July 28, 2026 · 30 min

Show notes

Asked in today's episode if the house price downturn is 'a blip or a bust?', one of the market's top residential experts says 'Way more than a blip, as for a bust... It's too early to say.'

Tim Lawless, research director at Cotality Australia, joins Associate Editor James Kirby in this episode.

In today's show we cover:

  • How far will house prices fall
  • Which city looks most vulnerable
  • Can rents keep rising as prices drop
  • The different outlook for homes and apartments
