clearly it is because non of your predictions of doom have happened yet.
you've been calling the end for how many years now?
Shall we call it a draw? So far at least - although the bearish argument is still strong. The thing you don't understand timmy, and possibly don't even care about, is that from my point of view, the price of the average Perth house has dropped by about 20 - 25% this year. It is possible that I can win and you don't lose.
Whenever you have an argument with someone, there comes a moment where you must ask yourself, whatever your political persuasion, 'am I the Nazi?'

You might be right, but that could also change over night with currency movement or if London house prices decrease.
I think the Australian dollar will strengthen against the pound much further over the next few years. You may have a brief period when tapering begins if the dollar drops much vs the pound but you would need to sell and lock in your gains at a precise time.
If Perth is so much cheaper for you, why not buy now. Most predictions see Perth rising in value between 10-20% over the next few years giving you a 40-45% gain if you buy now. You could wait for better time but that is pretty good return. Even a 25% return is great if what you say is true.

Mike, you're not an idiot, and if I was going to subdivide a block and build units, you would be the first person I would come to. But global economics aren't your strong point. Stick to what you are good at.

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.
