In 6 months it could be an even better time to buy, but who knows. With such uncertainty in the market at the moment, holding costs would be my number one concern.

Bearish indeed! However I wonder if such increases in listings will lead to: 1. Collapse in prices as touted by the article, or, 2. Stalling or slight falls in prices, accompanied by increasing rents, thereby over time (perhaps many years) restoring some market equilibrium. I would say...

I would like to do it this way. One would probably (certainly?) learn more looking at 100 properties on one's own, negotiating the deal, etc, as opposed to engaging a BA to do the leg work. But yes, availability of time is the issue.

I just pay the BA fee. Wouldn't bother trying to do it otherwise.

Well yeah I'm happy on a 25ft Bertram, but there's a lot of Sunseekers in the 80ft range floating about at the moment. As for the moorings, a friend moved one about 10 metres on Aus day! The boat was within the mooring rating too.

I go over to rotto a fair bit and being there a few times this summer, one thing which struck me was that the quality of boats over there has very much improved over the last five years. Although so very adequate a late 80s 40ft riviera for example doesn't do much to impress these days.
