    Perth Property Market updates

    Judging by this agents comments it sounds like you could be right on about two-storey. Any idea how much all this would cost to build and finish with pool? https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-wa-bayswater-118994963

    What have the Somersoft Forums meant to you?

    My husband and I started seeking investment ideas about 16 years ago. We were going to start our own business and it was suggested to us by a business mentor to read, 'Rich Dad, poor Dad'. I had read Jan's book about 5 years earlier. My husband lost interest in investing and I ended up on...

    Split system cleaner - Perth

    Can anyone recommend a split system cleaner for 'smelly sock syndrome' Apart from filters it hasn't been cleaned for about 6-7 yrs. Stinks like smelly socks and from what I've researched it can be difficult to get rid of. http://asm-air.com/airconditioning/dirty-sock-syndrome-what-is-it-dangerous/

    Phones - land line/mobile

    I haven't had a landline for 6 months. I don't really miss it. Have a mobile on $30/month plan instead which includes cost of phone and internet. I usually go over usage by about $10/month. Also have wireless internet.

    Perth Property Market updates

    It's a speckled market. I've bought and sold in the past couple of months. I think I sold at the worst time over Easter. If I had of sold a couple of months earlier I think I may have gotten around $10,000 more. There was much better competition for sale at same time as mine. I purchased a...

    Perth Property Market updates

    I think that graph confirms Melbourne and Sydney confidence is too high and Brisbane and Perth is more balanced. ie a mix of low and high confidence leaning towards low so less likely a bubble

    Home prices compared to a year ago

    You're offer is still reasonable. If you were keen to purchase it's still worth writing up an offer even after the agent has says that. The vendor could change their mind once they have an offer.

    Perth houses are currently as affordable as they were in 2003 and 1996

    Do you think the Reid Highway project currently underway will make much of an improvement for the Northern suburbs? Do you think Mitchell freeway extension further North will create more traffic congestion around Reid Highway intersection? Trying to get my head around if they will be...

    Construction Cost - Perth

    When are you thinking of building? I've had a couple of quotes before (2 years ago) but I haven't totally got my head around pricing. I will be getting more quotes in a couple of months and would be happy to share quotes. I will be building a bit bigger though.

    Construction Cost - Perth

    Building costs for a development site with common land is different to single residential. Which are you referring to? A company that builds single residential May not touch a development site. I've also asked for a discount before for building two and been told 'no discount'. Reason - same...
