There has been much talk in recent times about whether the Australian property market is currently in the midst of a bubble. There are those who strongly believe this to be true, whilst there are others who point out that the rising prices is merely a reflection of current factors, including supply shortages and increasing demand from migration. Many have been quick to make comparisons between the Australian market and that of the U.S. in the lead up to its crash, and whilst this is useful it must be done with caution as no two markets are alike.

The Earthquake and Tsunami that hit Japan on March 11 this year was almost unprecedented in its size and devastation. At magnitude 9 it was the equal fourth largest in recorded history and the Tsunami that followed literally swept away whole towns, with the world then watching both the humanitarian and nuclear crisis with a sense of sadness and concern. After the quake it didn’t take long for the finance industry to begin wondering how this might affect the country and Daniel Minihan wrote a post a few days after the event noting that there were people in both camps on how the economy would cope.

The Christmas and New Year period has proved to be an interesting one for investment markets. In the lead up to Christmas, and in the first few weeks of the New Year, markets bounded ahead, perhaps riding the Christmas cheer and the fact that it appeared that the difficult previous few years were finally behind us, and we had a new decade to look forward to. This quickly changed however, with the realisation that although we are in a new decade the problems that concluded the last one will need to be paid for and so issues of debt started to become a focus of many in the market.

The June quarter could be viewed as the time when things started to turn around for the world economy, or at least began to seem ‘less worse’. The U.S. housing market, the sector that first highlighted the problems of loose credit control, which has swept world economies, began showing signs that it may be bottoming. In the 12 months to May U.S. houses prices were down 3.6 per cent but this is a much improved from the 24.4 per cent decline in the 12 months to February.
