What was the hot item in it that surprised economists?
voice-verified
It's the house prices full, James.
voice-verified
It's a big number.
voice-verified
I mean, we got August house price data this week, heaps of focus on it, obviously.
voice-verified
Prices went backwards for the fifth straight month.
voice-verified
The first is a result of a couple of interest rate rises.
voice-verified
The next four months has been a combination of the rate rises and the budget, which has really knocked around sentiment.
voice-verified
Eighteen point six percent.
voice-verified
It's a bit of a furfiver number, but it's so big that it's knocking around inside people's heads.
voice-verified
We've come across it time and time again this week.
voice-verified
I mean, to get to eighteen point six percent, you gotta take the worst of the decreases in the past quarter and that's in Sydney house prices.
voice-verified
They went backwards minus four point seven percent.
voice-verified
Annualise that number you get minus eighteen point six percent.
voice-verified

voice-verified
It had run the hardest over generations.
voice-verified
Yeah.
voice-verified
Yeah,
voice-verified
Yeah, it's a fake number, but it's still big, James.
voice-verified
And I'd be surprised if the house prices fall eighteen point six percent in Sydney, let alone nationally.
voice-verified
Yes, it's been quite a sell-off.
