House price growth in Australia
The average 8% increase in real estate costs over the previous year was a significant reversal of the 2% decline in 2022-2023, due to the initial increase in interest rates and generated an average wealth gain consistent with assets of $59,000, according to CoreLogic. data. The positive wealth effect partly explains the resilience of customer spending. It probably wouldn’t go too far as customer spending in line with user spending continues to decline!
The additional 0. 7% increase in national average space prices pushed them further into record territory. However, the benefits are still very diverse. Conditions in Perth, Brisbane and Adelaide remain very strong, helped by lower levels of supply, evident in overall registrations, more than 30% below their five-year averages, and strong interstate migration in the case of Brisbane and Perth. But this contrasts with much more restrictive situations elsewhere. Sydney just surpassed its 2022 record and other capitals remain well below their records. Melbourne and Hobart are seeing overall registrations well above their five-year average.

Mean reversion at work
The strong functionality of spatial values in Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and regional spaces over the past five years compared to Sydney and Melbourne should be seen as a recovery of their relative lack of functionality observed over the past decade. Of course, rising prices in Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide will, over time, make them more attractive for interstate migration, ultimately slowing the expansion of spatial value in those cities.

Extreme housing shortage remains the main driving force for prices
Chronic housing shortages replaced peak interest rates last year as immigration levels increased, which remains the main driving force for emerging space prices. The strong expansion of the population, which reached 650,000 inhabitants in 2023, driven by record levels of immigration, required the structure. of around 250,000 additional new homes, however, completions stood at around 170,000 per year as housebuilders faced emerging prices and fabric and labor shortages. in the next year. See the following table.

However, the housing shortfall is expected to remain significant, as completions will most likely fail to reach the government’s targets of 240,000 per year (or 1. 2 million over five years) for some time and may never reach this goal. In fact, around 160,000 new homes per year have currently been approved, well below the target of 240,000. Over the last year, the housing deficit has increased by around 80,000 more homes. and the accumulated deficit is now estimated at around 200,000 homes. See the following table. This is a conservative estimate: if the decline in the average number of people per family observed during the pandemic years continues, the accumulated deficit could also amount to around 300,000 housing units. Which would be consistent with our situation before the unitary structure boom began around 2015.

Even when housing sources are scarce, access to the “mom-and-pop bank” and dwindling savings reserves built up during the pandemic appear to have shielded the housing market from the highest rates over the past two years. Anecdotal evidence suggests that all money purchases and access to “Mom and Dad’s Bank” has reached a record high.
But higher long-term rates are a primary constraint and a source of trouble risk.
However, the main negative impact on the real estate market remains weak and continues to worsen due to the ability to pay and high credit stress due to high prices, high debt levels and high interest rates. Due to emerging interest rates and average space costs, there is now a significant gap between buyers’ ability to pay for an asset and the costs of existing space. See the following table. In the absence of immediate falls in interest rates, this suggests a significant threat of falling space costs at some point if savings reserves dry up and access to the “bank of mom and dad” slows. This is reinforced by incredibly weak sentiment towards genuine A sharp rise in unemployment in reaction to weak spending in the economy would add to the threats of falling space costs due to prolonged higher interest rates. The same goes for the collapse of net immigration if the government eases student visas. leads to exaggerated and negative population growth (international academics rarely buy Australian houses directly, but compete in the rental asset market, which drives up rents and, in the last 18 months, has moved other people into the rental market homebuyers). . Changes in student arrivals cannot be ignored).

For now, however, source decline continues to dominate. Therefore, after averaging 8% last year, we expect national average space costs to continue in the current monetary year, albeit to a more limited extent of 5%, as continued peak interest rates They are reducing demand and emerging unemployment is increasing. promoting lists of suffering. The supply shortfall suggests upside risk, but the delay in rate cuts and the communication of rate hikes risks causing space costs to fall further as this could simply cause investors to hold off. and distressed classified ads will increase.
Melbourne’s delight, where Victoria has the country’s second-fastest population growth (at 2. 8 per cent last year, only Perth at 3. 3 per cent) and below-average rental vacancy rates as elsewhere and yet space costs have risen slightly. over the past year – underscores that the housing deficit does not guarantee that costs will continue to rise at a time when loan rates are well above their lows.
Some softening
Indeed, there are some symptoms of a slowdown in margins: auction settlement rates have cooled from their highs; new contributions have increased in most cities and have risen significantly in some, perhaps reflecting the increase in distressed contributions as high loan rates rise; And after leading the early stages of the real estate recovery, spatial value gains in the most sensitive quartile are smaller as affordability and borrowing constraints begin to bite, pushing buyers toward less expensive real estate. For example, in Sydney, nine of the ten local government spaces most affected by the value expansion are now in the more affordable South West.
The key aspects to watch will be interest rates, unemployment and population growth. Even higher long-term interest rates, strong unemployment and a sharp slowdown in net migration would be negative for real estate prices.

Overall increases for Deep Leads’ resources: quality, tonnage and target area ABx Group has reported a 30% increase in its mineral resource estimate (MRE) at Deep Leads’ rare ion adsorption clay (IAC) earth deposit in northern Tasmania. The accumulation in MRE comes from 36 extension wells analyzed, representing a significant northward extension for the existing Deep Leads prospect.
Lake Resources (LKE. ASX) – LKE has signed two non-binding MoUs in the 10-day area. Ford Company (Ford) signed a memorandum of understanding for around 25,000 t/year and last week, Hanwa, a Japanese raw materials trader, signed a memorandum of understanding for up to 25,000 t/year. Subject to execution, this is a feat as Ford and Hanwa are set to engage in longer-term strategic partnerships with LKE. Commercial negotiations are still ongoing but should, if Ford and Hanwa inject new capital into LKE, further de-risk the project financing and thus ensure that LKE and Kachi are fully funded.
Two recent gravity studies have particularly exceeded expectations and revealed prospects for extension of the existing MRE at Throssell Lake, as well as a significant expansion opportunity at Yeo Lake. This reinforces the prospect of a multi-decade SOP Tier 1 production center around Lake Throssell.
TMG is currently completing work for the PFS planned in early 2023, adding the start of drilling in the third quarter of 2022, evaporation testing and authorization activities. The effects of those systems will affect the PFS and any long-term resource updates.
The SOP reference values have increased to approximately $940/t due to recent geopolitical events. The October 2021 scoping study assumed an SOP value of $550/t and included a sensitivity study showing that every 10% increased value effects in a $144 million NPV increase in the $364 million task NPV. The increase of approximately 70% compared to the scoping study implies a NPV allocation of approximately $1. 4 billion.
Despite falling oil and fuel prices, which fell by 5. 4% and 19. 7% respectively in August, Calima managed to show improvement in its main indicators.
