OK. The most reputable and established opinion polling organization in North America is "vague" because you said so.
An opinion is just the thought going through the mind of the person offering that opinion in that instant, 5 minutes later that opinion may have changed, or the opinion was always wrong but the opinion giver offered something that he thought would please the opinion takers wants needs and objectives - people often are not candid when they give opinions. They like to please others.
If you went to a group of people and asked them an opinion on a highly controversial subject on a show of hands, that result would conflict with opinions given in complete anonymity.
One of the reasons why polls are so wrong sometimes - EG the recent Trump victory.
But of course an expert like you would already know this.
Take risks - if you win you will become wealthy, if you lose you will become wise
2. I did point out to a number of posts berating some for advising them to NOT BUY a house because it has cost them dearly.
3. I could have quoted one of your posts also berating the bears for advising you to not buy when you should have (pot/kettle Chris?)
4. The median price for a house in Australia is $631,000 according to ABS Data, not $700K
5. I live in Brisbane where the median price is $537,000 and many very nice homes can be bought for around $400,000.
6. Get a life Chris Well that is their job.
That's why you love them so much, vague stats.
Pete you are right I did take advice in my mid-late twenties not to buy. The fact remains I was not in a financial position to do so anyway, I spent the proceeding 5 yrs saving $20k+ a year to find myself so far behind the game I can barely afford an apartment with more than one room.
I ask this question to many of my friends who have purchased;
"If you had to buy your house again today with the same deposit could you afford to do it?".
These are people who have had their homes between 3-5yrs and are all earning more money today, every single one of them are doubtful they could. That shows me a significant problem with dire consequences, something pro property people will never ever chose to see. You are one of those people Pete, you will never ever acknowledge any risk in the market because it is counterintuitive to your career, your personal investments and your greed.

Bingo.....
That's why I asked the question earlier and they have avoided it at all cost.

Stop f***ing crying Chris - No-ones f***ing interested. Grow a pair - Grow up ... Ya f***ed up. Get over it 'n move along ...

Jeez Chris where have I EVER said there was NO RISK.
You keep making things up. If you want someone to demonise then fine choose me, but realise that you are talking bullshit, at least be honest with yourself. You made choices - own them.

Your understanding of opinion polling shows why you're a sales rep, not a researcher for Gallup.
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.
