Hey Simtr might it be possible for you to give me a quick rundown in Pricefinder on the apartment address they've had (for 1 beds) that sold and the price it sold for? Thats asking a lot so if you don't have time or rather not no worries I understand. Basically the prices sold and addresses for...

If the apartment I like thats going for 470K is still around come January 2015 I think I might just low-ball them 420 for it as I'd be happy enough to pay that. 470 though I don't agree its worth that much as whilst it has a nice view about 40% of that view is going to be gone in a few years...

I keep coming back to the same question in my mind though. One of these apartments (that I actually like and has a decent view and is about 61sqm inside and 10sqm balcony is asking price 470,000 AUD. Meanwhile a place like this http://www.realestate.com.au/property-unit-vic-parkdale-118249367...

@Simtr Thanks for having a look into it I appreciate it. How accurate is PriceFinder or does it have similar accuracy to onthehouse.com.au? Reason I ask is because as expected the building has mostly 2bedroom apartments and 1beds are always in the minority. However they must have sold a number...

Yes this is the apartment building I'm talking about Simtr (original link is back in my first post which shows various apartments they have for sale). The apartment in question in your link though is right on the Nepean highway. I was in that very apartment not 30minutes ago to have a sticky...

Thanks for your input on the thread Y-Man. Yes its a concern for me too as I'm sure we've all noticed there are uncountable new "builders" that have sprun up across Australia since the 2000's. However its worth noting that sometimes/often the big/known builders are the ones who construct with...

whom specifically did the build is tough to answer but from what I can gather it was all handled by Hallmarc Asset Management. Who I believe are now the owners corporation maintenance folk. This group from what little I get from their website seems like they've done few projections but the...

I also forgot to ask when buying direct from the developer what are people's opinions on the % movement on price? I assume buying from the developer is a bit more flexible. There is an apartment for 470k for example that is very nice but i would need that to ideally be 30k or 20k less...

Because its *Frankston* ;-) Waiting for Grand_Dad to make an appearance now. Even though I do think that in the long run its hard to argue a bayside suburb like frankston won't do well (all the others have)

Random question as I honestly don't know the answer but how the hell does a CHINESE site "ksou.cn" have a lot of really decent information on australian real estate? That website is often a lot better than our own ones. Always struck me as bizzare.

I would agree with simtr's comments but I'd also take the opposite view. Beach Side of frankston freeway sure makes total sense. However how long can 1 side of the freeway make gains in isolation of the other side? Seaford beach side of the freeway is quite expensive and over time it will...

Serves all rooms. There are ducts in the roof (maybe can be seen in the pics on RE.com.au as well. Duct in lounge, bedroom and bath. I'm curious though if people think the prices for Kingston Park are appropriate in their view and what ARE the benefits of buying an apartment? Versus say a...

That showcase one? Thats about 780K. It looks swish but in my opinion no wonder they haven't sold it. Look to the right and straight ahead. It has a huge cavernous lounge room that is in full view of the other 2 apartment blocks. Voyeurs paradise. If you scroll down further you'll see the...

A) Edithvale is quite nice but I'd prefer to move up further. Its an area I look in from time to time but so far nothing has grabbed me within my price range. Which is 430K I simply can't go beyond that. B) Regards your question about high rise apartments far out from the city....they've been...

Also not sure if I'm including this correctly but for Kingston Park they left me a sheet with Budget Proposed. It was 272,940 for one of the buildings as a total. And on the other side of the sheet it has quarterly costs for various Lot Numbers. but the quarterly costs from what I can gather run...
