The mortgage market contracted in October after buyers were spooked by the first increase in interest rates in 19 months, according to a survey.
Mortgage broker AFG’s monthly Mortgage Index showed that the mortgage market contracted 11.5 per cent.
40 years ago before globalisation, world's best practice etc. stock markets too did not affect each other the Dow would gain 2% the Nikkei would fall 1% and the ASX would be steady in one day with very little international correlation. 40 years on and of course the biggest indicator of daily movement is what happened on Wall Street.
Its because houses in Detroit are going for 10k I believe that in the long-term there will have to be a correlation between the price of a house in Detroit, Paris & Sydney. More specifically a balance between the rental yields on those houses. If Chinese investors can get better returns for housing in Detroit they will eventually go there. This is many years away but the like the stock markets it will happen

He mentioned he has most definitely noticed the international presence both at auctions and in private sales, and were not talking just one or two here, in many cases they are the majority.
You may laugh, stick your fingers in your ear and sing la-la-la or bury your head in the sand, but it is real like it or lump it.
cheers
