RE:">Japans real estate market has been declining for about 12 years and they haven't been making any more land either.
you said...
-I don't know why realtors like to use the "ain't making any more land" sales pitch.

I think the first statement refutes the second which was my point...and yours too!

RE:"Did anyone know that Australia, a country roughly the same size of continental US but with only 1/10th of the population, is also experiencing unbelievable real estate price appreciation? I hope realtors there won't use the same "ain't making any more land" excuse!"

au contraire! any Aussie real estate agent would point out that the land is unihabitable just a short distance from the coast. Ay Mate, they call it the outback.
