Podcasts about House prices

This week, we expose how a billionaire US mining cartel got slapped with a pathetic $55 million fine for illegally destroying endangered WA forests — then immediately received government permission to keep doing it. We break down the Minister's discretion loophole that lets politicians approve environmental destruction under "national security" exemptions, supposedly for renewable energy, while endangered black cockatoos lose their habitat. The $250 Billion Housing Scam Nobody Wants You To Understand Konrad breaks down the Capital Gains Tax discount — the 1999 policy that's cost Australia $250 billion over the next decade and handed 82% of the benefits to the top 10% of earners (and 60% to the top 1%). We expose why investors get half-price tax on property profits while you pay full tax on your wages, why the media machine is absolutely losing it over potential reforms, and how Domain, REA, and Murdoch's new mortgage company are all incentivized to keep house prices sky-high. Plus: the Punters Lobbyist hunt continues with applications rolling in, Konrad confesses to accepting a free e-bike and puts his fate in the hands of Patreon punters, we clarify Tanya Plibersek's trust situation, and Spotify pulls down last week's episode over four seconds of a Madonna song.

UK Property Market Update The headlines for the 6th week of the 2026 UK Property Market (week ending Sun 15th February 2026)

House prices are now more than 20% above the 2007 peak. Demand is high. Supply is short. So where does that leave would-be homeowners?Crowds gather outside The Hoxton Hotel as a legal row over late-night DJs sparks a bigger question – is Dublin becoming a city for tourists first and residents second?And we break down the runners and riders in the Dublin Central by-election.With Mary Fitzpatrick, Rory Hearne and Fionnan Sheahan.

So the OCR decision was largely as expected yesterday, but what the Reserve Bank made very clear is where they think growth will come from. As we've spoken about on the show lately, house prices aren't running away here like in Australia, bar Queenstown. In previous recoveries, the wealth effect kicks in and people go shopping when their house prices go up. But this time the bank says prices will stay flat, then pick up again later this year, but only at the rate of income growth. In other words, the opposite of what we're used over the past few decades. Usually, as anyone who's tried to buy a house will know, the price of a three-beddy in Auckland grows quicker than your salary. That's all changed now because we have more supply, at least according to the bank. So without the tickle up, where does economic growth come from? Anna Breman answered that question specifically yesterday and was pretty clear: agricultural exports, tourism, and more recently, some signs that manufacturing is picking up. These are industries that bring us money from offshore. They provide the basis for other sectors, like services, to pick up. If you're a farmer or tourism operator in Queenstown or Rotorua, you should feel proud of that. And we, through our government, should support them. That means staying off their backs and letting them get on doing what they do best: feeding the world and providing unforgettable experiences for visitors. On manufacturing, it's hard to ignore the energy debate. If we don't have a steady and reliable supply of electricity, trying to run a factory or a mill, as the central North Island has learnt the hard way just recently, becomes very difficult. So while LNG and coal for Huntly, or methane target changes, might sound bad, they're basically what ensure we support the industries that support us. What the Reserve Bank said unequivocally yesterday if that without them, there is no growth. And without growth, there are no new jobs. There ain't more tax. No new hospitals. Etc. etc. This is not to say it's a perfect world. There are costs to not doing environmental stuff. But for them to work, you need the world on board. In the meantime, the question is whether we can afford to bite the economic hand that feeds us. If you listen to the bank, it wouldn't appear so.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New housing data shows the market hasn't quite matched the mood of the economy as of yet. The Real Estate Institute of New Zealand says housing sales are down 5.4 percent from January last year. Prices were also softer, with REINZ's House Price Index dropping 0.6 percent compared to December. Property Investors Federation expert Matt Ball says it looks like the housing market will stay flat for the next little while, but it's about the bigger picture.

Japanese GDP is weak, but Thailand's economic growth beat forecasts. New Zealand's housing market is soft. And the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) is expected to hold its official cash rate tomorrow.

Kia ora.Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.Today we lead with news the modest US inflation rate reported for January is fueling a disconnect and scepticism in US households.But first, this is a week where we will get the next RBNZ OCR review on Wednesday, important because it is Governor Brennan's first. And she will get her first inkling of January inflation impulses on Tuesday, and may have the January REINZ data later today. And she will likely know how the bank's consumer and business surveys are tracking, especially on inflation expectations.In Australia, the key data will come on Thursday with their January labour force updates. And the RBA will release the minutes of it February 4 meeting on Tuesday, always a potential market-moving event.The US Fed will also release its minutes this week. And we will get the advance estimate of Q4-2025 US GDP, as well as the Fed's [referred inflation gauge, the PCE. Canada will chime in with its own key releases.In China, markets will be closed for the week-long Lunar New Year holiday from February 16 to 23, although January foreign direct investment data is still expected to be released. Elsewhere, trade figures are due from Singapore, Malaysia, and New Zealand, while Malaysia will also publish inflation data.Over the weekend, China reported that that price deflation in their housing market picked up in January for a third straight month at a faster pace, overall down -3.1% from a year ago. In January, the year-on-year sales price of existing homes in first-tier cities fell by -7.6%. Specifically, prices in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen falling by -8.7%, -6.8%, -8.3%, and 6.5% respectively. In second- and third-tier cities, the year-on-year sales prices of existing homes fell by -6.2% and -6.1%. Prices for new-built houses fell too, but only by -2.1%.Staying in China, and as expected, the normal January surge in new yuan lending by banks occurred again this year, but by less than expected and by a -8.2% lower level than for 2025, -4.3% lower than for January 2024. And it was -5.8% lower than what was expected. It is a soft result and is typically followed by a sharply lower level of lending in February during the Spring Festival/CNY period. 2026 is off to a languid start for them.Meanwhile, China's export economy is still functioning at full speed. Their current account surplus widened to an unprecedented US$242 bln in Q4-2025, sharply higher than the US$164 bln recorded a year earlier.India also released bank loan data overnight, and their firms are borrowing up big. In fact, it was up +14.6% in January from a year ago, the strongest surge in a year.Malaysia reported that its economic activity rose +6.3% in Q4 2025 from a year ago, revised up from an initial 5.7% and accelerating from 5.4% growth in Q3. This was their sharpest expansion since Q4-2022, with broad gains in agriculture, driven by oil palm output (+16, manufacturing, and services.On Saturday in the US CPI inflation came in at 2.4% for the year to January, slightly below the expected 2.5%. Core inflation came in at the expected 2.5%. This result was all due to lower petrol prices and falling used car prices. However, food was up +2.9%, and rents were up +3.0%. Electricity prices were up +6.3% (thank you, AI) and home gas was up +9.8%. It will be hard for households to feel inflation is under control.And key will be how the US Fed will interpret this data when setting their policy rates at their next meeting on March 19, 20206 (NZT). Markets currently expect a hold, and at least until the middle of the year.And one reason food prices seem higher there than the official data is that US beef cattle herd is now at its lowest in 75 years. This helps explain why US imports are soaring, and prices are high & rising.And don't forget, it is a long holiday weekend in the US for Washington's Birthday/President's Day. US-based activity will be low tomorrow and that will show up in our financial markets.The UST 10yr yield is still just under 4.06%, little-changed from Saturday but it is down -15 bps from this time last week.The price of gold will start today up +US$21 from Saturday at US$5041/oz. Silver is down -50 USc at US$77.50/oz today.American oil prices are little-changed at just under US$63/bbl, while the international Brent price is still under US$68/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is little-changed against the USD from Saturday, now just on 60.4 USc and down -10 bps. Against the Aussie we are unchanged at 85.4 AUc. We are down marginally again against the yen. Against the euro we are unchanged at 50.9 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today little-changed, now at 63.8 and down -10 bps from Saturday.The bitcoin price starts today at US$68,565 and down -0.8% from this time Saturday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modeST at just under +/- 1.5%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston and we'll do this again tomorrow.

Property prices in London and parts of the South East fell this year by up to 8.9%, as Silver surged 138% and Gold continued its upward trajectory rising by just under 58%! Crawley, a town close to Gatwick airport in West Sussex, suffered an 8.9% drop of £36,000, with High Wycombe falling 7.4% wiping £34,000 off average house values. Even trendy Brighton was hit with a 4.8% or £20,000 dive, according to Lloyds bank. The London property market has also suffered a 2.4% year on year decline of 2.4%, not helped by a weak economy, tax hikes, Stamp Duty increase in April and uncertainty over the budget which saw the introduction of a mansion tax.

Overseas buyers have dried up, non-doms and the rich are leaving the UK in droves and property landlords have been selling up partly due to the Renters Rights Act and the abolition of Section 21 ‘no fault evictions'. Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced a new tax surcharge on rental income profits in her budget, which sees the tax burden rise to record levels. Buy-to-let landlords will pay a tax rate two percentage points higher than the basic and higher rates of tax from April 2027. Watch full video here - https://youtu.be/O38dvXPp22k There were a raft of hikes including a mansion tax on properties worth more than £2 million, mileage charge on EVs. Although successive governments seem to be doing their best to encourage the big corporate landlords and drive small landlords out of business (Section 24, licensing, increased red tape etc.), they still need the estimated 2.8 million private buy-to-let property landlords. Opportunities in 2026 Experienced investors will be sitting on cash and watching the housing and stock markets for opportunities to snap up assets at bargain prices, but timing the market can be tricky.

John Kehoe and Michael Bleby on the RBA’s inflation dilemma, why the next interest rate move might be up and how that will affect the property market. This podcast is sponsored by Aussie Broadband Further reading: Investors are flocking back to the property market Three interest rate cuts, double-digit price rises and tepid new housing supply have convinced investors that property is once again a sure bet. If you’re waiting for another rate cut, read this first The lower speed limit means the economy cannot afford as much income growth for people, and that living standards will increase by less than in the past. Housing market tipped to cool as rate cut hopes diminish Home prices grew 1.1 per cent in October, the fastest monthly pace in two years but some of the heat may come out soon as borrowing costs stay on hold.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We tend to discuss the nation's rental crisis in terms of the difficulties faced by young renters: But a one per cent vacancy rate also means anybody selling a home will find it difficult to rent in between selling and buying.This relatively new dynamic in the market also explains why it's Australia's hottest markets such as Brisbane and Perth where there is the least number of homes for sale.No wonder investors are returning to the property market. Cameron Kusher of Kusher Consulting joins James Kirby - Associate Editor, Wealth in this episode.
