I don't think it's likely a nuclear attack will reduce property values. During the immediate aftermath there might be some minor fluctuations while the market is corrected, but prices are likely to reassert themselves quickly and continue their upward trend due to the real value property has in Australia

We'll according to the Treasurer, literally the only lever governments have to pull with regard to housing markets is supply.

So a nuke hitting a major city is... Good for housing prices...

And therefore, good for Australia.

(serious question) why would a property bubble burst be bad for everyone, and not just investors/real estate industry?

If you're already mortgaged to the hilt and house prices plummet you're now struggling to pay off a loan on a house that's now "worth" way less and even if you sell up and move you could lose tens of thousands

I'd be interested in an answer to this too. As someone who'd really like to buy within the next year or so it seems like perfect timing for me personally (sucks to be everyone else).

If everybody with a mortgage has their repayments increase and negative equity they won't be able to liquidate the loss so they'll have to push through to pay and make do and it's that that will have flow on effects to discretionary spending, business investment, business collapse, etc that results in the whole economy ultimately in trouble.

It's a good time to not own property but it won't necessarily be a good time to buy property if nobody has a job anymore.

Because of all the people who suddenly feel poorer stopping spending money on things bankrupting business etc etc etc

It's anticipated that a housing bubble bursting may lead to a wider recession.

The banks will get fukt when all those people start defaulting on their loans. Also massive layoffs when companies' investment portfolios start shrivelling up

Also a bunch of people (eg construction workers) will actually be poorer, because they will be out of a job.

The Australian economy is disproportionately geared towards housing construction and related services, unlike most other economies of the world. If the housing market decides to take a dive, so does the economy as it readjusts for the new normal.

All those idiots bleating about how "australia doesn't produce anything anymore" are correct, but the only answer to producing stuff again is to see a sharp dive in house prices which fucks everybody in the process.

Also banks falling over or seing massive losses could lead to a tightening in credit which could affect people's trying to get car loans, credit card interest rates, etc.

Except there's still won't be jobs for them and the boomers who aren't laid off, won't leave the work force in a recession as their self managed super funds become worthless.

Its weird to me that like, somehow banks will be crippled by people defaulting on their loans despite
a) the banks have made more profit year on year than ever before since 2008
b) the loans being made by the banks in varying degrees of fiscal responsibility
c) banks having the ability to change the amount of interest owed on repayments, or renegotiate the payments at their discretion

Like surely with all the money they've made from the boom post GFC they can handle a little knockback
