Will this argument continue until 2015(beginning or the end)? I'm not sure I could take it. I'd almost prefer Strindberg to post a new anti-Macrobusiness thread every day.
It will continue well beyond 2015(beginning or the end). There will be years of debate about what 'approach' means, if the prediction was a fail because it exceeded 1m, and of course the timing. We will all be lecturing our children, and children's children about the definition of 'by'.

I'd like to hear Mr Earthsta's latest views on the matter.
On Jan 22, 2010, the all knowing Shadow made what seemed to be a bold prediction. Namely, that Sydney house prices would rise over the next 4-5 years to approach $1m.
See below
Most sane, rational people would count five years from the date of the post and come to a logical conclusion of Jan 15, 2015. Shadow begs to differ. Is Shadow innumerate, illogical and irrational?
So the questions is, when exactly is that 4-5 years up?
Have your vote
bad luck shadow, you deadline ran out in january and the median didnt approach $1 mil until June , close but no cigar too bad shadow you missed it by 5 months you looser !

With Shadow's $1M target easily reached in 2015 (the Residex index actually got up to $1.07M by the end of that year), where to next for Sydney property?
Shadow once predicted that this cycle would end when the Sydney median house price hit $1.25M.
We're only about $150K away from that now.
Could we be approaching the end of the Great Sydney Boom?

Sorry mate, it looks like you are struggling to remember what your predictions are. Here let me help you with a link
Thanks for that. You and Earthsta should hold a consolation party... instead of crashing 40% like you expected, house prices only doubled to $1.07M in 2015 (and still rising).

And now for the biggest crash in history, as predicted by the legendary Shadow.

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.
