I thought I might start a thread to see where others think Sydney is in the property cycle and thoughts on when a genuine upturn might begin and how long it might last for before we hit another boom.
Of course, this is all just speculation, but before the interest rate rise we just had, I was of the opinion that the upturn would start very slowly through the later half of 2007 and probably continue through 2008, 2009, to the end of 2010 where 2011 might bring in boom conditions for perhaps 2 or so years.
However, after the last interest rate rise and the predicted rise in December (or is that just scaremongering?), it's likely to depress the market and keep it flat until at least mid 2008, so upturn years might be 2009 to 2011 with a boom occuring perhaps in 2012/13ish which would put it 10 years after the last peak in 2003.
These are just some rough speculation, but I'd be very interested to see what other learned opinions forumites might have on this issue for Sydney.
Cheers
