Did Australia experience price rises anything like this?

Irish house prices quadrupled, and prices in the capital, Dublin (with 40% of the Irish population), rose by a factor of more than 5 times, over a ten year period.

Does anyone believe Australia will have a boom like this in the future?

We certainly haven't had one yet...

Pretty interesting chart.

Of course it is even worse for Ireland, as they do not even have their own currency, so their ability to re-stimulate the economy is compromised.

Would you suggest that only if a country has a boom of this magnitude, can significant price falls subsequently occur? (forgetting for a moment semantics of whether a "bubble" exists, what defines it, etc)

Hey swallow....you haven't mentioned that currently house prices in Irelands largest city are currently AU$289k. How does that compare to Australias largest city house prices? About half, isn't it?

Australia is not Ireland.

Ireland does not have the massive resource industry that sustains Australia.

Australia has ample natural resources for which there exists incredibly strong demand. Even if China slows, there will still be demand.

Why does demand for resources mean than a property bubble cannot form, and burst?

Still having demand is not enough... we need strong demand.. far stronger than capacity can easily manage.

As was explained quite well on radio national this afternoon... it's not the demand that is driving the boom, it's the price. (ie. demand much greater than supply).

Australia is investing a massive amount of money into capacity... as this ramps up we can expect prices to lower.
If/when it co-incides with any falling of demand we can expect that price fall to accelerate.

Ireland was king of the world financially and not many expected the demand for their economic drivers to fail...
Joye did not understand the functions of the RBA,
Joye did not read the ABS tables correctly
Joyd did not predict the most major financial collapse in the world since the great depression...
Keen can and has done all of the above... but Shadow is still blind to those simple facts, and he claims ..

For the most part, Chris Joye's predictions have been quite accurate - certainly a lot closer to the mark than Steve Keen.

Your threads seem to have become shrill with desperation recently...
So your last desperate straw to cling to that Australia will have a new housing boom (starting in Sydney right now) is this comparison ?

If we can not match Ireland we can not possibly have a crash...
If we have not had a boom the same as Ireland then we certainly should based on your metric in another thread ..

Oddly, America did not have the Irish boom... they hit a brick wall .

No... the USA has had recent falls similar in magnitude to Ireland, but without such a large boom beforehand.

I'm from Ireland originally, so found this data interesting when I discovered it today, and decided to share.

House prices multiplying by a factor of 4x to 5x in only 10 years is extraordinary growth... has this ever been experienced elsewhere?

(I don't think it will happen in Australia, by the way).

Why do you believe this to be the case? In fact, several countries have had a property crash without a boom of the magnitude seen in Ireland.

I do not believe this to be the case... I was reflecting the way your posts read... it's funny that you are able to question them when I put them to you, but fail to see how silly they are when you post them.
They really are rather silly proposals from you aren't they ?



What makes me think you are clutching at these straws ?
Is your memory failing you ?

Answer... to what metrics you use to claim that we should have a boom ?

Shadow
 
Surely as the nation with the highest median wealth in the world, and the fifth highest GDP per capita in the world, Australia also deserves to have the highest house prices in the world?

Totally agree. Resources is all about the marginal cost of supply.

For companies like Vale, the marginal cost of iron ore is about US$20 per tonne (BHP not much more). Other Countries are soon to come on line were marginal cost of production is around US$5 per tonne (Africa). Prices are certain to collapse.

Of course this will not mean much to the average Australian not employed in the resources sector.

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).
