I've been very weary of Auburn and think i might cross it off my list.Interesting what you say about the Lygon street, Carlton though, seems that once that 'stigma' associated with being an ex-student accommodation disappears prices could continue to…[Read more]

Real estate agents seem to think if they put '+' or 'from' or 'offers above' that you can't make an offer under it, had one guy get angry when I did and never called me back to let me know how the offer went- I imagine he probably shredded it (They had offers above 269k I offered 265k)The property…[Read more]
