There are different opinions on whether Australian property prices are too high. However, I'm certainly not selling my property. Would you?Compared to the rest of the world, Australia sailed through the Global Financial Crisis in good shape. Not only did we fare better than almost every other country, we also saw our property markets actually increase in value by up to 16 per cent through this tough period.Why was that, and what is the risk now that the dust has settled? Are our property prices too high? Are we facing the risk of a big adjustment like in the USA and some European countries?In our view, no.
