Rob is joined once more by Marc Champ of Wharf Financial to discuss the current state of the property market. They touch on topics such as interest rates, inflation, and the potential for a slowdown in the market. Marc shares insights from his conversations with industry professionals and highlights the opportunities that can arise during a slowdown. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• There is a general perception that interest rates may have peaked and could potentially come down, but recent bond sales could lead to a rise in inflation and interest rates.
• Despite a slowdown in the market, there are still opportunities for experienced and proactive investors.
• The banking system is more well-capitalized and better equipped to handle potential crises compared to the 2008 financial crisis.
• Commercial properties that lack energy efficiency are experiencing significant drops in value, creating opportunities for investors to purchase below market value and improve the properties.

BEST MOMENTS

"There's been bond sales recently, a lot of bond sales, and that has potentially, it will lead to a rise in inflation again." 

"I think people are thinking rates are going to go down. But I think they may just go up one more notch and then stabilise and come back down." 

"There is definitely a slowdown. But as I've always said, when there's a slowdown, there's opportunities for people." 

"The actual debt is a lot more manageable because lenders have allowed 35 years terms they're allowing some interest only mortgages and this is allow people to manage their finances better."
