  1. Don’t know about you guys, but I’m kind of tired living through financial crisis after crisis.

    It’s almost like the entire financial system needs a rethink because the current one is a ticking time bomb that explodes every decade.

  2. People and institutions panicking and converting other assets into property? That’s the only reason I can think of for prices rising now.

  3. Fattening the goose before the slaughter. Trouble is how long does that last and can I live where I am now.

  4. This isn’t actually house price growth subtracted for inflation. We’re actually close to a 20% cost of living adjustment this year. As of the dust is settling in the commodity and equity space I suspect the next domino to fall will be housing.

  5. I met my old economics professor the day, and said to him: “Do you remember when you taught us about the laws of economic supply and demand? Turns out that was all horse-shit.”
