Is the Australian housing market in a bubble? John S. Croucher

In 2021, Australia's pandemic property market experienced the fastest annual pace of growth since 1989. This book is a rigorous study of prior housing bubbles in Australia, incorporating analysis of the pre-pandemic housing boom starting in 2012. It includes a discussion of how best to balance monetary policy, fiscal policy and macroeconomic policy to optimize the steady and stable growth of the Australian housing market, and reconsiders policy implications including related and complementary policies such as affordability schemes and construction incentives as well as the involvement of industries associated with the property.
