No there isn't. It's not distributed evenly and probably never will be. It's like saying there are enough rats in England for all the cats in China to eat, if you want to get Attenborough on it.

News.com.au is sounding the drums

As house price falls accelerate, a growing number of mortgage holders across the country are being left in the negative equity “prison”.

Borrowers in negative equity find themselves paying off mortgages for more than their properties are worth, unable to sell without being left with an outstanding debt to the bank, and potentially facing higher interest rates.

As forecasts grow darker for how much further the market has to fall, consensus is beginning to circle around the all-important 20 per cent, with 15 out of 21 economists and experts polled by Finder.com.au backing the figure.

Yes! Haha! Yes!

We bought pretty much at the peak, which sucks, but we did so knowing there was a strong potential that would be the case, and as a lifestyle decision rather than an investment one. We made sure that we were buying something we could continue to service in the event of interest rate rises and reduction in income too.

For some people there’s going to be blood on the streets though.

Same here. MrsMG sometimes laments that we won't get back what we paid for the house but we can afford the repayments and if we ever do move who knows what the market will look like in 20+ years.

People in Western Australia who bought at the peak of the mining boom, for example, have seen prices fall by about 15 per cent over the past five or six years.

At the other end, many enticed by first homebuyer grants who purchased in the past six to 12 months are now underwater, particularly because newly built properties are losing value faster that more established ones.

“It’s like buying a new car, as soon as you drive it off the lot it drops about 15-20 per cent in value,” Mr North said.

Then there are the highly leveraged property investors, often with overlapping mortgages. “Quite often we see investors with multiple properties all going underwater,” he said. “That’s the real sharp end of this.”

Meanwhile, investors in places like Brisbane who purchased off-the-plan apartments 18 months ago are now being required to “pony up” and complete the purchase, but the valuation is coming in at 15-20 per cent below the original price.

“That will be a problem for people trying to settle because the banks might not lend them what they now owe,” said Realestate.com.au chief economist Nerida Conisbee. “That could also be a problem for the developers.”

And it’s not just first homebuyers and investors — people living in expensive suburbs are also feeling the pinch, as prices are falling faster at the more expensive end of the market.

“You’re seeing pockets of negative equity in places you wouldn’t expect to see it, like Bondi and Mosman in NSW and Toorak in Victoria,” Mr North said. “There the more affluent households now suddenly find they’ve got issues too.”
