Please click the link below to view Shane Oliver's views on the Australian housing market.
Key points are
- Australian housing has seen a normal response to lower interest rates. House prices are up and a building boom is on the way. This will help the economy rebalance.
- The home buyer market is a long way from the bubble conditions of ten years ago, but the risk of a bubble is rising.
- The housing recovery tells us the next move in interest rates is up, probably from around September / October.
