My jaw nearly dropped when I saw this listing in Kings Langley: http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-kings+langley-119938593 Most property is selling in 800k range, maybe 900k.

Just auctioned today for 1.3 Mil. http://www.domain.com.au/property/for-sale/house/nsw/north-parramatta/?adid=2011962613

North Parramatta.

crazy market, and it's still going strongly in my area. A house on a new subdivision (300 sqm land) sold for $1.3 Mil. Guess my house value has increased by more than 100% since I bought it in 2012.

+1. New housing development / construction is one of most important economic driver at the moment for NSW. Without those foreign investor demand NSW economy would have been in a much worse state.

Let's keep hyping Sydney market. Another 25% growth for the rest of 2015 anyone?

keep in mind that IR charged on novated lease is at least 9%. Eg in your case interest payment is at least $3,150 for first year.

Do they have CG tax for investment property in NZ?

Quite good observation. Also property boom in the last few years made an average home owner (2 - 3 bed room unit to be precise) in large city eg Beijing, Shanghai a property millionaire. Brother in law bought a 2 br unit in Beijing for $200k in Beijing in 2005, then sold it for over $ 1 Mil...

Beautiful house - are you going to demolish it?

Depends on the area. My view is western Sdyney already peaked while northern beaches will still have 10%+ to go.

Saw the news today that Tim Cahill moved to China Shenghua club for $10 mil a season, due to impressive performance in the game against China. Feel happy for him. Imagine over 100 mil soccer fans in China and huge sponsorship potential. He can make a killing there...

I was there. A fantastic game played by both sides.

Try Crestair. I'm very happy with two split units supplied and installed by them in Dec. Very professional and quality install service. Quality install service is important as quality units. Do not make a decision based on cheap install fee in my view.

My previous post I merely point out an option and that's my personal view, that's all.
