NZ prices have already dropped significantly (over 20% in many case) mainly due to changes in tax laws (in the process of being reversed mainly). And surprise, surprise the market didn’t fall out of the rental market despite many predictions it would, in fact just recently read that landlords are currently unable to increase rents and renters seem to have regained some power in the market. Admittedly NZ is in recession!I don’t disagree with you @drron.
In New Zealand prices are dropping now even though interest rates are being cut.
Perth real estate is being chased by eastern states buyers.
Riverfront properties are going to mainly Indian and Chinese buyers.
Bank of mum and dad must be getting stretched now.
It's recovered and gone beyond.It’s funny (not) that there’s been a lot of coverage of rent increases post COVID but zero mention that’s off the back of massive rent reductions during COVID (Uni students, casual and professionals all went home).
We do not consider Victoria as being a State where we can consider buying more real estate. Land taxes are going to continue to rise to put a bandaid over the financial mess that continues to grow. We do have a 3,000 square metre office/warehouse and an apartment in Southbank but nothing more.
