My latest post looks at why selling a property off-market can make perfectly good sense and not end up seeing you leave money on the table when selling. cameronkusher.substack.com/p/why-it-mak...

It’s pretty easy to see why Aussies are fed up. The economy is weak, inflation is high and wage growth hasn’t been sufficient enough, housing costs are up, infrastructure is lagging and the government can’t coherently explain the benefits of migration. www.afr.com/politics/fed...
If you want to know why property prices have continued to rise over the past year, more than 1 in 4 sales over the past year were cash sales. www.afr.com/property/res...
If you are from Brisbane it was not long after breakfast and if you are operating on WA you are getting served lunch for breakfast.
I caught a 9am flight from Brisbane to Perth today instead of waiting for 3 hrs and serving you lunch at 12 Brisbane time, they serve you lunch ASAP after the flight takes off around 9.45 Brisbane time with no additional service. It was very odd.

About to embark on the getting home to Brisbane from Melbourne by train and car because I can’t fly challenge. This will be a fun few days. I suspect I come out of this saying we desperately need HSR in Australia.
I assume some students stay less than a year but the data is volatile month-to-month. Either way that is a lot of people that need somewhere to live.
How terrible do you feel atm? I remember doing it once felt terrible for a week and then the best I’d ever felt thereafter. Dropped 7kg in 2 weeks (I should do it again).
Interesting data from the ABS today, in 2021 38% of migrants that had been in Australia less than 5 years owned a home with the figure jumping to 71% for those in Australia more than 10 yrs (69% home ownership rate for the total population of the country).
My first post. Universities should have to build housing on site (and a lot of it) to help accommodate the overseas students they bring in to the country.
