I'm hoping this forum is still active.. Shame it's being closed down just as I've joined.. If I buy a house through the AH program, will the bank ever value the place higher than the price I pay? I was just thinking maybe I'd have a larger deposit /lower LVR than expected. Thanks all.

Hi all, long time lurker, first time poster, this seemed to be an appropriate thread. Hoping to get some good advice for my first purchase! What do people think of the Modbury area? I'm thinking of going for a PPOR there with 600+ sqm ~$300k. Redwood Park is a bit cheaper, and I also like...
