State Treasurer Tim Pallas and the Victorian Treasury believe the state economy will benefit from globally low interest rates and a tightness in the jobs market springst

The Victorian economy will shrug off an expected 13 per cent drop in house prices, Treasurer Tim Pallas has predicted, expanding strongly off the back of public sector spending and a never-ending population boom.

Mr Pallas said the Victorian government was spending more than what the recently re-elected Morrison federal government planned to invest in infrastructure over the next decade across the entire nation."There are cranes in the sky, engineering graduates and apprentices on the ground and massive machines digging deep into the earth."Credit:Despite the drop in house prices, which has led to a $5.

A tighter jobs market is also expected to feed into stronger wages which are now forecast to grow by a nation-best 3 per cent over the coming 12 months. They are then expected to grow even faster in 2020-21 at 3.25 per cent. The only downgrade by Treasury to its key economic forecasts was a minor slice to expected population which is tipped to grow by 2 per cent. At 2 per cent, Victoria's population would still be the fastest growing state in the country and well above its long term average of 1.3 per cent.

There are 80,000 reasons why Australia's property market will struggle to bounce backAustralia's ailing housing market got a triple tonic this week, but there are doubts over just how fast property prices will recover. They don't need to bounce back. They're over-priced enough as it is. But who gives a stuff about the rest of us who can't even break in, right? Supply only outstrips demand because the Banks have turned off the finance taps. As soon as they start lending again, pent up demand will vacuum up those 80K appartments quicker than they could build another 80K! If you cop a look at some of these shitholes they are flogging for 1m plus, you'd be out of it years ago. Point being, what do you call a pile of greedy fucks trying to get out of the market quietly? Sounds like it should have a name.

Why this is a game-changing weekend for propertyThis weekend will be crucial in determining whether the property slump has reached its lowest point, or whether another downturn is coming. Clairvoyants at work again. Prices are still at insane levels. For housing we should only be borrowing 3 - 4 x times our annual wages, 5 x times maximum-That's normal. Aussies are brainwashed into the debt cycle via FOMO & believe manipulative Brokers/Agents who pump the industry “Crucial” Lol 😂
