I used to have a timber home. I much prefered it to the style here, but the climate here is different.

I can't imagine the cost of medium to high end accomodation rising due to excessive supply.

But given the success of the Barwa program there is quite clearly a lack of affordable housing at the lower end of the market. More cheap accomodation is being demolished than built, so I can only imagine that it will be the poorer sector of the market that is really going to suffer.
