The bullish Aussie property thesis now rests heavily on demand continuing to outstrip supply at an aggregate level or in a phrase "high migration"
This is the very public view of multiple prominent property experts.
Are we going to continue to pretend migration isn't a factor?
@AvidCommentator Migration's a factor โ Canada proves it, just not the way the bulls hope. Even record inflows only stalled the real-price fall at ~โ21%. Halve the inflows and you get this: โ29% and still falling. Inflation has a role to play here too...
This charts the recent falls in Sydney housing prices from their peak vs the U.S housing crash and Kiwi house price correction.
It's currently falling faster than the U.S housing crash, but slower than the Kiwi's.
@MrConvexity@AvidCommentator A real reality check on this. Sydney's ~5% fall is nominal. Strip out inflation and stack it against actual housing crashes:
๐บ๐ธ US GFC: โ39% peak to trough
๐จ๐ฆ Canada: โ29% and still falling
๐ณ๐ฟ NZ: โ28% and still falling
Could be a long way down from here.
@TheKouk In the ABS 2023โ24 release, private Education and training value add was $43.9 bn, while Mining was $312.2 bn and Agriculture, forestry and fishing $33.1 bn.
Do you mean spending? Not really GDP comparable...
@bowtiedstocks 7-figure non-deductible debt mate, that's a house. Deductibility is an investor thing, not a risk gauge. Risk is whether you can service it, not how big the number looks. Crashes don't teach respect for risk, they torch everyone.
@bowtiedstocks@great_martis Measured moves don't price mortgages. 98% of Aussie loans are variable, set off the cash rate, not the 30Y. And there's no glut coming: we're ~250k dwellings short with a broken build pipeline. Prices are falling, but this is a cyclical correction off record highs.
@DKThomp How about using an actual watch-list of leading indicators (the YoY margin-debt rollover, financing spreads, the leveraged-ETF net-flow sign) rather than a point forecast?
@scout_aussie Okon struggled big time against double press from US.
Weak tactics from Popa, second half showed how it could be done.
Brutal choices with Velupilaly and Leckie.
Wee Man Italiano is not an international RWB.
Brave in the sunshine though, let's hope for positive against Paraguay.
@KarmSumal@KenSimCity Have to solve the homeless problem, I was genuinely shocked by the East Side. It's a waste of human potential and a scourge on this beautiful city.
