    • Sydney home prices fell $120,000 last year.
    • Similar sized falls are expected this year.
    • "It’s the sharpest downturn in more than two decades, although the duration is yet to surpass the 2004-06 slump.” - Domain senior research analyst Nicola Powell.

    OMG, in 10 years my house will be worthless!!!! :eek:

    But think of the ROI if buying into the market (if rents stay the same). :confused:

    @Pete Arendt I would have thought you would be all over the "Where to Buy" forum looking for bargains with the market growing so much - but a quick analysis of your posts shows that you only ever post negative articles talking down the market.

    Do you actually own any investment properties? Do you intend to buy any investment properties?

    What if he doesn't?
    does that invalidate what he has to say?
    isn't it bit silly to assume negative posts by a random poster will take down the market?

    Unless PC is an exclusive " Perma-bulls lets pat each others back" forum, I think every one has a right to post unless they are breaking any forum rules.

    He doesn't actually say anything except to post negative sentiment articles - which is kind of my point.

    My policy has always been that if you don't fundamentally believe that you can make money investing in real estate, then you don't belong on this site.

    I've yet to see any evidence that he actually wants to invest in real estate or is anything other than another troll.

    Who are these Perma-bulls that you are talking about ? Most on the forum has been expecting this downturn (in Sydney and Melbourne) for at least a year or two and no one is denying it and many are still investing in other cities.

    It's silly not to assume that there is no agenda behind non stop negative threads too

    Perma-bears are probably less dangerous to the masses than Perma-spruikers :p

    its was a general statement,
    but hey... if the size fits

    :) stop it... you are too funny


    No.. what's silly ...is to think that bulls (some very astute investors) are silly enough to be swayed by posts of some random users view and bring the market down.

    ... and can travel really really fast to be in both Adelaide and Canberra at the same time! :p

    It would be much more of a plot twist if one of the multiple identifies was a perma-bear and the other a perma-bull!!

    I don't see how its trolling. I'd argue the post indicates there'll great opportunities in the not too distant future!

    If you observe the pattern of the OPs threads, you will better understand what Simon is talking about.

    If he has violated any forum rules then ban him, but just because he posts opinions I don't want to hear or like. does make his opinion less worthy.

    If I am invested in an asset I would be keen on hearing the other side of the trade, ignore it if it is noise or counter it by what I think,
    hiding my head in the sand is never a good strategy.

    @Simon Hampel I have a great respect for your effort in founding this great forum, lets keep this forum open to all ideas and welcome all opinions, counter it rationally and not personally.

    If I have spare change $ - I might take the opportunity to pick the bottom.
    Hopefully I don't get smelly fingers in the process. :p

    All I gather here is there's more growth to come. The sky is the limit!

    The problem isnt the negative bias, it's the fact the threads are just links to the mainstream media doom and gloom article of the day. Doesn't really add a lot...

    The article is based on factual data, I found it interesting. One man's doom and gloom is another's interesting facts.
