    Strong Growth in Brisbane

    I would avoid Nursary Road. It carries a fair amount of through traffic and is hilly. I would not buy an IP there (and that isn't even mentioning the other downsides already mentioned).

    Strong Growth in Brisbane

    We have just started looking inner ring (south and east) for second son. Went to an open house yesterday prepared to put on a contract. It was already under contract. I have no issues with an agent continuing to hold open houses, because that first contract could crash and they need to continue...

    Do you mind saying where your bedsitter is? I was talking to someone today who is searching for a one bedroom place. Perhaps you could send a link via a PM to me.

    Strong Growth in Brisbane

    Here I am :D. My feelings about Annerley are pretty much as Lynn summed up. My parents have one lovely old Queenslander IP one street from the PA hospital. The parking issues are annoying but it doesn't stop the place renting (though funnily enough, they have never had nurses or doctors as...

    Tracey seems to have disappeared lately. Anybody know where she is?

    YM, sorry to say but judging Seven Hills because you went there "once" is just silly. There is money pouring in and slowly it is changing for the better. Same with many other suburbs that were less appealing in the past.

    Carina is also full of housing commission, but the house we bought there for $123K nearly ten years ago rented for $190 per week, so it was a great buy. We sold it several years later to repay some debt but I wish we could have kept it. It is another suburb that is slowly turning the corner with...

    Strong Growth in Brisbane

    Seven Hills is a place I would never have considered buying years ago because of the housing commission areas, but changes are happening, and people are realising they can get great city views from the ridges, so it has to increase in value. The same thing with the "jewel" streets in...

    I think you can probably get something to fix your dodgy bottom from the doctor :p. Probably best to get it fixed before you swim :D.

    Things are certainly sitting on the market a little longer in my pocket (Coorparoo).

    Strong Growth in Brisbane

    I have been in the Brisbane market with IPs for 25 years and sudden, quick booms are not uncommon. Then we have long flat periods or slowly creeping periods. I would hate to be sitting waiting for prices to come down. Wylie

    Strong Growth in Brisbane

    Existing runway traffic has not held back prices in Bulimba or Balmoral or Ascot on the other side of the river. We thought it would have a big impact and sold from that area as we were under the flight path, and the planes were pretty low as we were on the hill. However, prices have gone...
