11.01.2022 Interesting advice... "Banks not passing on RBA rate cut? Tell customers to switch", says governor.

11.01.2022 Interest rates are currently at record lows and unlikely to rise anytime soon. And according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the total value of new loan commitments for housing hit a record high in December. Another indicator is that auction volumes in capital cities rose by 44.1 per cent in the December quarter. The boom has been predicted to last into 2021 and beyond, with even the RBA estimating in internal research that house prices could rise by 30 per cent.... https://stockhead.com.au//australias-facing-its-biggest-p/

09.01.2022 RBA keeps interest rates on hold at record-low 0.1 per cent The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) cut rates to their rock-bottom levels on Melbourne Cup day last month, saying they'll likely keep the cash rate unchanged for up to three years.

09.01.2022 Some further property market info in short: - While smaller cities have generally seen an increase in rental values over the year, Hobart rents have fallen across both houses and units. This may be a relief to some tenants, where rents across Hobart had grown 34.3% in the 5 years prior to the onset of COVID-19. - Declines in Hobart rents may partially have come from a lack of demand among workers in tourism and hospitality where, as with inner-city Sydney and Melbourne, Hobar...t had a relatively high concentration of workers. Another narrative around the decline in rents in Hobart has been the conversion of Airbnb to the long term rental market. - Looking forward, COVID-19 will likely have a lasting impact in terms of varied dynamics between cities and property types. For weaker rental markets such as Sydney, Melbourne and Hobart, rents are likely to remain weak until international travel resumes. Meanwhile, other capital cities, especially those with rapidly rising rents like Perth and Darwin, could see the gradual re-entry of property investors, which would lift rental supply and support an easing in rental value growth over time.

09.01.2022 The housing market was going to drop 30pc during the pandemic but instead many areas are booming. Instead, many people took advantage of "extraordinarily" low interest rates and stimulus packages and entered the market. "2021 is going to be 'a tenant's market' for the CBD locations and 'a landlord's market' for regional Australia but beyond that, things would likely return to the pre-pandemic era."...

02.01.2022 It is all looking very promising in the housing market.... "House prices to rise up to $160k in two years: CBA" House prices will rise 9 per cent in 2021 and 7 per cent in 2022, Commonwealth Bank’s head of Australian economics Gareth Aird said in a note to clients this week.... The negative impact that COVID-19 had on Australian property prices turned out to be much more muted than almost any forecaster expected, us included, Aird wrote. We were earlier than most, however, to recognise this and revised our call in September 2020 to look for a smaller peak-to-trough fall and a decent lift in prices over 2021. In Sydney and Melbourne, home values will grow by at least 12 per cent in the next two years. That would mean Australia’s median price would hit around $1.2 million, and Melbourne’s would jump to $920,000, an increase of $110,000 in Melbourne and $160,000 in Sydney.
