Housing boom 'past peak', prices to fall, interest rates to rise: Westpac chief economist

Economists forecasts of house prices are just like asking for a long term prediction of the weather...all you can reliably say about the long term is its going to get hotter !
Sorry about that, (old) folks! Keep saving!Quote:
I suggest 15% price increases across the board to take effect 1/04/2021. Sign up now or pay more later.
:(
Hasn't tested this level, good chance it will

You're kidding right ? Average house price increase in the last year is about 17% and most are trading down and reinvesting only a modest part of their house sale into an OCA unit.
The cost of materials to construct new units has risen strongly in the last year as has the cost of land and wages as well as house prices and a host of other things.
Importantly also the cost of staff to run OCA facilities has risen 8% as well.
People need to be realistic and realise that if all the input costs into creating and running a retirement village have gone up by a significant amount the cost of the units and the weekly fees have to rise by a commensurate amount.
It's OK, Beagle. I was only pulling one of your (hind) legs!
:p

Looks very good to me. Hope these sort of strong sales are being reflected in OCA sales register too and I hope they're still on track to complete the number new units previously advised, (would be nice to get an update and some assurance around that considering the lockdowns). Interesting seeing what they've done with pricing, see last paragraph of Tristan Saunders report on page 2. Smart man that chap, ex Summerset. I think he has his finger on the pulse. Hope Earl Gasparich and OCA marketing department are taking notes regarding pricing. Might flick them a copy of this and give them a wind up that shareholders expect profit growth and they're not going to get it unless OCA are confident and assertive with their pricing.
the link doesnt work for me Beagle.
which co is it an announcement for?
EDIT: OK I see now - its standard non price affecting update from Arvida

Hopefully this one works.
