Headlines such as these are designed to sell shares to the average investor. Most likely they have a superfund or peraps Buffett looking to offload shares. They then sell off shares in parcels so it does not cause a big drop in prices. Look at most charts you will see how shares rise...

I am just commentating on the current trajectory. The Government is talking up the smart Australia rhetoric hopefully it will eventuate.

Australia will have to sit and wait for the world economy to pick up. This is when our resources will be in demand again which in turn fill fill up the goverment coffers. The housing industry is largely propping up the our economy combined with modest tourism numbers. With an ageing baby...

Thats the base home cost. A turn key finish will add around $60 to $80k depending on the soil type.

Now that the Goverment has introduced a stimulus package to help small business I cannot see the need for further rates cuts. There will be a period of 6 to 12 months to see the effectiveness of the initiative before any decision of interest rate adjustments. We are not in a recession so...

I have raised a Queenslander and build under plus fully reconfigured and renovated the upstairs 10 years ago. A lot of work went into the project and time away from the family. In hindsight it would have been cheaper to demolish and rebuild. You cannot use precut panels when raising an...

In a hot market where prices are going up then negotiation may not be possible. The Brisbane market is hot is some places and there are areas where discounts are possibleas the market has not picked up yet.

These strategies are easy to teach however, difficult to implement. You need to be dedicated and be prepared to knock on doors to get the right property. The promoters dont really care as the success depends on you applying the strategies correctly. The majority will fail due to the...

We had a double dip recession after Paul Keating took over from Bob Hawke. I believe the second recession was in 1993.

I remember back in early 2000 1 into two only cost around $20k. Council sees developers as the minority so rather than increasing rates they slug developers to raise revenue. Big rate increases leads to immediate sacking of the encumberent council members. There was a big jump when the...

Also have to add the Paul Keating resession, the one we had to have.

Good price. I would put Jimboomba ahead of Yarrabilba as it has the potential for a rail station

You will need to check that the block in question is not mine effected before you buy. Then you need to do your research on what is the suitable development for the street.
