anonymous...if we use just one point in time...the 1987 stock market crash...to 1990 just 4 years later..
house price of 86,000 in 87...to 139,000 by 1990 around 60% increase...or thereabouts...
and during the horrid 1990 to 2000 when housing was supposed to be in the doldrums...it reached 229,900

over that 20 year period, it averaged 8.5% annual increases...
so your increase is not too far fetched...if we say from 2009 to 2013..4 years @ 8.5%

where will they send just the 4000 Malaysian refugees...to Timbuktoo....or direct to Sydney and Melb....
will those people also want their extended families to reside here...most probably..
