Nothing stopping you from buying property in OTHER markets though. One disadvantage : you can't live in it.

Personally, i wouldnt buy in Perth now.

Not a matter of being too expensive, even if it may appear so. As long as you do your research, avoid following the 'sheep' and buy wisely you will not go wrong.

Exactly right Geoffa. A lot of people are trying to make a quick buck in the property markets here atm. Unless you have a time frame of 5+ years to realise gains its not a worthwhile commitment.

Different story for those renting - why pay off someone else's mortgage when it could be your own?

mate units dont even last hours .. units will bee for sale on paper go there 9am sold already..

This is definitely something I need to drum into my head. It will hurt to sell the bug.

I would buy in perth now BUT not just anything that comes your way - money is to be made - and capital growth is where you make REAL money but as with anything that offers high return its high risk.....anyway about those fuel prices, reckon a rex can run on eco diesel????Pre det it with 2bar?!

Sorry to bump an old thread but

Not too far off the Euro mark, we are paying about $2AUD for regular unleaded here in Hrvatska now, next week is the start of the tourist season and prices are sure to rise with the influx of Euros chasing the sun down here on the adriatic

big puffin whingers the lot of yers.. that's the asking price. if u don't like it then catch a bus or get a better paying job.

geoff has been saying the housing market will die for the last three years now. If someone had bought a medium priced house 3 yrs ago they would have made a cool 150k on it - few more years, sell it and along with the capital gains in the house, u can buy a unit or something smaller OUTRIGHT and OWN IT - better than renting eh, think about that geoff

if u have money fukn buy NOW. dont wait, cus every month u wait, thats a few k in your pocket that u've lost. In a couple of years, we MAY see it stabilise, but the property market will NOT crash. ppl will NOT sell a house for less than they bought it simply because they still need a house to live in. it will only slow down at worst. dont fool yourselves and sit hoping it will crash so u can buy a cheap house when everyone cant afford their mortgage. Do IT NOW. population is always increasing, wages are going up... if i had cash, i'd buy up everything close to the city that i could afford.
