bought in Brisbane - $256,000
Hi,
We have just had an offer accepted to purchase a 2 bedroom spacey unit with a large balcony for $256k located in East Brisbane.
It is located 8 minutes walk from the Mowbury city cat and is very quiet, tucked off the major road.
What worries me a bit is that they accepted without negotiating! It was advertised at $270k and $256k was our first offer.
Do you think I should have come in lower....getting shaky...mixed emotions.
all the best,
Jay

With your offer, they could have come back with a figure of $260k, and if you had decided against it they could easily have lost you as a buyer. But accepting your offer meant that you were commited, subject to your clauses, and therefore they had a pretty definate sale.
Did you put in a clause subject to finance and inspections?
Remember to get building and pest inspections done within 5 days !!

thanks for your reply
yes,
subject to finance ("of purchasers choice")
and inspection
within 2 weeks
Also subject to me being happy with the body coporate disclosure content by tuesday next week. The BC manager has been stalling...the estate agents said that they thought he wanted to buy the unit. I'm going to sack him when I'm the new owner!

. I agree with ABC, I think that they probably put $10k more on it than they were wanting anyway & probably had about $255-260k in mind as what they would accept. Especially as the unit market near the city is a little slower than the rest of the market, I think they probably just decided "stuff it" & took it. As ABC said, make sure you're happy with your clauses & you'll be right.
Well done, make sure you give the BC manager hell when you have the housewarming

Congratulations!
That's the exact sort of property and price range I'll be looking for when I get there. Whats it like? Any chance of a pic or is it on the real estate website anywhere?

Jay,
I forgot to say Congratulations earlier.
I do forget little things like that when my business brain gets into gear

Always dicey making offers on property specially so close to the cbd, i think you did right, when we put a couple of offers in on some property, we got knocked back, aussies never seem in a huge rush to sell, and theres always another buyer looming, + you can now use that old aussie LEVER, demand a moving date !
