Realestate Website - Albany Creek & Surrounding Areas
Hello All
Ive noticed that whenever a question arises on this website concerning housing and/or rental accomodation, everybody seems to get pointed in the direction of realestate . com. au
Yes this is a brilliant website and gives you a great idea of the style and pricing of housing available
My question is, is it safe to assume that if a property (rental or otherwise) is not showing on the RE website, then it does not exist? i.e every single estate agent in Oz uses RE to advertise their properties
The reason for asking is that we're hoping to secure long term rental accomodation next year (ideally before we leave the UK) in the Albany Creek area, yet the RE website doesnt really seem to have anything which takes our fancy
We are visting Albany Creek over Xmas so perhaps we'll get a better idea (and more choice) when we're actually on the ground so to speak??
Can anybody in the area or in the same situation offer us any advice?
Many thanks

It is a good website and I think most real estate agents advertise with them, however you could also try the online yellow pages if you put in real estate agents and the place you want to live it will come up with a list and most will have links to individual company websites.

You can't really afford to be to particular at the moment as there apparently is a shortage of rental accommodation in Qld at the moment and into the near future, due to very high house buying prices. What rentals that are available in any given area, are usually snapped up quickly. For example, about 18 months ago, the OH and I went to inspect a unit that was for rent and met 6 other couples who had booked to see the same unit at the same time.

I think renal properties are like hens teeth at the moment, I don't think you would be able to secure a place from the UK and would you really trust a real estate agent enough to do that anyway? "I'm sure this house had a roof in the photo!"

When you get here, you'll have to keep visiting the agents (every day, if necessary) until you find what you want. We hit lucky and got a rental where the people had justed handed notice in. Sometimes its a case of being in the right place at the right time. If you keep showing your face and are pleasant, then the agents will be better disposed towards you.
