I am searching for a cheap house within 5-10km of Brisbane CBD.
By cheap I mean under 400,000. For a PPOR.
Can anyone help direct me on what particular suburbs to focus on? Indooroopilly seems good affordability, also some not too dear ones at Grange and Ashgrove way, although quite old houses needing a fair bit of work.
It seems to be really hard if not impossible to find a free-standing house or duplex (cannot be a unit, and preferably something with no body corporate), within this distance of the CBD and under the price range, there must be something out there or some particular suburbs to focus on.
I viewed a property which was 6km from the CBD, it was $365,000, 3 bedrooms freestanding house but had 1 negative, which was right over the back fence was the train line. Yes it only got electric trains but there were approx 100 a day, when I inspected it immediately striked it off the list because of the train line but I cant help think about it when the median price in the suburb is $550,000, yes it's on a train line, yes it'd be annoying, have they discounted the property because of the rail? have they discounted enough? I know it would be a bad decision hard to sell or rent out later. But where else will I find a freestanding house within 6 km of the city at a price like that? This one was only 10 yrs old.
