that's exactly what I mean
I was looking at house/land prices in places like Warra.
Warra is situated on the Warrego Hwy between Dalby and Chinchilla. A
small place, probably 30-40 houses, most of them empty(or they were)and
I think a small general store, it's a grain silo rail siding town
basically
5 years ago you could buy a house for the pricely sum of $25000, now
it's 10 times that, yep a small, old, low set 3 bedroom,
fibro/weatherboard house in the middle of Bum**** Idaho is the same as a
house was in Brisbane 5 years ago
5 Years ago the council for the town od Jandowae were selling house
blocks for $1, now you can't buy one for under $50000
I can see a very large number of people losing their homes in the not
too distant future, mostly due to their own stupidity and lack of
foresight in that the low interest rates were never going to stay low
how any first time home buyer is allowed to borrow $300000 for a house
with 30% of their income on repayments at the rate 2 years ago is
criminal and banks who approved such loans should be held partially
responsible when they **** hits the fan
what I think is very rude is the Flats up the road, on the beachfront
which in 1975 was a place of absolute squalor with the cheapest rent in
town, now has, with **** all improvement, one of the highest rents for a
unit in town.
