At Australian Property Talk, two ex-Treasury Economists have a chat about all things Aussie Real Estate. I'm Redom Syed, founder of Confidence Finance, an award-winning mortgage broking company that’s worked with 1000s of homebuyers and investors across the country. When I was 15, both my parents lost their jobs and our family eventually lost the house & car to debt collectors. Since then, I've built one of Australia's best mortgage broking businesses - ranking inside the top 100 mortgage brokers for 5 years running. I've also built up a $25million property portfolio, buying my first home in 2014 to developing luxury homes across Sydney today. On this journey, I've met 1000s of amazing people who've helped inspire me. Curtis Stewart, my co-host, is one of Australia's leading brokers and is an active property investor.

Send us a Text Message.We deep dive into the latest inflation data moments after its release.Trimmed mean inflation, the RBA's preferred measure of inflation, came in at 0.8% for the June Quarter. Headline inflation came in at 1%, up 3.8% for the year.Making up this inflation data:⭐ ‘Non tradables inflation' came in at 5%, unchanged from last quarter. This shows domestic based inflation pressures are now driving inflation.⭐ Goods inflation both ticked up a bit to 3.2% for the year⭐ Services inflation came in higher at 4.5%.What does this mean for interest rates?⭐ While this print does not rule anything in or out, it's unlikely to drive an interest rate increase next month.Overall this is encouraging news for mortgage holders. This data set was perceived as ‘dangerous'. If it came in above expectations, there was a high chance it could drive a rate rise. This print is more than likely going to continue the ‘holding pattern' the Reserve Bank of Australia are currently in.The AUD fell on the news, and the share market went up - indicating traders will pare back bets on any rate rise next week.Encouragingly, lead data on HOUSING, which makes up 22% of the CPI basket, shows positive signs to future CPI releases. Both asking rents and construction costs are rising at a slower rate. This should put downward pressure on future inflation data.Reach out to us at www.australianpropertytalk.com.au
