is it because of the traffic noise? I have got one along princes highway too. the cheaper units are on the northern side of train line.

OK. that makes sense. Similarly, those on the northern end of Kogarah is less valuable than those in the south?

I have heard the properties on one end of the train line are significantly higher than those on the side in Rockdale and Kogarah area. Out of the three Hurstville has grown the most and it is less affordable now. Of course, factoring that Hurstville is now the "CBD" in the south on top of...

I am planning to put some glazing/windows to close of the balcony to create extra space. The balcony is approximately 2 x 3m and the glazing will probably be 2 x 3 as well. I also plan to lay some timber slat flooring over the existing balcony tile. The balcony is completely hidden behind...

the contract was issued to someone else. :mad:

The unit i was renting was sold at $440k, inner city 2 bedder. That was last October. The price was jacked up to $495k for similar unit in the same building. That was in March. Now, the similar unit in the same building is asking for $550k. Must be the FHOG.

Actually my other question was an email from REA really a confirmation? Or the vendor will normally send formal letter with signature confirming the offer is accepted?

I set my deadline to be next Monday. I will start looking for others this weekend. The REA sent me an email confirming the offer is accepted and the contract will be issued. In fact they promised to deliver the contract in person this afternoon but that did not happen. It has been...

still no contract after much effort and accepting no repair, ie increasing offer in a way, once again i am told the offer is accepted. However no written confirmation about the acceptance of offer will be given. Once again i am told the contract will arrive on Monday, but I receive nothing...

Thank you! I think that was what happened. :(

Yes you are right. There is no such thing holding deposit. The REA requested me to put down some money so he can tell the vendor someone is keen, and he can take the property off from listing. The property now is "under offer/contract". However, the REA has advised the vendor now has changed...

In the hindsight, I should not have done it this way. Basically I i bargained the asking price to a price I think it is ok and the agent filled out a form with the amount we agreed on (he thinks the vendor will accept), and I signed and paid the holding deposit. REA took my money ( I paid with...

The acceptance was verbal. I have not received any signed copy of acceptance from vendor.I heard not until the contract is exchanged, the vendor can still sell the property to someone else. Also, I thought the contract is always ready. In fact one can obtain a copy of contract before making an...

I have made an offer and the offer has been accepted, holding deposit of 0.25% has been taken. I however have not received contract of sale after almost a week. I have been chasing the REA but no luck so far. Any view on this?

The price drop is sort of bothering me. If it is so good, why reducing the price? If the special levy is a killer, how often can this be raised? I bumped into another interest who pulled out after reading the strata report. He only told me there is a special levy in place but did not...

You Serious?

I found this cute over 80sqm one bedder in one of the hip suburbs. The building is 10 minutes away from a train station. It is in the inner west suburb. It comes with a car park and there is a bus stop right in front of the building. With just one 10 minute bus ride to Sydney CBD, I think...
