ABC News Daily · Alan Kohler on why house prices will keep falling · 11 Aug 2026 podcast

But there's been a big drop in investment mortgage applications that was revealed yesterday by Westpac. voice-verified

So that's quite a big fall. voice-verified

So investors are running away. voice-verified

And thirdly, I mean and and more fundamentally, housing was unaffordable. voice-verified

I mean, housing's too expensive in Australia. voice-verified

And if something's too expensive, the price comes down because people can't afford it. voice-verified

I mean that's kind of fundamentally basically what's happening. voice-verified

On investors, that's right. voice-verified

So we'll see what that means in terms of prices, but it's clearly having an impact and um is kind of reducing voice-verified

Some demand? voice-verified

But at the same time also increasing supply because, you know, a lot of investors are putting their house on the market. voice-verified

But uh the change is a grandfather, so that's not going to be that much of an impact. voice-verified

But I think there is going to be an impact of the budget and we're already seeing it. voice-verified

Well, yeah, all the prices are coming down obviously, so voice-verified

North curl, curl first home buyers are doing they're looking good. voice-verified

The economy is slowing down, I think inflation is not that much higher than it needs to be and I think it will I think inflation's on the way down. voice-verified

There's this divided opinion among economists and forecasters, you know. voice-verified

Uh some say there won't be any rate hikes, some say there will be one more. voice-verified

I mean I've better but it's not it's not that much of a conviction. voice-verified
