Of all the capital cities Perth is probably the most interesting market from an analyst’s perspective. The population is only 2.2m yet Western Australia has an enormous land mass. In fact, the largest cattle station in Western Australia is bigger than 39 countries. While huge it’s mostly uninhabitable and Perth is one of the most isolated cities in the world – located 2,014km from the next closest city Adelaide.

Gavin Chau1 Comment on RBA’s rate announcement today
It’s 12:41 pm right now. By the time you read this, the RBA will have already made their rate announcement at 2:30 pm. No doubt the journalists writing for the newspapers have already got both their articles ready – one for the “In a shock move there was no rate rise” scenario and one for the “as expected the RBA increased their interest rates by 0.25-0.4%”.

There are certain things that are supposed to terrify us, things that go bump in the night, vampires in castles, or even clowns hiding in stormwater drains. But Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) is as lovely as a basket of kittens and quite possibly the best invention since we started slicing up bread.

When I started thinking about this topic it reminded me of a tweet I stumbled across by Australian journalist John Pilger a couple of weeks ago.

We are heading into the phase of the economic cycle where interest rates will dominate the headlines. It’s not that surprising perhaps since this is a macro turning point after more than a decade of interest rate falls. It’s kicked off a wall of worry about the uncertainty of the environment we’re entering.

Regional properties have traditionally had lower levels of capital growth and higher rental yields compared to capital cities. However, a resurgence in interest in regional property markets and the excellent growth they’ve enjoyed in recent years has sparked a debate about whether changes in the way we work and live as a result of the pandemic are going to be permanent. When comparing regional and metro properties, regional looks a lot more affordable at first glance. But how do the two compare as investments?

In short, nothing. But let’s elaborate anyway.

With interest rates at all time lows, inflation above the RBA’s target and the cash rate at 0.1% already the only direction interest rates can realistically head is up. Let’s put this in context and have a look at what effect a bottoming of the rate cycle and a move to rising interest rates has had on the property market in the past.
