    "Just rent when the math doesn't add up". If you said this in 2010 you would be 100% correct but still all your mates would be millionaires and you'd be getting gouged up the arse by a landlord. Australia is one of the worst oligarchies in the world but unfortunately my countrymen are very naïve and don't understand this yet.
    Oh, and by the way THERE ARE NO RENTALS.

      number of house markets where buying is cheaper than renting plummeted to just 2.5% - or 52 out of 2113 suburbs - nationwide as of March. For unit buyers, in only 10.8% - or 112 suburbs - was it cheaper to buy than rent. that's from Corelogic based on median priced house/unit

      You cant outrun a bad diet.
      Maybe when you are young, you can for a little while, but you cant do it forever.
      Tdlr : You cant pass your costs on to consumers forever. If you manufacture too much scarcity of a product, you might eventually have too much stock on the shelves and not enough cash flow to cover your expenses, the small will go out of business first, while the top few survive , the market will become non competitive, as an essential service /human right will cause civil unrest, hurt productivity , hurt the economy and the government will eventually be forced to adapt fiscal policy, impose price regulation to correct it. .

      @@allbirdsarecats This is where you're wrong. I used to think the same and kept waiting for the market to slow down based on the fundamentals you mentioned. After about 15 years, I realised that supply and demand, stagnant wages and other factors were never going to affect realestate prices in Australia (and globally).
      Realestate is just another mechanism of control. The control of movement, the control of employment and most of all, the control of the future of the lower and middle class. I'm calling it now, in less than 30 years, realestate will be predominately be owned by large corporations and governments. Corporations will build their office and factories in areas where they own houses and run shuttle buses back and forth. Working along side the Corporations, the Government will begin to roll out UBI's for aging and long term working contracts for the young. These contracts will factor in housing and therefore force those without homes to either go homeless or agree to long term employment.
      I know it sounds a bit tin foil hat but that's the only conclusion I can formulate based on the direction we're going in.

      Consider reallocating from real estate to other reliable investments like stock, crypto or precious metals .

    Aussies main sport, religion, love affair, and obsession is real estate.
    Real estate prices are often the topic of conversation in pubs, workplaces, parties and the media. Government policies, and the tax code supports high real estate prices and governments have lost elections on the strength of advocating a more equitable system. Rent is sky high and yet it is a Herculean task to be able to rent an apartment in Sydney at least, due to the fierce competition.
    Economists have been predicting housing price collapses for the past 30 years... at their peril. There are relatively small price fluctuations but the trend is strongly up without much price volatility. If house prices fell substantially I suspect that there would be mass suicides and riots in the streets. It's a mess, is totally unfair and needs fixing, but fixing the situation is political certain death, so no one is game. Shorting the Australian major cities property market is something only a fool would undertake...

    One thing the older generations should be worried about is if younger skilled people just get up and leave.
    I had a friend who is a mechanical engineer who was having trouble saving up for a house deposit with his wife. their rent then went up significantly and they thought F this and they both moved to Thailand and got remote jobs. Although they are on less money than they were before they have a much better lifestyle and save up more than they did in Sydney.
    I don't think this has started happening on a large scale in Australia yet, but similar things are happening in Spain and Italy. Older people get benefits and other goodies, taxes go up (and/or housing in Australia's case) and eventually young people with good educations start to leave , then taxes need to go higher to pay for the benefits, which pushes more young people to leave and so on.

    The governing factors here are:
    1. Debt to average income when buying a house in Sydney to live in, is at enslavement levels.
    2. Yeid on property after accounting for costs maitennence and real not nominal inflation is negative - You are actually going backwards = Enslavement
    3. The reserve through the goverment is printing money out of thin air / issuing cash insentives for the "benifit" of the marginalised population. This is in the form of grants subsidies and many other scheams all of which flow into assets like property and equites that then perpetuate price rises in those assets and G and S as a whole( cause if Inflation).
    4. Those who have access to capital to borrow against their assets to buy more assests are incentivised to do so using mechanisums like negative gearing thus perpetuating capital price growth in assest like housing stock making their whole on class richer through the Cantillion Effect.
    Conclusion: Rampent money printing is making the 5% richer and the 95% pooer

      It would be remarkable if the largest asset owned by most Australian's takes a hit across the board. Even if it did wouldn't be so big that those near retirement age can't absorb it or those younger can't hold until things rebound.

    Yep, here in Canberra, they have a massive amount of land, ready to develop, it's just farm land right now, the farmers don't have a new lease as we have 99 year crown leases and they are in limbo.
    The government is more interested in building apartments, as they don't have to pay for new infrastructure, and they turn a small area into lots of stamp duty.
    So they leave vast tracks of land not developed.
    It's disgusting, and I can't wait for the coming market correction as it will hurt good people but it will hurt the bad people too.

    He's right, Australia's day will come. All it takes is the global price of our main exports to drop and we'll be spattered against the wall. The $AUD is already down 40% against the $US since the early 2010s.

      The drop in the Australian dollar is only a good thing for Australia's jain exports. It makes them more competitive and cheaper for other countries to buy.
      The Australian dollar is 2010 was high against the USD because the US was hit very much harder by the global financial crisis. U.S interest rates dropped to zero, werevas tge Australian economy was much stronger and interest rates in Australia stayed higher than the U.S. Which had the affect of increasing the value of the Australian dollar in relation to the U.S dollar

    • @Leo-vk6qm
      @Leo-vk6qm Před měsícem

      Yes but you're talking about a different type of scenario, if the international price of our exports drop first then the $AUD drops, that'll cause inflation and stagflation. That's our major risk. It's different to the $AUD dropping due to say aussies taking long overseas holidays or importing more and hence pushing the $AUD lower.

    The idea of the market rationalising is silly. The market is rational, the economic policies underpinning the market aren’t but governments are too scared to attack the problem at the source.
    Until then we have more people than houses (migration being concentrated into a few small areas, and the babyboomers’ kids hitting their 30s in a wave) and a tax policy that forces competition for existing properties (so no new supply) between one class of buyer who can write off the cost of owning property against their day job’s income and one class of buyer who gets no such benefit.

      ​@@jogb9515 Wrong. 4% is the figure for temporary agricultural activity, it is land with the necessary infrastructure and approved by the state for crop production. Arable land statistics only show land that is being actively used for cultivating temporary crops, it says nothing about permanent crops/trees that don't need to be replanted every season nor does it indicate all the undeveloped potential arable land available throughout the country.
      The estimated potential arable land in Australia in 2021 sits at around 47% and it could be higher if active crop development was allowed to be implemented in these areas. Australia is much more hospitable than you think.
