When you make the statement of "All part of the Cycle" you are implying that the Current conditions are a normal part of that cycle.
Again Answer the question don't avoid it:
Are Record Low Interest rates a normal part of the Cycle?
Then you can tell us what both Investors and home owners do when they fall out of love with property.
Every cycle has different prevailing economic conditions. There is no 'normal' interest rate for an economic cycle.
When the love affair with property ends every few years, prices and sales volumes fall a bit, and most investors and home owners simply wait for the next cycle to begin.
"The truth is that there are no good men, or bad men. It is the deeds that have goodness or badness in them. There are good deeds, and bad deeds. Men are just men."

Happens regularly - no big deal.
Can you please tell me the Last time in the Cycle we had:
Record Low interest rates Record High Asset Values Record High Levels of DEBT both Locally and Abroad
Yep that happens regularly........
Or are trying to pretend the GFC never happened nor the policy response to this has created the current malaise.
Again please tell me what YOU will do when this Love affair ends.

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.
