Too simplistic to say it's better just because the site is $100-$150k cheaper. You'd need to factor in resale costs and rent yields etc to compare apples to apples.

I believe you could still get better value around the Albion, Ardeer, Sunshine West & maybe even Deer Park areas for $450k for brand new places which in my opinion are significantly better areas with better growth prospects than Laverton. Not saying you are wrong re Laverton, just saying that...

Still is called scumshine regardless of the price lol. Totally agree though re the stigma, it's still there as well and maybe always will be but as long as you back the fundamentals then you can't go wrong. Who knows, maybe we're making the exact same mistake with Laverton?

lol ok, deal :)

lol fair enough, if you think so that's ok. In my opinion, Laverton doesn't come close to Sunshine, Sunshine West, Sunshine North, Albion or Ardeer (where I live) in all aspects but that's my opinion and as long as you can make money in Laverton then all the power to you but I wouldn't touch it...

Better as in Laverton? lol

So if you admit you don't know the area, why do you comment as if you do like you did above? Makes you look silly with all due respect.

Fair enough, to be honest I'm not an expert on the new planning scheme as I got approval for mine in Ardeer back in 2012 under the old planning scheme so we had no issues with 3 on our 700sqm lot.

Having said that, this is wrong. Ardeer is the last to catchup and not there yet but it will get there as soon as people know where it is lol. How do I know this, I actually live in Ardeer and I'm currently selling my Townhouse I developed. Something decent in Ardeer on 700sqm will set...

Do your research Hodge, he's actually right.....clearly you don't know the area well with all due respect. Anything in Sunshine West, Sunshine North etc on say 700sqm which is what is pretty needed for 3 townhouses/units is pushing $500k'ish now or very very close to it. So what's so funny?

Not as much as Sunshine obviously but yes I've seen houses in certain parts of Sunshine West on good land (600sqm+) get very very good money of late.

+1 Can't compare those suburbs, chalk and cheese. Anything in and around Sunshine is HOT HOT HOT right now!

Fair enough, seems as though Laverton is getting plenty of love from people with their first post lol. Or could be people thinking they're really going to change the market there and people will now rush out buy their properties there lol

+1 Sunshine West significantly better buy than Laverton......anything around Sunshine is the way to go in my opinion!
