    Which state are you in?

    As to which buyer’s agent is good- it depends what you are looking for. Some specialise in investments ( like http://www.buyingmelbourne.com.au) Others in prestige houses etc.

    Best way to find a good one is by referal from happy users. Be careful as there are some “interesting” charecters out there.

    i am in NSW but i am not limiting my search for investment to this state or even Australia so am open to all ideas. What is happening in the Melbourne market. In sydney many prices have fallen eg up to $100k for a $700k house

    I can recommend Metropole as listed above by Michael. I am currently using them to get my first IP in Melbourne. I also live in NSW and the difference in States has not been a problem. Feel free to PM me for more info.

    Regards

    Melbourne went into its slump before NSW and prices haev dropped in some areas but not by as much as you are suggesting happened in NSW.

    We are locating properties in areas which have strong demand by owner occupiers which means that prices have held up well.

    Having said that it is still definately a buyers market. Time to do your research and make cheeky offers and pick up a bargain.
