House prices - going to go up , down or sideways ?

Opinions and anecdotal stories if you could.

Here's a rather scary stat!!!

"Super assets are 145 per cent of Australia’s GDP, compared to 108 per cent a decade ago – the fastest growth versus GDP of any country. Consultants Deloitte projects that super assets will grow to about $11 trillion by 2043, or close to 200 per cent of Australia’s GDP."

g'day Freeride - unfortunately yes, they've started again, pretty much as soon as I returned home from the winter escape. Damn it! Couple of nasty ones, plenty of smaller ones. Went to an immunologist this morning, will re-run the alpha-gal tests, but he seemed to think it's probably not a big concern given I havent had a full-om anaphylaxis reaction. I imagine the ticks are in full swing at your place too?

and I fully hear you again spookypt - my overall physical and mental health are better when I'm at the beach, swimming as much as possible, and a daily walk on the beach at the very least. I know I will return to that lifestyle in the near future. I'd actually be stoked to be in your position just 5 minutes from the water, but yeah, walking distance is the ultimate hey. Crazy prices. I'd started to consider Tewantin...

$650K for 650m2, from memory.

I drove past it a few times last week. The sloganeering is top notch, leaning heavily on the surf vibe. Wouldn't be surprised if the streets cop some Salt Beach nomenclature. Malibu Road, Rincon way, maybe even Crescent Crescent.

Also, FWIW that little hill in the background, it's just opposite the entrance to the estate on the backside of Big Nobby down to the north end of Goolewah, was the first native title claim on mainland Australia. Now handed over to the NPWS.

You gotta have a chuckle at this type of cheesy marketing. How's the beach scene with the 4WD on it. Looks like the Tullamarine Freeway without asphalt. Not much space for your beach towel and pop up shade tent!!!
Wonder how much they paid the other 500 punters to stay out of the water while they took that longboard footage.

The answer to your question Don is that real estate agents actually have to do some work.

heading east in Middleton, SA, always got increasingly itchy around 'surfers way', as the streets descend from local-surname, to hang-10 dreaming, to tiki coin-toss.. bondi, manly, miami, waikiki, tahiti, tonga.. I guess at least sloppy grey winter onshores suggest an endearingly aspirational irony..

I was tickled when Ulmarra Shire Council and Nymboida Shire Council amalgamated to form Pristine Waters Council.

A lovely bit of marketing completely devoid of cheese or hyperbole!

"Surfing legend Mick Fanning lists luxury home with skate ramp"

Article:
https://view.com.au/news/national/surfing-legend-mick-fanning-lists-luxu...

Listing:
https://view.com.au/property/qld/tugun-4224/5-farrell-drive-16147033/

Expected to go for about 4 million

Not on the beach or no water views, but still a nice location and very big block for the Goldie(at least that close to coast), nice house but nothing too crazy.

Would probably be a 1.5 million dollar property outside of a built up or hip area.

Each to their own but i dont think so.

I often look on realestate.com at different areas but not the Goldie so its kind of interesting to see what 4 million gets you, which while a nice modern house, it's definitely not over the top or even that big (only 3 bed 2 bath)

But yeah a block of that size(1,269m2) that close to the beach must be pretty rare on the Goldie, the block itself must be worth 3 million plus which is crazy.

But then again there is blocks just down the road from me for 1 million a pop half the size with maybe dune views and blue water glimpses at best.(they have been on the market for years and not sold though)

We all know how crazy the real estate market is these days, but it still does blow you away at times.

Yeah I know what you mean.
I saw this house for sale in Byron, pretty average place, they were asking 2.3 million.
The same house in Casino would go for maybe 550k.
Didn't make any sense.

There’s one hell of an almighty global economic crisis coming. House prices won’t be immune to this as people will panic sell once they see the market dropping and their other assets like stocks super etc come crashing down. Housing will spiral as there will be a huge influx of supply and Fck all demand. Everyone will be putting whatever they can into cash or selling things fast to get their hand on cash.

Isn't there always an economic crisis on the horizon?

I mean, it's inevitable that it'll happen at some point - whether it's one year, ten years or one hundred years away - but what does that mean in the short term? How would you plan for such a crisis, over and above what we're doing at the moment?

donweather wrote:

I also can't see how housing prices will plummet, unless there is a major change of government policy.
Where is the "huge influx of supply" coming from? And why would there be no demand?

Even if people need cash, they also need a roof over their heads - so selling their house to free up some $$, only to then jump into the rental market - doesn't make sense. And if this is happening at scale, then I suspect the government would step in with a solution (like they did with Covid).

Broad brushstrokes etc, but I just don't see where a tipping point for a catastrophic housing crash would originate.

Perhaps that's why I'm not an economist.

donweather is sounding like a stopped clock...

but i still think he might be right

I was actually wholeheartedly in the donweather camp... until I watched this...

https://m.

totally changed my outlook on money, and made wish I'd joined the borrow more camp

but I think donweather is on about bigger cycles, transitions, manipulations, and cooperations...

brics and friends is the thing to watch I reckon

even if donweather is a misguided doomsayer, and the comments above are correct... I think the tightening up of economic conditions will have an impact

as people with expendable income decreases, and the amounts... things like booming Airbnb's will find themselves empty and / or just unviable...

leading to a flood of property back on the market

still don't see a big crash though

short of a donny doomsday event

enlighten us don...

There will be no property crash in Australia. Correction - yes but no crash. A decade of stagnation is the most likely outcome. Australia is not the US where suply often takes off. We only have a handful of cities so there's not much choice to move around to cheaper places.

The biggest threat for doom and gloomers and well recognised is US debt.

Trump will add $15 trill more debt...plus.

Interest paid ATM is higher than $1 trill heading towards $2 trill.

The bond market (aka bond vigilantes) will at some point force the issue then it all hits the fan... big time, some are calling there is a major reset coming ignore that just watch the US bond market.

What, when it happens, who, how and why is not fully understood but all agree its coming at some point and there will be pain.

Have a nice day.
