The new Peninsula Bypass will certainly make a difference to property values from Frankston to Portsea. Frankston will finally be freed of the gridlock that it encounters, especially in the summer months. The values will more than likely appreciate once completed and the effects of the bypass...

Why not try the northern end of North Melbourne in the vicinity of the new Childrens Hospital in Parkville (ie . I am sure that you can pick up a small 2 bedroom terrace dwelling on a small lot for approx $650k that is less than 2.5km's to the CBD with good potential growth. May need some reno...

Hi, I am looking to invest in my 4th investment property and are looking at investing on the mornington peninsula, say Rosebud, Tootgarook or Rye with a long term strategy to rent out and have as a holiday place in 10-15 years. Is this a silly strategy or should I stick closer to Melbourne and...

I am looking to invest in Frankston South in the Frankston High School zone. I have a budget of $450k. Which is a good street to invest in where there is recent building activity.

Is it possible that the property values and capital growth in 2 bedroom houses in North Melbourne will catch up with the surrounding areas such as Richmond, Carlton, Parkville etc or will it always stay below that of its surrounding suburbs.

Thanks for the advice, I was looking to purchase in Richmond in mid to late 2009, however the prices have increased beyond my budget. What would I be looking at for a 2 bedroom terrace house on approx 100-150m2 of land in West or North Melbourne?

Hi, I am looking at property to buy and are after some advice as to which inner city area in Melbourne (ie no more than 5km forom the CBD) is considered to be good value for money that may at the present be undervalued and shows good signs for capital growth. Maybe an area that is to benefit...

Stick with Bayswater

I must agree with exstatic in that an appartment in North Melbourne,Kensington or Flemington will show great growth in the coming years, especially given that these suburbs are so close to the CBD. The recent edition of the Investment Property Magazine also highlights this area for good...

Rental Managers Hi Jingo, I have purchased a property in North Melbourne and was wondering if you know the name and company of a great rental manager. Renting at this time of the year is tough and I was after someone that has achieved great results and can find tenants in a tough rental market.

Langwarrin is a suburb located adjacent to Frankston. The prices of residential property in this area has been rumoured to substantially increase with the new Peninsula Bypass as there will be entry and exit ramps almost on its door step. Does anybody think that this may occur?

Hi Jingo, The 2 bedroom single storey edwardian terrace in Dryburgh that sold for $582K was located at the Flemington or Hotham Hill end of North Melbourne. Apparently there were quite a number of bidders at this auction. Do you think that this was at the cheaper end of what you can expect...

Hi Jingo, Thanks for the tip. I have spoken to some of the agents in North Melbourne and get the same feeling as you do. It would appear that the more professional dedicated agents are in and around the Carlton area. I was thinking of purchasing a single storey 2 bedroom terrace residence...

Thanks for your great comments. I have decided to purchase a property before the prices escalate. I have been to several auctions over the past few weeks and it appears that all of the agents are saying the same things that you have already indicated. I think that I will need to act sooner...

There are too many investors that have been investing in Frankston over the past years that suggest that Frankston is worthwhile investing in. The proposed marina, the development of the Kanonook Creek, the new Peninsula Bypass and other developments will see Frankston increase in values over...
