Having to sell couple of properties now to get the house build over the line after the CBA stuffed things - don't get me started on this fantastic Bank. We bought our 2x1 unit in Central Frangers in 2003 for $155k. Selling currently with asking price of $270k (agent says so, and should get...

That's a nice selection criteria. Good info for those out there who can't nail down how to select a property, or area. Ever thought of (and is there any desire/capability) to start looking more beach side? My belief (and living in Dromana has cemented this) is that beach side almost anywhere...

That's a good result for the time period. Are you going again? We have a 2x1 unit just north of the main hub. I was looking on re.com yesterday after seeing your post, and I could not see anything remotely like ours in our area for under $230k. Gotta love it. We paid $155k for it a few years...

One of the local Franger agents used to regularly advertise a 1 bedder unit for $95k a few years ago when we bought our 2 bedder in Frangers. I used to see the ad every week in the local papers. Now, I have a retail background, and am wel away of all the marketing tricks to get customers...
