Just interested how many members have bought in the current market. 
So, have you bought additional investment properties this year?

- Start date
Bought 2 in the last 10 months and in the (slow) process of building 3 more. Good time to buy (in the areas I'm investing in IMO).
How are things going up your way Andy? Any movement happening after floods/cyclone? Do you get down to Townsville or up through to Cairns much? Any changes there or still slow? Been close to 12 months since I was up that way.

I have already bought and sold this year for a nice little profit.
Well, by a stroke of good luck I actually moved away from the area just before the carnage, but we kept the house up there. Large trees came down, roller door went bye bye, but we came out of it pretty good.
In Toowoomba then, we were at the 'inland tsunami', gridlocked about one street back from what you saw on the telly; the weather kind of followed us around.
So yeah, house prices have dropped in Ingham at least, a LOT of places now sub 300, and a few sub 200, which is really bringing the market down.
I suspect 'hold' will be the option until about 2015, unless another flood etc. happens up there.
Voting is pretty even at the moment. Great to see people with the confidence to purchase.
We're buying a PPOR, just came to an agreement on the price, should go through fine (fingers crossed).

Maybe another option of: "No, but I would like to."
Thanks for that..true, true...next time.
Hmm, I reckon the poll needs another option: would have bought but didn't have enough money or serviceability
We didn't buy anything this year, but we've done a DA and split a pair of semis onto 2 separate titles. Got my eye on a little place I want, but waiting to find out if hubby gets a pay rise first.

No.
Our current PPOR build is the closest we'll get to doing anything property-wise this year.
As soon as it's done I'll be getting a reval to (hopefully) enjoy some extra equity to use for another business purchase for some instant cashflow.
Been shopping, but nothing appeals yet. Too many F&C shops, hairdressing salons and cafes.
