Episode Synopsis

This year’s immigration intake means a city the size of Newcastle has effectively arrived looking for accommodation within the nation’s existing housing stock - and it’s the key reason rental incomes are soaring and vacancy rates are close to one per cent. Moreover, there is very little to suggest the scenario of demand greatly outweighing supply will change over the next three years. In today’s show we cover; the very strong outlook for rental investment property, why house prices can keep rising moderately from here, rock bottom home ownership levels for younger Australians and is Hobart set to slip from Australia’s fourth most expensive city. Saul Eslake of Corinna Economic Advisory joins Wealth Editor James Kirby on today’s episode See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
