OK.
I am looking inner north for an apartment - preferably a reno job. This is for investment and lifestyle reasons, not purely investment.
EVERY property I have called about / visited lately is SELLING BEFORE the first home open (that is, sight unseen apart from internet photos or other knowledge). 5 apartments and one small block of land I have looked at have gone this way.
Well, I just found another apartment, just had the return call from the agent:
* First inspections are tomorrow.
* No, I cannot see it before tomorrow.
* She asked, would I like to put in an offer sight unseen? I said I would be interested.
* She then told me they were only going to look at offers TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS OVER THE ASKING PRICE.
So, it has got to the point where I need to make an offer twenty thousand dollars OVER the asking price, SIGHT UNSEEN, if I would like to buy an apartment in the area's I am looking (in this case, North Perth).
* I told her thanks but no thanks.
So, thats Perth at the moment.
