The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Australia's housing market, which had been booming for a long time, is now declining rapidly.
- Rising interest rates and tax changes are pulling property values down.
- Falling home sales are also hurting consumer spending and construction activity across the country.
- Many families are postponing purchases in the hope of further price drops while dealing with higher costs, and the report calls this correction potentially one of the biggest downturns in Australia's housing history.
What to watch next
- Whether rising interest rates and tax changes continue to push property values lower
- The extent to which declining home sales further affect consumer spending and construction
- Whether families delaying purchases lead to a deeper or prolonged downturn
