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

Opinions and anecdotal stories if you could.

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.

Liberal Costello TV Channel 9 sorts out the Housing Crisis
[ Find My Beach Mansion ]
This is so funny...

That Dipsy 9 Blonde hooks up 3 Dream Homes for Sea-change Yuppies...
Only that in over half the episodes the couples were choosing their actual own house...
Kept Pretending this was the first time they'd seen their own home...for the 1000th time.
Neighbours were pissing themselves laughing...OMG My Neighbour is some loser Fake Reality TV Star.

The real deal is that they were selling their own Homes on 9 TV Real Estate or listing on Airbnb.
Later promoting their Mansions "As seen on that fuck'd up ~ Find My Beach Mansion"
Voted the most fuck'd up fake yuppie Oz nightmare housing crisis TV show
