Hi Guys! I need your help in understanding the quoted sell price. If a house is quoted as "suites buyers over $265K", does it mean that the offer has be to in access of $265K? Does it mean offer of less than $265K will automatically be knocked down? On the other hand if it is quoted as "price $260K – $275K". Does it mean that my…[Read more]

So why then isn't every property simply valued by a registered and qualified valuer, based on recent comparable sales, and then advertised at the highest price the owner can realistically expect, based on the comparables, and wait for the offers?

Because vendors are rarely 'realistic'

At the same time I pretty sure you wont be able to get away with a 50% increase, maybe 10-20% every 6-12 months. I'm sure there would be many rulings/examples of landlords trying to do this. Once your tenant is out, charge what ever you like.

A good mate of mine has done a few small developments (knockdown andbuild 3 townhouses) and both times it's been the holding costs that make or break the profitability of the project.
