    So a friend of mine asked me on my opinion of a ppor in port melb in vic. Budget about 2m. Free standing home

    The question about timing.
    Would you recommend they wait another 6 to 8 months to see if the market flattens or cools down

    Me thinks timing wise now is the worst . The hottest it can be. And either a cooling judt around a corner or little growth

    I agree with your thoughts. But this cheap availability of credit may continue to push prices up. I see Melbourne to continue strong this year, I feel next year prices will back right off

    Agreed. Id say melb is near its peak ans some at its peak.
    I could be wronh but i dont hear of lots of foreign investment $ coming into mel like they did 2-3 years back. I mean both personal and and corporate $. Perhaps more in the commercial real estate.

    Thats the tough part
    Since its a ppor
    It shouldnt matter what they pay

    However if they pay 2m for it now and you can buy it for 1.85 in 6 months the best for them to wait as they are moving dollars to get the deposit together
