#349: Market Update Jan 2026 – Record $1M Median for Combined Capitals, Supply Shortages Drive Price Growth & RBA Cash Rate Hike Impact
Published 6 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
🎧 In this month’s Property Trio market update, Cate, Dave and Mike unpack the latest January 2026 monthly market figures.
Following the recent cash rate increase of 25 basis points, the Trio reflect on the conditions that lead the RBA Board to raise interest rates in Feb. This was after more than six months of rates on hold following early 2025's three sets of cuts. Inflation was the primary driver, but many factors are taken into account. Join the Trio as they discuss the rationale behind the decision, and uncover more detail in the data that's unfolding.
