Now this is a positive story for the property market....not...

Property values plummet

And there's more bad news with the credit crunch too, which means higher rates for us:

NAB warns of US sub-prime bad debts

What do people think about this and if it is true, what should we do about it? Is it time to sell out and wait to buy back in when property prices have plummeted further? Or is it too late to sell now that demand has dried up?

Hi Folks
I would not recommend selling at this point of the cycle. There probably are some good buying opportunities. Mind you property is not my area of expertise. Actually come to think of it I may not have an area of expertise. :-)
LOL, me neither jacquesk!

But I don't mind putting my 2 cents in...

I'm with jacquesk, I don't know that it would be wise to sell at this point, given the transaction costs, hassle and stress involved. You'd be better off focussing on paying down your mortgage, just in case rates keeps edging up. It seems the banks are intent on raising them even if the RBA doesn't.

"Ben, let's not lose the loop. How financiers view bankruptcy is not relevant to the discussion of an individual's capacity to pay something. Bankruptcy is being utilised as a means of evading debt obligations. "
