Refer to earlier post - Inner get growth spurts like outer suburbs (one of those we just saw, one before started in 2000). Show me any 10 year period where inner suburbs saw a consistent 7-10% growth whilst outer lacked in that growth. I couldnt find any in the last 35 years of data. Yep...

They are not more proven than outer suburbs... If you work for a bank/ completed study for them, surely you would give importance to numbers, stats, factual evidence, past trends, etc.. ? Based on all of those, outer suburbs have never lagged behind inner in capital growth and in most cases...

typical...! The chart in the link demonstrates what we have already known since eternity... Melbourne's prop value for inner suburbs are higher than median and outer suburbs are below median..! :rolleyes: What's the big revelation..? And lets ask you some more details about your...

The key difference this time compared to the stagnation period you are talking about back then is the following: - Never before in the history, the inner suburbs have experienced the meteoric rise in value within such a short time frame. The outward spiraling of the ripple must hence be...

I disagree... Melbourne has more to it than just inner blue chip suburbs. I bet my bottom dollar that Melbourne will perform well in 2008 (excluding inner) and the increase in values for most middle and some outer suburbs will be as steep as it was for inner in 2007. This has happened...

With the highest growth of any suburb in Victoria in the past 12 months, I wouldn't be looking at Kew at this point in time (even though I have a prop there that I purchased in 2002). Very low rentals yields for a new acquisition coupled with doubling of prices in the last 3 years; ... and...
