Gerard Minack's Opinions

Australia Will Australia enter a recession before 2010? Agree People miss the point that we're hugely wrapped up in the global credit crunch because we are one of the world's largest issuers of capital, with the most over-priced finance sector in the developed world and a rickety housing sector. People think we're Teflon coated because of links to China. I don't think that's true. Edit Pitches 10 Mar 2008    Source

Real Estate Is there a housing bubble in Australia? Agree There's a word for a financial asset that's over-valued by 40%, so let's use it: housing is a bubble. Buying an asset that's over-priced never ends well... In my view, Australian house prices are expensive on every value metric. They are expensive relative to history, and expensive relative to houses in comparable countries. Edit Pitches 17 Aug 2010    Source Is reduced affordability causing a housing bubble in Australia? Agree Australian houses are much more overvalued than US houses; indeed on some measures, our houses are arguably the most expensive in the world. They're also less affordable.
