Doesnt matter whole lot if the bonsu will be extended.
With the lenders and insurers sensibly running chicken because of concentration risk, the extra 7 k wont do much to make up for the lack of money at 90 % plus LVR.
Nor wil it fix the "back to the future" genuine savings requirements which looklike they will soon be mainsstream again. These were first knocked on the head back in late 2005.
My REA mates tell me that the flow through to the second tier market isnt really happening sd they expected, and I am seeing some anecdotal evidence that a lot of the vendors selling to FHBs are investors getting out, rather than OO people upgrading.
Be interesting to see some stats in 3 to 6mths as to the growth in new construction if any.
I dont see any +ve price pressue in my local turf on new land developments that are mid way between FHOG buyers and upgraders
I started this new thread because I would like to hear from Somersofters all around this wide brown land about their market conditions locally.
Is FHB sales activity cascading into 2nd tier OO house sales activity?
Are investors active? Are they buying or selling?
For Toowoomba, my local REA tells me that the hot FHB activity is about all that is currently happening. Not a lot of 2nd tier activity.
Anyone else?
