Mortgage Broker Chris Bates and Buyer’s Agent Pete Wargent are taking a deep dive on today’s episode on interest rates from borrowing capacity to how long and how high we think interest rates will go, whether Australia will go into recession (and if so effect this will have on the property market) and what the tourism rebound will do for the economy and housing supply.

On this episode of the Australian Property Podcast:

Interest rates deep dive

  • What might happen if we get further rate hikes and how long will rates stay high?
  • What implications does this mean for your borrowing capacity, stock supply and unemployment?
  • What are the best mortgage rates on the market?
  • What are peoples’ saving rates?
  • How much of the interest rate increase are banks passing on?

The recession debate

  • Do we need a recession to bring down inflation?
  • With New Zealand technically entering a recession what might happen in Australia?
  • Consumer confidence is at near lockdown lows, however, housing expectations are still strong. Why is this? And what could change this?

Tourism rebound

  • With tourism creeping back to highs, while Australians are slowing down their international travel, what might this mean for the housing supply and the Aussie economy?
