Experts have suggested that recent growth in prices could mark the peak of the pandemic bounceback for the housing market.
In a recent interview with Smart Property Investment, My Housing Market’s Dr Andrew Wilson suggested that Australia’s housing market is on track to slow by the end of the year.
Highlighting the link between price growth and increased investor activity in the Australian property market, Dr Wilson noted that the latter is still lagging behind its previous peak.
“Average investor market activity is around about 33 per cent of all lending. It’s now pushing up into the mid 20s, but it’s still well behind where it is traditionally, and particularly where it is in strong market price outbreaks as we have at the moment,” Dr Wilson said.
