In this week's Financial Services Online podcast, Paige Estritori discusses rising property prices in Melbourne, marking it as the most affordable capital city in Australia with an 8.2% growth over the past five years and strongest growth in dwelling values in over a year. This affordability, coupled with a desirable lifestyle and thriving amenities, attracts buyers, notably from Sydney. On the other hand, the Australian unemployment rate remains steady at 4.1% despite significant job losses, leading to suggestions of a potential rate cut by the Reserve Bank of Australia to boost economy. These important finance updates are part of the weekly news covered in this podcast.n
