For Those Who Like To Dabble In Real Estate

I was shocked to see this headline when I was browsing through the news this morning:

Bloodbath to hit Australian real estate, global property analyst Jordan Wirsz says

AUSTRALIA'S love affair with property is about to be tested amid predictions prices will plummet by as much as 60 per cent, with capital cities hardest hit.

That’s the Armageddon-esque warning from leading US real estate analyst Jordan Wirsz, who believes Australia is heading towards a property bloodbath as the global economic downturn spreads to China and eventually here.

Oh!

I didn't even look at the date, eloi, thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Why would they put that in the news a year later?

It's not that they put it in the news a year later.

By spamming  #auspol with old news links some people click to see the story, not knowing until they get there that it is an old story.

Lots of clicks pull the story back to the front page online.

Spambots have been regurgitating old news.

Mostly old news to make Gillard look bad.

Well, if the info is a year old we can now say it was wrong as property prices didn't fall by 60%. 

As far as I am aware history shows many people are waiting for property prices to fall before buying. The only problem is for those waiting, that day has never come and perhaps never will.
