I've only been here 2.5 years my friend. I travel a lot around Australia for work ( finance) and see that Perth, Darwin and Canberra property are crashing, Brisbane and Adelaide are stalling, Sydney is skyrocketing almost everywhere and Melbourne in the eastern corridor is also going crazy but the rest of the city is very uneven.
I find this out through my job talking to real estate specialists in other firms that we employ to do independent market research.
I am not upset at all, not sure how you read that. It just seems only a fool would take anything Domain says seriously. Or use it to try to prove a point. You do know that these articles are nothing more than paid advertising don't you? Surely you will concede this?
There are much better sources of statistics out there and even better there are even some that are independent. Do a little real research and you'll see a lot of Melbourne properties not selling in the north and west. These are the "unreported" sales. In the east however its still all guns blazing. Just trying to add some balance. Australian property is incredibly uneven across the capital cities. I've never experienced anything like this in any country I've lived in before (and I've lived in a few).
