    Would any body be kind enough advise on investing in Chisholm, NSW 2322 (Near Newcastle) in the current market condition. I was offered in new ‘Waterford County Estate’a new Duplex Property just under $700K. This is supposed to generate around $150 K once strata titled, with positive cash flow. I am trying to extract manufactured equity for further investments.

    Can the property Gurus advise me if Chisholm is a great location to invest as of now. HTW property clock indicates Newcastle sitting at 12.00 O’ Clock. I guess Chisholm is some 30 km away from Newcastle. I will wait for valued advise from experienced members.

    Hi Busybee,

    I was offered in new ‘Waterford County Estate’a new Duplex Property just under $700K.

    Wow !! Must be paved with gold !! Or I am mis-understanding something…..

    Before I go too far, let me clarify something – you see, I took your comment above as meaning that you are buying ONE of the two Duplex properties. If, in fact, $700k is the price for BOTH, it might not be such a bad deal after all.

    Keep in mind, that I don’t know Chisholm at all, but a quick search of Chisholm’s market via realestate.com tells me that you can buy a brand-new home (4Bed 2Ba 2ga as a free-stander, not a Duplex) for somewhere in the $450k – $600k range. Also, the Median values for these show as $595k. And a 3 bedder from $400 – $500k.

    One interesting point is that EVERY house For Sale in Chisholm appears to be brand spanking new – this must be a whole new Greenfield Estate, is it? i.e. it might have very little infrastructure? Maybe the values are all “over-egged” by developers as there are no existing homes to compare with. I would want a whole lot more background on this one before I came to any decision…..

    Do come back if you can add more info, Busybee – it could change the whole look of things,

    Benny
