Watch out for that flying pig!
Haven’t we got a Treasurer somewhere relying on growth to be 4% p.a. to pay for his $65,000,000,000.00 in corporate tax cuts?

‘Orderly unwinding’ in housing market likely: S&P – Mortgage Business
Sharad Jain, director of financial services ratings at S&P Global Ratings, has predicted an “orderly unwinding” in the property market as a result of regulatory actions, coupled with Australia’s track record in responding to “property crises”. He was speaking at an S&P property forecast event on 3 August when he made the comments. Mr Jain said that there are a “number of factors that will continue the property crisis in Australia, and a lot of those are factors that are similar to what we have seen that have contributed to the price boom”.

The Biggest Real Estate Bubble Of All Time Just Did The Impossible | Zero Hedge
One month ago, we said that “the Vancouver housing bubble Is back, and it’s (almost) bigger than ever.”
Fast forward to today, when we can scrap the almost part: according to the latest data from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver, nearly a year after British Columbia implemented a 15% property tax targeting foreign buyers, in May the biggest real estate bubble of all time did the impossible and in a testament to the persistence of Chinese oligarchs, criminals, money launderers and pretty much anyone who is desperate to park their cash as far away as possible, after a modest drop following last summer’s tax the Vancouver housing bubble has bounced right back to new all time highs, as prices of detached, attached houses and apartment all surged to new record highs.
In other words, all that the 15% surtax achieved was to drastically slow down the rate of transactions (or perhaps home flipping). Meanwhile, as sellers held out to find more aggressive buyers, they were in luck as the new wave of buyers has emerged, and undeterred by the 15% premium, they have been slowly but surely lifting all available offers.

Michael should know his newsletter, Property Update, has been going since 2001 and has nearly 100,000 subscribers interested in property investing of all sorts.
