I’ve got a running thread with some of the more outlandish sales in Aus: nostr:note1e4gu3g8hanesren3cnu62gvkh5hjwmlalz94esyn6emd8006cwusswz5dt
$4-$5 million is their house, the house they own which their daughter lives in in the next suburb, and I know they’ve got a holiday home but haven’t seen it.
Will follow you to follow this. Interesting to see the bidders. Mostly mainland Chinese or Taiwanese? Do you know?
It has mostly been developers with a healthy contingent of mainland Chinese and wealthy Boomers levering up into investment properties. Developers have started to drop off, Chinese money and Boomers still going strong.
Last question if I may. Is this happening only at the east (gold) coast or everywhere in AUS?
Sydney definitely has the worst of it, but Adelaide home values have doubled in 4 years:

There is nowhere in Australia where the average person can buy a house any more:

You’d need to be on 3X average income to buy a home: nostr:note1h9yclh7nufxdmtess2jflkl77xc7dd693qks74xqrqa8f9pkvq3qeq52xn
In fact the median household can only afford 13% of homes in the country: nostr:note1587s4m9sg80y5x9e6z9f5eneyxnhnreldgc8n9ncm9p8xd6hwndqjju5rj

The witches, in MacBeth. Also Australia's economic strategy
Our parasites are basically playing Russian roulette with the economy. Pump it as hard as possible and hope you can kick the can so the bust doesn’t come on your watch.
We all know whoever cops the bust will be sidelined for a generation so methinks Labor will go one term and handball the grenade back to the Libs.
Astonishing. Thank you for all that information.
At least the house in Kellyville looks like the buyer could move in tomorrow. There's a YouTube channel where the guy says something like "this is what 6 mlion will buy you in Sydney" then proceeds to show you a house that should be torn down on 300ms squared. 🙄🙄 He does a whole bunch of places just like that, it's kind of wild.
I couldn't find the guy I saw last time but the first minute of this gives almost similar vibes.
Here’s $1.3 million dollarydoos in Annandale: nostr:note1dkg5ef37x2mmfrxv393wfmaq0mm2zcf4r3nnyfgn99aw9saemx3qws72pc
Saw another a week or so ago that went for $3 million and it literally didn’t have a roof - had been burned and condemned so people couldn’t inspect it but still got snapped up for the land.
