Podcast: There aren't enough houses! Interest rates are rising again

2-Sense podcast

This week on the property podcast, Chris and I discussed:

  • RBA lifted rates and could do so again if inflation persists 
  • Oil shock reigniting inflation risk, feeding into rate expectations and dampening buyer confidence
  • The hidden costs of moving house in Australia
  • First-home buyers still active but adjusting budgets; upgraders slowing, especially in key markets
  • Market turning K-shaped: premium softening while entry-level demand stays strong via 5% deposit schemes
  • Rental pressure intensifying: how long will shortages last?
  • Structural challenges: dwelling numbers, demographic shifts, and mismatched supply
  • Development conditions are constrained: what can builders do?
  • Listener Q&A
