SYD: Don't believe crazy boom theory


The scary bust has been replaced by a crazy boom. 


WHAT'S DRIVING ECONOMY?
  • Low interest rates 
  • Rising confidence
  • A surge in investor activity are the current drivers of the Sydney housing market together with a solid performance by the local economy - is about as close to a boom next year

WHAT'S SLOWING ECONOMY?
  • Sydney’s unemployment rate is now rising towards 6 per cent and predicted to continue to rise.
  • Wages and profit growth remain subdued in a low inflation economy with a stagnant stockmarket continuing to constrain growth in the prestige market.
  • The prospect of sharply falling rental yields will also prove a disincentive for new investors.
  • Prices growth in Sydney is likely to peak over the next six months, with continued solid growth dependent on a sustained revival in the economy and unemployment falling to or below 5 per cent. 

"There are a lot of reasons that prices will be kept in check" says Australian Property Monitor’s Andrew Wilson.
