3br townhouses are going for 1mln plus even in outer eastern suburbs like mascot, rosebery or pagewood...

Maybe i'm a bit of a snob but i would not choose Campsie. Unless it's closer to Earlwood or Canterbury/Cooks river side, there are some nice places near the river but not the main Campsie. Most inner west schools are really good and in top 100 (ie Marrickville, Earlwood, Dulwich hill, Summer...

I would look at inner west, you can still get a terrace that needs a bit of work or a townhouse, Earlwood/Dulwich hill has a few, Earlwood has less airport noise in my opinion... Canterbury-Bankstown is still cheap but going up too... Just make sure you look at the area first as it really...

No matter how close it is to the road/train tracks/flight path it will still grow in value in line with more favorable positioned properties, you'll just have to factor in 10% discount compared to a similar property away from the road/train tracks. I think location would be more important ie...

MightyWill, you can talk to strata, they might have a by low on that ie if someone has installed floor boards that are noisy they need to cover with carpets etc...

I think i'm just being silly. I mean properties on the main roads and on the flight paths sell as hot cakes and what's rail line compared to that. It's a great area and i'm enjoying it but as the family grows we'll need an extra bedroom that's the thought behind upgrading...

Hi, I thought I'd write an update. We've done the double glazing and it helped a lot - that's the good news. The not so great news is that there is a unit for sale in our complex now in similar condition (maybe with a slightly older kitchen and bathroom) and the price guide is the same that we...

Thank you. I didn't know about shopping center in canterbury, that will definitely lift up that area, it looks a bit drab at the moment. So is there anything that can be done to ensure the resell value ie would double glazing help? It's quite renovated already so the only thing I can think of...

Thanks everybody. It makes me feel a bit better:) i hope it'll be a stepping stone to something bigger and better. It's a nice area and loads of greenery so not like it's terrible to live here:) I've heard Canterbury will get a revamp and Dulwich hill is coming up already so fingers crossed it...

Thank you. The reason why we bought something smaller now is cos that's what we could afford and the intention was to pay it off as much as possible with as little interest to the bank as possible (we could have afforded something for say 800k but all the money would have been going to pay...

thanks, we have an offset set up so i hope could use that in the future towards our next house deposit...

Thanks everyone. There are quite tall trees there so you can't see the line thats why we didn't even know it was there when we came to see it. When i close the door i can't hear passenger trains only freight. Freights are not super frequent maybe 2-3 an hour and hopefully it won't increase in...

Hi, i need a bit of moral support and advice:( We just bought a place, a really nice unit, great grounds, swimming pool etc, it's in a suburb one from Dulwich hill (hurlstone park), however with this crazy market we only saw it once, made an offer, pretty much signed the same day (agent kept...

We looked at couple of houses south of railway line in Riverwood, close to Peakhurst and it looks lovely. What about at night?

Is Padstow a good family area? i've never been there...
