"The Reserve Bank of Australia and most Australian economists say there is no bubble in Australian house prices. But Dent is sticking to his guns."
Well, ordinarily I think Harry is very good at making money for himself and plays on fear beautifully.
And sprukes mainly bull.
He does have a couple of things right this time though - one glance at any house price graph over the last 60-70 years of at least Sydney or Melb. house prices - tells you one thing -
this is almost for sure a bubble.
That said - I think what people feel is the best indicator of a bubble.
If you feel --
prices will continue going up
prices will go up forever
prices will definitely be higher next year
in a downturn --- it will come back
these are all strong indicators of a bubble -- are they in place?
you bet they are.
Is Charlie right about chinese buying?
One glance at almost any auction crowd tells you ------ YES - a resounding yes.
Who pays the most? Chinese.
Who beats Aussies hands down by hundreds of thousands of dollars at city auctions? --- Chinese.
If that money is coming from China and china has a financial/property collapse ----------- will aussie property be effected?
Well, what would you think?
If Chinese dissappear from our markets - just who will continue to push those higher prices?? Arrh, no one.
If prices started selling off - banks would get nervous and buyers would dry up --------- what would happen to existing places? I will leave that to you.
have a great day all
