    I am looking to purchase an owner-occupier sometime in 2008. My main concern is not to overpay for the property. So far I have been following the market and doing what research I can.

    In terms of research, do you have a recommended source, either on the internet or hardcopy, for checking property values in an area? I am willing to pay for it, as long as it's worth it. There seems to be some stuff available through the Australian Property Monitors website.

    If you use a particular source I'd appreciate your comments. Thanks.

    Here is one FREE tip that works ALL the time:

     

    DEMAND a print out of the latest property transactions from the selling agent, they are all subscribed to RP Data, Homepriceguide, etc. Tell them to give you a Radius/street search so you can see what REAL comparables are selling for. If they say no, take your business somewhere else.

    Happy Investing
