  <title>Property Prices Are FALLING — Is This The Crash That Some Predicted? | Dr.Andrew Wilson</title>
  <description> House prices are falling across most of our capital cities right now, and the rate of decline is actually picking up speed.  &amp;amp;nbsp;  Now, I know what the headlines are going to say about that. They'll call it a crash, a correction, a crisis — and frankly, most of those headlines will be written to scare you, not inform you.  &amp;amp;nbsp;  So what's really going on? Is this the beginning of something serious, or is this just a market catching its breath after three extraordinary years of growth?  &amp;amp;nbsp;  Today, I cut through the noise as I am joined by Dr. Andrew Wilson Chief Economist at My Housing Market, who’s been tracking Australian property cycles for decades. He's the person I turn to every month for the numbers that actually matter.  &amp;amp;nbsp; In this episode we discuss the latest shifts in Australia’s property markets and what they mean for investors. &amp;amp;nbsp; We unpack why capital city house prices are easing after a strong run, with higher rates, affordability pressure, and weaker confidence all playing a role. &amp;amp;nbsp; We look at how Australia’s property market remains highly fragmented, with some cities softening faster while others are still holding up well. &amp;amp;nbsp; And we discuss why tight rental vacancies continue to push rents higher, even as buyers and sellers become more cautious. &amp;amp;nbsp;  We also explore why units are outperforming houses in many locations, and why that matters for investors navigating a winter market.  &amp;amp;nbsp;  Takeaways&amp;amp;nbsp;  &amp;amp;nbsp; • Australia’s market is pausing after strong gains, not entering a collapse. • Higher interest rates have reduced borrowing power and cooled buyer demand. • Affordability pressures are pushing many buyers out of expensive house markets. • Melbourne’s top end has weakened, dragging broader median results lower. • Perth still shows strong annual growth despite a recent easing in momentum. • Units are outperforming houses in many capital city markets right now. • Low vacancy rates are continuing to put upward pressure on rents. • Chronic housing undersupply is the key long-term support for prices. • Strong migration is adding fresh demand to already tight housing markets. • Confidence usually returns before the spring selling season begins. &amp;amp;nbsp; Links and Resources: &amp;amp;nbsp; Answer this week’s trivia question here -  https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/   ·&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time.   ·&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What’s ahead for property for 2026 and beyond.  &amp;amp;nbsp; Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at:  www.PodcastBonus.com.au   &amp;amp;nbsp; Get the team at  Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property plan.
