Tasmania – Dodges Ferry & Midway Point

Welcome to the forum sting1
Tassie prices in many cases are up with the mainland now – but these sorts of areas do offer serious 'bank for you buck'. Good thing about Tassie, is rather than prices going in fits and starts – big surges then nothing, the majority of reasonable property goes up a few % each year surely but steadily. SOunds good eh? TO get water views, near to a beautiful capital city, at that price, with a long term view with th option to move in later………… sounds good. May I suggest though grab a cheap plane ticket and get a street map and go and have a sniff around for a weekend and get the feel for the area. Most agents will be upfront with you when it comes down to 'less desirable areas' too (especially if they think they will sell you something)  Bear in mind there are no 'expert forecasts' though – only educated guesses at best. Most agents told us to avoid the suburb / area of Shorewell PArk, , in Burnie on the North coast three years ago. The stuff we bougth in the other suburbs has gone up 40% – SHorewell Park has almost doubled. Please bear in mind too though, that if you are thinking of living there down the track you may want to look at a litttle more than just the figures too! Go for it – All the best.
