An example then: The house I'm in I bought 40 yrs ago. It was then only a few years old and "met the standard of the time" so it would have been a little above median I suppose. The value of the building was well over half the total value, possibly 80% but that's a guess. A major suburban...

Urchin, be careful how you post. BB has been around along time and during that time has shown himself to be intelligent and willing to read others' posts. Take a deep breath and read more carefully what has been said. If you have better data and understand the language then post a...

I've just been listening to an interview with Daniel Amerman, "author, speaker, consultant" and he says the BBs were the big influence in the recent asset price increases. I like the idea because I think the effects of immigration and population per see, are overstated. My interpretation of...

I don't get it. Your graphic clearly shows Japan's population growing ten years after the bubble burst.

I'll apologise for this post before I even start it, But that statement would be unworthy of a high school kid! Are you seriously suggesting that we absolutely NEED expensive McMansions? Mankind has lived on Earth two millennia since the approximate start of what we might call civilisation...

Their earnings are X5 dividends, unlike the banks, and they wouldn't dare cut that dividend. The earnings should be robust too because they either sell overseas or mine overseas so our low dollar should put billions strait onto the bottom line. As the A$ was on the way up BHP was being...

You're not listening Pieman! So your property gives you a 5% return. Is that gross? Net of all expenses do you get 3%? Did you know that BHP pays 5% fully franked each year, net of all expenses? You don't have to buy a stamp or make a phone call. You can go overseas on a sabbatical for...

You guys are too aggressive in your defense of property as the ultimate investment class. Your beligerence prevents you from cooly analising the changes happening, today. I recommend that you put your dislike of NR and his message to one side long enough to listen to the message he, TC and I...

I bought this house I'm sitting in now, 40 years ago. I had never heard the term "median" then but this house would have been, I assume. It certainly isn't now. If I were to knock it down and build a new "median" home (you know, four bedroom, ensuite, his'n'hers vanities) there would be very...
