In this episode of The Australian Property Podcast:

  • The Reserve Bank of Australia – ON HOLD!
  • Early indications from spending trackers (like ANZ data) is that spending slowed in March
  • A retail recession?
  • Has the housing market already ‘bottomed’?
  • SQM Research now forecasts gains in 2023, especially in Sydney where rents are rocketing, and also in Perth!
  • What’s the impact of WFH and AI on knowledge workers?
  • Could lead to some amazing productivity gains for some people
  • On the other hand, could replace many jobs and leave lower-skilled workers with nothing to do. Then what? UBI?
  • Like with the internet, social media, and iPhone, it will be up to you to position yourself to benefit, rather than lose out

The “bottom of the market is a process, rather than an event” Pete Wargent
