Indifference, I do seem to agree with you as well. But the others do have a point. For a primary school, I wouldn't mind. For a high school, that is a different story .................

This is a property that would be a PPOR (not to be rented out). Would your opinion change then?

But I don't understand why someone would pay $800 for a house in worse condition and lesser land and the house nearby with larger land and all done up sold for less? Really strange ...................... although the southey one is in a better location (not opp primary school and no bus route...

Just wanting people's opinions - would you buy a property directly opposite a good primary school and also has a bus route passing in font of your house?

Wow! I did view that house. It was in a bad shape inside! But can't believe it went for below quote range!

Anyone went to these 2 auctions today inn Blackburn North, VIC? What's going on? 1) http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-blackburn+north-106905389 Quoting $650-$700K - sold for $800K! 2) http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-blackburn+north-106896780 Quoting...

I would strongly advise against Whittington. Very very rough place!

Thanks for the advice. I shall check the contract.

Seriously? ..................... Are the agents even allowed to put that clause in to charge us commission if we sell to tenant? The current tenant has been in the property for 1.5 years and their lease expires end of this year. Surely I can tell the managing agent that the property is no...

Hi all. Not sure whether this has been discussed before? I have a current rental property which I am offering the tenants to purchase privately (without going through the managing agent). What are the steps I need to go through to do this?

Hi all. I've got a block which I can subdivide and build at the back in NUNAWADING. I do not want to be an owner builder. 1) Do big builders eg. Metricon, NAtional Builders Group build small houses on subdivided properties or do I have to find a private builder? 2) Does anyone know of...

Thanks M+M and moveaway for your reply. My feeling is that as the property is relatively new, it will sell better. If left for a couple of years with Armstrong Creek development coming, the property would face stiff competition and hence lower sale price. It is a 4 bdr house at present and...

Hi, thanks for that. There is a loan on the property of about $250K. And our observations since building it from scratch 4 years ago is that the sale value has probably increased by $20K, so we feel the growth is slow and best to get our money out from Geelong and put it into the Melb market...

Hi all. Advise from those knowing the Geelong market. I've got an investment property in Geelong (next to Deakin Uni in Highton). I am thinking of whether it is a good time to sell at present? We are needing money to purchase a property back here in Melbourne and we thought if things aren't...

Thanks guys. Found my answers
