If you’ve been wondering whether Australia’s housing boom still has legs, or if we’ve already hit the peak of this cycle, then today’s episode will give you the clarity you’ve been looking for.

Because, according to Dr Andrew Wilson, home prices across our capital cities accelerated again in October — marking the strongest monthly growth in nearly four years.

Now, this kind of broad-based growth might surprise some commentators who’ve been predicting a slowdown.

But as Andrew points out in his latest House Price Report, the combination of lower interest rates, improved affordability, and chronic undersupply continues to fuel strong buyer demand — particularly in markets where stock remains scarce and confidence is returning fast.

Takeaways
• Most Australians focus on short-term financial concerns.
• Interest rates and media headlines distract average investors.
• Property markets have performed more strongly than expected this year.
• All capital cities reported higher property prices recently.
• Brisbane's unit market has seen significant growth.
• Fear of missing out is influencing buyer behaviour.
• The national house price has increased by 8.3% over the past year.
• Strong fundamentals are supporting ongoing price increases.
• The housing market is expected to remain active in the coming months.
