hm..... during recession, property price goes down... regardless of the fact that people need to find a place to live...................... history tells us that already. please think back in the days of 1998-2002 in hk and what's happening after 2007 in the state. population does not go down, there's still demand of living yet price goes down like hell...
what i'm saying is. I agree with you that in general property price will go up in the long run. long run for me means 20,30 years and up. in this big trend there is however small treands and fluctuation. those small fluctuation can kill you if your prediction is wrong. i agree with you that 市場會嚴懲睇錯市既人. those get into property market in 1994-1998 is peanlized for the past 15 years....
