I have a small patch of clear [ relatively flat as well] land- a rectangular block of about 50sqm. Would it be worthwhile landscaping this, and if so any ideas?

Well, its that time again. Between the boozy xmas parties, id like to know any predictions nationwide for property prices in 2012. Ill start: Q1 2012: Slow uptick in prices [avg in capital cities 1-2%]. The recent cut in rates will start to take effect. The lower dollar will also encourage...

...almost nil chance of a rise today, i reckon, and will not rise for the remainder of this year either. If it does, it will be only 0.25% max in nov/december. For rates to rise, i think the RBA needs to see the wealth created ( or rather pulled out) by the mining boom spread to the broader...

I am just thinking at the moment...such good value of land in the US. Since i am in australia, i am not willing to buy a house/apartment in the US, but want to take advantage of the low prices and the high aussie dollar. My goal is long term cap gains and thus i was thinking of buying land...
