Welcome to Season 6, Episode 7 of the Expat Mortgage Podcast, where we discuss the latest issues of securing and maintaining an Australian mortgage whilst you are an Australian expat.
In this episode, James Ridley and Jeremy Harper unpack the latest Totality (formerly CoreLogic) housing data, offering valuable insights into what’s really happening across Australia’s property markets. They explore the national dwelling growth figures, the true size of Australia’s $11.8 trillion residential market, and how it continues to dominate household wealth—well ahead of superannuation, listed stocks, and commercial real estate.
The duo also break down capital city performance, with Perth and Brisbane leading the charge, while Adelaide’s affordability metrics push it into second place among Australia’s most expensive cities relative to income. They also discuss the RBA’s upcoming Melbourne Cup Day decision, rising unemployment rates, and what these indicators could mean for potential rate cuts or holds heading into the new year.
Finally, James and Jeremy examine the ongoing housing crisis, falling dwelling approval rates, and how AI and government reform could play a vital role in tackling Australia’s growing supply bottleneck.
