QMI: December 2021

“2022 is likely to be a year of consolidation with both headwinds and tailwinds shaping the market, while prices continue to increase, we have begun to see an easing in sales volumes.

The easing has been driven partly by higher prices and the pull-forward of demand. Overall, many of the signposts marking the next phase of the cycle are very different to what we have observed over the last two years.

These include higher inflation and interest rates, further potential regulatory tightening by the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority (APRA), the upcoming Federal election and the reopening of Australia’s international border.

COVID-19 remains a key challenge. New variants of the virus have the potential to add yet more elements to a complex outlook...each jurisdiction is likely to face its own unique challenges and opportunities.”
