    The mantra was housing markets in Syd and Melb would only fall once interest rates were lifted.

    But its already happening… why?

    I think market sentiment is changing and now fear is setting in.
    … and affordability, this old chestnut

    Why are property prices falling sooner than expected?

    Perth and Darwin are the ones which will party along till 2025-2026. Possibly also Townsville/Cairns/North Qld

    All markets base pricing off future value. Right now markets are thinking that properties in future won’t be priced as high as they were last year. Hence the lower prices

    if drama in China follows through whole country could be in for a ride, it is down 5% today.. US equities down big time, ASX is next, then they want to raise rates?.. could be some big punches coming for those riding the wave

    Their policies are largely the same as liberal, they just don’t have a smug buffoon for a leader. Lower prices would be good for the younger generations though, it’s all a bit depressing seeing *******es 2hr from the city selling for $2m

    Drops are hardly noticeable in the markets I’m looking at/in. Prices may not be going for new highs each week however there is nothing to really get excited about at the moment in my opinion.

    This is something I'm seeing more and more.

    Corelogic reporting minuscule overall drops in Sydney so far. Markets seem to be softening from their absolute peaks but softening to a level which is still nothing to smile about for buyers.

    In 3 to 6 months sure buyers may have a small smile. But no smiling from ear to ear, yet.

    Interesting that it’s the top quartile that’s going down while the bottom quartile has still gone up

    'Back to KFC' for a lot of real estate agents

    When I read that line on the article, I couldn't help but LOL.

    Yes but lots of ongoing negative media reports changes mindset and market sentiment goes from positive to negative. This is what we are now seeing.

    Reverse of hyped media reports where prices are skyrocketing causing a stampede…. FOMO

    Yes
    Be prepared for many more negative articles on property. Wait for the interest rate rise, this will be whopper
