Sorry still dont understand your point? These areas are no where near industrial areas? Ahhh maye you are thinking of Williamstown-and we all know how the property proces there have turned out [rolleyesanim] And is you are downgrading property…[Read more]

Well its a hell of a lot nicer area than Carlton and look at the prices there!! IMHO I dont think you can go wrong in the Flemington/Maribyrnong area-I have already bought a few places there and made a nice profit on one sold just a month or two ago.

Unfortunately this joker is typical of a lot of todays youth-they expect to be given everything and wouldnt know hard work if they fell over it. I was amazed when I went back to uni as a mature age student when I was 24 to see how slack everyone was-I was working full time and doing a full time degree, getting by on 5-6 hours sleep a night but I…[Read more]

I agree totally, but we should be all doing our bit anyway, not just because of some sensationalist scaremongering buy some ‘scientist’ looking for a government grant.

I agree we should all be doing our best to cut pollution, but it really anoys me when my intelligence is insulted by some crack pot scientist that tries to get me to follow the…[Read more]

You basing your conclusion on 5-10 years of temperatures? Hate to burst your buble but weather and temperature follows patterns, in case you hadnt noticed this isnt exactly the first time in the history of mankind we have had a drought, and it wont be the last….

Then why has the temperature this year been colder by half a degree world wide than the year before?

I think the simple fact is people are starting to realise property within 10ks of the cbd for under $500k is a bargain!!! Im just glad Im not a sheep and laugh to myself at the people who turned their nose up at me when I told them I was buying in Maribyrnong [biggrin] The place has turned ultra exclusive and you are looking at $600k just to get…[Read more]

Well I suppose the proof is in the pudding-we just sold our PPOR in Edgewater Maribyrnong for a bigger place in the same estate and made $150k in one year!![biggrin][lmao]

Ahhh one of my favourite suburbs Footscray. I love going there to eat or shop…..however, you must ask yourself…if these reasons to invest are really valid for property prices in Footscray

1) “close promitiy to the CBD”….but Yarraville has “gentrified” and Footscray shows little sign of doing so. Simply…[Read more]

Everyone already knows my views on this but I dont mind saying it again-I think Footscray and Maribyrnong are fantastic buys-where else can you buy property 8kms from the CBD for so little money. Sure it has its problems at the moment but so did a lot of other areas in the past, and besides if it didnt have its problem then it would sure as hell…[Read more]

could be worth a look if the trend in the US is anything to go by with the areas like Harlem going through the roof!!!

No probs,

Well when people are prepared to pay us $300k for a 2 bedroom unit we purchased in 2000 for $115k then yeah I think the prices are massively over priced, especially considering how far out from the CBD it is. Crazy people……[biggrin]

Hi Siraitken,

I agree with some of your points as I lived in Glen Waverley for about 6 years and know the area well. I dont agree with the travel times though-Springvale road is an absolute nightmare and is basically logjammed 24/7. I really didnt like the area-to me it was a mass of surburbia-just house after house, with 6 lanes of constant…[Read more]

Again I might be biased but I’ll put in other vote for the Footscray/Marribyrnong area. I live in the Edge Water estate and think its heaven-just meteres from the water, running tracks, lots of parks, quiet and all 8 kms from the CBD, $400k wont get you anything-will need at least $450 for a 2 bedroom appartment, but I think the potential is…[Read more]

[lmao] See like I said-they stuff up and blame everyone else but themselves!!! Im over second rate tradies, they should only be paid $15 an hour for the level of service and expertise they provide. And Im also sick of everyone just accepting their unprofessionalism and saying ‘ahhh well thats just they way they are’…bull <edited>e-I am paying…[Read more]

I can’t believe that you guys don’t see the bargain here.

Bought for $450K2003, it will be around $900K in 2010,(doubles every 7 years) so if you bought it for $260K in 2006 it will go up $160K each year a return of 61%…[Read more]

You won’t get a house in a reputable inner suburb for $300k. Maybe a flat or unit.

For a family home around the 300k range, I’d consider Boronia, Ferntree Gully.

Frankston South (in the High School Zone)

Edithvale area (near bay)

But you want to get a hold of at least $450k to buy anything similar to your…[Read more]
