Ep. 61: Do Rate Cuts Really Push Property Prices Up

In episode 61, Damien and Jeremy examine whether interest rate cuts really drive property prices higher, or whether that idea is being overstated. Looking at decades of historical data, they compare the RBA cash rate with national capital growth and find that while lower rates can support borrowing capacity, confidence and buyer demand, the relationship with property growth is relatively weak and inconsistent.

The discussion also explores why rate cuts cannot fix poor suburb selection, oversupply or weak local demand, and why investors should pay closer attention to fundamentals such as stock on market, days on market, vacancy rates, affordability and supply versus demand.

The takeaway is simple. Rate cuts can help, but they do not override poor fundamentals. Strong investors follow the data rather than relying on the RBA to create growth.
