You shoud be embarrassed to put your name to that post. :eek:

There's no doubt that email makes it simple. Once upon a time not too long ago they needed to be printed, faxed or mailed. Dark ages, I know.

Imagine if agents had to waste their time sending out sect 32's to every tyre kicker. Once upon a time it was only interested parties that asked for one - a long time ago. At least inspect the ppty first. But I suppose it's a reflection of today's society.

It's worth what someone is willing to pay. Don't get too excited by bank valuations. Good or bad.

Do they have $3mil + houses in Sunshine ?

Pieman meant Brighton. Have a look at the post he was responding to.

Dude ? I suppose I'll get used to the local language. As for not embracing self denial about the feral element ? I haven't seen any around the streets of Cliff Road - yet. That said, we went down to the Frankston festival last weekend. Four out of five people had two heads. We didn't...

Sorry to sound indulgent, but I grew up in the inner east, went to an exclusive private school in Kew (third generation family member at that school), own a business in Richmond and have recently moved to Oliver's Hill in a $mil plus, two storey property with sensational bay biews. We love...

I've spoken to a few local residents recently and they all believe that the marina will significantly impact prices in Oliver's Hill. One was dubious as to whether it will ever go ahead as it has been mooted for the entire 12 years they've lived in the area. Apparently prices at Martha Cove...

I haven't worked as an agent for 4 years, so I no longer consider myself one. That said, I very rarely worked with agents in my 19 years of 'commission only' sales where the focus wasn't souly about achieving the best possible price for the vendor within their specified terms. I always knew...

What an ignorant statement.

You're deluded if you think that agents use "bait" as well as spending half their time trying to cook up some half baked plot to snare buyers and sellers alike. Maybe if they don't return calls it's because they're trained to spend most of their time sourcing new listings at the expense of...

I know the inner city market well, which is why I mentioned my situation. I'm also a licensed estate agent and auctioneer of 20 years, so forgive me for having had 100's of examples where owners think that their house is worth far more than they often are. That said, I left real estate 4...

Fair enough. This article from the local Leader states 24.5% growth in Northcote, which is still below the OP's 32%, but it shows that it's feasible. http://northcote-leader.whereilive.com.au/news/story/could-you-afford-to-buy-in-darebin-now/

Or maybe it's not worth what he thinks/hopes it is. And yes, I'm well aware of what the market was doing late last year. Perhaps he bought off the plan, or there are some other miraculous reasons that his property has outstripped all other growth by over 100% in this narrow time frame.
