Housing market to weaken as buyers retreat PETER MARTIN
April 13, 2010

BUYERS are retreating from the Melbourne property market at the rate of 600 a month, causing real estate professionals to predict an ''exhausted market'' with increasingly weak price growth throughout the rest of the year.

High auction clearance rates and record prices notwithstanding, official figures show the number of loans to buy houses in Victoria slipped from a record high of 15,300 in September to 13,400 in February after sliding in six out of the past eight months.

Victoria's slide of 12 per cent is the least severe in the nation. In New South Wales the number of loans slid by 27 per cent and in Queensland and South Australia by 25 and 29 per cent.

''This will lead to a slowing of price growth, no question about it,'' said Real Estate Institute national president David Airey.

No problem at all,what i have a problem with is one week it's all upwards next week it slower,the next week it's something else,given that nothing is predictable because those that value the simple process over the total shorterm result are not telling the whole truth..willair..

I have no problem with "volatility of opinion". That's what makes a market.

Why do you think that there should be someone out there who can relieve you of doing your own thinking? There ain't! Ya pays ya money and ya takes ya chances.
