So this is the perfect time to buy a home. Interest rates are low, prices are a good low? So anyone?

I understand that people are just scraping by, not having money to afford one, but for those that do.

Have you, or are you buying a house?


Can you tell how bored I am? I'm posting topic after topic.

With things the way they are you would think now is the perfect time to get into the market.

But here in Aus its all just too unstable.
Our interests rates dropped quite considerably when the economic crisis hit, giving many much needed relief.

However job security is at an all time low, they changed our work place relation agreements just before the crisis (funny coincidence hey?) meaning that employers now have a whole new group of easy ways to sack people, combine that with the fall in economy and noones bloody job is safe anymore!

On top of that, interest rates are set to head up again next quarter.
Noway i would be considering buying atm, even if i could afford it, which i cant!

I bought a house about three years ago, even at that time it was a buyers market. I made sure to get a house in a price range that I could actually afford and still afford if the economy went bad.

I like my house and I could have gotten a more expensive one but I don't want to get into that in case I ever had money problems.
