The CoreLogic House Price Index for August was released last week and while the overarching trend of the market slowdown hasn't changed the short term outlook has shifted slightly, due to the latest lockdown. But it's also worth noting what's different this time around.

Once again the Reserve Bank come through with more talking points. This time regarding tightening of lending standards for owner occupiers - in particular first home buyers. There's plenty of detail to chew over, which Kelvin and Nick do.

This week, look out for the latest release of the Corelogic (Un)Affordability Report, and net migration figures for July.
