c’mon kay – get into the spirit. have a go! martin is shitstiring. no need to give him the benefit of any doubt.
yr a mongrel martin!!!
hehe
martin is jenman in drag!
g’day morgage advisor. i agree it seems wierd just to outlaw auctions as a method of selling. but what possible cause/benefit would jenman have in doing so other than for him to geniunely think the method was too open for manipulation? i understand what you are saying but im trying to understabd what angle he may have. otherwise he has fairly wide ranging views on other issues regarding agent conduct which i think are very necessary. does the system work??? i dont know!!!but the fact that he has some popularity means the industry was hanging out for a crusader of sorts to help balance the system…
GOONGA GALOOGA – BILL MURRAY (CADDYSHACK)
are most realesate agents tossers? – yes. so for me its a ying and yang thing. we need many more jenmans to counter balance the overwhelming crap that comes from the other side. i just hope he sticks to what he does best and doesnt try to become somekind of oracle who knows all things about all people. neil – keep it simple! and your message wont lose its kick….
and martin with friends like you – id hate to see jenmans enemies. keep up the good work!
kay – brenda would do what any self respecting teacher would do. lie…and then cover your tracks.
my parents used to swear the easter bunny was real and continued to leave milk on the porch for him/her. its wasnt until i reached 21 that i had to tell them that enuf is enuf. i know the easter bunny is real but there is no way he could make to everyhouse in such a short time frame
westan – heres the thing, no one really knows. big press over here talking abt how the realestate sales figures differ enormously between the abs, reiv, and various other organisations.
last month one had melbourne prices down 13 pct, another had them down 3 pct and another down .5 pct.
as you know its virtually impossible to find anyone without a vested interest in realestate.
for exampl the banks keep telling us there is nothing wrong with the market and it will continue to do ok – sure and there share price depends on it. then you have the reserve bank telling us the opposite, wch might be smoke and mirrors just to pur a curb on spending/credit…
what i know is this. if you look hard enuf for a bargain you will find 20 pct discounts on what the market was 6 months ago. you need to go to alot of auctions, put in lots of offers and they will turn up.
the prices have dropped but they arnt obvious as yet..
but then again the house next door sold 15k above its reserve…so it all depends..
when things are going well people (including wrappers) behave ethically in most circumstances. the crunch will come when a strain (see tension) is put on the relationship. so when interest rates rise and someone defaults, or when the wrapper has income problems of there own (they get divorced, lose there jobs etc etc), when priced drop and the wrapper sees 30 pct equity disappear b4 his/her eyes…..thats when you will see unethical behaviour occur.
why cant you see that wrappers!!!!
its not abt how you perform when the going is good – its how you perform when the going is tough.
thats why we need proper regulations to protect those who need to be protected!!!
MR DOGMATIC HAS SPOKEN!
wayne – is that the same water anaconda claimed they discovered!! only to be told by the govt theyve known its been there all the time…
havent heard much abt that recently….
on new zealand
yep new zealand has heaps going for it. alot of asians see new zealans as a safe place to live. aparently there is a huge south korean population. they have moved there scared of the threat posed by nth korea. the world is a changing. we are gonna see more and more people making decisions based on security and safety.
stock picks for the new millenium

b) water firmswheres MAD MAX when you need him
wayne – i hear perth is gonna be a ghost town in a few years when the water runs out.

baloo – salary sounds right but not the median house price..
you must be from the eastern suburbs
full marks kay!
yeh the summer population is 5,000…
maybe some of these rural towns should build a wave riding swimming pool. i think im onto something….
ive invested in a coastel hamlet that has a population of 450 people. it also has 5 realestate agents – figure that one out!!
since when has jenman been an oracle on ‘the market!’.
he should stick to what he does best and thats keeping realestae agents honest…
why would we put any credence in what ‘one’ realestate agent has to say?? next thing hell be telling us how to make pumpkin risotto!!
my 2 cents is that yes the bush is more expensive but its coming from a low base. people are downsizingn to access captial, looking for a seachange etc etc so there are logical reasons the bush properties are in demand.
who know the whole realestae market cld be overcooked so when interest rates hit 10 pct all prices will drop considerably
i reckon wantirna is great value for money if you wanna ppor. it has lagged in growth behind the surrounding suburbs that have the older cutsie cottage/renovated places – like mitcham, nunawading etc but if you want a 1970’s brick vaneer, 3 bedroon, ensuit, mayeb even a swimming pool then its great value.
the big problem is that access to public transport is pretty crappy. the mitcham-frankston freeway due to open in 3-5 years will be a big plus though and you shld be able to drive to the cbd in 30 mins….
many people in the past and in the future will claim that their ‘financial’ success has been some part due to somekind of special insight. almost like finding the holly grail and everything else just falls into place.
but like someone recently said when we have success we give ourselves great credit. wehen we fail its bad luck.
the truth is alot of our success’s are exactly that – good luck. and the moment we think that its ‘too’ much more than that than you can get in trouble.
rich people, lose everything, on a regular basis, because what they believe was the secret to their success was infact not entirely the case… and when they try and replicate it they wonder why it doesnt work..
dont listen to the doomsayers, but dont believe the hype! dont dont dont believe the hype!

reckon you will see more people working from home….so buying a house with a home office might be the way to go…as ian investment that is
wayne – i agree – i ride a bike to work. not only do you not need a car, you get fit and its quicker through peak hour traffic. badaboom!!
so therefore rather then being depressing it might be a good thing….it depends how we approach it.
