Hi there, We have a median price chart available on the suburb page so you can see growth for past 10 years.. And you've just twigged me to add a new feature. We have all the data to be able to calculate CURRENT, accurate REAL yield. Might add this to the site ASAP as I think others will...

Hi there, Lovely spot (for a PPoR)! What are your goals? Capital growth? Yield? Plan to renovate or add value? Cheers

Nothing wrong with Wallsend, yes historically it has less stigma than Mayfield and also great access/proximity to the F3 and the new Hunter express way. If you are looking to add value and also want a bit of a lottery ticket (possibility of big future CG) I don't think you could go past...

Hi, We would recommend: Adamstown, Adamstown Heights, Kotara, Lambton, Hamilton, New Lambton, North Lambton, Waratah (a nice sleeper suburb often overlooked), Rankin Park (Beautiful leafy/tranquil area and again often overlooked). Good luck with your property hunting...

People should be looking at the base of the Hunter Valley: - Heaps of mining activity and more on the way. - Major F3 freeway extension due for completion. Will boost towns like Greta, Branxton etc and possibly inner Newcastle itself. - Major port expansion on the way. - Maitland and...

This past weekend just gone saw reduced activity but plenty of onlookers! Even premium properties stalled, quality places being passed in left, right and center right across town. People standing on the sidelines, hesitant to commit. Vendors open to offers afterwards. Some good...

Newcastle and the Hunter Valley. The Hunter in general is booming with mining related work and there is not enough accommodation in many areas. This all flows into Newcastle which is going through a continual gentrification and still really undervalued in many areas. The Sydney crowd are...

Last weekend saw a mild resurgence of bidders. More bidders were present and they also showed more enthusiasm by way of repeated strong counter bids. It was clear they were trying to benefit from the current slowing market by trying to pick up a bargain while everyone else was at home sleeping...

Also just a thought, have you considered Newcastle? We went to the auction of a neat 3 bed, 2 bath terrace house this morning in Cooks Hill, plenty of people present, however the market is very hesitant and nobody placed a bid - was passed in at $425k. Right on the border of three of the...

From the Newcastle Herald yesterday: http://www.theherald.com.au/news/local/news/general/housing-prices-hit-highs/2121692.aspx We are seeing some softening in particular pockets however. Aaron Clausen
