Episode 86: Rate Cuts, Wage Data, and the Next Phase of Australia’s Property Cycle
Manage episode 484061807 series 3412395
The RBA has delivered a 0.25% interest rate cut, opting for a cautious step down while acknowledging growing international risks. In this episode, Ciaran O'Brien and Peter O'Malley break down what this move signals for property buyers, investors, and the broader economy.
We examine the deteriorating labour market, wage growth dynamics, and why a global economic downturn could reshape the Australian property landscape. From Scott Pape’s warning to Westpac’s workforce cuts, we connect the dots on how this cycle might play out.
Sydney’s auction clearance rates remain stuck below 50%, the housing shortage worsens, and winter conditions start to chill market activity.
