Love it, too :)

As you say so, that would only confirm that there is a high demand for Australian properties. When there is high demand and supply is short, price will hold or go up. As an interesting observation, a whole floor may sound a lot but in fact it is not. If a unit can house three persons then a...

Sumterrence, It appears you have a strong assumption that asian people who come here to buy are full of money, speculative and naive? :confused: :eek: :o

We can sympathise with people feeling about high prices and I guess they can learn how to make the situation works for them. Buying a first home is always hard, never been cheap, never been easy, through the generations. The reality of Australia being an iconic place to live is something we...
