Shouting from the rooftop

Today we went and saw5 houses in the LNS area. It feels like we are still VERY early in the game.

For the recent listed ones, there were lots of people inspecting. Moreover, one or two already had offers. To make it worse, those offers were pretty close to the asking price.

The funny observation was we went to see this house with an asking price of $3M or so. Of course, we didn't know it was asking $3M. We thought maybe $2-2.5M. Ocassionally, we like to see these dream homes. It is like catching a glimpse of the lifestyle of the "Rich & Famous" or seeing a celebrity on the street. Anyway, we drive a pretty ordinary Toyota. While there were quite a few parties going through as well, as we walked out, we noticed that the cars parked on the street were nearly as beaten as ours. I think we, Australians, have become very good at concealing our wealth. In our case, it is certainly not difficult :)

Personally, I am intrigued that some people are so ready to act. I feel like shouting from the rooftop - Don't we know how bad things will get ? Winter is coming.... Hope not but there is a chance that it will.
