"Over the past nine to 12 months, rental growth has started to pick-up noticeably. It is difficult to know exactly what has driven this however, rapid population growth and the sheer lack of affordability of owning a home are most likely drivers. Furthermore, the rising popularity of AirBNB is potentially resulting in some level of stock removal from the long-term rental market"
An historical event about to take place in Australia Rental prices have peaked in ALL capitals and will now decline for years we have now reached this peak from which rental prices will not only no longer grow, but they will start falling What we are about to witness in all capitals, will be historic rental price declines. This will continue for years we are now at a historical point in Australian history, from which rental prices can no longer grow
"Home prices in Australia's major cities rose strongly in July, led by a surge in Melbourne, putting a question mark over regulators' attempts to cool the market through tighter rules on leveraged property investors.
Annual growth in prices accelerated to 10.5 per cent, from 9.6 per cent, and back toward the peak of 12.9 per cent reached early in the year.
Melbourne led the pack with an outsized increase of 3.1 per cent in July alone, which lifted annual price growth in the city to a blistering 15.9 per cent.
Sydney prices rose 1.4 per cent in the month, and 12.4 per cent for the year."
This is why you have to have rocks in your head to be a renter if you have other options.
Sydney and Melbourne rents have basically never fallen in the past five decades, according to the official ABS data...
Which makes Ted's prediction even more amusing. He's already down a million bucks on the house he sold in 2011. It would be worth $2 million by now. Plus his gold losses (gold is still down in the $1500s which in real terms is an absolutely massive fall from its 2011- 2012 highs). Plus all the rent he has to fork out to his Lord each month (assuming he's not still slumming in his brother's shed). Poor old Ted, no wonder we never hear from him these days.

According to the ABS data, the average NSW unemployment rate since 1978 is 6.7%, and while it briefly touched 4.5% on one occasion, the current 4.8% is extremely low.
So house prices up, rents up, jobs up, and wages up. Recent times have been rough for the poor old Sydney bears and renters.
"This is just the start. Over time, we will bring thousands of new jobs to Australia and millions of dollars of investment as well as opening up the opportunity for thousands of Australian businesses to sell at home and abroad through Amazon Marketplace."
Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
