- nl 16y agoIt's not a bubble when Sydney rents are the second most expensive in the world because of a lack of supply. It's not a bubble when interest rates are 8% and loan conditions are amongst the strictest in the world. It's true that prices could stagnate or even drop somewhat if unemployment started to rise. But that's a very different situation to a true housing bubble like in the US or Ireland that was driven by cheap credit and easy loans.

Show up when you say you will, quote when you say you will From my experience dealing with trades working on my house, I am confident that any tradie who is able to do these basic things would have work on tap and expand with lackeys quickly.
