Talking Finance - 6 March 2017

The property market in Hobart has lain dormant while the rest of the country experienced increasing sale prices. Now, properties in the Tasmanian capital are selling like hotcakes, while still being some of the most affordable in the country. Paul Farrelly from Nest Realty in Hobart has on-the-ground experience and some good advice for investors. Meanwhile, Michael Corcoran from the Urban Development Institute says there's more to the property boom than just increased lending - it's about lack of supply and taxes too. The impact of Cyclone Debby is still being tallied and bananas are safe, but tomatoes and capsicums could be in short supply. Felicity Emmett from ANZ Research forecasts how the Australian economy could fare once the flood waters settle. And Sally Auld from JP Morgan has a recap of the banking regulators actions over the week.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
