Leverage

Interesting to see the comments this week from ASIC chairman Greg Medcraft in relation to house prices, and the swift rebuttal from the Housing Industry Association (HIA). For those who came in late, the HIA position seems to be that there is currently no cause for alarm, although we could be in shaky territory in 12 months’ time if recent growth rates continue. ASIC, which presumably has no vested interest in continuing strong house prices, seems to be concerned that we may already be in bubble territory.

The paper was two days old – a function of relying on the airlines to deliver the papers and the fact that ‘island life’ means islanders aren’t that interested in the content. What didn’t age however was the human tendency to overreact.
