We sold our house in Australia about 4 years ago... it made a record for that area and everyone thought we were nuts... everyone in Aus thinks that property can never decrease in value ever... and for a couple of decades that's been true... but Australia wasn't hit by the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-2008 because China propped us up by buying our property and iron ore. I wanted to sell in 2015 because I thought a recession was going to happen then... and it hasn't happened yet.. but goddamn I feel like we're close.
