It is interesting earlier that many were advising to look at the hidden code to reveal the price range of a property. Here is one that is listed for $400-$500k (data-param-price="400k_500k") http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-wa-cloverdale-116060823 An old house on the same sized...

Nice work chausta. That is a good score.

Depends how ridiculously overpriced the property is in the first place. I have seen some in City of Belmont go for less than asking... but only because they were overpriced. Agents that are pricing aggressively are getting higher than asking with multiple offers. Try to lowball an...

That happens a lot... main roads etc. However, how about this? http://www.domain.com.au/property/for-sale/house/wa/bayswater/?adid=2010948916 54A Queen Street, Bayswater, Western Australia Took me a couple of minutes on google maps to find. Utterly pointless. *** yes, I know it's...

It just shows where the market was at the time. No photos and sold for $612,750. A few months later and you would not list it for under $699,000... and it would sell... no photos required. These are selling at land value. No one cares about the house.

Not if an agent gets a bit excited and starts over pricing. An agent in my area did this and listed a bunch of properties way over market. Even though the market was super hot, they didn't sell. I noticed some of those properties got listed with other agents and some got taken off the market...

I bought something no one else wanted. A house full of junk, 2 sheds full of junk, junk spilling out into the yard, house smelled like dog urine... it was pretty disgusting actually. I also wrote a 2 page submission of how I arrived at my offer price. Which the REA gave to the vendor.

Do you feel better now? ;) :p

Maybe. But that seems like a risky strategy when selling an expensive asset! Let's go to the lowest form of news in Perth to back up my argument... :p "SALES methods that are too sophisticated could be turning buyers off your property." "REIWA Sales Consultants Network chairman Paul...

Yes, seriously! I called the agent and asked for his email address because he didn't get my email from re.com. I know him and he's a good bloke. He emailed through plans on the enquiry property straight away. Maybe he just set up his subscription wrong. He might not be very computer savvy?

The major capital city markets seem to really different. In Victoria, auctions are the norm. In Perth, auctions are quite rare. I went to 6 auctions out of interest last year. 4 out of 6 properties had the property passed in... in an active market! It's far more common in Perth for houses to...

Do you think it is a smart strategy for an agent to list a property without a price or address? If you were selling would you use this as a marketing strategy? Personally, I don't think it is a smart marketing strategy or a smart way to sell a property and I doubt it gets the best price for...

That has happened to me before too. My email got blocked: spam. To me, it's ridiculous. I don't go down to the supermarket to find blank brown boxes with a price of "Let's talk".

Email sent. Let's see how long it takes for him to respond.

Speaking of which, we should start a thread to bust secret properties. For example, this one is 24 Stephen St, Queens Park http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-wa-queens+park-115886023

There is no way an email will even come close to settling all my issues! :p

Does it have to be nice email? ;)

My agent listed my property with a hidden price range lower than the asking price so that it would appear on more searches, so I don't find a hidden price range particularly useful. Also, it's pretty hard to comp a property if you don't know where it is. I can't work out what I think I should...

This is what I hate: http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-wa-nollamara-115880835 Someone is selling a priceless triplex potential block somewhere in Nollamara.

I don't know why this keeps happening. Last auction I went to, the agent (auctioneer) got into it with a group who had put in a written offer higher than where the auction stalled but the agent advised the vendor to refuse the offer. Written offer was $950k and auction stalled at $940k. Property...
