Mt Tamborine and surrounding area is generally considered a life-style destination for those who seek a 'green change'. Young families and retirees are attracted to the area. I'm not an expert but have observed that the real estate market seems to follow the ups and downs of the Gold Coast...

Beat you......34.8% land valuation increase on our property in Rochedale South....higher council rates coming up :eek: AnneDe

Bought PPOR at Mt Tamborine (Eagle Heights) in 2009. It was a lifestyle choice as the area is beautiful, clean, green, almost crime free and cooler than Brisbane and Gold Coast. Commute by car to Bris CBD is just over an hour and Cold Coast approx half an hour or less depending where you want to...

Have used 'Toowoomba City Realty' ...........an independent real estate agency to manage our rental property located just outside Toowoomba. We have been with them for several years and found them to be efficient and professional. Their web site: http://www.tcrealty.com.au/index.htm Cheers, AnneDe

Definitely.....shift work in evenings and weekend work..........am just taking a break from checking and giving feedback on numerous high school student assignment drafts that have been emailed and handed in. Will probably have another 2 dozen to do on weekend. This type of 'out of school...

Hmmm......the stereo types described by csc do exist in Beenleigh to a certain degree, as they also do in other so called 'well-heeled' suburbs. They are actually outnumbered by other types of property owners and renters - ranging from professionals to service and blue collar workers, who...

I feel for the people that are suffering from storm damage. We live on southside and have so far been fortunate to miss any significant damage. Watching the black clouds roll in once again, Hubby decided tonight to go to local Mitre 10 hardware to buy 2 big tarps to use as emergency roof...

Hi evand Did plenty of research into the area and was satisfied with below bank valuation (giving instant equity) and below medium value purchase price of $335,000, as long term prices are likely to trend upwards again. Had previously bought a property in Rochedale South 20 years ago for...

Settled 2 weeks ago on a renovated 3 bedroom brick and tile house in Rochedale South. After researching and watching the market there for quite a while, the discounted purchase price of $335,000 provided instant equity. Was keen to purchase in this suburb about 12 months ago, but prices were...

Had to ring home loan center this afternoon for one of the major banks regarding an existing IP loan query and was told to 'ring back later' before being cut off numerous times, due to high volumes of callers. When I eventually got through this evening to a person, not a recorded voice, she...

Go the Southside Just settled on IP 2 located in Rochedale South. Was watching market in this area closely and was waiting for downward movements of price. Picked up an 'undervalued' renovated brick & tile house - 3 Bedroom, 1 bathroom, double carport on 780+ sqm block of land for $335,000...

smartmoney, many people CHOOSE to live in the outer suburbs and not in the inner city ring for various reasons as follows: * They work locally (no need to commute in peak hour traffic to CBD) * More green space * Less pollution (air, noise, light, traffic, industry etc.) * Bigger individual...
