    So which camp was right the doomsayers or the property faithfull?

    No, what did it say ? House prices and rents to go up by 25% in 2010 ? Isn't it sad when people start cheering stories about the Chinese trying to restrict lending to keep a lid on the economy and stop it from growing at more then 10%, you'd think it was bad news for us or something. Oh...

    Halls Head, WA land investment

    There are still some bargains around the more expensive end of H/Head & Pt Bouvard area if waterfront land is what you are after. Not sure you could make it to Perth in 45m from H/Head, keeping it on the speed limit it takes about 45m from the Pinjarra rd junction to the Perth exit.

    What does it matter the reason ? Never look a gift horse in the mouth.:D The median prices can remain at the same average income to price ratio if inflation hits both house prices and wages, also your median prices moves further away from the CBD. With Adelaide falling behind for the past two...

    Sorry to hear the bears got to you dude. You waited until the market has started to pick up to jump ship ? :confused: Next thing you'll say that now its the time to move into gold. Now you sold the house you'll have to pay increasingly higher rents. Inflation and increasing energy costs is...

    Gorgon getting closer....

    Next time you go that way take a detour to the Old Onslow townsite, there is good camping by the river a few km before you get there. Plenty of catfish that you can catch and cook on the campfire while watching the sunset and knocking off a few cold stubbies. You can use the historical townsite...

    vacuum cleaners

    I bought a bagless upright for under 60 bucks and that included delivery to WA to my door. They have containers of them so if you're not in a hurry and live around NSW you could probably pick one up midweek for less then 40 bucks including the delivery. Works as good as a Dyson and is just as...

    Gorgon getting closer....

    I worked for the company that built the 3 oil storage tanks so there was no grass, no houses and no bitumen road when I was there. They would take us in there with an old Fokker seaplane I nicknamed the Flying Fokker, half the time was flying the other half it was Fokked and they had to take us...

    "A Bear Defection" What do you make of this?

    hehehe, so YOU are the other subscriber to his newsletter. :D If you are talking about Flip-Flop Dan, the Dan that I'm thinking about, he only started to get bearish on property after he sold most of his properties and was looking to buy again. ;)

    Will restricted lending limit capital growth in next few years

    I don't know about restricted lending but it certainly takes a lot longer then it used to do. I've just got LowDoc approved by Rams last week and it took them 3.5 weeks to approve it, and that's on 50% LVR , going directly through them and getting their valuer in 2 days after I got my...

    Hot Water in Brand New Unit

    It happened to me 2 years ago. The builder's plumber (or his apprentice) fitted an electric Rheemglas and plumbed it as shown in the instruction manual only they didn't fit a tempering valve as shown in the diagram. The result was that the system was heating up the water alright but the cold...
