[Podcast] Are we inching closer to a property crash?

There have been some interesting property headlines recently, haven’t there?

Things like:

• Australia’s house prices are seeing the fastest quarterly decline on record.
• An Australian property market crash is coming.
• The chances of a crash in house prices just jumped.
• A Freedom of Information report revealed internal research by the RBA found property prices could fall by as much as 20%.

Is a property crash really likely?

That’s what I was recently asked by Nathan Veccio, Mortgage Coach and Brisbane-based Mortgage Broker at Hunter Galloway, in an interview for his YouTube Channel.

And considering that thousands of people watched the interview and over 90 commented on this interview, I asked Nathan permission to replay the audio version for you as a listener of my podcast.

I think you’ll find the questions Nathan asked me insightful, and even though you may have already heard some of my views on what’s ahead for our property markets, considering all the changes in the few weeks since we recorded this interview, I think my comments are even more relevant.

Rather than being overly worried about inflation, rising interest rates, and all economic woes, please take the time to listen to my thoughts, and I hope at the end of today’s show, you’ll have a bit more clarity of watch ahead.

Highlights of my chat with Nathan Veccio:

• What’s actually happening with the property market?
  • There’s not actually one property market in Australia
  • The property market has never dropped as much as most negative commenters are predicting
  • Consumer confidence is what’s currently missing
• Which segments of the property market are hurting the most
• Whether the market will bounce back over the next 12-24 months
• Why there may be a more fragmented property market moving forward
• What to look for in terms of government schemes going forward
• How people are going to afford increased rents
• What’s happening in the rental markets
  • Over the last decade, rents went up 11% while inflation went up 25%
• Where the interest rates are going to go next
• Why there’s a window of opportunity for those with long-term views right now
  • The fundamentals of our economy won’t change
  • We can buy better now than we could six months ago and probably better than we will in 6-12 months
• Good investments over the next five years
• The value of a long-term perspective
