Victoria – “How long you been building I asked? 12 years he replied. You’re about to get the rest of your lesson, I said.”

“Things are definitely starting to turn [in Victoria], there is no doubt about it.
Went to a few open houses today, talked to a few sellers, oh yeah lots of interest, things are good….blah blah blah.
I think you are over priced I said to one fellow.
Got the down the nose look, well if you can’t afford it…
Had a good chuckle.
How long you been building I asked?
12 years he replied.
You’re about to get the rest of your lesson I said.”

Many in the market have no experience of significant price downdrafts and genuinely assume prices will continue to rise indefinitely. These guys clearly don’t do much reading. – vreaa

  1. Is that English? Lord…

    • Why, did you have trouble understanding Dan’s account?

      Have another look. While Dan didn’t write conventionally (he writes in a web attenuated style), every single point he wanted to make is made, and efficiently, too.

      James -> Any comment on the content of what he is saying?
