because the student element is the one moderating and most sensitive to rental demand, it might just help to cool rental growth a little – it is still way too high… many of those coming into the country still are cashed up and ready to buy property. So net, net given the limited supply of new property, due to falling building approvals, this will probably not help to ease undersupply.
