Roger Montgomery
October 9, 2018

How well do you know your mortgage?
Andreas Lundberg
September 19, 2018
The very well-respected bank team at UBS published a very interesting piece of research today that we believe is well worth taking a look at. The team performs an annual survey of Australians who have taken out a mortgage during the previous 12 months. The survey covers 1008 individuals and is spread both geographically and in loan size, so the findings are statistically significant for the overall population.

Roger Montgomery

Despite falling prices, Aussie property is still expensive
Andreas Lundberg
August 15, 2018
If you’ve seen recent headlines about falling property prices, you might form the impression that housing is on the verge of becoming affordable, and that owning a home is again a realistic goal for young people. But the latest data shows that the price falls in most capital cities have been modest at best. continue…

Diving a bit deeper into the Australian property market
Tim Kelley
August 3, 2018
One of the significant issues currently facing investors in the Australian equity market is the possible trajectory of the residential property market.

Why the RBA can’t stop a slide in property prices
Roger Montgomery
July 17, 2018
Is the property price boom finally over? It looks like it, going by the latest reports of falling auction clearance rates. In the past, the RBA has done its bit to try to stem a property price slide.
