Re: The Melbourne thread
Location has it.... Here is why Coburg pushed through the Aud 500,000 Median bracket this week. Plus the council announced plans to spend 1,000 mill, 1 billion dollars by 2020 on local infrastructure.
The 2bed place on less than 390 meters of land up the road from me @ 25 Champ st, went for 495,000 on Saturday, over 60 people at the Auction with 5 serious bidders. Which indicates there may not be a slow down for a while, just have to wait and see I guess.

Re: The Melbourne thread
Hi Andy!it took about 3 weeks to get everything back.We are staying in frankston south for 4 weeks and in that time need to get jobs and find a suburb we like the look of to rent for 6 months, and then decide where to buy.( mind you, i have heard that it is getting increasingly hard to get a 6 month as most agents seem to be tying you in to 12 months)
i dont like the sound of that!
we have never been so nervous/excited/scared etc!!!!landing 14th jan

Re: The Melbourne thread
We to love the sound of mornington, but depending on husbands job, think it will be too far out. he is in graphic pre press and most companies seem to be mainly st.kilda/cbd/area (Typical they are in the most expensive places!!) we cant afford there so need to be able to commute easily. love the sound of pattison lakes too but very pricey. thinking about ferntree gully? we have a 3 year old so will need long term day care (which also sounds very hard to get) and as we dont know where we will be living, we cant put his name down

Re: The Melbourne thread
Easy to get to st kilda from mornington.. takes appprox 35mins by car or if you wish a train from Frankston (55mins) to Melbourne Central.
