The 3 words that tell me this property boom is over for now
Roger Montgomery
November 24, 2021
The key driver for the short and medium-term direction of the Australian property market can be boiled down to just three words: access to credit. And, right now, the conditions for credit access are getting tighter. To my mind, it all points to a property market that is about to lose its froth. continue…

Are booming house prices making us a nation of home loan liars?
Andreas Lundberg
October 7, 2021
When applying for a mortgage, it seems many of us are not honest with our lenders. In fact, according to recent research by UBS, around half of new loans are awarded based on false information. And not only are more people lying on their mortgage application, they are lying far more about their income, cost of living, other assets, and other borrowings. The big question for investors is whether these ‘liar loans’ could have a downstream impact on the lenders. continue…

Why Chinese property worries affect us all
Andreas Lundberg
September 23, 2021
As you’ve probably read, China’s number two property developer, Evergrande, is on the verge of collapse, dragged down by excessive debt and an inability to take on more debt. Evergrande’s woes have helped send the price of iron ore plummeting – not to mention the share prices of our largest miners: BHP, Rio and Fortescue. My concern is that the problems besetting the Chinese property market will have repercussions well beyond the miners and their investors. continue…

Why REA could be a better way to invest in property
Roger Montgomery
August 16, 2021
According to a recent rent report by Domain, gross rental yields have dived to around 4 per cent on the back of soaring property prices. This makes direct investment in property less appealing than it once was. But there are other ways to profit from Australia’s obsession with property. And one of those is via online real estate advertising company, REA Group (ASX:REA). continue…

Why property prices should continue to climb
Roger Montgomery
June 8, 2021
CoreLogic has just reported that national dwelling prices rose by 2.3 per cent in May. That’s an annualised rate of more than 28 per cent. And with lenders continuing to provide cheap and easy access to credit, and investors showing lots of interest, I don’t see the property market cooling off any time soon. continue…

WHITEPAPER
VALUE AND GROWTH: TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN
The investment industry and media spend a lot of time discussing ‘value’ versus ‘growth’ investing – and which of them is currently winning. But we don’t believe they’re opposite concepts. Investors should consider both ideas together as they seek out quality companies with bright prospects that will deliver rewards over time.

Why I’m still bullish on residential property prices
Roger Montgomery
April 7, 2021
Across Australia, property prices are on a tear, driven for a change by owner-occupiers rather than investors. What’s more, I’m convinced that prices have much further to run, fuelled by low interest rates and supportive government policies. continue…

Why government should not water down responsible lending laws
Andreas Lundberg
March 23, 2021
Last year, in direct contradiction to a key recommendation of the Banking Royal Commission, the Federal Government put forward a proposal to ‘relax’ lending standards by the banks. Thankfully, a vote on the legislation has now been put on hold, and I’m hoping the proposal will be shelved completely. continue…

Why I think house prices will keep going up
Roger Montgomery
March 18, 2021
Australia is in the grip of its biggest property price boom in more than a decade. The boom is motivated in no small part by a fear of missing out. But there are also other important factors at play, leading me to believe that this trend could continue for some time. continue…

How to reduce the interest rate on your mortgage
Andreas Lundberg
December 9, 2020
A new report by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has found that, as a whole, Australians are paying too much interest on their mortgages. How much too much? Well, according to a conservative estimate, as a nation we are likely paying at least $10 billion per year more than we need to. Thankfully, there are steps to take to get a better rate. continue…

Are Aussie home prices are about to boom?
Roger Montgomery
November 30, 2020
If you think residential real estate in our major cities is already too expensive, then hang onto your hat. Because I think the conditions are right for home prices to explode.
