我也是这样认为的, 利息持续高涨, 房价不会升的, 只会跌.
而且银行批出的贷款越来越难, 假设你的收入变化不大,你贷歀能力随个利息增长也越来越低. 而且如果你没有首期房子20%的资金, LMI(贷款保险)也越来越难批出来. 也就是说即使贷款公司贷给你, 保险公司也不一定给你上保.
楼下的文章就是俺原来想表达的, it cannot be put in a better way than below.
Introduction
Despite high levels of migration and a shortage of stock, our property market is more closely tied to problems in the US than you might think.
Property's downward spiral (From BusinessSpectator.com.au)
Author: Robert Gottliebsen
I was talking at a function about property values recently and those in attendance were quick to ask me how dwelling prices can fall when migrations levels remain very high. Separately, they also wanted to know if this was the beginning of a big shift to a society where younger people do not aspire to own their own home but instead follow a pattern of renting like they do in Europe.
Property values are only supported by what buyers are prepared to pay and in most cases, what buyers are prepared to pay is restricted by what the banks are prepared to lend. So, if you go to your bank and they say they will lend you $500k on a particular dwelling and you have $200k in cash then the odds are that you will spend up to $700k. But if the bank says they will only loan $400k because their criteria is tighter or because of higher interest rates, then you will only bid up to $600k. So banks play an enormous role in setting house prices.
They also set the price for developmental land. It is now very clear that in the light of tougher bank lending criteria, certain developers paid far too much for land and big haircuts may be required. Overall housing demand is also part of the price equation for land and buildings. What we have seen in western Sydney and the outer areas in most capitals, is that people simply have not been able to get enough money from the banks to buy at the old prices.
Prospective buyers of property are often contractors whose incomes are now lower, or not as secure as they once were, which has prompted the banks to cut back the amount they are prepared to lend even further and therefore contributes to the declining value of property once more. In the US the withdrawal of lending has been catastrophic for house prices, but in Australia we have been insulated by the relative shortage of dwellings and the better overall position enjoyed by our banks.
But given the importance of banks in setting house prices, the housing shortage won’t stop the fall. Of course banks have to be very careful when they reduce the values of properties by altering their lending criteria. As the banks drive down the values of houses they wipe out equity in a home which can lead to defaults if incomes are hit at the same time.
Will renting play a more significant role in Australia's future? A lot of young people are looking at the problems being faced by those who went into deep debt and are asking whether it's worth setting themselves up for the same painful experience. Rents are rising which shows that there is both a strong demand for rental property and that supply is constrained. The great advantage of renting is that it allows greater flexibility of the labour force.
But home ownership is deeply ingrained into Australian society and it has provided many of us with enormous wealth. It will be hard to break from tradition. Most migrants coming to Australia will also aspire to own their own homes. We are going to see a large number of houses come onto the market as a result of mortgage difficulties and these dwellings will be priced substantially below peak levels. That will make it easier for people to buy and will also attract a lot of investors who will see higher yields. Unlike private home ownership, they can deduct their interest for tax.
That increase in rental stock will foster a change in demand but if our society moves to a nation made up predominately of renters then that will have an even bigger impact on the way we live. |
