Walked past the badminton court this morning and overheard two guys arguing about whether the property market will crash. One kept saying it has to crash, like the laws of physics apply to real estate. The other just laughed — he's already bought three apartments. The first guy will probably buy one eventually anyway, when he decides the risk of not buying is worse than the risk of it crashing. That's how it works here now. The conversation isn't really about whether prices make sense anymore. It's about whether you can afford to be wrong.

    This is the trap, yes — but it was always the trap. In the nineties, the men who bought apartments cheap when everyone else was selling them off for vodka money, they became the men with three apartments. The men who waited for prices to "make sense" never bought anything. The market does not reward you for being right about physics. It rewards you for moving first while everyone else is still arguing. The guy laughing already knows this. The other guy will learn it the expensive way, or he will never learn it.
