Theme: Australian Property Forum

3:17 PM May 18

The Australian Property Forum is an Australian economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets, including Aussie house prices, global house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a global house price crash or Australian house price crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is it better to buy using a home loan, or rent and save the difference? How might a credit crunch or peak debt environment impact Australian property prices? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices rise forever as people bet on future gains, refinance their mortgage and borrow against equity, or can we find a more sustainable long term approach to managing the Australian housing market? These are the type of questions we hope to address here, at the Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators! Whether you're an Australian Property Investor, First Home Buyer (FHB) or you're a happily renting tenant, this forum has something for everyone. The forum includes a blog feature, so members may create their own property blog. Members may talk finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, talk money, or discuss Somersoft style property investing topics. Are reverse home equity loans good or bad for society? Is the housing shortage a myth? What about negative gearing? Reverse mortgages? Are too many Australians taking on debt consolidation when they cannot even manage basic debt management? Are they gambling with their future? Were the Australian floods a black swan event, exposing many Australians with inadequate home insurance? How does asbestosis and mesothelioma impact home values? Is it a good time to buy a house in Australia? To find out, keep a close eye on auction results and auction clearance rates, and visit this forum often for all the latest house price news. Our forum members regularly debate and dissect the latest blogs from Business Spectator, Money Morning, Daily Reckoning, SmartCompany, Property Observer, Macrobusiness Superblog, Macro Investor, Macro Associates, The Economist, Bubblepedia, Demographia, Steve Keen's Debtwatch and Chris Joye's Aussie Macro Moments, as well as recent MSM articles from well known media economists and reporters such Ross Gittins, Michael Pascoe, Chris Zappone, Alan Kohler, Shane Oliver, Philip Soos, Louis Christopher (SQM Research), Harry Dent, Mike (Mish) Shedlock, Jeremy Grantham, Gerard Minack, Leith van Onselen, Chris Becker, David Llewellyn-Smith, Chris Vedelago and more. We're the first to report and discuss the latest house price data from APM (Australian Property Monitors), Residex, RP Data Rismark, REIV (Real Estate Institute of Victoria), REINSW (Real Estate Institute of NSW) and REIA (Real Estate Institute of Australia), HIA (Housing Industry Association), RBA (Reserve Bank of Australia), API (Australian Property Institute), and the ABS (Australian Bureau of Statistics).
