A 15% drop seems very large compared to history, but to put it in context, it would only take average prices back to where they were at the start of 2021.Fixed-term mortgages were closer to the peak than the trough of this cycle but shorter fixed terms in particular still had some way to rise.

I like it.
I totally agree.
Debt causes inflation, inflation is a secret tax.
As it takes a collusion between Treasury, the Reserve Bank and the Trading Banks to make happen.
You'll have to give them full points for misdirecting the attention away from themselves and towards workers asking for more money or supermarkets scalping on prices.
Such an beautiful bit of misdirection.

Money in the bank is a total waste. Pay real tax, then inflation 'tax.' (Also known as eroded / diminished purchasing power.)
Just under three years ago, I spent $40k on a bit of "real assets" stuff.
Said 'stuff' has gone up in cost price by over 50%. If it can be obtained at all.
And in the meantime, it's hired and earning one helluva lot more than would the money in the bank.

All you need to know that they need to unwind all that "extra money" they put into the system.
That "extra money" was what was pumping bitcoin and stocks and houses.
Was.
You'll be looking at a totally new financial landscape.
But with totally new opportunities too.

Rates may keep going up,.... because central bankers are playing a larger scale game than you imagine.
(They're playing for the survival of an empire).
How's that for a cryptic titbit...

I'm going 1year or the best available rate and increasing rents to recover what shortfall I can .
My mortgages aren't very large so everyone is different.
I have old credit lines sitting on each property which haven't been used so I may dip in to them to cover extra costs until rates do eventually come down as history shows that, but that could be some time in 2023 onwards.
