    Probably not a great time to buy then.
    Rates could go lower. Wouldn't be good for the economy in my estimation.

    Interesting.... there is a thread on Tasmania....with evidence this market is actually rising, inner city suburbs.

    Perhaps it's time to find out whether this is actually happening and where?.. It's not difficult to find out, just a few phone calls with those on the ground

    Well it doesn't stop Sydney and Melbourne rising. People still buy properties in great numbers.

    In reality people should be more cautious on spending because of the state of the economy. However people see interest rate = cheaper credit.

    Definitely not as hot as before but certain part of Sydney (close to city, beaches) still do well. Outer Sydney has stopped but low interest rates means that it is not really going backwards.

    Inner ring is still rising, albeit at a slower rate, due to lack of supply.
    If we get more stock coming on the market in Spring we will find out how many buyers are actually out there.

    Just a quick question for some. Say if you have properties in Sydney, and no intention selling or releasing equity, does people still closely keep track on its value? Such as browsing on RE every month for example?

    I do now but not monthly. Before hand the portfolio just sat in the background until a business opportunity came along and I needed to sell quick smart. Wanted to sell the weakest link in the portfolio but missed the chance as I wasn't following the market, declining market. Sold something else, but learned I should keep a closer eye on things incase a golden opportunity falls into my lap again. Need to be prepared.

    Some places are.
    But there are still crazy people looking to buy at the moment.
