OZ BOOM is over?...house prices falling & rates might drop
First suggestion that rates might actually FALL!!!...
Rates to fall along with value of homes
I wonder if we'll see signs of 'profit taking', like we do with shares?
"There is now a small bias for a decrease in June," ASX derivatives markets manager Kristye van de Geer said yesterday.
Should the euro zone woes worsen "there would be the potential that we would see quarter-on-quarter falls at the end of the year", Mr Christopher said yesterday.
Residex CEO John Edwards also said price growth would moderate. He forecasts 5-8 per cent overall.
The top end of the market would do best, while some cheaper areas of southwestern Sydney were already going backwards.
"We have seen a fall in the value of assets in the assets in those markets of up to 3 per cent this year," Mr Edwards said.
"And the rate of that fall has been accelerating."

Rates won't fall unless Europe as a whole gets into trouble or China stalls.

And then there's this:

Really, no one knows what's going to happen. The day before the dollar was hit and started it's decline to .62 USD, I read an article saying it will hit parity in the next month. I've come to conclusion that even 'experts' can't say what's going to happen.

No way, especially with inflation is being unruly at present. The point of interest rates rising is to bring home prices under control amongst other things. It seems to be somehow ingrained in the Australian subconscious that house prices should go up quarterly or the sky will fall down.
It kinda shits me that so many people in this country have been brainwashed into thinking property property property. I don't think I know anyone who just owns one house

The housing boom won't end unless OZ goes into recession and that won't happen while China continues to buy up OZ's massive natural resources.

Re: OZ BOOM is over?...house prices falling & rates might drop
Exactly the same thing happend in Ireland, everyone wanted to jump on the property bandwagon, (All the banks were telling them to BUY, BUY, BUY!!) and then look what happened, everyone was too greedy and it couldn't go on forever. I know people like that too Centurion, even some who have 3/4/5 properties and they are now f**ked!!!!!!!! I predict property prices will crash in Oz too but when I don't know??
