Simon Kuestenmacher's 2025 Predictions: A Demographic Deep Dive
•
Simon Kuestenmachers 2025 predictions for Australia, based on demographic data, proved largely accurate. He correctly forecasted increased third-party voting, falling birth rates, low unemployment, and a more multicultural population. However, his prediction about Peter Dutton becoming prime minister and a dip in new car sales didnt materialize. Inflation and interest rates behaved differently than expected. Some predictions, like high migration and first-home buyers getting older, seem on track. Melbournes housing market grew slowly, making it more affordable, and electric vehicles gained market share. Inbound tourism also rebounded. Simons insights highlight the predictability of demographic trends for jobs, homes, and investments.
