    Hi Muney, mate can't help you too much on that side of the ditch - i know where Annerley is, I have driven through it a few times, but that is about it. As far as I am aware it is a fairly nice area, but there will be folks here that are far more qualified to answer your local knowledge type...

    Hiya Amy, I have gone and got myself a real job with a real income that is not subject to wild fluctuations as a commission only REA...:p I still consult on the side for friends and a few folks from this forum and one or two others, but I probably will not return as a full time REA - I have...

    yes mate...it is a very tough environment now. There is a lady who is very well known to most agents across brisbane as a valuer and the owner of a real estate training school. She said to me not a couple of weeks back that any agent who is bragging about their success now is either lying or...

    HAHAHAHHA ROTFLMAO!!! Touché Lynn!!:D The north west is fairing ok - sales are slow for most folks and agencies are laying off staff left right and centre (me inlcuded!!:mad:) but for the most part prices around my part of town are still fairly constant. I am hearing of some 10% drops in the...

    WW...sorry for the confusion mate...:rolleyes: as yet i have not had one refused on finance due to val - part of that reason may well be that many valuers come to us anyway to get latest sales figures (i.e. stuff that hasn't hit RPdata yet). Actually now i think about it - the instance of...

    hey WW... mate i can only comment on our office in that regard, but we have not seen a contract crash all year on finance refusal. from my perspective it is simply a direct effect of having a lot fewer buyers around. days on market have blown out in general - though we still are selling the...

    i just posted this in another thread - thought some of you watching the north west may be interested. for those who like stats...here are some sales figures i have been working with today for another client - the figures are all sales for Alderley, Bridgeman Downs, Chermside West, Everton Park...

    we are not seeing any perceivable drop in prices in the North/North Western suburbs. there are some properties that have had to reduce their prices to sell - but when you look at it, they were probably a bit high regardless of any perceived slow down. Our office has sold 7 homes since July 1 -...

    The start of the year was certainly a good one, yes, as was most of last year - now i think it's just gone back to where real estate should be. It is not super hot any more and we have to work hard for what we get - which is the way it always should be. you will start to see some of the cowboys...

    prices haven't dropped as such...it certainly has quietened down though. numbers at open homes have plummeted - though this can also be a good thing as it tends to indicate that the folks still coming through are fair dinkum buyers and not the tyre kickers we used to get flooded with. we have...

    I wont laugh at ya mate!! not in my nature:p no seriously...I can't comment well on brisbane wide, but what i do know well (inner north and north west) is many of the buyers in these brackets aren't relying THAT much on finance that a credit squeeze will hurt them - most have money to burn or...

    maybe i didn't make myself clear enough - have a habit of doing that. yes its the lack of stock pushing prices up but that also has the reverse effect in that growth is measured in terms of averages, medians and means...fewer houses on the market will bring those figures down slightly as well...

    have you considered an independent valuer?? i know there often not worth the paper they are written on, but for the sake of a couple of hundred dollars...if they accepted the new val, you're laughing!! i they don't, at least you know have the expected value on paper next time you need to do...

    ahhhhhh...YEP!!! IMHO, the only thing that will slow down those figures at the moment is that there is a distinct lack of stock across most markets and sales are down as a result. the irony in that (or rather the effects of supply and demand) is that if there was to be more stock come one...
