If the agent’s fee does not include a professional photographer, you can alwasy hire one yourself and submit to the agent to use. The result is notable and that’s why most of the successful real estate agents hire professional photographers. Kind regards, Liam

Comment on ANZ: housing boom on the way by Darryl Stringer

Dan, I agree that the likelihood of a real estate boom is unlikely … ok, pretty much impossible.

I think people like the ANZ and others in the real estate industry know that if they start talking of a slump or price crash, then they’ll be creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. If the general public hears words of doom and gloom coming even from the banks and the agents, they they know we really are on a downhill slide. By continuing to talk up the prospects of a boom - or at least business as usual - then perhaps they hope to minimise the damage.

This really was the mother of all crazy predictions wasn’t it?

Prices are crashing all around the world after beoming irrationally high during an almost worldwide property bubble. Here in Aus they are dearer in relation to rents and we have higher household debt in relation to household income, so price are going to go…. up.

Mr Braddick provides an entertaining example of the way in which the delusion really has taken over the minds of even the alleged experts.

Brett, thanks for your reply. Your side of the story makes a whole lot of sense.

So really, it was the journalist at the Brisbane Times who set up the spruiking thing, perhaps to get a bit of a different take on the story. Typical journo …

I think your suggestion - that all options (at least those with a reasonable success rate) should be on the table when it comes to marketing real estate these days - is a sensible one. Good luck!
