I am new here. I have been lurking and reading, reading, reading, and this is my first post.
I want to buy a one or two bedroom unit in Sydney and have been looking at inner city areas as well as the Lower North Shore, and have a couple of questions.
Firstly - on timing - before finding this site I was thinking that it might be a good time to buy in Sydney, but I have read a few posts here indicating that this might not be so. Would I be better to wait a while and, if so, why? (Sub-prime issue, interest rates, new govt, US recession talk ...???) How long would it be best to wait?
The other thing I would like to ask is in relation to location. For 1 or 2 brm units in the inner city/LNS spread, are there any suburbs or locations that stand out in terms of having particularly good prospects for capital growth? (I have read the discussion on Redfern).
Thanks
