I'm surprised that Rob Druitt hasn't spun this into a "Never been a better time to buy" story.

They still have some way to go if they are ever to drop back in line with where they were in 2002 compared to Sydney...

Well they have about 3 years to do so given the mining boom hiatus.

Sydney not lookig too hot either.


Sydney lost 7.3% over the same period, followed by Melbourne which experienced a 6.7% fall.

Home prices in Brisbane, also yoked to the fortunes of the global commodities economy, fell 6.3%.

Darwin saw the biggest annual increase in home prices, gaining 10.8% in the year to the end of March.

And for those hoping for rental returns

http://www.news.com.au/business/mone...-14327,00.html

Ray White's director of property management, Ben White, said that in some markets vacancy rates had already increased to 5 per cent from the average of 2.5 per cent.

Others could also increase to 5 per cent within three to four months.

"Once vacancies rise, it's a matter of time before rents will soften," Mr White said.
It is Murdoch press though but makes a change from the usual REIA planted stories.

Here's another article on house prices. Is it possible that price will fall 20% in the next 2 years?

Too many people buying new homes, (for the $21k grant) and not spending on the established houses...

Hi From this graph, does one assume that Sydney prices have been stable - ie: no increase or that Perth prices as a ratio of Sydney prices have gone up. If the latter, I am a little unsure as to why the Sydney prices vary from 100. Cheers

Even Krudd's handouts and FHOG can't stop the rot.

I feel sorry for all those sheeple who have bought property recently, they are going to be in negative equity in no time at all.

This is only the start.

Amazing how Sydney prices have stayed the same over the last 5 years, even throughout 'the boom'.

If 25% of Perth's population died from Swine Flu, Rob Druitt would still be banging on his ' get in now' spin.:rofl:

If im reading it right, the Y axis is an index, therefore a national average.
Meaning that Sydney has stayed in tune with the norm, whereas Perth has increased greater than the norm.

If average house prices doubled nationally, but so did Sydney's then they would show no movement

Sydney's economy is a lot more diversified than Perth's and a lot less susceptible to a boom or bust in one sector. It is however more of a siren as to the general state of the economy.

There have been a few on here saying the same thing since 2006 -strangely quiet recently though...

So what happens when you take them away? Remember that existing dwellings had a 7k boost on top of the 7k FHOG.

The budget will be interesting even if the media reports conflict wildly.
