Show Notes
In this "Big Picture" episode of my podcast I get together with leading financial commentator Pete Wargent, who brings decades of perspective to his views, and we discuss the clues in the news as to what's ahead for our economy and the property markets.
Today we discuss the amended outlook for interest rates and what this means for our housing markets, an update on what APRA had to say about when they plan to loosen their lending buffers, what America's new president Donald Trump may mean for Australia, the Help to Buy Scheme, and Australia's ongoing Per Capita Recession.
I hope by the end of today's show you'll more clarity about what all this means for our economy and housing markets in 2025.
