2023 - Boom or Bust? Economist Pete Wargent and Catherine Cashmore discuss...

18/02/2023

In this episode Catherine Cashmore and veteran economist Pete Wargent discuss what's ahead for 2023.

Through the course of the conversation, we cover:

  • Pete’s recent travels through the UK and Europe — what’s happening to the housing markets overseas, and how was the weather?
  • The Australian housing market — how the perspective differs in the media compared to what we’re experiencing on the ground.
  • Could prices finally see some uplift in the year ahead? Have we passed the bottom of the market?
  • Pete’s take on RBA governor Philip Lowe’s grilling before the Senate — further rate hikes ahead? Or are we reaching the end of the rate hiking cycle
  • How migration is going to affect markets across Australia
  • The difference between markets in the Eastern states compared to other regions of Australia.
  • Pete shares his advice on investment in the current climate.
  • We also chat about Pete’s worldly travels and how it’s changed his life view.

All this, and much more…

What our Clients are Saying

Catherine worked tirelessly in finding me a great property at a good price. She did things that I wouldn't have done (hours and hours of legwork) and more importantly, couldn't have done (organising the purchase before anyone else had even put in an offer). When I was ready to give up, Catherine kept working. I'm certain that I never would have been able to buy the same property within 10k of what we eventually settled at.... David
The expertise you bring are excellent and helped us understand the process and what to do and what not to do. You discussed at the beginning that by using you it will save us money and in our instance and the current environment of Melbourne’s market I believe you saved us $100,000 or enabled us to get into a suburb which going to auction would have gone way over our limit. You worked tirelessly to help us purchase a home.... Karen
“You impressed us from the start, especially compared with the other buyers agencies we approached…” - Raj
