    Perth Property Market updates

    had a house that was empty for a couple of months, luckily a new tenant moved in about a month ago. gave us plenty of time to clean the place up after the mess the old tenants left, but it was a bit nerve racking not receiving a single application for weeks...

    Builders, help! What should I do with sloping block?

    also consider using steps in the house as a split level plan feature. i personnally think that a stepdown living area looks very good...

    back on topic though, pop growth is slowing (short-term) in perth now, which is affecting rentals, and possibly house prices...:confused:

    New oven cooktop packages

    installed a cheap-as-chips Fenici oven and cooktop from Mitre10 into IP last year, still going good. it feels cheap and tacky, but it heats food, shrug. cost about the same as some of the links above.

    Perth Property Market updates

    not really much more info I can provide, except that the postcode is 6060. your 3bedder in a complex of 8 sounds different; normally you find 2bedders in a complex of 8, or a newer 3bedder in a triplex layout. that said, I went to a couple of older 3bedders last week too in 6060, listed in...

    Perth Property Market updates

    went to a few home opens last weekend in my market (2bedders in complex of 4 to 8). one property had more than 10 groups through, with 2 or 3 lining up to place an offer. the others had next to no one through. not sure what was so special about the first one - daggy, cramped inside, dated...

    Who reads through your development contracts??

    they don't use a standard HIA contract? that has most bases covered, and is relatively fair for both parties if there are no shenanigans. 'course if the builder tries to pull a swifty, you will still have to be quick on your toes (went through a relatively standard build here, but builder...

    Perth Property Market updates

    kind of confusing, because they have reports of recessions and mass layoffs in the news, while on the same day they are also saying first home buyers are flooding the market due to low interest rates.:confused:

    Perth property listings - under 9,000

    reiwa states that property listings are up to 11,598, more than a 1000 up from a month ago. is this indicative of the market edging toward balanced/oversupply, or people finally putting their homes on the market due to spring and the better weather?

    Ebola threat

    i'd like to think we have come a long way with regards to science and medicine compared to the 1300s. still, it is much like a Contagion scenario, might go and watch that now, good movie.

    Add an ensuite

    yeh lol bath. ldry also seems like a waste of space as a separate room - can't you make it so you can walk through the laundry to the outside? you could use the extra space more effectively by swinging the toilet and bath around to the right, making room for a (larger) ensuite...
