THE PROPERTY NERDS: Trade tensions fail to shake housing
Description
In this episode of The Property Nerds, co-hosts Arjun Paliwal and Adrian Lee from InvestorKit, and Jack Fouracre from Fouracre Financial, are joined by Domain’s senior economist, Dr Joel Bowman, to examine the resilience of Australia’s housing market amid global uncertainty.
The trio discusses how global trade tensions and domestic policy shifts are shaping consumer sentiment and influencing property values.
First home buyers are entering the market in greater numbers, thanks to new incentives, boosting demand and prices.
While Perth and Adelaide stand out for their rapid growth driven by affordability and strong local economies, Melbourne’s unit sector and Darwin’s volatility pose challenges despite solid rental yields and low vacancies.
The hosts explore the growing appeal of commercial property for higher yields and cash flow, while stressing the benefits of using trusts, companies, or self-managed super funds to boost efficiency and borrowing capacity.
