Next to main roads and train tracks

Like many of you, I always look at properties listings,
I have been looking at Sydney west, inner south west and north and north west for about 4-6 months now, and I realize that the ratio of listing which is next to main road and train tracks are roughly 3 in 10, which is a high ratio IMO.

and it makes me wonder is this always the case ? or do we have such a high ratio during market "soft" times (I try to avoid a D&G debate here) ?

or is it because it is such a bad position to live the owner always want to sell,
OO can't stand it, for IPs no long term tenants etc etc...

Can be all of the above reasons, and also that in a soft market environment when investors look to offload some of their properties, they will usually keep the quality ones.

I live near a train line or specifically a train station (about 150 metres) and think it is a great thing. (have you seen the price of petrol)

Quick train ride to town for work or a feed, a few drinks and no cabfare home.

I also live on (now) a main road which is bad, but in fairness it is only a problem morning and afternoon, days and nights are fine.

A REAL main road would be a pain.
