unlike Australia where it fell 1% or stayed the same or goes up still!
in Australia property is the religion
Australia's practically the most expen$ive country on earth now (outside Japan, Monaco and a few others), especially Sydney and Perth - it's unbelievable. (OT) I'd still like one of your women, though, whether or not you're still wont to refer to them as "sheilas" in this day and age.
Cost living is also high, but so is wages
This, for circa 1 mill ~ will get u sorta ok house, but not close in to city sydney (eg 15 Km out, or a shoe box nearer). Also the interest rates are relatively so high its the same as double or triple the repayment of the UK, eg you could spend 2 million quid (even allowing for exchange rate) and have lower lower repayments
and the market goes up 5% still a year in syd at least
