How the massive reshaping of China will impact Australian property prices over the next 25 years.
2012 has already started out as a year of economic confusion and consternation.
We all know the strength of our property markets is underpinned by Australia's economic prosperity and of course this is closely intertwined with China's growth.

In addition the amount of resale stock on the market continues to fall. Stock levels have fallen since the beginning of the year.

In Asia, where financial sectors are not impaired, growth has continued to be strong, contributing to pressure on prices for raw materials. The authorities in several countries outside the major industrial economies have now started to reduce the degree of stimulus to their economies.

Market wrap with John Edwards, CEO of Findmeahome and Residex.
What a year! It has ended with solid gains in the June quarter. No capital city in Australia turned in negative growth in the June quarter. The growth has been generally so strong that it is only Perth which, while it did put in a strong final run, prior adjustments were too large to be overcome. Brisbane provided the next poorest result with a growth number that is just negative and this number is so marginally negative that it is reasonable to assumw it was zero.
