虽然降息后房价预计会上涨，但专家认为不太可能重现几年前那种天价般的飙升。 据澳洲九号台新闻5月25日报道，澳联储宣布将现金利率下调至3.85%，这一决定加 上房屋供应严重短 缺的现状，是否会导致房价大幅上涨呢? Cotality研究主管Eliza Owen表示："我们预计2025年房价会继续上涨，但可能不 会像2024年那样强 劲。" 事实上，影响房价的因素不仅仅是利率，尤其是在悉尼和墨尔本以外的地区。 （图片来源：澳洲九号台新闻） Owen指出，历史上利率下调对东海岸高端房产市场影响最大，而西澳、阿德莱德和 昆州部分地区的房 地产市场与利率的相关性较低。 去年全国房价上涨了5%。Owen预计,今年的涨幅可能"与之相当或略低"。 AMP上周也 预测今年房价将上涨3%。 就在澳联储降息一天后，国家住房供给和可负担性委员会发布了年度住房系统状况 报告。 报告内容令人担忧。 虽然报告指出未来四年内房屋可负担性可能有所改善，社会住房和经济适用房存 量 也在增加，但整体供应水平仍然处于糟糕状态。 报告称："2024年完工的住宅为177,000套，远低于同期估计的223,000套的潜在需求。" （图片来源：澳洲九号台新闻 ...
