:confused::confused::confused::confused: What planet are you on. Now is not the time to be buying a house if your worried about your job. Are you for real?? Sorry but thats the stupidest thing i've read on this forum.

Steer clear of the Gold Coast. Its going to get smacked hard in the coming recession. Have a look at the number of properties for sale and rent that are on the market. This is NOT a sign of a healthy market. Be wary of those that want you to buy in their neck of the woods. Stay on the...

What a crock.....Your grasping at straws. Jobs aren't safe. Employers shed 44,000 full-time jobs in December. Don' worry guys...the boom is just around the corner. Where have i heard that before. :D

Trusted Media Source...Why? Because it confirms your bias?:D

The denial speaks volumes :D:D:D:D

WOW those figures are amazing. The number of loans granted across the whole of australia to build or buy increased by about 600 from the September figure. How many towns are there in Australia? Gee the buyers are rushing in... BUY BUY BUY:D Lets get a grip.

How about you read my post again. What i said was dependent on when the advice was given there would have been an opportunity to make money on each one of those calls. Dependent is the key word. Do i need to BOLD it.

Depending on when the advise was issued each one of those recommendations would have made tidy profits for those who invested in them and had taken profits. Investors that stayed invested while the markets turned and failed to have adequate stop losses or risk managment have no one to blame...

Surprise Surprise a mortgage broker spruiking its never been a better time to buy. Well sorry Mark i'm going to hold off a while longer because property is falling in the area i want to buy. Property is only going to get more affordable as prices continue to fall. Falling prices mean my sizeable...

LOL:D Well thats the response i was looking for. Good girl you never fail to disapoint. We all make choices Skater.....Why the chip on your shoulder? Bad valuation just come in?

A article written by someone who works for a non-bank lender. Must be true then:D

Yep have a number of TD's locked in for 1 year and 6 months at 6.8% & 7.5% respectively. Heard the news today that inflation dropped the most in six years. http://business.theage.com.au/business/big-rate-cut-looms-as-inflation-cools-20081201-6o3n.html All going good will be nicely set...

Please tell because i bet you will find they are places you would not want to live. No thanks. I've got a nice deposit that will continue to grow plus we have property prices falling quite dramatically in the area i WANT to live. I'm paying half what i would on a mortgage in rent, 7 km from...

Sorry but i can't help but be cynical about your post. Reaks of desperation. I work for a top 4 bank and the increase in lending to FHOB has been small. Refinances are a different story. Me thinks quite a few MB's and REA are telling porkies. How unusual.

From Bloomberg http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601101&sid=as6tkNas8KQE&refer=japan "The average price of an apartment in the Tokyo region, which includes the prefectures of Saitama, Chiba and Kanagawa, fell 6.9 percent to 44.7 million yen ($482,000) in September from the previous...

No offence but you would say that wouldn't you, especially when your in the business of lending. Property is far from affordable.

I know how much this forum loves Dr Keen. Here's his opinion on the subject. http://www.debtdeflation.com/blogs/

I keep hearing that property doubles every 7 to 10 years however have not been able to get my head around it. It doesn't add up for me, especially if wages don't keep pace. Does anyone have a history of house prices for capital cities for the last 100 years? Thanks

Its only recently(last 1-2 years) that rents have really taken off. Personally in the last 7 years my rent would have increased more like 50-60%. In the same time my salary has increased around 300%
