Australia’s major housing markets have entered into recession. While many debate how severe this downturn may become, it’s clear that the Sydney and Melbourne housing markets are now moving backwards.
As investors, this can be a scary time. What should you be doing to manage your finances through a housing downturn?
We’ve narrowed it down into 2 key steps. It all comes down to managing your risk.
1. Know your finance and risk position

2. Having the right buffers in place
Figure 2 - There are different types of risks a homeowner has to their portfolio. This includes the amount of debt they have, their Loan to Value Ratio, their repayment type, the number of properties they own, whether they are over-reliant on variable income sources & general life risks. MoneyBRAINS technology will automatically calculate what a ‘safe’ level of buffer is for individual Australian households based on the specific financial situation that household is in. That is, it will INSTANTLY provide INDIVIDUALISED information about a households risk position.
Figure 3 - MoneyBRAINS technology will summarise your finances into an easily understandable risk position.
