Just sold it in a week for $511,000. What a difference a year can make hey….glad we decided to wait in the end! Sydney is certainly a sellers market at the moment…

We had a good agent. I know Catylst there is the chance it will go up even more but we just didnt want to miss this opportunity. I certainly wish I bought more in the inner west 5 years ago I would be retiring to !

The unit was our first home and it definitely will appeal to this market. We looked into selling when the government ended stamp duty concessions and were told we may get 450,000 then so there was certainly a spike. Its gone back down again now but I think there will be a few more…[Read more]

I do think there could be some issues as the common fence on the property has fallen down and not been fixed yet. The unit may need an update but we are looking at about $10,000 to do bathroom and kitchen and I am not sure if it will increase the rent significantly. The unit also has courtyard which…[Read more]

I think it is a bad time to be looking for tenants in winter. I am going to fly down on sat to some open homes to see what we are up against in the rental market and sales. There is alot for rent but…[Read more]

Was tossing up between here and Blackwater. Decided on Collinsville as the entry price was a lot lower for a house. The last few months has seen an increase in sales in collinsville so pretty happy with our decision. Only thing is like any mining…[Read more]

I have a few investment properties but just bought my PPOR in Highland Park just down the road from Coomera. We just purchased a 3 bedroom house for $270,000. We would get $350 – $400 rent. The only reason we bought is that the repayments are less then renting.There are much better…[Read more]

There looks like there are some shody houses there though! Thanks for the info engelo has given me some food for thought.

I dont think it is going to be the next Mornabah but I do think there is some potential .

BMA wants to fly in fly out from Gold Coast airport and the airport has secured the tiger airways terminal for FIFO flights.http://www.goldcoast.com.au/article/2011/07/28/336331_gold-coast-business.html

I am having the same problem trying to find sales prices in northern nsw on realestate.com.au

Will be interesting to see what happens. Better cross fingers Liberals get back in…..unless of course you have invested on the Gold Coast where they desperatley need some good news!http://www.goldcoast.com.au/article/2011/07/20/333891_gold-coast-business.html

The concern is that the new mines are looking to have a 100% FIFO workforce. Meaning people will be living in camps set up by the mines.http://www.cqnews.com.au/story/2011/04/01/meeting-validates-the-fifo-concern/This may or may not happen and may or may not have an effect. Just do your research

Seems prices have been on a downward trend and there are alot of properties available for rent. Heard there is a new mine close to approval but sees this does not seem to be having any upward affect on prices yet.Mel

Gives me two options to think about. I think its time to sit with an account and work out what will be best.Thanks again
