around my way most can afford to relocate before listing, so the cause is often irrelevant.
JacM – I stumbled apon one of those a couple of months ago. Silly me was just researching the area I want to buy in and didn't get my act together. Someone bought it below market value I see – more than 100k!
D and S – thanks for the extra info. Also good to hear those that have had more experience than myself.
Cheers.
Another thing to look at is the Section32 (in VIC anyway) which contains the council rates and water notices. If they happen to be stamped with "Overdue – Final Notice" it's a fair assumption the vendor is in financial strife.

Seeing as noone has answered your question, here are a couple ways I find useful
*Firstly, Richard (qls007) very kindly will do a free residex report for you. This will have the last sales
*If you are friendly with a real estate agent, obviously not the one representing the vendor, you can sometimes get reports via them
*If you decide to use a buyers agent to purchase property they will have access to this information (although technically you arent getting the reports for free that way!)A cheap and nasty way for a rough historical trend are websites like http://www.oldlistings.com.au however they only give historical listing prices, not actual sale prices. Not bad for a free site though.
hope that helps
Marnie,
If you still want to find out what the last sale price of the property was I can tell you, assuming that information was made public. I have access to Price Finder. If you dont want to put the property address in the public forum send me a private message. It will only take me a few minutes to get the price.
Hi Corie
Thanks for this. I only just stumbled across this now. I have been looking at realestateinvestar, btw. Will send you a personal message. Thanks for everything.
