RMIT’s senior lecturer of finance, Dr Angel Zhong, delves into short selling – the original trade that sent GameStop stock soaring – and how activist short-sellers are impacting markets.

And lastly, tax and super guru Timothy Munro talks about those early tax lodgers and possible ramifications, as well as detailing the temporary shortcut method, which you may be able to use this tax time.

House price growth has peaked, says ANZ

By Reporter

Growth in Australian house prices looks poised to ‘slow sharply’ in the coming months and years, with stricter conditions for borrowing and out-of-cycle rate hikes weighing on the property market, ANZ says.

House price growth has peaked, says ANZ

By Reporter

June 13 2017

In a housing market update this week, ANZ Research said it expects “prices to slow sharply this year and next” and flagged the potential oversupply of apartments – particularly in Melbourne and Brisbane – as a key concern.

“The twin issues of housing affordability and financial stability are front of mind for governments, the RBA and APRA,” the bank said, adding, “Household debt is at record levels, which increases vulnerability to future shocks.”

According to ANZ, the residential construction cycle has lost momentum with approvals down about 20 per cent from their 2016 peak. The major bank expects another 5-10 per cent fall in the next six to 12 months.

“That said, the solid pipeline of work suggests that the level of residential construction activity will slow only gradually this year. There has been a slight rise in settlement risk which bears close monitoring,” ANZ said.

ANZ believes the housing market will steadily cool going forward with a combination of further regulation and changes to government policy, tighter borrowing conditions and out-of-cycle mortgage rate increases all expected to weigh on the outlook for prices.

“We anticipate nationwide dwelling prices will rise by 4.5 per cent through 2017, before slowing further to 1.9 per cent 2018 and expect to see continued divergence across regions,” it said.

While price growth in Sydney and Melbourne is expected to slow to well below historical averages, ANZ said these markets will stay positive as demand and population growth remain elevated.

“On the other hand, prices are expected to ease slightly through 2018 in Brisbane, given the significant volume of supply due to hit that market,” the bank said.
