A deep dive into Australia's property market
Hosted by the Productivity Commission
The last five years have resulted in a new property market dynamic, the traditionally tighter markets have slowed down, and markets that were typically avoided by investors are taking the cake and eating it too. These new dynamics have meant varying consequences for all property investors, government stakeholders, and even forecasting enthusiasts.
In a market that holds over $10 trillion, being able to forecast what it will do is particularly important, not just with respect to investment but also planning and revenue.
Dr Sarwar will be using the presentation to discuss various aspects of the Australian property market including reliably forecasting prices (using a BSTS model benchmarked against RNNs and ARIMA models), how homebuilder affected pricing and allocation (and whether first home buyer grants and policies have the power to distort the market), and the first home buyer journey.
