Too funny beepop. I've moved into qnbyn, living here for 10 months, still close to my inner north and inner south activities. Must say didn't even realise that Summernats was on until i went to Canberra Centre during that weekend. Great little house that I'm gentrifying, know a few other ex-...

mmh, we did the BIG move "out of town"...Renting in the inner north of canberra up until recently to our first property in Queanbeyan. Strange...we paid 300k less to move "interstate" than if we stayed in the inner north (based on average house prices), yet we seem to be closer to our respective...

there haven't been any houses for sale and thus none sold in braddon in the last quarter.

there's plenty of fish in queanbeyan

what we all know and have seen happening here in the Capital & Region....:eek: http://www.smh.com.au/business/home-prices-surge--again-20100331-rcoe.html

what we all know. According to this report, Canberra HAS pipped Sydney in median terms. As usual we deon't get much media coverage despite being the capital of oz.... http://www.smartcompany.com.au/property/20100331-house-prices-jump-1-4-in-february-up-12-7-over-last-12-months.html

buy the house we were renting in ainslie. in fact buy every group house my friends lived in ainslie. particularly the run-down dumps on duffy st and Nandoor st O'Connor. Some day someone will want to buy these and make serious CG.. 20/20 is a wonderful thing. Seriously, would not swap my...

He he. :D Climate change and Global Warming is SOOO last decade. :eek::eek: 2010- It's all about the Great Housing Shortage. I wonder what next year's fear spruiking shall be....;)

there was a major deluge 4 weeks ago. we now have stains on our property (the house we are still renting until we move into our our first ever home in 4 weeks)from that awful weekend. sounds like there may have been broken tiles where the water has come from that should have been mentioned to...

funny thing is that if the place was dec (orate) d out with the latest in Freedom or Ikea catalogue pg 103 or 745, or behold....something "progressive" (as seen in "......"insert your fav home maker show on pay TV....mmh matt blatt or orsan & blake) ....it would sell for 50k more. The laugh is...

design tips 101. love the framed photograph in the hallway. says it all..very welcoming.

Agree that it's certainly a problem for many upgraders. I have friends who bought into Ainslie etc 5 years back, and even if they sold after making a decent capital gain, 800k doesn't really get you very much value anymore. So they're staying put and gentrifying their houses instead, upgrading...

GGG1965- i know people that are paying these ridiculous prices for houses that you would expect to see in the poorest suburbs of Liverpool. When I moved to Canberra many many moons ago I wouldn't even rent these places. They remind me of houses around Sadlier, Miller, Green Valley...but...

Hiya Marmalade, I've been looking for 12 months, and unfortunately here in canberra once a place is listed it's under offer/ sold a few days later. Not a buyers market. I'm very familiar with what the market is doing, what's a fair price what isn't. But as someone said in this thread is...

Interesting Craig. Having been a renter for 20 years (but not for longer..!!) there has always, ALWAYS been a rental vacancy problem in Canberra. ie demand has ALWAYS exceeded supply. There will always be a rental market (students, public service graduates, gen x-ers who insist on renting in the...
