Corporate America is in good shape with third quarter earnings season showing a better-than-expected +5.4% change in the S&P 500 year-on-year.
We are not the only country suffering a housing shortage. The US is also in crisis with vacancies at all-time low of 0.8%.
If data on the economy and inflation prove hotter than expected, the RBA minutes have flagged the potential for another rate rise (most likely in February if at all).

Call me today to see how this skin-tight market affects you and your home value.
