Redwing thats exactly right buy ones that will appreciate and put cash in your pocket.
Gee Bill you are very negative. Property is a long term play not in and out in a few months. where will prices be in 10 years? the cost of selling (agents fees, capital gains tax etc and then getting back in Stamp duty), even if prices do drop (my guess slightly apart from the CBD units) people will in effect be worse off. It’s not the stock market where its easy to move in and out as entry and exit costs are minimal. So your advise to everyone to get out of property is quite silly really.
While we are at it with predictions you weren’t the only one saying that rates and would go up, nearly every economist in the country was tipping the same thing. the same thing with the dollar.
I know you like to warn people, well so do i so this is my warning
The real risk is with those people who are handing over control of their money (sometimes $145,000) to people they have never met. These poeple are making incredibly dangerous claims that they can make 40-60% per annum by writing options. These people will be the ones that will truely be the biggest losers.

i tend to think that the interest rate rise will slow down the market and maybe there might be a price reduction. But i don’t think that we will see a major drop. Unfortunately too many people now understand the benifits of Cash Pos (thanks to steve[!]). i shouldn’t blame steve as the number of properties that were cash positive was deminishing well before his book came out, so i believe that demand will keep prices strong

you will find that it is increasingly difficult to find these sort of deals. Those site are great but they are often sold soon after or before listing.
i’d suggest work out where you want to buy and then build a really good relationship with the local agents. It is often taking a personal touch to get a deal these days, i find agent are ringing me with deals all the time and often myself or someone else snaps it up even before it even gets advertised.
So work out your market, develop good contacts and then make sure you are ready to buy quickly (as procastinators often miss out especially if it’s a good deal).
hope this helps a little, what do others think?

it is actually a world wild phenomoneun this incredible demand for coastal properties especially ones with views.
i think a lot of it has to do with the generation approaching and reaching retirement, many have made large amounts on there own homes in Sydney and Melbourne and with thought of retirement they think where is a nice place to live and obviously the beach stands out.
These values might seem high but when you consider some are selling a home in Sydney for say %800k and buying a coastal proerty that is superior with fantastic views for only $500k they think they are getting a bargain.
will it end? No i don’t think so, why? because aussies have a great love affair with the beach.
Its interesting where i’m living now in NZ is close to a popular (but cold) seaside town called Kaka Point, recently American as well as other foreigners have started paying what locals think are ridiculous prices. I went to an auction Today and a beachfront block with sensatioal views went for 121k (approx) what locals consider is huge yet its a joke compared to the same properties in OZ.
No i think this demand for sea views will be long lasting. and the prices might seem high to you but there are some very wealthy people out there all after the same thing.

yes i do believe an apology is in order and i would like to make it.
(as i have previously said)
For that terrible bit of sportsmanship shown in that game i would like to apologize, it was disgusting and hopefully will never happen again, so on behalf of all New Zealand sorry for the way the Kiwi batsman behaved, he should never have thrown that bataway after Trevors Fair and lawful delivery.
(look what happened when Dirk Wellham swung his bat , he collected some poor lady right on the Chin, her jaw went for 6).

Yes those properties were well under market value, 2 in Smithfield Plains for 21 each. its hard to imagine you could buy in a capital city for that price only 6 1/2 yrs ago.
