yes if you paid top dollar in '07...the only thing dragging the average down is the high decreases in properties over $2M...i don't know about busso, but i'm talking perth. house i'm in was worth $650k in 07, is now worth $700k easy considering the house down the street sold for $715k a month ago.

you mean like at most auctions, it's always been like that with auctions, even in the boom times. looks pretty **** over there in the east, the west is only stagnating, prices won't rise but rent is through the roof, yields are coming back to what they were in the early 00's. property market...

Lol perth population growth. And the population is 1.8 million, considering sydney's is 4, I doubt it is half of western sydney...and with the population it currently has there will be plenty if mining to come considering the amount of land.

well tell me what underlying principals will bring property prices down, because one simple yet large principle is supply>demand right now.

no not trolling... how is that not good return? that's a yield of 11.6%pa...how's that not good? i'm not 100% on the markets over the east, but i'm in Perth and if you look at our growth, i'd love for you to tell me some reasons why it still won't grow considering our huge population and...

well considering the prices haven't actually gone down since 2007, i doubt they'll keeping decreasing. yes maybe from 2007-2017 they won't double, but i think they will double in the next ten years. I wouldn't call property prices increasing 2-3% "tumbling", and i wasn't aware Australia was...

no i'm not following... well economic and population growth, especially in WA

So you can prove that property prices haven't doubled (usually more than doubled) every ten years since the 60's? Some said i'm wrong, but try prove me wrong...

Re: Property vs. shares for a 20 something i'm sorry, but property doubles in price every 7-10 years...when you can borrow up to 90% of the cash for a property, if you bought a $1M house (with a $100k deposit), in ten years (less interst repayments of say $720K and other expenses of $80k)...

I'd hate to sound like i haven't studied all the economics (which i have) and dispite this, i still highly doubt there will be that large a property burst as people think. Yes prices are technically highly overvalued, and purchasing a property is highly unattractive with such high overheads...

hi all, just doing an analysis of the market and wanted to know if anyone knew of a site somewhere that has the historical prices of coys which also includes the dividends in the price that can be all put onto a spreadsheet. i know you can download historical prices from yahoo onto...

yea, thanks for the advice mazzatelli! so your friend who didn't get into a bg 4 did her CFA while at a small accounting firm? i couldn't imagine the firm would have paid for a CFA, that must have been expensive! yea i understand what you mean with other majors having strong mathematical...
