In our previous episode, we looked at the two sides of inflation to help you deliberate how you should be making investments in an inflationary environment. Now, we’ll attempt to unpack an even bigger peeve than inflation which is interest rates.

Do interest rates really impact property prices?

What really steers property markets?

Should interest rates affect your investment decisions?

Today, we tackle the nature and economic impacts of interest rates.
We investigate if interest rates do drive the price of properties by weighing the facts to help you decide if rising rates should stop you from buying assets.
