Economists the current property downturn could be the steepest and longest since the 1990s as the days of rock bottom rates end with households more indebted than ever, writes TawarRazaghi.

In previous property booms, house prices on average rose 32.7 per cent and the upswing on average lasted on average 33 months.

In previous downswings, house prices on average declined 3per cent and the falls on average lasted nine months.During the early 2000s, the boom lasted 42 months and prices soared 76.4 per cent. While it was unlikely the median house price across the combined capitals would return to pre-pandemic levels, which would mean a 25 per cent decline, Powell said the current downswing could be steeper than the last one in 2017-19, when prices fell by 7.9 per cent.

“Over the last 30 years rates have come down, each time they went to a new low – that enabled people to gear up, propelling prices to a new high. It also meant that any downswing was relatively brief. That started to change in the 2017-19 downswing,” Oliver said. At record property prices and levels of debt, Oliver said it was unlikely for property prices to record upswings of previous magnitudes achieved thanks to rock bottom rates.

“This downturn we’re expecting will be the largest and deepest downturn since the early ’80s,” McMenamin said.He said there had been a structural decline in interest rates over a long period of time, but that trend has now ended, meaning the same magnitude of property price increases is now unlikely.

Market downturns beget more hostile, less friendly M&AAs we watch the economic headwinds facing us in the 2022-23 financial year, it is only reasonable to expect we are likely to see more hostile activity in the short term. The common people have saved you selfish self-important greedy-arsed bandit bankers once already, with no thanks or recognition. This time I’d rather you all went to hell in a hand basket, even if we all have to go down with you.

Disability service platforms cut staff as start-up downturn comes to NDISMany Australian start-ups have cut staff in recent months, but most do not have as crucial a role in their customer’s lives as Mable and Hireup. angusthomson_ Both maybe alright in big cities but are both useless in regional areas. Constantly get sent jobs that are 100-150kms away. Like all big NDIS companies I’m sure the CEOs haven’t taken a pay cut just got bigger bonuses angusthomson_ I’ve read that so many people on their platforms sign up but never get any work angusthomson_ The NDIS budget is blown.
