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

Opinions and anecdotal stories if you could.

Cheers

OK so recently visited Dunsborough for the first time since mid/late 2000s and... it's changed. And... I quite liked what it had become.

Am I evil? Parking was certainly hectic, but it seems the heinous gross sellout that the golf estate from the 90's was, has been augmented by a full economy, much higher end value-add services and young families were amongst the mix who have moved there. Tons of Euro (esp: Spanish speaking so maybe S.American as well) staff at food venues, lots to do. A giant hinterland version of the game 'Theme Park' with some really beautiful eateries for the foodies.

Waves were nice with their barrelly, slabby takeoff nature. Stunning water colour, wonderful mottled reefs, and I clocked 14 minutes from place I was staying to Rabbits. Not bad at all.

Flip side was the 30 on one peak we experienced. But that's progress.

Pretty sure that the ones that have done the bolt down here to escape suburbia would disagree VJ, but, that's progress.
Now it's our mess to deal with.
