Yeah, I don't know if I've got too much else there.
I don't know if you touched on the house price growth there, that they did actually have some numbers in there showing, yeah, they expected a bit more weakness to come through in the first three or six months this year, including some declining prices, which would continue what we saw in the first month of this year, albeit very gradually.
That might be a little bit pessimistic in my mind, but hard to argue with that.
But a bit of growth coming back in the second half of the year.
I think that's what we keep talking about, right, is that
We're going to likely see some growth.
There's reason to think there's some value growth to come through for the property market.
But with every month, with every bit of data, we sort of tend to push that expectation a bit further down the track, a bit further down the year.
So again, it probably lines up with what we've been talking about, albeit we haven't had an official forecast there.
And the other thing, as I've been doing, is the uncertain watch.
The number of times the word uncertain or uncertainty pops up and it has dropped once again is
I had it 32 in November, down at 25 now.
So again, I suppose that's got to be a good thing to market.
The certainty is removing.
That's despite lots of things going on globally, which do mean we're not sure exactly which way things might go, whether it's inflation, labour market, the economy.
There's still a bit of uncertainty about that, but it's certainly improved on where it was a few years ago, or even last year.
In May, there was sort of 80 references to all the uncertainty out there globally.
So I think that certainty is also helping with that confidence and where things are going.
Yes, there's some concern with some inflation being a bit higher than we expected.
The selected price indices this week showed that food was continuing to be at the higher end and we don't want that.
