You put foward good arguments that are hard to argue with at times. This place has followers of both extremes. Iminent boom or decades long correction or all variations between. Who knows. Personally if something in the middle eventuates ill be happy. I think that would be the safest bet out of...

The same can be said for my regional property. My 60+ yo property would have been just an average one when built. Now it is considered a CBD property and holds a higher value for this reason. The average homes are now much further away.

I think its:cool: when i know i can retire and:D: when i have retired. Actually truth is retiring early sounds boring to me. If i can slow down at 50 or have a change. Maybe travel and work. Well then that sounds great to me. Stopping cold turkey. Not interested.

Cool. They will double before i retire.:cool:

I would have to agree that anyone thinking price drops cant happen are a bit dilusional. But the majority of investors on here dont think that. Market movement is part of the big picture. This has been the case for many cycles.A backward movement is values in the short term is not reason to sell.

thats the thing. There is a good chance that the lines will not be that clear. People might say we had a correction of 10 to 15% and that is not a crash. Then up pop the isolated examples of bigger drops and people saying the drop was bigger blah blah blah. So yeah. The middle ground is going...

Fair call but i think most would agree there is a bit of a trolling push going on right now. no worries but i guess. It will die down as always. As for what happens. Who knows. scratch that. Not one single person knows. Each person must look at their own situation. That...

Woops.Sorry wrong web site. I thought i was trolling on a different doom and gloom forum. My bad:D

I think we are in the middle of many factors that will likely push house values much much higher. Not down as suggested. We will see House values double in the next few years possibly even X3 if things happen as i think they will. This is happening at the coal face now and will spread soon...

I would think that if you had no cycles under your belt and planned to retire within ten years, then you might be pushing it a bit. If you allow a little longer on this one( say 15 years) or be a bit more creative then just buy and hold then I still think the odds are good. 20 plus years for...
