Where to buy in regional victoria
Hi guysI am planing to buy a +CF property in the regional victoria. Finding a +CF is not that difficult in small towns as I have been looking. However, what I want to find out is: where are the good places in Victoria to buy?
I was told that Ballarat and Bendigo areas have still got a bright future in CG. What do you think? I appreciate any hints and comments on this.
YadehIMHO I dontthink you can gopast Bacchus Marsh-only 45 mins from the city and a great country town (though it is rapidly expanding). I still cant work out why on earth someone would spend 900k in GlenWaverley where you are an hour from the city (except maybe early Sunday mornings[hmm]) for example, when 600k in a town such as Bacchus Marsh would see you closer to the city AND with a swimming pool and tennis court[blink]
Glen Waverley is usually 25 mins to city via S.E Fwy. Has a very good quality Public High School, Cafes, Many Parks, Shopping Centre and a lovely train line. It also has a booming asian immigration population. The median house price here is a lot less than $900k………blogs, where on earth did you get all of this bogus info?????????????
Yadeh, I would be looking at Bendigo. I heard that they may be entering a gold rush!

25 mins?? what on a Sunday morning? Try doing that run on any workday!!! Sure its close to the city but not when you are travelling at 2km/h!! I have lived in Glen Waverley for the last 6 years. Where did I say 900k was the median house price?? I was using that as a comparrisson to Bacchus Marsh-to get a house with a swimming pool and tennis court in Glen waverley you would be easily looking at 900k plus where as in Bacchus Marsh it would be considerably cheaper. About the onlything going for Glen Waverley is Wesly college, other than that its just a mass of suberbia…and hence my question-whats the attraction? Yes it does have a massive asian population…and??? all this means is that there are 30 restaurants, of which 28 only serve dam fried rice[hmm]
I’m not going to argue the toss. I lived there also up until recently and it was only the rare occassion when it took more than 25mins. Whatever, I don’t travel with the rats in peak hour, maybe you do.
I don’t have to explain why Glen Waverley is a very desirable suburb. The house prices there speak for themselves. It has and will continue to be a good growth suburb.
I was just a little concerned that you were throwing around facts that I felt were very biased and untrue.
And for the record (ho hum), a block that could fit a tennis court and a pool in Glen Waverley would easily be converted into a 6+ 3br Townhouse site and sell for $450,000 a pop. I doubt this would be standard in Bacchus Marsh.
The value of a property is usually in the underlying land value and how much money you can make. NOT so much how many tennis courts fit on it.
Compare apples with apples, and you may stake some credibility.

ho hum….gee if its so simple then I suppose you must be a multi multi millionaire huh[sleepy2] But I suppose if someone could find the money to buy said house with tenis court and swimming pool in Glen Waverley for 900k (actually it would easily be over that amount), then be able to afford to bulldoze house, tennis court and swimming pool, then get approval for townhouses, then get the finance to build the townhouses I suppose it would almost work out the same as buying a block in Bacchus Marsh for a fith of the price, getting an easy approval, building 5 units for a fraction of the price and then selling each for $350k…..
Good point, I’m not a multi millionaire yet, I should stop stirring you up ………..
Boy, did I get a good bite though!
Have a nice day blogs :0)

You have a nice day to
No bite though-just some simple opinion. And in my opinion places like Bacchus Marsh WILL be the major growth areas of the future. Stop thinking like a sheep-the people who make the most money arnt the ones who do what everyone else is doing, they are the ones with the vision and forsight.
Think about it-if you were cashed up with a family, had a lazy mill to spend on a house whatwould you prefer-a small block in the mass of suburbia with a 1 hr drive in the south eastern car park, or a big block with a big house with a pool/tennis court etc, country lifestyle, plenty of parks etc, safe and low crime AND closer to the city (timewise) then GlenWaverley……
I know where I would be going. And why in the hell would ANYONE want to go to Bendigo??? sheeshhhh
