The question we argue about in this episode isn't whether prices are falling. It's how far they go, and whether the worst of it has already happened on the ground while the data is still 6 months behind.In this episode Curtis and I go city by city through what ANZ, NAB and CoreLogic are actually forecasting for the next 12 months, then put our own numbers next to theirs. Curtis calls Sydney at 15.1%, which would make it the biggest fall in 40 years. I land closer to 11 or 12%, and I explain why the composition of the Sydney market makes a 15% aggregate fall very hard to produce. We then work through Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth, what listings are signalling in each one, and the single event that flips the whole market.What you'll learn:📍 What ANZ, NAB and CoreLogic have forecast for every capital city, and exactly where we disagree with them📍 Why Sydney is behaving like two separate markets, and why the top end is wearing most of the fall📍 The case for Western Sydney outperforming the national market over the next 5 years📍 Why I think the trough was yesterday rather than tomorrow, and what a lagging data series hides from buyers📍 Brisbane listings swinging from 40% below average to 8% above in the space of 7 months, on the lowest yields in the country at 3.3%📍 Why Adelaide is capped by rents, and why Perth may still have room left in the tank📍 The labour market numbers the RBA isn't reading, and why I think 6 to 8 rate cuts are comingSubscribe for a data-first read on the Australian property market every week.#AustralianProperty #SydneyProperty #HousePrices #InterestRates #PropertyInvestingChapters00:00 The bold call - Sydney's biggest fall in 40 years?00:32 What the banks are predicting for the next 12 months01:05 Sydney: the ANZ, NAB and CoreLogic numbers02:24 Curtis says 15.1%.
