Hi InsideStory readers, Here you go the latest CommSec report. Some excerpts from the report to give you a feel for what it covers….. The Reserve Bank (RBA) has increased interest rates for the third consecutive month – the first time it has ever lifted rates three months in a row. The cash rate was lifted from 3.50 per cent to 3.75 per cent.􀂠 The RBA made two references to higher dwelling

InsideStory followers, CommSec pulled a great piece of research out of the hat this week and made really interesting reading. Here are some exerts from the report to tempt you to read on…… · NSW still has the biggest houses in Australia – and by a large margin. The size of the average new house built in NSW in 2008/09 was 262.9m², followed by Queensland (253.0m²), Victoria (

Dominating real estate news this week: the Reserve Bank’s controversial third consecutive interest rate rise, Westpac’s instant move to drive rates even higher & the release of CommSec’s report into the size of Australian homes. Westpac are leading the “pack” with their 0.45% hike in rates. Certainly disappointing, but is this the trigger investors have been waiting for to re-enter the market? RP

We will never know if this “cooling” of attendances relates to last week's interest rate rise, but I doubt it.

Dear InsideStory subscribers, The latest CommSec report again is so positive. With the rebound of the stock market there is more money injected back into the system and real estate has also shown some extraordinary strength, and resilience.

Rental Crisis abates as seasonal vacancy rates blow out, relieving pressure on tenants while landlord’s control on the market returns to the long term normal. We constantly hear about the housing shortage and while that must be true (everyone says it is), just at the moment there is little evidence of this.The rental market is subject to seasonal fluctuations more than sales. Interstate moves are
