Melbourne house values tumbled by 1.2 per cent in February and 11.5 per cent over the past 12 months.

Unit values in both cities are holding a little better. They dropped by 0.8 per cent in Sydney last month and by 0.6 per cent in Melbourne, for annual declines of 7.8 per cent and 3.7 per cent respectively.While the focus of policy makers has been on the nation's two largest markets, the February figures point to a more general slowdown.

"The February housing market results marked a subtle improvement in the rate of decline, however, the housing market downturn is now more widespread geographically and we aren't seeing any indicators pointing to the market bottoming out yet." Brisbane, where combined house and unit values are now down by 0.5 per cent over the past year, is in negative territory for the first time since 2012.

House price falls are not the economy's biggest worryReserve Bank governor Dr Philip Lowe had more sensible things to say in three hours than we usually get in a month. 1RossGittins RBAInfo JoshFrydenberg michellegrattan tony_r_wood Marcus_Today Wage growth went down after GFC and during period of high oil prices. It's about peak conventional oil, mate, get used to it. The economy is driven by energy, not election spin or Press Club speeches RBA 1RossGittins Employment growth may have little positive effect if it is driven by high immigration which increases infrastructure expenditure in budgets and reduces productivity (traffic jams, power outages due to overload of outdated equipment and new demand from energy hungry high rises)

Sydney Opera House ads appeared next to anti-women YouTube videosAdvertisements for The Sydney Opera House were running on anti-feminist YouTube videos criticising single and working mums sparking fresh calls for greater regulation of online advertising giants. I didn't know Australians were fascists. People often don’t get a choice where you tube or other social media place their ads. I have informed companies before that their ads are appearing along side really dubious and sexual things. They say that was not their decision but would look into it 😞 Usually the companies won't have the access to decide where their ads would appear. YouTube is already shit atm plz don't create another adpocalypse... This is a problem of YouTube not the advertiser

Property investors battered by a 'perfect storm' of falling prices and tighter creditThe combined impact of falling property prices, weaker rents, a lending crackdown and unfavourable tax changes risks triggering a property investor exodus from the market. Negativity of press is not helping the property market so narrow minded reporting can’t you report on the new mining boom here or President Trump meeting with Korea and he’s nearly finalized the deal with China’s d the stock exchange Wall Street is pumping good news if you look wow, who could have seen this coming Forcing the under 40’s to be stuck renting to pay off other people’s bad and over indulgent investments - that’s all that is happening. 🙄
