    Sold for 1.705m in my neighbourhood... need more comparables but just based off that sale i'll say my place is now roughly worth 1.6m.... which is 300k more than what I've been saying up until to this point in time... equivalent to more than 3 years salary gain in just 3 months :eek: :D

    So, I had a West Ryde unit valued in about Sept 2014 at $390k. I've had it valued again, this time it was valued at $550k. That's an extra $160k in 8 months!!! (41% increase!) It was done via CBA both times, and no work has been done to the place in the meantime. Now whoever valued it at...

    What happened was they bought a house on great land for $860k in Castle Hill 18 months earlier while my sister was on mat leave, and the market was a buyer's market. They had heaps of time to be very choosy, so they got one on wide flat land, over 900sqm, great street presence and presentation...

    My sister and her husband sold their 3 br townhouse in Castle hill (easy walk to Castle Towers) last April or thereabouts for 770k. They were very happy with the price. Two days ago I find out that another one in the block sold a month ago for 835k. And on the 31st March, another was sold at...

    My colleague who was looking for a duplex in Pendle Hill/Girraween area is now thinking of buying a 3 br unit in Parramatta area.... The prices of the duplexes have gone out of reach so she's more or less given up on getting the duplex.... Too much competition.

    "Focussing on the actual selling prices of houses and units you can see substantial variance in housing costs across the cities. Sydney housing stands out as being significantly more expensive than other capital cities with median prices of $858,000 for houses and $615,000. The median selling...

    It's still really hot - at least in some parts of Sydney. My colleague (currently renting in Parramatta) has been looking for a PPOR for a while around Pendle Hill, Girraween, Quakers Hill area (good schools, good transport, good neighbourhood etc) and she told me there's some VERY motivated...

    Look at what sold for $1,572,500. A very modest looking, street appeal less timber cottage in Epping, zoned R2 low density residential...

    Actually it's not as close to the Parramatta town centre as I thought. But maybe they will route the proposed light rail near there? http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/convert-carlingford-rail-line-to-light-rail-parramatta-mp-geoff-lee-says-20141027-11cdx9.html

    I reckon the one in Parramatta' is good value. Why? Because as Parramatta grows and expands, there'a a good chance that area would become high density at some point in time....

    The three parts of Sydney I have property in are all forecasted to go up 10% or more this coming year. That's on top of a great year already. Happy days! I'm pulling out equity and going buying again. But where? And what? Decisions decisions...:D:p
