@Edgebotv4 demands will increase as an economy developments, thats the wonder of a developing economy. Empty dwelling in west is a problem because the demand is usually stagnant.

To eliminate speculative buying with borrowed money, I think all profits should go to government when a property changes hands if the property was first purchased with loans from banks. This alone could eliminate most speculators from driving up the prices in the first place.

@nawkrm: I think for second home purposes, there should be a requirement as follows: you had to be able to afford the first home COMPLETELY BY CASH, and this one must also be paid 100% BY-CASH.

but thankfully mainland has avoided US problems - people buying homes with non-existent money

Normally it's 20% in average. The major problem is that many people are buying as speculuative investment. They just want to flip properties for profits. The bubble is not defined by the downpayment, its defined by % of speculative buyers. So when the bubble bursts, it brings down the banking system and the economy because majority of speculative purchases are financed by banks.
