But it has to appreciate to double its original value to cover the interest assuming you are just paying the minimum monthly with principal and interest.

As in over the 25/30 year loan period? historically haven't they been doubling every 10 years anyway?

You can only double every 10 years for so long until it's completely unaffordable for 90% of the market.

If all the places that are currently asking 1 million are suddenly asking 2 million you are looking at 10k a month for the repayments and a 200k deposit.

I thought this was VWL, 200k is pocket money m8 

Seriously though, yeah I see what you're saying has to stop somewhere but we keep hearing that for how long now? Do people need to wait 10? 20? 30 years for this crash then another 5 for it to become affordable to them?

The 10% of the market who could afford in that scenario are pretty much the ones who have been driving it up in the first place. They have disproportionately expansive wealth compared to the rest. I agree it will slow down eventually, but for other variables, like a downtrend in foreign investment. I think majority market affordability will have little to do with it, without government intervention.

Also the more Melbourne sprawls, the more inner suburban properties will push up by virtue of comparison. I think it's gonna take a recession or a serious drop off in the rentals market to stop this train.

As for rentals, there's good reasons to rent, but don't fool yourself into thinking it's financially better over the long term than paying a mortgage, unless your interest is more than a month's rent for the same kind of place (unlikely). You might waste a lot of money on interest but you end up with an asset or at least a redeemable share in an asset.

Disclaimer: everyone's situation is different. Consult your product disclosure statement. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

Find me a property that hasn't doubled in the last 30 years.... I'll wait here

    • Yeah since those first 2 replies I actually went and put some 98 in it and tbf it's already doing much better than the 95 (which is weird and makes my inner tinfoil hat wearer think the 95 was a crap batch), getting 8ish around town. Again, wonder if it takes a while to stabilize if the fuel is changed a couple of times. I swear cars used to just either run "well" or "s**t* in my 20s, none of this fuel optimisation business haha 
    • Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.
    • Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?
    • Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.
    • Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.
