  • On this week’s episode of Property Insights with Mark Bouris, leading auctioneer Tom Panos returns to discuss the human impact of consecutive rate rises in the property market and where we might be headed for the rest of the year.
    “The (Reserve Bank’s) strategy is ‘let’s keep putting rates up’. You’re impacting people that are going to make mortgage repayments. What you’re not impacting is the wealthiest group of people.”

      Mass immigration & mass selling of our properties to foreign investors put a huge strain on the housing market and made it much less affordable, in other words the government is the one who killed the housing market with their idiotic policies

    • @ichrisone
      @ichrisone Před rokem +8

      You had to pay so much in the first place because interest rates were too low and credit was too cheap. High interest rates drop asset prices. Its built into the mathematical discounted cash flow model banks use to value assets. Housing will be more affordable in relative terms for the next generation of buyers because of these rate rises.

      @@ichrisone I agree with everything you said including the end but only in the long term ( they will lift rates until a market correction occurs imo) Our leaders did everything they could to keep the housing bubble growing. Through cheap money to policy regarding negative gearing to tax grants etc etc and lets not forget foriegn investment, immigration and tax rules to punish savers. I almost own my house with very little debt and on paper I am wealthy but only if I sold everything, The thing is the house I own is my only house and the family home so selling it would mean replace it with something equally expensive so its all relative to me what its worth. For my children and future generations it would be much better if they could buy house with a normal wage again like my parents generation did. It would also be much better for the country. But do any of our leaders think that far ahead or even care?

    No, sorry the RBA is just doing its job which is to stop inflation breaking the economy. Given the choice between spiralling inflation and a recession, a central bank will correctly choose a recession everytime.
    The problem is Aussies over the last couple of decades have been duped into believing an asset price boom fuelled by debt would make us all rich and never end. A situation which has NEVER occurred in the history of macroeconomics. It's not the interest rate, it's the fact that we have too much debt and as a result a low interest rate by historical standards could now bring the economy down.

    NZ raised rates to 5.50%. Things seem okay. They will get on top of inflation. It takes time 12-18 months for the effects to be seen. Australia is busy overhauling RBA (seems like some powerful lobbies behind this). it is funny how these two gentlemen keep saying people this and people that. They just speak of property investors who just want the home prices to go north. Everything is in their favor yet they are worried. Those not in that bracket are getting hit by inflation, landlords and lack of wage growth. What if the inflation does not come down? Australia needs to raise rates to >5% and cut later on if required. Housing should not be an investment vehicle. Everyone should have access to affordable housing.

    The RBA will only stop raising rates until the U.S does. Look at nearly every central bank on the planet and they're raising rates linear to the U.S. If the RBA drop rates now, our dollar will tank even further causing more inflation from higher import costs. Regardless if they keep raising rates or drop rates, its still a loose, loose situation but that's the result of dropping rates ridiculously and unnecessarily low on top of insane levels of quantitative easing during covid. A lot of artificial money floating around that needs to be drained... unfortunately it is much easier to drain money from the poor than it is the rich as poor people are far less financially flexible.

    The one thing no-one ever talks about are the people who HAVE the money. Tom briefly eluded to the tricky decision they have to make like whether to travel business or economy. The age group from 65 onwards who tend to sit on their wealth rather than use it. If the government isn't going to help, then it puts the onus on these people who have paid off mortgages plus redundancies, inheritances to help. The unfortunate thing is, even this group (with $$) has been trained not to trust the government so they just stopped helping others and are keeping their money tight for their retirement. There is alot of mistrust out there. It is becoming a case of everyone for themselves. Mark mentioned it too... Aussies will let go of everything else except the house. Thats because generally the house is in the area, school they want.... it took years to plan and execute so it's not an easy decision to abort all that. The other area besides lower class that is affected are the sporting organisations, small businesses, holiday industries as no-one will have spare change. Basically that will all get levelled to the ground. Talking about consumer spending, ask Kerry Packer his mantra was 'the more you make, the less you risk'. If consumers are doing ok financially, they are less inclined to make dumb, panicky decisions.

      In the theoretical context, neoliberalism is an economic thought that emerged towards the end of the 19th century.
      neoliberalism, embraces marginalism as one of its theoretical components, opposes the Marxian theory of labor value and places the emphasis on the free choice of the consumer and on the determination of value through the market mechanism.
      Marginalism holds that the value of a commodity is determined by its price, which in turn is influenced by the free choice of the consumer.
      Marginalism considers the marginal consumer (final consumer) as the main determinant of the value of a commodity.
      The marginal consumer is the one who makes consumption decisions based on marginal utility, i.e. the added value obtained from the purchase of the last unit of a good or service. According to marginalism, the price of a commodity reflects the will of marginal consumers and the interaction between supply and demand in the market.
      In contrast to Marx's labor theory of value, which claims that the value of a commodity is determined by the labor employed in its production, marginalism claims that the value of a commodity is determined by the dynamics of supply and demand on the market and by individual consumer preferences.
      the value of a commodity does not depend on the labor incorporated, as argued by Marx, but on the choice of the final consumer.
      So nobody cares how a commodity is produced, it only matters how it is sold. This is the world we live in.

Got really p'd off when John McGrath spoke on Switzer about property values down 30% on the Gold Coast during this period. Actually happened, units in Broadbeach went from $800K to $450K.

    I didn't see any of these videos being made when interest rates were below 3% for over a decade, which created (this) the largest housing bubble in Australian history.

    Just a bit of inside information: Joe Biden came to Australia unannounced in 2016 with the whole cavalry and armoured presidential limousine.that’s enough to ask questions. However, working in management for teaching international students in 2019, the government began the reject normal students, and only started to accept students with access to $100K plus (usually a $20K requirement). This resulted in inexplicable staff layoffs 10 months before the COVID-19 (aka SARS 2002 bird flu) ‘pandemic’ hit again. Put that bit of detail together yourself; obviously the government didn’t want international students with limited resources to come here during the pandemic as they would have struggled to find work during lockdowns and become potentially homeless. However, the financial requirements have since dropped for international students again. It’s obvious to me (2x Master Degrees) that these muppets think we don’t notice anything. I’m my interpretation, we are witnessing gang warfare. As Trump said: “ They are not coming for me, they are coming for you!” but they also came for him 😢

    Being a therapist I have many clients both on fixed income and business people that are really struggling both with interest rate increases and cost of living. The level of anxiety and depression is increasing rapidly in our society.
    As an example, I had a woman that has a beauty business that came to see me struggling with a lot of anxiety. What is causing the anxiety is the amount of people that have booked for treatments and up to 40% don’t show up for the bookings and when she asked them the reason they’re not able to come. It’s always financial they say, I just don’t have the money we are struggling.
    I know people will say it’s not a priority to go get beauty treatments, but it’s still a business and it has been around for 15 years and a family lives out of that Business. But this trend is being seen across the board, whether it’s hospitality, mechanical, retail even supermarkets, I can’t see that there would be many business that would not be affected dramatically, because business people across the board are noticing that there customers are spending less and some people are not able to afford some of the most basic needs like food.
    I just don’t think the RBA has really not acknowledged or looked for the evidence that people are really struggling and what the true Impact of the rate rises and cost of living are causing to every day Australians.

  • @CampbellKyle

    When interest rates are high, it will make it more expensive for people to borrow money and it will reduce consumer spending. If inflation is high, it can reduce the purchasing power of consumers and lead to higher prices for goods and services. Both these events have happened in Australia right now. Any renter or mortgagee are greatly affected and despondent about these events as you both stated. However I didn't hear any of you speaking about increasing the pool of housing by increasing land available for new builds and reducing local govt bureaucracy to increase new builds. Government policies for a big Australia proves that not nearly enough housing is being built in short enough time to supply them.
    If the cost escalation of land for new housing makes the development of new housing unaffordable, the supply of housing stagnates and demand is forced to chase existing stock. This has lead to an increase in house prices and rents, which makes it more difficult for people to afford a home. As you both stated it's not the prices of homes but the volume of houses sold where realtors and Bankers make their money. Therefore this industry needs to pressure all govts to make it easier and more affordable for Australian to buy and keep a roof over their heads.

High interest rates are bad for younger people trying to own their own home, but only because housing prices are so high in the first place. A few percent make a big difference. The high cost of housing is just all round bad. Except of course for property moguls who rely on price inflation.

    This entire discussion amuses me in many ways. If either participant found themselves at the grocery store, confronting ever-increasing food prices, I believe the conversation would shift dramatically. This issue may not be as impactful for those with a financial cushion, but let's face it, everyone has to eat and home ownership is not a reality for the majority. Moreover, many homeowners actually possess multiple properties! The argument that investors should be given special considerations no longer holds water. They've enjoyed their privileged status for too long. The past decade has heavily favored them, transforming the housing market into a no-loss game. If a chicken could have invested in property, even it would have turned a profit! But now, the game is changing as their playground has metaphorically been run over by a garbage truck. It's high time investors face genuine risk, and it's only fair. People shouldn't assume that wealth should automatically perpetuate more wealth, but that's exactly what has been happening for the past decade. I advocate for more stringent measures. Let's level the playing field. It's time for this lopsided game to end.
