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?

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.

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

Why cherry pick Ireland ?

(forgetting for a moment semantics of whether a "bubble" exists, what defines it, etc) 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).

If we can not match Ireland we can not possibly have a crash... 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 ?

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?

Ireland was king of the world financially and not many expected the demand for their economic drivers to fail... 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.
