    Sunshine/Albion for first home buyer

    Been to another week of open homes, why would some house have no scheduled inspection time and rely on appointments? Should that raise a red flag? I been to a house this weekend via appointment and I am not sure what I should take from it having no scheduled inspection time. Secondly, all the...

    Sunshine/Albion for first home buyer

    Thanks for all the replies, there's a severe lack of listings in Albion (presumably due to the size of the suburb) and nothing close to the Sunshine shopping centre at a reasonable price (when I looked on Saturday, might change since lots of agents don't do open home on Easter weekend). If I...

    Sunshine/Albion for first home buyer

    That's true - guess I just need a week or two to absorb all the information and then re-evaluate whether I really do have a need for buyer's agent. Got a silly question - how safe is Sunshine train station? Should I be worried if I arrive to Sunshine train station after dark and walk home?

    Sunshine/Albion for first home buyer

    Interesting to hear Sunshine West rank so poorly compared with Sunshine North, is it because of the industrial area in Sunshine West? Normally what people put value on in Sunshine? Personally I put a lot of weight to train station since I work in CBD, but is it a mistake if I am looking for...

    Sunshine/Albion for first home buyer

    I have been to the area for a look, the Matthew Hills area look nice, on the other hand there's pockets of Sunshine West where I don't feel safe at all. Looking to buy it for primary residence and want as much CG as possible. Ideally I want a house with 600m2+ land for subdivision potential...

    Hi All, long time lurker here. :) I am looking to buy my first home and take advantage of the first home stamp duty concession, but unfortunately that greatly narrows down where I can buy due to the booming Melbourne market. So far what I am looking for is an area that have decent land...
