    Brace for even higher price!

    As I always say, every boom we have new comers (ie new buyers) come in saying the boom keeps going. Let's just say I'm happy to sell 3 in Jul/Aug, and if it really loves another notch up (ie 10%), I'll sell another 3. And 3 more if it runs 10 more percent

    Small townhouses vs luxury townhouse?

    Thanks - all pretty valid points. I'll probably end up procrastinating and doing nothing again. But yes building 2-3 townhouses is the most practical. Building a luxury mega townouse is probably equally as rewarding (or maybe not), but would be difficult to sell in a tough market given the price...

    Melbourne to run more

    MTR, wouldn't be surprised if the median price in Melb has already past $700k this quarter. How does say $730k and $970k compare? Does that change your perspective?

    Small townhouses vs luxury townhouse?

    Smaller townhouses would probably rent better, as it's at that $1000-1200 sort of price range that more professional families can afford. A mega townhouse would really be a trophy inner city house I'd use myself to be honest, and hope it could fetch a lot of money in a very hot market. I'd...

    Small townhouses vs luxury townhouse?

    Yea something like that. Around 250sqm. No setbacks required, except in so far as shadowing of my front houses becomes an issue.

    Small townhouses vs luxury townhouse?

    Building crapper and more would have higher IRR if you sold at conservative prices in both cases and sold immediately. But a luxury townhouse could fetch the sky in a hot market, because they are scarce and there're not many 200sqm plus land size townhouses a few hundred meters from CBD...

    Small townhouses vs luxury townhouse?

    Thinking of building townhouses in a very prime spot (think laneway off Drummond St in Melbourne or laneway off Crown St Surrey Hills Sydney type of location). I have an empty piece of backyard that I can subdivide out. Is it better to build 2-3 four level 70sqm townhouses that would...

    Sydney Market at top - calling a severe correction in 2018-2019

    Distasteful maybe, but it goes back to what I always say. In early 2012 when the market was soft, no one wanted to hear about properties or auctions. In 2015, they're all piling in. What more can I say, except that people seem to like paying triple the prices?

    RBA to cut another 1%?

    Uhh that's what I keep saying. This forum always attracts a bunch of real estate experts every boom. I keep asking, so how has all this analysis helped any of them get ahead... not once do I get a response.

    Melbourne to run more

    Been a while I opened this part of the forum and 8 of the first 10 threads are about Melbourne. Looks like it's doing a catch-up to Sydney. High vs Higher

    Sydney Market at top - calling a severe correction in 2018-2019

    Haha of course not. I am at heart an economist before a banker and speculator. But unfortunately one doesn't make enough money as a economist, so I supplement that with speculating and working in banking. I completely agree. Any country that forgets the basic rule of creating something that...
