Interest Rate Hikes Are Back — Did the RBA Just End the Property Boom Forever?

DPU Ep 130: Australian inflation jumped to 3.8% in December, and markets are now pricing a 0.25% rate hike for February 2026. Most commentary assumes higher rates automatically mean lower property prices, but that assumption ignores how the Australian housing market actually behaves when supply is broken and demand remains strong. In this video, I unpack the December inflation report, separating headline CPI from the trimmed mean measure that the RBA prioritises, and explain why housing costs and electricity price increases created most of the upward pressure. Rate hike expectations have shifted dramatically, with most major banks forecasting one increase in 2026 followed by a long pause. First home buyers and property investors need to understand how premium properties typically slow first when borrowing costs rise, while affordable housing often stays resilient due to deeper buyer pools, first home buyer schemes, and limited alternatives for those trying to enter the market. 🏘️ Subscribe now to become a property insider and stay ahead of these market-changing trends.
