Why sky-high property prices are here to stay – for now
Roger Montgomery
March 4, 2022
When it comes to explaining our booming property market, one thing stands out: access to cheap loans. So I’m sure many property owners would have breathed a sigh of relief this week when the Reserve Bank of Australia confirmed the historically low overnight cash rate of 0.1 per cent would remain unchanged. continue…

A closer look at REA Group’s half year results
Roger Montgomery
February 7, 2022
At $135.00 on 27 January, REA Group’s (ASX:REA) share price had fallen almost a quarter from its high of $176.81 in November 2021. The move demonstrates even high-quality company shares can succumb to the vagaries of sentiment, especially when investors abandon long-term investing plans in favour of short-term fears about where share prices might land tomorrow or next week. continue…

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…

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…
