Apparently properties in the $1M-$4M range are crashing in Sydney and Queensland, sometimes as much as 33% from their 2003 peak.
Some quotes from RE agents in the article:
"But for a high-quality apartment to show a 33 per cent fall compared to what was paid in 2003 ... I would not have anticipated it"
"It is probably the biggest crack in the market I have seen"
"We are desperately trying to keep prices up but they definitely have dropped"
"The Sydney auction clearance rate was 37 per cent [last] week. That is low."
"People believe that the value of property doesn't decrease, it just keeps going up, and that's not the case at all"
