The Australian share market ended the week flat despite a slight lift on Friday. Investors remained cautious as global trade tensions dominated headlines, with a new US-UK trade deal sparking optimism and US-China tariff talks looming over the weekend. The market’s biggest movers included tech stocks, financials, and energy shares, while materials lagged due to falling gold prices. Looking ahead, key data releases from China and Australia—including inflation, jobs, and wages—alongside major events like the RBA interest rate decision and US economic reports, are set to drive market sentiment in the week ahead.

What's happening in property investing news this week in Australia?   It's time to find out!   We remove all the fluff to bring a neatly packaged news show, designed to keep you on the ball as an Australian Property Investor.     Let's see what's making property news headlines this week in Australia.      

It's certainly been a big week in Australia—with the Labor Party securing another term in government following the federal election, there's plenty of speculation about what that might mean for our economy, interest rates, and of course, the property markets. So today, before we dive into the latest data and trends, I unpack what this election result could mean for property investors, homebuyers, and renters across the country, and what the likely implications are for inflation, interest rates, and affordability? And to help make sense of it all, I'm joined by, Dr. Andrew Wilson Chief Economist at My Housing Market. We'll also discuss the latest inflation numbers, which are finally within the RBA's target range. But will that be enough to prompt a rate cut anytime soon? As well as what's happening in the rental markets, which eased slightly in April—but are tipped to tighten again in May. So if you're looking for the data behind the headlines—and what it all means for your property decisions, this is going to be a jam-packed episode for you.     Takeaways  ·         The Labor Party's election win will worsen the housing crisis. ·         The government's policies are primarily demand-side solutions without addressing supply issues. ·         First home buyer incentives will lead to higher property prices. ·         Inflation and interest rates are both falling. ·         The construction industry faces significant challenges in meeting housing demand. ·         Immigration policies will further strain the already undersupplied housing market. ·         Strategic investment in property is essential for long-term success. ·         The current market presents a window of opportunity for investors. ·         The rental market is experiencing increased vacancy rates due to seasonal factors. ·         Auction clearance rates indicate a potential recovery in the Melbourne housing market.     Chapters  02:16 Election Results and Housing Crisis Overview 05:04 Labor's Housing Policies: Good Intentions, Poor Outcomes 07:54 Immigration and Housing Demand: A Growing Concern 11:12 Supply-Side Solutions: Insufficient and Slow 13:59 The Two-Speed Housing Market: Implications for Buyers 16:51 Opportunities for Investors in a Changing Market 20:13 Introduction to Real Estate Investment 20:14 Understanding Market Trends and Analysis 23:00 Inflation, Housing Market and Oil Prices 28:20 Rental Markets Situation 32:20 Auction Results Analysis   Links and Resources: Michael Yardney Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at www.PodcastBonus.com.au Also, please subscribe to my other podcast, Demographics Decoded with Simon Kuestenmacher – just look for Demographics Decoded wherever you are listening to this podcast and subscribe so each week we can unveil the trends shaping your future.

The RBA's new Monetary Policy Board meets later this month to consider the case for a second rate cut in the current easing cycle. What will it make of Australia's election campaign, this week's inflation numbers, the recent rash of international forecast downgrades from the IMF, WTO and World Bank, and ongoing global trade policy uncertainty? Still high on Easter chocolate, the pod offers its unsolicited advice. 

Australia's inflation rate is now firmly in the RBA's target band, but groceries, rent, and daily essentials still feel painfully expensive. Why is there a disconnect between the data and what we think is our lived reality? The Opposition leader, Peter Dutton, says he wants to cut Australia's permanent migration program. Is such a cut possible? And could it stem the total net overseas migration?And, costings. We spend $9 million a year on the Parliamentary Budget Office. Shouldn't we get its insights before we vote? Guests:Megan Flamer - Innovation specialist with Monash Business School Brendan Coates - Housing and Economic Security Program director at the Grattan InstituteGet in touch: We read all of your emails, and appreciate each one.

In this episode of Talk Property To Me, hosts Brad East and Aaron Downie break down the potential impact of Australia's upcoming federal election on the housing market, lending conditions, and investor confidence. From proposed tax reforms to housing affordability policies, they explore what a change in government—or a mandate to stay the course—could mean for everyday buyers, sellers, and property investors.

The RBA meets next month, with the decision due on 20 May. Regardless of what happens with the election and despite this week's slightly hotter-than-expected inflation print, a rate cut is "locked in" according to Westpac. Many in the market agree.  And whilst some believe it is the last cut we could get for a while, the market is pricing in up to three more cuts for the rest of the year.  Should these cuts materialise, there is a cohort of capital-intensive and consumer-facing businesses that could benefit from lower debt costs and increased disposable income. Of course, this outlook needs to be balanced against the reason for the cuts in the first place - a slowing economy.  To help us understand where that balance lies, guest host Matthew Kidman of Centennial Asset Management was joined by Matthew Haupt from Wilson Asset Management and Tim Johnston from Tyndall Asset Management.  Together, they run the ruler over no less than five ASX companies that could benefit from lower rates. For good measure, they share a name that they believe will be a winner in a lower rate environment. Please note this episode was filmed on 23 April 2025.

Wall St closed mixed on Wednesday following the release of US GDP data for Q1 that indicated economic contraction of 0.3% QoQ which is well below the 2.4% expansion reported in Q4 and below economists' expectations of a 0.5% rise in GDP for the latest reading.

Real estate stocks led the gains on Wednesday while other rate sensitive sectors like Tech and consumer discretionary stocks posted notable gains.Australia's latest inflation reading for the March Quarter was released yesterday with monthly inflation rising 0.9% while the annual rate remained at 2.4%. Trimmed mean inflation fell to 2.8% in the quarter which is now back within the RBA's target 2-3% range.

Trump's tariff concerns remain in the background of investor concerns right now but are being overlooked ahead of the all-important local inflation reading out today and ahead of the RBA's anticipated rate cut to come in May. Yesterday we had further clarity out of the US that negotiation talks on tariffs between China and the US are progressing and Trump reduced the tariff he recently imposed on automotive sales.The recent uranium stock rally extended yesterday as the price of the commodity rose 0.6% to US$67/pound, but more of the gains can be explained by Boss Energy's (ASX:BOE) driving force after the uranium producer reported its first quarter of free cash flow generation and that output and costs had met or beat expectations.

With growth on the horizon, the downgrade to a hold is simply on the grounds of current valuation of the company being within the Bell Potter hold criteria.And Trading Central has identified a bullish signal on Perenti (ASX:PRN)following the formation of a pattern over a period of 40-days which is roughly the same amount of time the share price may rise from the close of $1.38 to the range of $1.58 to $1.62 according to standard principles of technical analysis.

Aussie shares defied expectations and finished the week on a high, with the ASX200 lifting despite sharp overnight losses on Wall Street. The unexpected strength came after weaker-than-expected March jobs data—just over 32,000 jobs added and a rise in the unemployment rate boosted hopes of a rate cut when the RBA meets on May 20. Energy and mining stocks led the gains, helped by a rebound in oil, gold, and iron ore prices, while BHP and Pilbara Minerals faced pressure from underwhelming quarterly results. With markets now closed for the Easter long weekend, all eyes turn to global earnings, including Netflix, and ongoing trade tensions that could stir things up before trading resumes Tuesday.

The Aussie share market started strong but lost steam by the close, ending slightly lower and breaking its winning streak—despite upbeat economic data from China. Energy, mining, and healthcare stocks dragged the market down, while major banks and gold stocks lifted. On the flip side, Mineral Resources tumbled after two board resignations, and Rio Tinto dropped on weak quarterly results. Investors are eyeing key U.S. economic data and an interest rate decision from Canada tonight, while tomorrow’s Australian jobs report will be crucial in shaping expectations for a potential RBA rate cut in May.

What role does property truly play in shaping Australia’s economic story? In today's episode, we sit down with Diana Mousina, Senior Economist at AMP, to unpack why property plays such a central role in Australia’s economic landscape. Diana brings a sharp, accessible take on the macro forces at play, both locally and globally, and helps us make sense of how the housing market ended up where it is today. We explore the persistent housing undersupply across the country, how population growth and household formation trends feed into demand, and why supply still hasn’t kept pace. Diana talks us through the long-term structural issues: from planning and regulation to developer incentives, and explains why there’s no single lever that can fix affordability on its own. We also touch on broader economic dynamics: what slower productivity growth means for Australia, how inflation is likely to behave in the coming years, and why the push for government intervention has fundamentally changed post-pandemic. If you’ve been trying to make sense of property prices, population pressures, or policy decisions and how they all connect, this conversation offers clarity and context. It’s a grounded look at what’s really driving the housing market and what might shape its future, so tune in and let's get started! Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Welcome 00:57 - Who is Diana Mousina? 01:34 - Why Diana’s economic content resonates 02:43 - Will the Trump administration really impact the Australian property market? 04:52 - What’s behind the housing supply crisis? 06:20 - The demand dilemma and oversupply myth 10:49 - What’s the economic fallout of Australia's housing problem? 14:24 - How instrumental is Victoria’s oversupply to their current state of affairs? 16:13 - When is it useful to consider Australia as one market versus dozens? 18:11 - Can we just cut migration to fix the housing problem? 21:09 - Why does Australia obsess over economic growth? Is it really that necessary? 27:03 - Australia’s long-term economic outlook 30:01 - Do you think recession is a real risk for Australia? 32:19 - What’s really happening with inflation? 37:05 - Has the post-pandemic economy outgrown old benchmarks like the RBA's inflation target? 39:12 - Will the upcoming election shift housing policy? 41:21 - Diana Mousina’s property dumbo About Our Guest: Diana Mousina is the Deputy Chief Economist at AMP, where she leads macroeconomic research and market analysis to guide investment strategy.
