Stop Worrying About Interest Rates.
Sat Feb 07 2026
Interest rates just went up again — and right on cue, everyone lost their minds.
This week, we've brought in Julien Mougenot, Head of Dashdot Technology, to do something wild: pull apart our own original correlation research — live, on air — and break down what the data actually says in real time.
We ran a fresh correlation analysis (literally 24-48 hours before this conversation) comparing median sales price growth against interest rates, interest rate changes, and M3 money supply across every major market in Australia.
The findings? They'll challenge everything you thought you knew about the relationship between rates and property prices.
Here's what we unpack:
Why interest rates and property prices are actually positively correlated (yes, they tend to move in the same direction) The real driver behind Australian property prices — and it's not rates How COVID fundamentally changed the way property markets behave What compressed market cycles mean for your investment strategy Why chasing hotspots without a system is the new trap This one gets nerdy. There are heat maps, correlation tables, and a genuine live analysis on what all this data really means.
If you want to understand what's actually driving the market right now — not what the headlines tell you — this is the episode.
See you on the inside.
