Mate, your option 2 would be a great scenario and the preferred one. But there's a big difference with what we want to happen and what will. There might even be a 3rd, 4th or 5th option, who knows. I'm no expert at this stuff, i can only make judgments on my limited knowledge. Here's an...

Its a separate debate. I first said that i thought it was a good program and that i also agreed the economy was going to get worse and that property prices will fall. I'm now saying that Insight was not meant to be property education and TV overall isn't. Its entertainment. Two completely...

I think they fulfilled the brief pyou supplied pretty well. If they did diverge, it was pretty minor. Certainly not topics M, N, O, & P. Really, is television anything but a waste of time?

If you guys want property education or an educated rational debate i might suggest television is not the best place to get it. It is what it is, no more. And it usually is entertainment and makes no pretense otherwise. Just because i agree with the sentiments of the show (i'm talking about Ross...

Sorry, but what a load of doodoo. Where is it stated that it "should be a a healthy debate among relevant, informed participants on one topic"? Its only television. I think divergent view points makes for interesting viewing. Or, reading, as is the case with this forum. No one has to pull...

Yes i know the type and I label them TLW's. (Trendy Lefty W@nkers) commonly know as Champagne Socialists. And i agree they are an irritating bunch but slightly more bearable than know it all right wing economic rationalists. I sometimes verge on being a TLW myself but being from a blue collar...

23 sales is pretty low to be getting statistics from. The $3.55 million sale and a few close it would have thrown that growth % right up on such a low volume. My point with the rest of my post was that different price ranges react differently and my anecdotal evidence is that the lower ones...

I admire your balanced view on this debate. The stats you posted dont show whats happening in other price ranges in New Farm (or inner Brisbane) and from what i've seen they aren't doing real flash.

As you know a few very high sales can skew that 2008 figure off the chart. Especially if the volumes are low, which i suspect it is. Looking at the figures i'd say thats whats happened. As i said, an anomaly. Doesn't mean for one second all property increased by 59% in 2008. But i'm sure you...

I have explained why i think the show was good. And i have explained why i think your post lacked credibility and was biased. Don't need to go over it. Its TV mate, not a high level academic discussion on the state of Australian property/economy. Where was it stated that it was supposed to be...

It was SBS mate.....LOL WW...if you get any more to the right. Genghis Kahn might have to watch his butt. :D And Keens comment re "Australia's economic fundamentals look ok as long as you ignore household debt, was valid". Its only valid if you think Australia's household debt is a minor...

I have a close relative that lives at Newfarm. I have property around Brisbane and get up there and the Gold Coast quite a lot. I keep a keen eye on these markets and disagree with you. There must be an anomaly in your findings.

What suburb is that mate?

I don't know how you (and others) can claim to have an informed, broadminded view of these things when you just dismiss them out of hand as rubbish. Talk about selective filtering of information that fits one's existing world view. As for Toccaros post. Property is linked to the economy very...

Hi Michael, You're a smart guy and you know there's like an economic tugowar going on. I don't need to explain it. I think your are just being pedantic. FWIW i think the RBA will be too scared to lower interest rates too much for obvious reasons, regardless of a dead economy. And its not a...

Sorry, i saw very little whinging. I saw people stating facts. I think you mean you switched over because the show didn't share your point of view or what you want (not believe) to happen. A narrow minded and common trait of many.

I wish it was that simple. We have a commodities boom to consider into the equation. I dont think a lot of chased up investors will pile into the market until yields improve out of sight. Its great we all have different opinions, thats what forums are for.

Great show. The major take away for me was that the economy is going nowhere but down. And property is intimately linked to the economy. No point saying there was no property investors/gurus etc on there as property is not a stand alone proposition. Anyone thinking there will be any decent...
