I just checked the online vaxx clinic finder and found multiple locations within walking distance of my house with a whole lot of open slots available tomorrow, you should be able to find something better unless you live in the middle of the Nullarbor or something

I walked into a chain chemist at lunch and was in and out in 5 minutes. Unless you have specific circumstances, just do this.

There is a way out however isn't it something like 70% of Australians either own their homes outright or with a mortgage? Anything that significantly dents prices is a non-starter.

The problem is that unless you own multiple houses all of that "wealth" doesn't really exist, because you can't leverage it to do anything. I can't sell my house and profit on the appreciation because then I don't have a house and have to buy a house that has also appreciated.

All that an appreciating housing market does is make it easier to downsize and harder to upsize as the deltas between low, medium and high get bigger in real terms.

Dropping housing prices actually won't effect usable wealth. It will just hurt property speculators, and that's part of the risk you take with investments. I'm not going to cry for them any more that I would for people with shares in a company whose stock price eats poo poo.

Generally I agree with you however it exists when I am forced to sell my house as I can no longer afford a mortgage due to an unforeseen event and the sale price does not meet the amount outstanding on my mortgage.
