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

Opinions and anecdotal stories if you could.

Cheers

imagine the commission the RE agent got for this sale for pretty much doing Fck all. Didn’t even have to show people through the house. Just email interested developers with aerial pic of land.

License to print money for them really wasn’t it.

Kind of wondered what happened to Lismore houses/property after the flood, pretty sad stuff, crazy how high that water got.

Starting to look like Detroit. But at least you can buy these blocks for $1k in Detroit.

Funny, got a msg from an old mate. House that I built myself - even carried the whole thing up 106 steps - is for sale. NOT our style/furniture, but still makes me a bit proud almost 20 years later https://www.tommys.co.nz/property/20-valley-street-island-bay-6023/

Something to be proud of, should also post in AW's builder thread.

You've posted photos on here before @IB, I absolutely adore it. A mid-century design in terms of light, palette and proportions, and the honest use of 'modest' materials.. just beautiful; warm and cosy, but open and generous.

Love it IB. Ply wood sheets are a great choice for internal lining.
