CHRISTOPHER’S HOUSING BOOM AND BUST REPORT
Author/s
Louis Christopher, Managing Director of SQM Research
Abstract
Key features of the report include:
- Louis Christopher’s personal take on the markets 2022 special regions report with over 70 townships and regions covered Special Brisbane Olympic games Housing/Infrastructure preview
Capital city forecasts - Main drivers of demand and supply at present and going forward
- All leading indicators such as stock on market, vacancy rates etc
- Nearly every city and regional postcode covered re: property stats plus rating outlook
SQM Research’s base case forecast is for property prices to rapidly slow from the current annual 20%-plus growth rates.
The research house expects a slower rate of price rises over the first quarter of the year, followed by price falls as early as mid-2022.
The price falls will be led by Sydney and Melbourne houses, for which SQM Research is currently recording significant overvaluation.
These cities are the most sensitive to even minor intervention by the banking regulator, the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority (APRA) in home lending.
