As quoted in previous reply:
During 1990 to 1996 house prices did not drop.
also
John Lindeman of Residex adds that during the 1990’s recession, property prices didn’t grow for a number of years. “The same thing happened during the 1970’s, in the years of high inflation, when prices stagnated. If we look further back, during the 1960’s credit squeeze, the market also went into a holding pattern for about 5 years.

“In each of these recessions, what we’ve found is that there are a few years of stagnation then single digit growth and then the market takes off.
Stagnation is mentioned NOT price drops.

Come on, where is your proof...

You have so far said it is a FACT that we will have a recession
You have also said it is a FACT that house prices will drop
You have said it is a FACT that house prices drop in a recession

FACTS need proof...

opinions however, are not FACTS.

1. You asked did house prices drop between 1990-91 recession yet interestingly you only provide figures from 1991. You then change your parameters to 1990-1996.

2. I have not once said it is a FACT that Australia will go into recession even though Glen Stevens declared Australia actually in Recession in April 2009 before the Government Stimulus began giving the effect of a 10% pay rise to all Australians.

3.I actually stated this; "In my opinion a recession will hit Australia and if so it has to be a fact that house prices will drop."

4. OK, I agree that house prices do not always drop during a recession so maybe not a fact. But, so much depends on their affordability during this time. During the 1990-91 recession, housing affordability was 3:1 based on a single income. The current figure if we use the average COMBINED household income is closer to 5:1 or 9:1 for single earner (SYDNEY Averages). The Government is forecasting unemployment to rise into 2010. The RBA raising interest rates to cool the Stimulus spending down. OZ$ strength making immigration less attractive=less demand......... I predict a fall in house prices.

5. Let's just see how this whole thing unfolds and revisit it in Feb-Mar 2010. I will be the first to say I was wrong!

A graph would be nice. Only kidding

I guess you've not found anything to say what sort of % get their FTB year end rather than through the year. I had a bit of a look but couldn't find anything.

I just got the 2 Centrelink ones through a few days ago. I'm sure I can't be the only one

Anyone can use selective formatting to prove a point. Here are the median house prices for 1990-1991 for Sydney and Melbourne. (from the same source!)

SYD MEL
1990 194,000 131,000
1991 182,000 127,000

You asked this question

Did house prices drop in the 1990-91 recession ?

Where the bulk of the population lived, YES!!!!!! There's some FACTS for you!

Jeez, calm down. You'll be challenging him to a pissing contest or something next...

This is meant to be a structured, reasoned debate.

He asked me to provide facts to back up my claim that house prices fall during a recession. That is what I did.

I'm very calm

Population in 1991
3,098,000 Sydney
3,156,000 Melbourne

Total 6,254,000 or 36% of the countries population

To say that 36% is the bulk, is I assume, one of your "facts" ?
