During the GFC 2008, house prices in the UK fell by 20 % over the period of 12 months , Bitcoin can lose 20 % of its value within minutes 

Property prices didn't go down to zero anywhere 

In the US lots of people walked away. The mortgage was higher than land value. I knew a guy who bought a house for $40,000, then sold it for $200,000.

town in Australia's Queensland is giving away free land via government grants in a bid to boost housing.

Yes, interest rose and they couldn't afford the mortgage repayments , same thing could very well happen again soon with interest rates rising again .

   But the property value didnt go down to zero ,

In the UK, you buy the land and house together as one thing , they don't have separate prices and thus the price for the land and house are the same and it didn't go to zero

40,000 is what the land is worth. House free.

 

Houses depreciate every year. After 40 years they are worthless without maintenance. They fall apart.

 

Materials rust and rot.

UK houses lose value. Land goes up. UK houses get maintenance. No UK house 200 years old and liveable has not had maintenance.

 

 

[Sparktrader]

Sydney has $3m houses that are rubbish. Barely liveable no garage and tiny. The value is the land.

 

In Tamworth a house and land deal might be $300,000 awesome house.

 

If you cannot understand this I cant explain it anymore.

A house built on land is one price , they aren't two separate prices and you cannot buy one without the other .

   Yes, houses need constant maintenance , every house in the world needs to be maintained  , otherwise they fall into neglect and disrepair 

   U.K house price cost "losing value"

By definition houses lose 2.5% a year flatline depreciation.

Irrevalent. The house goes from 150k pounds to zero over 40 years without maintenance. The land goes from 150k pounds to 1.2m pounds over 40 years.

 

Start price 300k

End 1.2m

 

Why do you think developers buy old rubbish houses then bulldoze them? Cause the land is worth millions

Are you in Australia ?

Did you look at my graph upside down ?

In the U.K it shows the graph going in a upward direction 

The price is appreciating and NOT depreciating

Land goes up 7.5%

House goes down 2.5%

Net gain 5%

 

This is how real estate works worldwide.

While property prices have stagnated, dipping 0.2% from last quarter, residential land values have risen by as much as 15% in some UK cities.

So, why don't you go and move into one of those "free" houses ?

House and land prices are the same one price and that one price will be more if the house is maintained

Land is about location.

That is the location, popular locations are more expensive than the not so popular locations .

   You cannot just buy the house in Sydney without also buying the land

Land is location. Houses depreciate by definition. 

 

Sydney homes for $3m can easily be 95% land value 5% house. Many houses are rubbish. 

 

A Tamworth home for $300,000 is 65% house 35% land.

Yes, there have been interest rates hikes recently and probably some more to come and people are having difficulties repaying their mortgage and property prices could lower even further .

Why not just buy the house then and not bother buying the land the house sits on ?

   Just go and "buy" a free 40 year old house and not bother buying the land ?

   You cannot do that because the house and land price are the same one price and you cannot separate them

That makes no sense. People buy the land and get a cheap house.
