Podcast appearances and mentions of martin north

Is all this property wealth we talk about actually real—or is it just theoretical? That’s what we unpack in this episode with our guest Martin North, founder of Digital Finance Analytics and someone who’s been watching the numbers and the story behind them for years. We ask him: is Australia’s $11 trillion property market built on something solid, or are we clinging to an illusion that’s quietly reshaping the country? Martin walks us through what he calls a “Python swallowing an elephant” moment; the massive bulge of intergenerational wealth that’s moving slowly through the system. We get into what’s really happening with downsizing, why reverse mortgages might not be the win they’re often sold as, and what happens when kids start relying too heavily on the Bank of Mum and Dad. Spoiler: it’s not as simple or as safe as people think. We also look at what governments are doing, policies around death tax fears, proposed taxes on unrealized gains in super, and the broader impact of kicking the can down the road. Martin doesn’t hold back when it comes to calling out flawed thinking or dangerous policy decisions, and it makes for a really thoughtful, at times surprising, conversation. If you’re trying to make sense of where the market’s heading or what might be brewing beneath all this apparent prosperity, you’ll want to sit with this one. It’s not about panic—it’s about facing the bigger picture and asking the harder questions most people still avoid.

Rather, Nucleus Wealth offers investors a system of investment that incorporates three core strategies: (i) customisable; (ii) transparent; and (iii) safe.

Nucleus Wealth utilises a number of domestic and international sources to identify whether companies from particular countries or sectors fall within the categories of screens and tilts which the investor may choose to apply. While Nucleus Wealth undertakes its own fundamental analysis on each company, there is also the risk that investors could reach a different conclusion to Nucleus Wealth on whether a company falls within the frame of responsible filters being applied.

Is this the beginning of the end of the property boom? If you've been following the property news lately you be forgiven for thinking so. The Chiefs of two of the biggest banks have suggested that regulators should step in and introduce macro-prudential controls to slow down our booming housing markets. In the closing statements of the ‘Housing Market and Financial Stability' speech delivered by the RBA's Assistant Governor Michele Bullock on Wednesday, Bullock hinted at the possibility that the RBA could intervene in Australia's housing market. The International Monetary Fund has issued warning about Australian house prices and Digital Finance Analytics principal Martin North gave a chilling forecast that home prices in Sydney and Melbourne outer suburbs could fall a staggering $200,000 while the crash could be even worse for apartments when lending rules were tightened. So, should we be scared? That's what I'm going to be chatting about with Australia's leading housing economist Dr. Andrew Wilson today. And here's a spoiler alert – NO you don't need to worry! Now if you have been a subscriber to this podcast for a while or followed my blogs or YouTube videos, you'd know for the last 3 years I have recorded a weekly Property Insiders video chat with Dr Andrew Wilson. And his assessment of and forecasts for our economy and property markets have been remarkably accurate so whether you're a beginning property investor or an experienced I'm sure you'll benefit from my chat with Andrew today which is the audio of one of our recent Property Insider videos. However, since we recorded this video Federal Treasurer Josh Frydenberg has given the green light to introducing macroprudential curbs to mortgage lending. The last time lending restrictions were implemented in 2017, the focus was on dampening investor lending and the high percentage of interest-only mortgages. However, this time around the main concern seems to be an increasing share of loans on a high debt-to-income ratio. 22 percent of new mortgage holders now have debt that exceeds their income by more than six times, up from 16 percent a year ago. But, as you'll hear Andrew Wilson explain in our chat, regulators should be aware of unintended consequences. Their crackdown is likely to hit first home buyers rather than Australia's wealthy. Targeting debt-to-income ratios will have a limited impact on higher-wealth households, who often have multiple streams of income. However, it will affect lower-income households and those purchasing property for the first time. There are several reasons the debt-to-income ratios have risen over the past year. Firstly, low interest rates by their nature allow people to service more debt as repayments fall. And second, the share of lending to first-home buyers has increased significantly on the back of HomeBuilder, the federal government's First Home Loan Deposit Scheme, and individual state government incentives. First-home buyers tend to be more indebted as they stretch to get into the market. Given improving homeownership rates is the goal of these government schemes, it seems counterproductive to limit first-home buyers by reducing their ability to borrow. And another reason that debt to income ratios have increased is that many established homeowners have upgraded their homes over the last year or two, partly because of the low-cost borrowing, partly because the value of the home has increased considerably given them equity to upgrade and also because of the increased requirements for more space such as a zoom room, etc. My Property Update Chat with Andrew Wilson Looking back over the first 9 months of this year, our property markets have performed even more strongly than anyone ever expected, with the rates of house price growth at levels not seen for a number of decades. In fact, all capital city markets have already experienced double-digit capital growth so far this year and many locations will experience growth of more than 20% over 2021. Of course, it must be remembered that the last peak for our property markets was in 2017, and in many locations, housing prices remain stagnant over the ensuing couple of years and it was really only earlier this year that new highs were reached. Meaning that average price growth was unexceptional over the long term. But over the last week or two, there seems to have been a sudden change of sentiment about our booming housing markets. A sense of urgency has crept into the tone of those at the helm of our big banks, as the CEOs of two of Australia's largest banks have sounded off about emerging lending risks. Topics We Discuss on Today's Show: Whether or not the high debt-to-income ratios of home buyers is really a problem Price growth has averaged a modest 4% per annum since 2017 – despite record falls in mortgage rates over that period Monthly house price growth in most capital cities has halved over the past three months and continues to track downwards The Reserve Bank does not have a role in setting house prices. The RBA's mandate to stimulate employment which currently means keeping interest rates low The Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority, and its purpose of making sure the banks are operating soundly and there is no deterioration in lending standards. There seems little to be concerned about current lending practices as interest-only loans are essentially a non-issue these days, and with rental vacancies at near-record lows, the market needs property investors.

We're living in such a crazy time. COVID is still rampant globally and has more or less affected most markets for better or worse. The property market has also been affected, but how much has it been really hit? Today we're having a chat with Martin North because we want to get a contrarian perspective. We'll be uncovering the dark underbelly of what's driving this property market and seeking his perspective on these crazy times we live in. We talk about whether or not the government has run out of stimulus, what businesses have been hit by COVID, why properties actually CAN go down contrary to popular belief, and so much more. We'll see you in the episode!   Episode Highlights: Has the government run out of stimulus? [01:46] How sustainable is pumping stimulus at the lower end of the margin? [06:49] These businesses feel the impact of COVID more than others [11:21] Different markets behave differently [14:32] The unit market versus the rest [16:17] The current state of the high-rise property market [19:05] The continuous ‘supply' of house and land packages [23:12] What's with New Zealand possibly lifting their interest rates?

Australian property markets are in a slump and the media is full of stories and headlines full of doom and gloom. Is the media just reporting on the property market downturn? Or are they helping to create it? That's one of the topics I'll be discussing with Dr. Andrew Wilson in this week's Property Insiders chat. Listen in to get a better idea of what's going on in the background in the media and in our property markets. But first, in my mindset session, I'm going to share with you five mistakes that a lot of people make that prevent them from becoming financially free.  While getting financially free is about the money, it's more about the money habits that many people have. You might have them yourself or know other people who have them. These habits are what stop people from achieving financial freedom. The top five ‘financial mindset mistakes' you're probably making Becoming financially free is about your habits. It's not about getting lucky at the Casino one night or a spectacular financial investment that went your way. It's about making good decisions, day in and day out, and continuing to make those decisions over a long period of time until it becomes a habit. This means following a few rules on what we allow ourselves to think and dwell upon. If you can avoid adopting any of the following common mindsets, you'll already be ahead of the game:  MINDSET 1: Relying on a wage to get wealthy MINDSET 2: Thinking investing is too hard MINDSET 3: Thinking money just causes problems MINDSET 4: Thinking you don't deserve it MINDSET 5: Being afraid of making a mistake Ask yourself: have you ever fallen into one of the above mindsets? I bet it's held you back.   The good news is that there's always time to change your mindset. Money doesn't discriminate – it doesn't care who owns it. So why not have your share? Is the media creating the current property downturn? We're suffering a crisis of confidence and in my mind, the media has a lot to answer for. Is the media reporting consumer sentiment or is the media's negative sentiment creating a crisis of confidence?  You can't buy a paper or go online without a headline warning us that property Armageddon is around the corner. Sure, there's a credit squeeze, but the average consumer has lost their confidence because of the media. And the media keeps looking for experts chasing a headline. Listen as Dr. Andrew Wilson chief economist at and I discuss: While the fundamentals are relatively easy to quantify and examine – consumer behaviour is the X factor – hard to predict Worse with the 24/7 news cycle The media loves hotspotting – it's a bit like stock picking The market turned around last year after that famous 60 Minutes program in October last year. Martin North gave 4 scenarios but they honed in on the worst scenario Many of those who make predictions don't have skin in the game – or come from a general economic or stock market background, not property Steven Keen got a lot of publicity in 2008 in midst of GFC said property prices would fall 40% - lots of news coverage – prices fell 5.5% Had to walk 200km from Canberra to Mt Kosiosko wearing a T-shirt saying: "I was hopelessly wrong on home prices! Ask me how. Said he got the timing wrong – he said prices would fall 20% in 2011 and the market boomed – but got lots of publicity Some say I'm permanently optimistic about the property markets – but that's not correct – I'm realistic – in fact, I'm pessimistic about more locations that I think will do well – only 1% of properties are investment grade. 10 million properties in Australia avoid, regional, main roads most suburbs Perma Bears - Doomsayers make money from their predictions Confirmation bias – you read things to confirm your preformed beliefs The rabbit hole of Google – you'll keep reading articles that confirm what you just read.
