Just how overpriced are Australian dwellings? and what is the outlook for house prices in the next few years? are two of the questions to be discussed at UNSW’s annual Real Estate Symposium.
The outlook for Australian house prices, the question of how overpriced are Australian dwellings, and options for Value Capture are just some of the subjects to be discussed at UNSW’s annual tomorrow (Tuesday, 6 September).
Professor Kevin Fox, the Director of UNSW's Centre for Applied Economic Research, says “the real estate sector represents a substantial share of the assets of both businesses and households and it is a major influence on the performance of the economy. So the question of whether house prices and land are overvalued is an important one of great policy relevance, as are issues about how to tax land to fund infrastructure investment”.
Professor Fred Hilmer, the former Vice-Chancellor of UNSW and influential expert on national competition policy, will give the opening address on 'Competition Policy and Real Estate'.
“This conference will bring together real estate experts from academia, industry and government. This is part of our strategy for developing a rigorous research capacity in real estate to meet the need for industry-relevant academic research, and thereby provide leadership on Australian policy development relating to real estate,” says Professor Fox.
