I just got back from Sydney today after visiting family and friends and I can tell you the whole property thing over there is a joke. My folkes live about 20km from the city centre in a very old fibro home and that has been valued at aud950000, the plot is 500sq meters. After speaking to friends and reading the papers I can see complete denial. If there was an easy way to short the Sydney property market I would back up the truck right now!!!

If only I could post some photos of the typical house that people pay $250,000 for in USD. Although most of the consumers in India and China use debt intelligently .... not to buy Pizza, Burgers, Clothes ... they usually get into debt for REAL ASSETS ...
