It's all a bubble built on environmental subsidy that simply isn't available to give.
** WARNING: false economy in motion!
Aussieland is a tiny little nation with a massive population, so we've got to expect housing to be expensive here.
And, It's not a 'bubble', what we've go is a Hindenburg of housing price inflation. Our house prices are as much as ten times higher than what their real value is.

Our house was only worth $17,000!!!
1/2 the price of the car!!!
Your house is worth $170,000? Where do you live, Birdsville?
Naww did i make your stupid comment on house prices sound stupid?
Birdsville!!
That's how far 'out' you have to be content to live if you 'expect' to pay a reasonable price for an 'ouse in Aussieland.
Quote:No good slinging an "insult" with such a hefty dose of ignorance, just makes you look like a tool.
Anyone who for any reason defends the prices of 'ouses in Aussieland is being offensive to all of those young couples contemplating buying their first 'ome 'ere.
As for me, I 'ave to be offensive when dealing wiff Aussies. Why? Because make any concessions, then the Aussies complacent nature will once again resume control, they will fall right back down the well again is what I'm sayin'.
Quote:I live in a small town 100 meters from the banks of the Murray river, 500 meters from the 2012 Tourism Australia Pub of the year and 500 meters from the primary school that was est. 1890. And just for added convenience there is a 24/7 BP servo/supermarket 2k's down the road.
The streets are so wide and quiet with center plantations all the way along. The air is clean and the neighbors are like old mates.
I pass about 8 road side stalls selling fruit and veggies on the way home from work.
The house is solid as a rock early 1980's brick, 3 bedroom, massive kitchen with 2 dining areas and big lounge. It has a double carport, there is also a double lock up shed and a garden shed in the back yard as well.
The house is on 1/4 of an acre, fully fenced and we have planted an Apple, Cherry and a Lime tree so far and the veggie patch is ready for the next planting.
Central to the back yard is a massive old Plane tree, next to a Desert Ash of similar vintage that gives us so much shade and is perfect in he hot weather.
The front garden in now planted to natives (mainly Grevillia).
It's 10'ks to the main town and work. And 15 to the air port.
30k's west and you're at the confluence of the Murray/Darling rivers, another 20k's to the Great Anabranch of the Darling River and another 50 past that at the magnificent Lake Victoria.
If you want to do some driving, north you can visit the ancient Mungo and Willandra lakes national parks. Or a bit further west the Menindee Lakes that hold 9 times the water of Port Jackson (Sydney Harbor)
150's east to the Murrumbidgee, Edwards and Warkool rivers.
That's where i live, that's what $170K can get you in my country.
I dare you to ask me if i'm happy....
It sounds nice. But the typical Aussie is 'appy wif any form of roof over 'e's 'ead, and believes if 'e pays less than 'alf a 'mil' 'e's got a bargin. And what would be 'appening to your 'ouse price if every couple wanting to buy, buys an 'ouse there. So shss! (unless you're are planning to leave Aussieland and hope to get a million for your place, that is).
These are the kinda prices ovvers are payin': 'What a steal', old 'Fibro' miners cottage located in Captains Flat (I'm currently staying in Queanbeyan, and it's often referred to as being the 'arsehole' of Canberra, being slightly south of the capital, which would make Captains Flat Canberra's hemorrhoids).
