I m looking at kl now while waiting for prices n currency to soften further in Melbourne. Exchange rate is aud1 to sgd1.13 now could drop to 1.1 or lower. Saw a kl 3 bedder selling for only sgd 200k n it is 1200+sqft which can be split into two units.

Is a townhouse in braybrook a good investment?

By Jonathan Pearlman For The Straits Times In Sydney Source

Was thinking 45sqm a bit small as well. These days hard to get 75sqm two bedders for $5xxk unless talking bout resale. Just wondering when the govt is going to open to foreign purchase resale. They can always set minimum purchase px rather than hv blanket restriction.

Hi guys , need your opinion of central at south Yarra. Is a 45sm internal n 12sm external on low flr at 355k a good buy?

Not seasoned, actually i am new here. Hv indeed learnt a thing or two by chatting with u all. Upper west side is history now.

very relieved indeed. i have been busy over the past week looking for good buys in south yarra and hawthorn and nothing seems to come cheap. a one bedder at central@ south yarra going for $4xxk for balance units, Lucia also at south yarra offers the best deal for inward facing units but there...

latest update, getting back my booking fee, lost nothing fortunately. :)

Some developers are selling their units based on prices marketed few years ago, says a bit I think.

hi guys, just to update, i have finally shaken off upper west side with minor losses in booking fee. If i had not spoken to you guys, i would probably have gone ahead, so once again, thanks :)

Base px of a one bedroom with no carpark at 35 spring st is $480k which is the cheapest I think.

They probably bought uws coz ppl in SEA are too used to buying high rise n these millionaire buyers probably do not intend to sell. In fact I wont be surprised some may market these one bedders as holiday apartments back home n rent to asians going to melbourne for holidays. I think those who...

Is collingwood, Stanley st a gd area to invest?

Yeah i get what you mean. I should look for landed pty in an area where there are signs of condo development n within close proximity to cbd. I would love to do that, but however have yet to know how i can even buy a resale landed. Your theory is very sound n i know n fully agree, but i think...

An agency is recommending an apartment at hawthorn, he said 4xsm at $3xxk. That seems to the going rate in that area now, awaiting his brochure. Landed in hawthorne seems to offer gd value at $7xx-8xxk for resale but no developer launches.

What kind of property r u refering to n what is e projected gain?

Not referring to cash outlay, my budget for cost of pty is $4xxk max in Melbourne as of now.

I believe in diversifying, I am planning to get a couple of ptys in KL so try not to hv too much exposure in Melbourne.

This is very useful info. However hard to find apts with less than 20units in a block these days. I heard from delta that foreigners can buy resale landed with firb approval, do u happen to know the criteria? I am looking to invest $300-4xxk in Melbourne n have been advised to steer clear of cbd.

Thanks, very helpful thread with real figures to illustrate.
