Life / An Englishman wanting to watch TV in Poland [51]

If you are able to install a dish you can get British sky tv.
You will need to organize a sky box and card.

I had a card sent to me from uk-satellite-tv.co.uk and organized the box and dish myself.

There is another thread on the subject here.

Real Estate / The current property boom in Poland is a bubble [342]

An economic bubble is when prices are highly inflated above the long term expected values.
Worldwide housing is considered affordable at a price of 3 times the gross annual household income.
Many countries now have unaffordable housing due to the surge in public debt. Australia's ratio of median house price to gross before tax annual median household income is 5,6 and is considered severely unaffordable.

America and Ireland have had housing 'bubbles' where prices have recently deflated to the point where housing is now deemed 100% affordable. (less than 3).

A bubble can only be seen in hindsight though with the correction of values to historic norms.
Adjusting for inflation, Polish property prices have fallen by 40% since 2008. Quite a remarkable 'deflation' and arguably a pop. There are also no signs yet of stabilization.

Whether you consider a 'burst' to be a period of days, months or years to be to bring house prices down to the long term historic average may be a point of argument but the effect is the same.
