The US and Australian markets are VERY different beasts.
The US market has had the subprime problem.
Aus doesnt even HAVE a subprime market.
How do you know Australia and the US are even in the same cycle? A slight decline from the peak is hardly an indication of the next movement. I think it will be sideways and then back up for Aus.
I read somewhere that house prices in the last 5 years rose FASTER than the price of VCRs! And look at how cheap VCRs are nowadays!!! Based on that, I think property has to be doomed.
