In 1980 you could buy a Sydney House for 100 gold ounces. by 2004 it cost you 1,100 ounces. Today it costs you 417 ounces. Sydney house prices have been "crashing" since 2004. When a gold bar outpaces your capital gains, on a property that has repairs and renovations. You aren't winning, you are trying to swim upstream and think you are getting somewhere. We are in a currency devaluation situation, House prices can go up as much as you like, when priced in Hamburgers or Gold ounces it's going backwards at an alarming rate, if you sell your house in 5 years and it buys half as many hamburgers did you really make any money. Good luck with real estate as a retirement strategy, You'd be comfortable for half as much time even though the price was higher on the ticket.

No reference to other debt people have. No reference to the other factors such as life happens (divorce, upsize, down size room mates, consolidation of house holds) no reference to mortgage stress. No mention to world macro factors that can impact Australia. Brief mention of unemployment but not future contributing factors such as high immigration in a slowing economy. No mention as to the financial health of the renter. Qualified buyers are reducing by the day. All done off the now and not off the future. There is a lot your data doesn't show. Appreciate what you look at and how it is derived. But it is flawed by the bigger picture that is not being captured.

House prices are increasing because no one is moving and low supply. When the supply ticks up for the reasons articulated. How many people are going to be qualified to purchase those houses in comparison to prior years? This will put downward pressure on prices. Let's wait and see

Ah yes, the greater fool theory. Let's wait and see what happens when it ticks up. People have very short memories from 2020 when unemployment went through the roof, renters were getting discounts and people were panicking buying toilet paper.

Take a reasonably conservative loan for Sydney of $750,000 at the old rate of 2.13% the yearly repayment = $33,853.88. Using current rates of 6.66% the yearly repayment is now $57,836.42 that's an increase of 70%. This above doesn't include increases in food, electricity, Council rates, School fees Etc Etc. For a lot of people who brought prior to 2008 this shouldn't be a problem as they brought when interest rates were around 6-7%. but for many who have purchased in the last 5 years under lower rates e.g. >4% ( which has the effect of increasing housing cost due to increased powering power).

No talk of the fact that both #1 and #2 economies in the world (US & China) are likely going to have severe recessions in the next 12-18months. In this scenario such a large global shock, all this data goes out the window. Unemployment skyrockets, incomes evaporate, and most mortgages become unserviceable. What comes next? A massive crash & even higher interest rates which will be needed to defend the Aussie dollar at a time where central banks will have no choice but to defend their currencies from such a shock.

I’ve been waiting for this impending recession for years. All the experts were wrong with their predictions and if the CoVid lockdowns and o/s travel restrictions couldn’t bring it on what will?. Experts talked about a mortgage cliff which hasn’t caused a blip on house prices or listings. Honestly, the advent of AI boosted business profits and productivity increased together with massive increases in population growth will probably again save and further boost the Ozzie housing Bubble !

I’d question this guys “data” from where I sit I see the economy massively slowing down & people with mortgages really having a tough time! When you add the lack of wage growth, the huge increase in cost of living & mostly doubling of people’s mortgage repayments no amount of data can change the fact that up to 2/3rds of the population are struggling (mortgage holders & renters). The slow down has already begun, people are really starting to reign in spending, especially families. When EVERY financial aspect in your life is increasing you don’t need a “data” firm to tell you that the economy is about to hit the wall! Talk to real people at the coal face of society, we are being fucked over by the government & corporations who claim inflation on rising goods & services while making record profits! Add to this our wonderful banking system that continues to rape mortgage holders to create record profits. A note to you Mark, our economic & political system is fucked, it only favours the few, & they already have the most!

I’ve heard economists also say that this July is the highest listings numbers of any July in the last 10 years. I’ve been to about 7 inspections where the owners are selling for less than what they paid for 2 years ago.

In statistics we're taught that all statistical models have limits and beyond that it's pure speculation. I've found most buyers agents seem to take the view property always goes up and they hand pick data to support that. He seemed very certain property values won't decline. This cycle still yet to play out, 6 months with no interest rate changes and we'll see where it settles.

Arjun, You say that the mortgage cliff is "a few 100k at most" according to the data from matin north its 800k +. Also you fail to realise that total supply for Australian property nationally has sat at around 140k for awhile now meaning that the mortgage cliff has potentially big enough numbers to drastically add more supply that would cause prices to decline.

The rates have only increased and normalised to their 30 year long term averages. This has now stabilised the economy just like the RBA wanted. Repossessions are very low so we all are now in a good place. Hopefully rates stay like this for good now so our kids don't have to put up with the strangling inflation we had which has affected all our finances when rates were low ever again.
