We should be worries about the cost of groceries. House prices are paper value - they should never have climbed this high anyway. Of it takes ta war to do it, prices will return to 5 times your annual salary

Crash now or catastrophic crash later

8-13% drop?! 😂 from a 25-100% corona surcharge? let’s keep them falling

finally some good news

interest rates have never been this low in decades. Some should look at the 1990s 17% interest rates.

or it could be common sense is prevailing.

How good is life under a Labor government they are masters at destroying the economy.

bloody bs!! Here in Byron Bay half the people around town live in cars, sheds and tents!! 500 for a bloody room!! Same is happening on the Gold Coast, rent prices have gone up heaps and there are not enough houses for everyone!! Bloody mess!!

Plunge, what plunge.

I don't see any investors with five negatively geared houses crying on the streets, so the downturn is probably not steep enough.

And not massive over spending fuelled by irrational lending and / or crooked money and nearly 1M unoccupied properties?
