Polled: Property Information and Advice

“What sources would you go to for valued property information?” & “When looking for property advice, what three characteristics/sources from the list below are likely to engender your trust?”

Quarterly poll results – yes, more of them. But it’s the last quarter 2013 and these are the last poll results for the year – well, part 1 of 2. But that means Christmas and holidays are not far away.

So bear with us…..and thanks, by the way, to those readers who let us know that the Bubblepedia forum is no longer active. For the small percentage – negligible really – who included that site on their “go to” list – thanks, but your selection is not included in these results.

We were happy to see our name crop up in the ‘free choice’ selection for both polls (and not a soul from our office voted, either). Thanks for the vote of confidence.

What are your preferred sources for valued property information? Respondents were asked to list their top three.

Australian Property Forum 72 per cent
RP Data 45 per cent
Australian Bureau of Statistics 38 per cent
SQM Research 32 per cent
Reserve Bank of Australia 31 per cent
Property Observer 26 per cent
Various investment magazines 21 per cent
Government Departments 20 per cent
Walk Score 18 per cent
Australian Property Monitors 17 per cent
Banks & Financial Services websites 12 per cent

Most prefer an open blog – Australian Property Forum – as the source of valued property information, yet “experience” is the major trait engendering their trust.

I have learnt a long time ago not to expect any logical train of thought when it comes to qualitative research. Logic rarely applies to the human race.

True, property blogs have an air of independence, but my experience is that most making comments on such sites are largely angry – about what, who knows. Often their commentary is more “fcuk-up” than anything meaningful. Very little is added to the debate. Maybe that is the attraction – & many like to read the “dis” rather than take anything meaningful from the conversation.

I see you utilize Omgili ...Alex...

Hope you got some fashion sense you economic nerdy moron...
Newjerk? can you try harder than dig up another person's blog. My first promo was with Billabong and my name in English is modified with a T, am Perth born but also lived in Sydney to make my $$
It's Absolutely Fabulous if it includes brilliant locations, & high calibre tenants..what more does one want? Understand the power of the two "P"" or be financially challenged
Even better when there is family who are property mad and one is born in some entitlements.....Understand that beautiful women are the exhibitionists we crave attention, whilst hot blooded men are the voyeurs ... A stunning woman can command and takes pleasure in being noticed. Seems not too many understand what it means to hold and own props and get threatened by those who do.
Banks are considered to be law abiding and & rather boring places yeah not true . A bank balance sheet will show capital is dwarfed by their liabilities this means when a portions of loans is falling its problems for the bank.

Congrats Alex!

Also a decent result for Black_Dragon / Louis Christopher's SQM Research.

Looks like Macrobusiness didn't make it... beaten by WalkScore, which I'd never even heard of before today...
1. Epic Fail! Steve Keen's Bad Calls and Predictions.
2. Residential property loans regulated by NCCP Act. Banks can't margin call unless borrower defaults.
3. Housing is second highest taxed sector of Australian Economy. Renters subsidised by highly taxed homeowners.
4. Ongoing improvement in housing affordability. Australian household formation faster than population growth since 1960s.

I am surprised that MB didn't get a nomination, but property observer isn't the type of website that their followers would normally read, and they wouldn't go anywhere near Michael Matusik.

The light moderation is the key. Truth has more chance when free speech is permitted. Other more heavily moderated forums should take note.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.

Forum Rules: The main forum may be used to discuss property, politics, economics and finance, precious metals, crypto currency, debt management, generational divides, climate change, sustainability, alternative energy, environmental topics, human rights or social justice issues, and other topics on a case by case basis. Topics unsuitable for the main forum may be discussed in the lounge.

No spamming or advertising in the main forum. Spamming includes repeating the same message over and over again within a short period of time. Don't post ALL CAPS thread titles. The Advertising and Promotion Subforum may be used to promote your Australian property related business or service. Active members of the forum who contribute regularly to main forum discussions may also include a link to their product or service in their signature block.
