Ever wondered how interest rates can make or break the Australian property market? Join us as we sit down with Tim Lawless from CoreLogic, a leading expert in property data, to uncover the intricate dynamics at play. Together, we tackle the big question: could we see interest rate cuts as soon as November? Reflecting on the astronomical 18% rates of the 80s, we discuss their historical impact on property values and the economy. We also dive into why mere stability in interest rates might not suffice to jumpstart housing market activity without actual reductions.

In this episode, we analyze the Reserve Bank of Australia's decision to keep the cash rate steady at 4.35 percent amid falling core inflation and a cooling labor market.

Through expert insights and personal stories, we examine the uncertain potential of future rate cuts to rejuvenate the housing market amidst ongoing economic pressures. Don't miss this nuanced discussion on the cyclical nature of interest rates and their profound effects on market confidence and affordability.
