they would be going pretty badly i would imagine as the cut-off was 30june. That was just before the market was starting to hit its peak (around november). But their situation would be no different to someone that has a high LVR now as they will end up pretty much the same way. Pay off...

'''You're 28, earn mid $100k, have $170k in equity and a girlfriend paying you $200/wk for sex. I don't see that as treading water. Given all that, with no wife & kids, you should be shovelling $60k/yr into your mortgage and have it gone in 7 years.''' Agreed, theres no point changing a...

LOL, well pointed out. People that predict so far ahead are kidding themselves as economic fundamentals, globalisation, demographics and simply the way we live can change very quickly (not to mention these things shoot off into the extremes as well). But dont forget, if you have a conflict of...

'fired up' and 'personal' - no way. I look at it more like comedy central sometimes. I usually have a big smile on my face as i go and hit that reply button. :D (kidding) The fact that i replied to draw out a response in no way suggests im making it personal - which of course im not - i enjoy...

Well then realists should check their local paper and measure the thinkness of the property lift-out before making comments like '''Both actions result in less properties on the market so as a buyer you could end up with less choice than before.''' . Overall its a buyers market. :eek:

WTF? :confused: Either this is written by a real estate agent or an 'uber' property bull. But its far from a realistic viewpoint. Listings more often then not are low at the 'top' and large at the 'bottom' -> when there is a clear trend reversal in either of those are prices more likely to...

I agree with piston, that its the same for the northern suburbs in Perth. Heaps of listings (that continue to grow) but not much movement - im also hearing the south is the same. Its becoming also easier to notice and predict some listings disappearing and reappearing with new agents and a lower...

Its a global explosion in credit and money printing so dont just look at it at a micro level - and its the precise reason this is going to take much longer to solve then most people think. The world has been in a global binge (especially anglosaxon countries, for those that have travelled and...

what the central banks will do and what the banks themselves will do are 2 separate things. The US is a prime example - they have what like 2% interest rates but where are the mortgage rates? There not at 2% thats for sure. Also all the talk with a recession in the US and ARE they talking about...

I agree with the poster that says we all bought the same crystal balls as the RBA. They were handing out this same information back in May 07 and i found it almost impossible to find a single article with reference to someone saying interest rates will rise in late 07 and 08 (at the time) - i...

Yes they should be automatically converted. 1 zfx to 3.19 OXR. You should recieve confirmation holdings on friday 4th july (thats when they are sent out) and July 7th they can be traded. Investor relations for ZFX is (03) 9617 8711. You should have also recieved notification letters via mail...

sorry? Is your post actually directed at me? or is 'you' just a generalisation? :confused: Lets stick to facts we know i.e the economy,,, instead of ones we dont. ;)

What really annoys me is that the RBA left rates low for far too long. The RBA is really good at testing the extremes. Borrowers frollicked and danced with the tulips while they were paying 6% interest rates, no one was complaining then. But the wheel has turned now and its time to see how...

what a waste of time that article was!. Keep um coming News Limited, as im sure you will. :confused:

So very very true. Shame the only way the government knows how to support families is by dishing out baby bonuses. If only they looked at the obvious.
