Have we hit the peak of the market

For a different view,
If a PPOR buyer can't afford to buy,
Has less than 20% deposit,
Could save a bigger deposit by waiting longer,
Is paying more than 30% of income in mortgage repayments
Bought due to fear of missing out.

They are speculating that house prices will keep going up which is why they are buying now, hence they are speculators! They may not realise it thats all.


This isn't every PPOR buyer, but it adds to the number of ip speculators.

"less than 20% deposit, more than 30% on mortgage and could save more by waiting" you just described 80% of first home buyers, the vast majority 5 years after they buy are thrilled they bought when they did, in fact i am sure there are some that are not thrilled but i have never met them.

Talk to some in a few years and you will have met them.:cool:
 
Which is what % of the total resi property market?

See: http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/[email protected]/bb8db737e2af84b8ca2571780015701e/37171EAC4F4F016ECA2573D20010F849?opendocument

Far right column of table 10.5 shows the % of owner-occupied dwellings, which has remained around 70% over the years, although the relative composition of owner-occupies with and without a mortgage has fluctuated. The remaining c. 30% are renting from private landlords/public housing.

All of the above only describes different states of how people's lives (emotions and/or finances) are at the time of purchase. They are (in the above instances) still buying purely a roof over their heads.

They are not speculating.

Where do you reckon the tenants are going TS? A lot of them were building the apartments a year or so ago and they don't hang around when work dries up.

I have no idea were they go move back home share a place maybe, for example I began renting a place back 2007 and it was hard to find a affordable small flat even though I had good pay and savings I found a place in the end for $220 then during the GFC I had a property inspection and I mention to the agent the amount of rentals had skyrocketed since compared to when I was looking she said yes we have so many now there taking longer then normal to fill, she had told me they were advising people not to increase rents, well I have noticed similar things happening now although the newspaper has had ample of rents since 2007 but appears to be getting worse in my view.

My rent is $240 now which considering how much the rates have increased for home owners I think I'm doing ok I might ask for a reduction in rent since I live by myself, I have the option to share a house which would be cheaper for me again, no plans to purchase a house yet will follow what happens but redirect all my money to stocks, futs, FX markets and hold 100% cash and forgien currency during corrections such as the one we have at the moment will load up the other way when I think its over done but looks as if markets have further to fall yet.
 
I have, but I'm being told I know nuttin.

me too and im a drunk and blah blah, i had a relaxing day drinking champers in vintage hollow stemmed cut glasses(full set at swap meet cheap) toasting $1500 gold ..
