That is why the RBA needs to sow a stitch in time and
move quickly. But somehow we don’t think they will
move quickly. Rather, we think the course of events will
be that they wait and see until there is more clarity in the
data. They may also wait until credit growth rises above
10% once more. On our reckoning, that will not happen
until mid-2017. Then it will take another three months
to turn the wheels of bureaucracy. So, it could be as late
as third quarter 2017 before the brakes are applied.
Now the RBA may try to pre-empt the numbers;
however, they don’t have a track record in doing this.
They prefer to see hard evidence before taking action, as
was the case in 2015 when investor credit growth was
running above 10% from October 14 onwards, thereby
taking authorities eight months to respond.

Is the Housing Market Overvalued?

The national housing market overall is overvalued. Interest Payments to Incomes Ratios (%)
Whether one considers rental yields, housing prices to
wages, housing prices to nominal GDP – they all paint
the same picture of a deeply overvalued market. Our
most favoured measurement – housing prices to
nominal GDP reveal the market is at its second most
overvalued point on record.

Housing credit serviceability is everything. Basically, the


better the servicing (lower the line chart) the more
disposable income we have to spend after paying off
interest. And as can be seen right now, serviceability is
running at just above longer term averages. It is the

2018, may well be another matter.
As the chart clearly illustrates, Australia, and the rest of
the world for that matter, has been on a debt binge for
the past 30 years, and most of that credit demand has
gone into housing. What that has meant in our opinion,
is that the economy can no longer withstand a high
interest rate environment and importantly, there has
been less disposable income which has been creating
deflationary pressures in many first world countries.
That is why this next chart is critical in determining the
next possible housing downturn.

(correctly) a decline in the market and we believe the
December quarter is likely to be a strong result. The rate
cut made in April 2016 was just one month out from our
prediction of a rate cut by the end of the first quarter.
The rate cut did assist in growth with the ABS recording a
2% rise for the June quarter, as opposed to the previous
two quarters, which were negative.

One observation is that the majority of the forecasts are


coming in towards the lower end of our range. That
may well be happening because the dollar has been
stubbornly higher than we assumed (it has stayed in the
70s rather than the 60s as we assumed in our models).
Brisbane has also once again managed to underperform
compared to our expectations. The combination of a
weaker local economy, and an overhang of stock, is
keeping a lid on accelerated price growth.

Is There Looming Oversupply in Our Cities?

There has been much media discussion and even


expectation from The RBA about a looming apartment
oversupply. This year in our report, we have decided to
probe into the question and attempt to answer by also
considering the other side of the ledger – that being
what should we be expecting for future supply of
houses in 2017 and 2018. By doing so, we feel we are
adding to the total housing supply picture instead of just
one part. But first, let’s run the numbers on apartments.

meaning that there may be an oversupply to Greater

Oversupply
With all the apartment and housing completions due
over the next two years, the topic of conversation tends
to swing rather quickly towards the issue of an
oversupply. Whilst nobody can confidently predict an
oversupply, we can look at past trends in terms of
population growth and make educated assumptions
based on macroeconomic factors coupled with forecast
dwelling completions in order to best provide a possible
scenario or plausible outcome.

Conclusion
While it is totally understandable to be concerned about
concentrated areas of oversupply, there has not been
any real evidence that such oversupply creates a
contagion affect beyond the immediate areas affected.
In 2003–2006, the Melbourne CBD, Docklands and
Southbank were all experiencing significant oversupply
with vacancy rates in excess of 8% and valuation
declines on apartments in excess of 20%. Yet prices in
greater Melbourne recorded price increases of 6%.

The Gold Coast housing market experienced a crash in


dwelling prices of approximately 25% between 2010

CHRISTOPHER’S HOUSING BOOM and BUST REPORT 2017


and 2012. In truth, most of that decline occurred on the
coastal strip itself. While the greater national housing
market did experience a moderate correction, that had
nothing to do with the apartment oversupply on the
Coast, rather the rise in interest rates in 2010 and the
repeal of the First Home Owners boost that was
introduced in late 2008.

As we have reported, the Perth housing market is in a


slump. Darwin has experienced the same thing. Yet
cities on the east coast have experienced boom like
conditions over the past four years.

So, it is unlikely a contagion effect will happen to other


cities and other property types unless the reason for the
slump on that particular property type for that particular
location is also a factor elsewhere.

In saying all this, our conclusion is that there is a


material oversupply event occurring in Brisbane’s CBD
and a looming one for the Melbourne CBD. Potential
buyers in these areas should wait until post 2018 where
we believe there maybe potential buying opportunities

Of course, they have been that way for a very long time
and there was sound logic as to why the local housing
market has been cheap – the economy was a major

behind. You may say, how can it keep going up, and
that is a very good question. It boils down to:

–– strong population growth (the city is expanding by


85,000 people a year);

–– a prosperous city (Sydney has the lowest


unemployment rate at 4.9%); and

–– low interest rates (an average home loan rate of


4.5% is keeping servicing levels low).

triggered a downturn, and I suspect it will be the same
reason again, however, this time around it won’t take
much of a rise to do the job.
