If you mind me asking where abouts is the property? Dont have to be specific but town?

Couldnt agree more-we have a whole generation or two of people who have only seen the ‘upside’ of things and dont realise that with every up there is a down. The next down is going to pretty exciting if yoyu ask me-people have borrowed to the absolute hilt, as much as the banks would give them in an attempt to keep up with the jones (a very…[Read more]

Fernfern I couldnt agree more, Ive said it once and I’ll say it again it amazes me the ignorance, arrogance and plain stupidity of people from the eastern suburbs. They somehow think congestion, pollution and bumper to bumper traffic is a good thing lol!!! I for one am a convert and I think it is very narow sighted to think people will keep buying…[Read more]

Hey it s true-the tooth fairy told me so there!! [tongue]

Give me all your money and I’ll tell you where to put your couch[biggrin] And at no extra cost I will even let you know that in your past life you were George Washington[weird]

Thanks Hiflo,

I totally agree with your sentiment that you get what you pay for. It is for this reason that I was happy to pay what I thought was an expensive fee, but in contrast to the level of service I recieved I was biterley dissapointed and started to question exacly what people are normally paying.

It was one stuff up after another with…[Read more]

Hmmmm so it would appear Ive been over charged. Does anyone know of who you can go to in order to get invoices checked? There is a ombudsman or something isnt there?

Whats even funnier was when I was saying this was going to happen a few months ago all the so called ‘experts’ on this bored laughed at me[hmm] I can remember quite distinctly some were even belittling me saying property prices were going to keep going up bwahahahahahah

I said it then and I’ll say it know-its doesnt take a freaking rocket…[Read more]

Well after just having sold out of Glen Waverley and bought in Edgewater (just near the Flemington race course) I couldnt be happier. It has really left me wondering just what on earth the appeal of the eastern suburbs is?? To me it seems even more so now like a sprawling mass of surburbia similar to LA in some regards.

As well as having much…[Read more]

I didnt need anyone advice to tell me that the property market was over inflated-blind Freddy could have worked that one out. But I dont think is is the worst in the Western world-that is total hype. Seriously, something is worth whatever someone is willing to pay. Now without any other factors to reduce the price (interest rates/over supply)…[Read more]

Also missing out on this deal might be a god send-if you are going to have to live on bake beans in this financial climate what are you goingto eat if interest rates go up or the ecoomy takes a slight dive??? bread and water..maybe just water?

Whos the one being greedy mate? If you cant afford it move on, thats the price-if he wont accept either get over it, or wait a while for the pressure of no sale to getto him and he might budge. But there is no way known anyone in their right mind would drop 200k after only[blink] 3 weeks

Dont you think all these property gurus would be out buying property instead of making money out of you poor smucks if it was as easy as what they lead you to believe???

Its quite simple really…..buy low sell high!!! As simple as that, now do you think the property market is at a high or a low at the moment??

So many ‘experts’ on here but no idea…..two words that will save you thousands, and potentially make you millions-‘business cycle’ LEARN IT!!!

Only goes to show what Ive been trying to tell everyone here[hmm] Its easy to say a property is worth x amount of dollars, but it is only when you actually try to sell it that its true value is realised.

I wonder what is going to happen when the heap of people (there has been a huge amount of ‘mum and dad’ ‘investors’thanks to T.V/media) that…[Read more]

Understood and sorry if for some reason my comments may have been taken the wrong way. His original post didnt offend me-takes a lot for that. My comments were more borne out of a sense of frustration with the internet, and in particular forums such as this where anyone can profess to be an expert and make outlandish statements without any proof…[Read more]

You say the property you settled on last week for $700k is now worth 1 mill, based on what??? Its worth what you sell it for. If you can turn around and sell it today or tomorrow or even by the end of the month for 1 mill then I stand corrected. But it amazes me how people have the preconcieved idea of ‘worth’ an item be it property, cars or even…[Read more]
