OK, but what effect does the property boom have on the overall economy?

Contributes lots of economic activity: building, selling, lending, furnishing etc.

There is some leveraging of equity, but I don't get the impression that its reaching very dangerous levels. Personal indebtedness is rather lower here than in the UK or US as far as I recall.
