    1st Home - Apartment in St Kilda

    Wow - what a small world. You should've come up and said hello... And I'm very impressed at the effort you've gone to here. Kristine, this has nothing to do with me being up on my high horse. If anything, you can put my questions down to the fact that I have never bid at auction before. I...

    Hang on Aaron - they did negotiate with me... I'm not questioning that - Simultaneously, they were walking back and forth to the front of the house to speak to the non-bidder...

    Aaron - the point is that they shouldn't be speaking or negotiating with anybody on the day of the auction unless that person is looking to place a bid on the day. At the very least, this is just unprofessional...

    Disappointed - I was played off against a non-bidder! Hi all - i was top bidder at the auction at the Chelsea property today, however it was passed in. We negotiated up to what I believed was a fair price however they were looking for $12k more. It was frustrating to see that they had begun...

    1st Home - Apartment in St Kilda

    I wasn't aware that it has been on the market for 3 months - where did you get that information from? The RE agent advised that an offer has been put in writing today for between $350k and $370k but couldn't tell any of the people at the open what the price was. I doubt that he is being...

    1st Home - Apartment in St Kilda

    With regards to your comment on Capital Growth, I agree and disagree... If you want Capital Growth, the obvious answer is a large block of land in a developing area. Comparitively I wouldn't expect anything like this from an apartment in St Kilda (especially given that it has already become such...

    Thanks simo74. Keeping CG and yield in mind and considering that I am looking at St Kilda, do you think that a large 1br would be a better idea than a squashy 2br? The reason I am looking at this one is simply because it looks to be a great deal for a 2br...

    Thanks for the contribution PeteB. Is there any gaping area of concern for the area. I know that it joins on to Grey street which is known for the prostitutes, but this is just part and parcel of living in St Kilda I would've thought. Still trying to figure out why so many of them have...

    Just had a look at recent sales in this apartment block and 14 of them have sold in the past 12 months... Does this sound a bit excessive to you...? 14 sold out of 99 apartments...

    Also, internal area is exactly 50sqm... obviously someone was thinking when they built this place ;) There is definitely a car space on the title... I do have the Body Corp fees that were charged last quarter and the latest minutes say that they are not due to change this year. The Vendors...

    Certain... Residential is somewhat segregated from non-residential... they are on opposite sides of the building... residential apartments do not face the main road (Inkerman Street)... What do you think Aaron? I think it's a good buy at that price for St Kilda... As you already know...

    1st Home - Apartment in St Kilda

    Hi all, Just after general thoughts on this property as I am looking to put an offer of $340k in this week... Not quite sure why it's so cheap but the RE agent assures me there is a genuine reason for sale and the current vendor is in a bit of a bind. Section 32 states that there are 99...
