Dropped that part by 20%.

I saved a lot more than that by not using fan heaters.

Your fan heaters run on off peak?
Yep, its called a heatbank.

Considering how real estate went up in the early 2000's, I'm glad I did this and got in early (well very early).

same here...i bought my house in 2001.....1 year later prices jumped high up for 200%...that was a real luck :)

That happens in certain areas. the area has a poor reputation , but there are good streets with good houses going
cheap. It will eventually correct.

Pretty much agree with that. Its getting unaffordable for people to service, and there has to be some sort of
correction.

Way OT, but my 2c is that there is far too much money being pumped into superannuation and with shares maxed,
Fantasy.

that means funds are going to flow into real estate
Easier said than done for many with real estate prices the way they currently are.

and boost the prices.
How odd that it hasnt.

I doubt that that is going to happen. RE is maxed out
We'll see...

Plenty have claimed that in the past and got egg all over their faces when they did.

and has been for the past 3-4 years.
Fantasy.

I'm surprised that it hasn't fallen very much yet.
So was that fool economist who actually sold his place and proclaimed
that prices would fall, and they actually increased instead.

They probably cannot let it fall, as it would leave
the banks without much equity to back their loans
Thats drivel, plenty of mortages wouldnt still have plenty of equity.

and that might impact their credit rating,
Nope.

along with interest rates (and the country).
Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you dont have a clue about the basics.

A property manager at a Realty we use told me that they have sold only
5 properties since Christmas, the buyers negotiated hard and got big
reductions on those and the realty are basically living off their property
management side of the business. (which they are very good at).
And with the rental market very tight indeed, even the
completely incompetant can rent everything they have.

I wouldn't be putting money into shares myself as I know little
about it, and as for Super, little doubt that this will be gutted in
some way to refill the gov coffers before I get to retirement age.

Might never make it there, as it is being raised every couple of years.
Thats not super, thats the pension.

On the other hand, those who invested in Silver a couple
of years back, would have a smile on their face right now :)
Easy to say that after the event.
