I have heard prices are coming down in the east hope so might have enough to squeeze a boat with the change.

That way, the first property shown will be the latest one entered on the system, etc.

Australian Property Monitor stated this morning that, with the current 0.25% interest rate rise, it expects prices in Sydney to change between -1 to +2%. I think Brisbane was 0% to -3% change. 0.5% will ioncrease that to about -5% to -8% in Syd/Melb/Bris I seem to recall.
For interest, go to http://www.domain.com.au/Public/Subu....aspx?mode=buy to check out the demographics of a particular Australian suburbs (you just need the name of the suburb)

Re: Realestate au.com
Be wary what you read on the property websites. Like estate agents in the UK, Australian real estate agents are prone to exaggeration etc. I've just been looking on the domain website, where I read that one property was close to Marrickville's 'cafe society'. I must have missed that whenever I've visted. I'm sure there's a coffee shop or two there, but reading the blurb I'm reminded of a delightful Parisian suburb, not the reality of the area's slightly depressing, down-at-heel shopping strip.
Like in the UK, the most popular homes are in the most expensive areas. Difference I think is that people coming over here are more willing to consider areas the likes of which they wouldn't dream of looking in back home. Maybe a lack of knowledge of the areas, or a lack of stereotypes or misinformation makes them so?

The best spots in town - for whatever reason (cooler, harbour views, near beach, near CBD etc) - will always cost the most. People in Sydney are pretty clued-up about their real estate and you won't find many bargains here.
The websites are usually very accurate. Occasionally, some properties will show up after they're sold, but that's caused by agents not updating their listings often enough.
Like anywhere, you do have to read between the lines. These are real estate agents writing this stuff, after all, and they're not exactly famous for their honesty and integrity....
