Hi there,
Have you ever even driven through town??
My god, the only reason to stop there is to fill up. Hey I have got another good spot for you, houses only $20000, its called Pine Creek, only 200Kms from Darwin and 100 Km from Katherine. towns only industry, mine, has closed down, but why would that stop you??
Good luck,

Hi there,
I use Emma Mansfield @ Mick Smith Real Estate, Fanny Bay. You will probably pay between 9.5 – 12 % up here everywhere, but I have found them to be pretty good.
Brent2
Hi there,
As I said before, only the last year and a bit there has been roughly 20% growth other than that, growth has been well below Aust average.
Brent
Yep,
And in the news tonight, a 32 story tower with penthouse apartments going for $4 mill each, and both apparently gone. Builders are still building here, they must know something I dont ( ie believe still Neg population growth)

Hi there,
Lived in Darwin 10 years now, until the last year and a bit, next to no growth at all. Up until this year prices had not doubled in Darwin since they started counting in 1986. That may have all changed in the last year or so, as price increases may have edged the medium price over the magical TON since 1986. Though I believe that prices should stabilise over the wet season, there are less buyers around at the moment.
Nightcliff has some very nice areas, and some very, very areas, I suppose this applies to all areas.
You are actually about the first person who I have read on this forum who has said that prices are dropping in Brisbane!!
Good luck,

Hi there,
Do you know who the Directors of the company are?

Hi there,
As you may well be.
Havent seen the latest population figures, would have expected howver that the flood out of NT had been halted by our magnificent last dry season. The build up has started, so it is now crunch time. When the figures come out, I will post them to you.
Believe vacancy rates only 5% currently, will rise as Southerners leave their rentals in the next month or so, and head back down south for the nicer weather down there.

Goodness gracious me,
Even the MODERATORS arguing amongst themselves now.
What has happened to this site so that everyone is now so sadly angry. I have trouble bothering to log in here now, whereas before I used to spend hours going through all the posts. The occasional spat was always a good laugh/read, however this place is now over the top.
Regards to all
BrentIs there anything except southern investors buying sight unseen over the internet driving this market?
Not that I can see/hear.
Negative population growth
Government that has done nothing for 3 years. Countless empty shops and offices in the middle of town. Countless developments going up all over town. Highest rate of murders/sexual assaults per capita in Australia.
Oh but the fishing, you wouldnt believe the fishing.

Ok sorry for trying to help, I will now leave you alone.
Brent2[sleepyanim]
hmm,
I seem to remember them selling franchises in something named remarkably close to this. Due diligence, and good luck( still its only money, hey?).

Like I said before, the person who did the presentation, was he Rob Poumako, or am I barking up the wrong tree.
Please let me know so that I can change topics
Brent2
Hi there,
Check out that an Anne_Marie Donaldson or especially a Robin ( Rob ) Poumako are not involved. This one is ringing warning bells for me, if it is who I think it is, ASIC are trying to shut them down, crooks, they advertised the The Lifestyle Planner up here months ago ( I think it was that title ) when they were under ASIC orders to not raise money from investors, to whom they owe $20 million. They used to be in Grenfell St in Adelaide, could have moved.
Of course if I am incorrect in my fears, a thousand apologies to the people marketing this system

….and I wonder if the moderators and owner ( STEVE ) would see this as a lifetime ban offence?

Hi there,
I live up in Darwin, and there does seem to be a lot of Sold, or Under Contract signs at the moment. However, if it is interstate buyers, and we dont have a population increase shortly, and I mean a real increase, then they could get burnt as well. Its all very well to say the Railway and the increased Port usage, and Govt spending increases are going to make this place the next best thing, however no bodies equals empty houses/units.
And I would just like to say that I love Darwin and you bloody well sydneysuckers and melboubites are silly.

Brent2
forgot to mention, vendor wanted to sell all at once.
Brent2[crying]

Originally posted by Rugbyfan:Why don’t you look at setting up your own super fund. You can use the money to invest in whatever you want. You of course cannot touch it until 65 but if you are confident with your investments, it is a worthwhile thing. My Dad set one up 10 years ago and has invested in property, shares, funds and other ventures. He has made and lost money on various investments but in the long run, he is well ahead. In fact he pulls money out for Mum and himself to live on and has not reduced the capital.
Remember that super gets taxed at a much lower rate than income.
Speak to your accountant about the costs involved. It may be $1K – $2K but worth it IMHO.

Only if your employers allows you to have choose which fund their contributions go into. Not very many do. I wish mine did as we have our own fund, and our averages are well over what they are achieving.
