Is South Australia booming like WA? Have prop prices been rising or falling in SA? They have a considerable amount of mining operations right? Could it be the next boom state?

what do you mean blondie? If have degrees work anywhere. if have a trade work anywhere. if unskilled and on dole too bad.Realist said:NSW is the next boom state, in probably 3 to 5 years...
Seriously, while the rest of the country has boomed NSW has gone backwards for the past 3 years, if a resource bust or downturn occurs young people will realise they can get jobs or at least better jobs, better pay and have a more exciting life in Sydney than QLD, WA or SA. Housing is more affordable in NSW than it has been for many years.
mime said:Housing is still not affordable. I seriously cannot see NSW moving forward nearly as much as the other states. The Labor govt has created a huge deficit in the budget where as the other states have been making suplases. It is also heavly taxed, more then any other state which is stunting growth.

Consider the areas that people go on holidays too and relax from the rat race. Then consider why they can't actually live their (Jobs don't allow them to/real estate is exy and the missus is an uptight city gal).
Consider that their are YOUNG people that function outside the box! may prefer uncrowded excellant beaches/surf, laid back pubs/gals and have cruisy mates sharing the same lifestyle.
Not everyone thinks Clubbing, working in a high rise, jostling in traffic and the shops and beaching it at crappy Bondi with a thousand others next to a freak sunning his date in speedo's is Living the life!..
Realist said:I agree with you (for once). But the world wide trend is for young people to flock to the biggest cities, your New York's, London's, Sydney's, Beijing's, Tokyo's etc.
And of course those cities have house prices that reflect that demand.
Sydney falling and people leaving NSW goes against the trend of the past 100 years if not 200 years.
Despite what you may think people do not flock to nice beach towns to live, only retired people do. The very opposite happens people leave beach towns to go to the city. That is why WA is completely empty, yet London, Melbourne, Bangkok, Tokyo, New York are packed!!
There is plenty of empty coastline and beach areas in the US, Europe, Asia and especially Australia for people to live - the simple fact is few want to live there.
Freeballinginawetsuit said:As per the "Property Thread" trends of real estate etc, I disagree. If you treat real estate as an investment (future or present), location is key.
Coastal/views, location etc are key components of value. If you get these at the right price, demand is always their. The property market may experience down times but the people with money are always out their and they prefer to live/raise a family in the aforementioned areas, as opposed to Leggo land.
Some may consider a properties location and job oppurtunties for the prospective owner in the area important, but the purchasers with money rarely consider/ are influenced by these factors and location/lifestyle the home offers is their key influence.
Realist said:Mate, why do 4.5M live in Sydney city, more than all of the states WA, SA, NT, TAS, ACT, and North Queensland combined?
Coastal land is a dime a dozen in Aus, do not fool yourself into thinking it is worth something in Australia. It aint!! It is not desirable land. Desirable land is inner city Sydney, Melbourne and maybe Brisbane. Simple as that. I could buy acres of coastal WA land for what a sh*tty carpark in inner Sydney costs.
Freeballinginawetsuit said:I am not talking about acres of coastline in the middle of nowhere in W.A.
You cannot buy any coastal real estate in W.A, in a sought after location for less than 1 Mil, simple as that!.
There are only about 10 locations in W.A. (Coastal) and all of Perths beach suburbs (with views), for our population/aspiring purchasers to get into.
Supply vs Demand is simple. Plenty live in the leggo land suburbs but cannot afford to move up, 3rd or 4th home owners or high paid crew are the only ones that are in the coastal real estate.
4.5M people probably do live in Sydney, maybe they all think thats were its all at to be living the life, thats of no significance to me!, at all.
