    Hi all,

    Does anyone have any knowledge of how Geelong sales have gone recently?  eg say a property is advertised for between $A and $B, roughly where the range becomes the achieved price?

    Thankyou

    I know some areas of Geelong quite well as we bought there recently.

    A couple of examples:
    Quoted $330k+. Sold for $370k
    Quoted mid 3's. Sold for $430k
    Quoted around $400k, sold for $435k

    Generally if you are prepared to pay 10-15% above the quoted price, you should be in the game. Some agents quote prices more accurately than others of course.

    I noticed the weekend we bought at auction (8th May), there was a number of auctions that went below what they would have gone for a few weeks earlier. I figured the interest rate rises were starting to scare people off. The numbers of people bidding also seemed to be dropping.

    Let me know if you have any specific places you would like me to comment on.

    Hi Benno

    That's a great help – thankyou for your reply :-)  Do you know much about the activity in Newcomb, Whittington, Corio and Norlane?

    I know those areas but don't have a great feel for prices there. I would say Corio and Norlane prices are going to be pretty flat over the years as it is a less desirable area.
    Are you looking at an IP or PPOR?

    I think Newcomb and some parts of Whittington have better scope for growth and thats where I'd be looking.
