very interesting thought Ramzd. The downsizing of dwellings as the empty nesters seek lifestyle changes - and close to beaches housing would be of prime nterest to many of course. The 'soul less' townhouses will surely be low on the list and units with garden space to potter and entertain will...

Just for interest I've been pondering adding a granny flat to my house in that area. Cost around 70k and REA says it could get 200 pw due to a dearth of single person accommodation in the area. Any opinions?

Very interesting ramzd. Do you think this is indicative of a desire for that type of stock in that area? Seaford seems to me a great place for semi/retirement - presenting quite good facilities and beach locale and that would indicate units are a bit more desirable. I've noticed good prices for...

well that's encouraging indeed! Gentrification can only help bed down the suburb and raise values. Just anecdotally, I've been keepin my eye on Carrum Downs and it seems that the sub-300 market for houses is now the sub-300 for units. Seems to have been an increase in house values there of...

I'd have to agree BigBucks - gentrification is in full swing and as you say, properties are being swept up as soon as they appear. My intuition tells me (no data!!) that Seaford is going to become 'an address'. Mainly because of it's name and second because of facility. Despite the injustice...

http://www.realestate.com.au/cgi-bin...=vic&u=seaford http://www.realestateview.com.au/por...#median-prices So who do we believe people? Has Seaford had it's run or is it just starting or is it going sideways?

I hope following St Kilda is not a requirment for investors in the area! I know some followers are fanatical but it's a bit unlikely they'd buy just to be near the training ground lol. Does anyone know if the footballers themselves are moving down that way?

So ramzd would that be a recommendation on selling in the spring of 2010 to maximise on that area?

I really like that area Bigbucks. I saw a State Trustee sale there a while back with something I'd have liked but out of my range unfortunately. Well done. I imagine that area will just increase more. Anymore news on the St Kilda development anyone? The agents there must be very happy if...

It seems from my keeping watch over the last few months that refurbished units and new townhouses are coming on the market much more frequently down there - presumably indicating an increase in population density, which begs the question, what industry is supporting the move to that area -...

Big Bucks the low income profile could be changing since as prices rise the low income people make a tidy sum selling and moving to the next 'low income' area and so Seaford could be 'gentrifying'. If I was a local and I'd bought there at 100k and now I could move to a new 4BR a scant 5 kilom...

Thirty minutes is a bit gilding the lily! If I want to go to the beach I don't fancy a 30 minute walk in the heat that inspired the visit lol, but I agree it's looking good overall. Price differential from over the Highway puzzles me tho. Not evident particularly with the intra-Seaford highways...

Well looks like something is moving! http://www.realestate.com.au/cgi-bin/rsearch?a=o&id=106201094&f=0&p=10&t=res&ty=&fmt=&header=&cc=&c=16603255&s=vic&tm=1260944241 Townhouse developer choosing Belvedere. Is it anyone here? I can't quite figure this area of Seaford still. Is it just...

Nice to see. I didn't think much of the concept plans but hopefully the proof of the pudding will be in the tasting.

Thanks ramzd. Very interesting reading indeed. Can't say I like the design much but it will achieve it's job of improving community amenity for the people in the area. So does this expand the 'preferred areas' of Seaford - this area is more or less referred to as 'Upper Seaford' (which sound...

Has anyone a link to information about the Belvedere development plans or progress, or is it like 'the Marina' still waiting on a local dignitary with a silver shovel? lol

Is there any way of determining the relative values of areas within the suburb, or does this increase indicate that across the suburb prices have generally increased. For instance someone posted that the St Kilda Footy Club development area has increased. (anecdotal evidence). Is it likely that...

Seaford looks particularly well. This could be worth a look: http://www.realestate.com.au/cgi-bin/rsearch?a=o&id=105985700&f=0&p=10&t=res&ty=&fmt=&header=&cc=&c=24311304&s=vic&snf=rbs&tm=1255411674 Opinions from the Seafordites?
