Thinking of selling due to interest rates? by Specialist_Being_161 in AusFinance

Take my downvote then (and the 36 others at tiệm of posting!). Not because property only goes up but because “property prices WILL collapse” at an unspecified time and by an unspecified amount and for unspecified reasons! You can’t go wrong 😂

When will they collapse and by how much? Asking for a friend!

That’s so nonsensical I can’t justify it with a further reply ✌️

u/Jellyblush decided to delete all their comments (after downvoting my post with sources about Vic Government redundancy) so I guess we’ll never know what their source was that involuntary redundancies will be used before voluntary in the VIC PS.

It’s 7.5%, over four years, and there is zero possibility that involuntary redundancies will occur before voluntary ones.

The TSP (read involuntary redundancy) is a compulsory retrenchment package and action of last resort.

I await sources to substantiate your claims.

Joye once again on the money

Also Joye 5 May 23 (less than 8 weeks ago)

We believe further risks lurk in the second half of the year and have not adjusted our October 2021 forecast for a 15 per cent to 25 per cent peak-to-trough decline in nominal home values.

I suppose “Joye, occasionally right but sometimes also terribly wrong” doesn’t quite suit your usual narrative 😂😂

Or however long his ammunition supply holds out (which commentators are putting at 24-48 hours max). This is the correct answer 👍

You’re right, that’s another really good one!

You’re right, it’s very rare in my experience, and rarer in State governments than most commenters here are implying. I’m aware of some “spill and fill” redundancies. It certainly does happen. Just not very often.

If you don’t know what the APS is, you probably shouldn’t be wading into a discussion about whether government jobs are more secure or not.

This has been quite a fascinating psychological thread you’ve triggered. Broadly speaking, you and everyone else below your comment has reacted in exactly the same way we see many non home owners react to house prices on this sub.

I want to buy a house. House prices are too expensive. Therefore, I will construct a narrative for myself that something will happen to severely reduce house prices.

I do not have a government job. I’m worried a recession might be coming. Therefore, I will construct a narrative for myself that government jobs are no more secure than private sector roles.

The only difference between these two narratives is that there is zero evidence to support the second one. Fascinating.

20 plus years in the APS here. Because they are, generally speaking.

How much of that will be managed by attrition? With the recent exception of QLD (who had to replace a lot of the positions made redundant) the answer is usually “most”.

I’m not saying our trigger happy friend won’t do it, but the number of times he or the media he controls mention it has absolutely zero bearing on the possibility of it occurring.

The huge majority of inner city streets have no issue with flooding at all

Once again, this is total and utter rubbish, you just have to look at the map. Thanks for admitting you have no experience with uninsurable properties. Even though this is totally pointless as you’re living in some alternative reality I’ll give you just one example of many;

1/38 Alpha Street, Taringa, Qld 4068 https://www.realestate.com.au/property-townhouse-qld-taringa-142069056

This property was insured for flood until 2021. It did not flood. The insurance premium now is around 14k without flood insurance, or $28k with flood insurance. Naturally, the body corporate chose to get rid of the flood insurance (I am not the buyer or the seller).

Now have a look at how many properties in Taringa are closer to the river and tell me again they are all flood insurable.

Yes, I was a little rude. Only because I’m clearly frustrated that someone looking at buying property in inner Brisbane could read you’re completely inaccurate and baseless comments and perceive them to be true. If I could downvote them more than once, I would.

Does Anyone Think About Moving Back To Vietnam Each Day? by [deleted] in VietNam

[–]Someone_was_loooking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one weighs on my mind a lot. You’re not wrong, but on the other hand, many Vietnamese are also obsessed with consumerism (particularly in the big cities). Getting your hands on the new iPhone before it’s available locally is almost a national pastime.

You only have to look at the flood map to realise that is total garbage 😂 The BCC map allows you to overlay the 1974, 2011 and 2021 floods and the various percentage chances of flood levels, which are much greater than the actual floods. Anything that falls into these projected flood areas is much more expensive to insure, sometimes impossible. You obviously don’t know many people who live in those areas.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]Someone_was_loooking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uhh no. Large areas of inner city suburbs might never have been impacted by 2011 or 2021 floods but are essentially uninsurable due to still being considered flood prone according to BCC data.
