I can’t say that I know much about suburbs south of the river but I was interested in what Devilcv had to say about Quinns and Wembley.

About 18 years ago I thought that Mullaloo and Ocean Reef were really in the sticks but I bought a great house and land in Mullaloo a few streets back from the beach with 180…[Read more]

I noticed that you are in Sydney.

I just wonder what people in Perth think of the Perth property market at present. Perth seems to lag behing Sydney and Melbourne with these cycles. I have read a few headlines myself but I’m always interested in picking other people’s brains.
