Eliza Owen | Why hasn’t the property market crashed?

The Elephant In The Room Property Podcast | Inside Australian Real Estate

‘Forecasters’ have been holding their breath for the property market to crash for years, it was only during Covid that it looked inevitable. They said it’d be at the peak of Covid cases, the tightening of restrictions and of course the ‘September cliff’, but here we are and the property market is holding strong and banks are even turning away potential customers due to being stretched thin from an influx of new pre-approvals. The question is: where is our long promised crash?

We can’t get enough of the superb Eliza Owen, welcoming her back for the fourth time! Eliza is Core Logic’s Head of Residential Research and author of various Core Logic reports and articles, most notably their Pain or Gain report.
