The headlines are full of talk about a coming Australian property crash. In this episode of the Positive Property Show, George Markoski and co-host Adam Albright go through the data honestly and methodically to answer the question most investors are quietly asking. New Zealand's three-decade housing boom has ended. Canada's home prices have fallen 17% from their February 2022 peak. George walks through exactly what caused both of those corrections, and then holds those conditions up against Australia's current fundamentals to show where the comparison holds and, more importantly, where it breaks down entirely. In this episode: Why New Zealand and Canada's property corrections came down to one root cause: the cutoff of immigration, which reduced demand and shifted the supply dynamic almost overnight. Why Australia's position is structurally different, with record immigration levels, a housing deficit of 200,000 to 300,000 homes and growing, strong employment, and 66% of Australians still expecting prices to rise. A full walkthrough of the eight key drivers of housing growth, and how Australia ticks every single box right now. Why Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth are outperforming Sydney and Melbourne, and the population data that explains it entirely. What another RBA rate hike would mean in dollar terms for the average mortgage holder, and why George believes the fundamentals make it difficult to slow this market down. Why investors are rushing to buy ahead of potential CGT and negative gearing changes, and what the 5.5% jump in investor mortgage activity signals about where the market is heading. Thirty years of Australian property price data showing that corrections are historically small, short, and consistently followed by new highs. The GFC correction was 7.5%. The market recovered and surpassed previous levels within a short period. George's honest answer on whether a crash is coming, and why the long-term case for buying in the top 100 suburbs and holding remains as strong as it has ever been.
