G'Day All,
Thanks for contributing to this site which is by far the best resource I've found so far for someone looking to enter the Sydney property market. I've been reading somersoft for about a week, and think I'm now ready to join the fray.
I'm late 30s and still renting in Lane Cove North. Great area, but no way I'm borrowing that much to get a place. I recently had a second son, so we're a bit cramped in our rental which is pushing me towards buying a PPOR early next year.
If there are any worthwhile listing sites that I'm missing please share them with me.... I've so far been searching on:
I guess the biggest frustration with the search so far is that so many properties don't have a price. Others have a price guide that turns out 300k below what the Auction fetches. It all wastes a lot of time!
I'm a very analytical person; if anyone can point me towards raw data for Sydney property that would be hugely appreciated. I'll be reading _a lot_ in the next few months, and sharing what I find as I get on board and take this all in.
The target PPOR, at this stage, is a 3 bdr house or duplex, ideally with NBN access. It needs to be such that we can live in it from purchase, and renovate to add value. I'd look to sell it and upgrade around 2020. As we both work in Wynyard, a sub-hour commute would be ideal (is there a better way to work out commute time than 131500.com.au ?)
With friends scattered over the north shore, northern beaches and inner west, I'm currently looking in a heap of suburbs (below for reference), Cromer has my eye at the moment.
So to conclude, I'm here to learn. Any help the wise folks of somersoft can give me will be greatly appreciated so please send me links so I can research and in time contribute to the great community you've got going here.
