Re: Website showing actual house sold prices in Oz
Hi, thanks all for the info. I had used realestate.com.au and others however, so many have 'contact agent' rather than the price - annoying there isn't a fully free website like there is here in the UK.
Anyway, I agree it's handy to see what has been sold around the area you're looking in. Very out of touch with house buying in Australia - is it the norm to go 10-15% under the price? I'm used to Scottish 'offers over' where you could go 10-15% and more over the price... |

I just went on that, and after accepting their terms and conditions I got all the prices.
Tried in with different suburbs and clicked on the 'contact' and it just lead me to their website with an email address and phone number. Ok I should have read the page more clearly... "please Note: Western Australian Government supplied Sales Data is currently unavailable on our map search facility. We are woking on having this online and you would like to be notified when your state is online...." |

Queensland. They all said 'contact' when I first looked but when I clicked on 'contact' an 'I agree' box came up and then they all showed.

Re: Website showing actual house sold prices in Oz
Just be aware that you have to know something about the area to interpret the prices. For example, if I look up my house I can see that I paid $330,000 for it in 2004, the one next door sold in March this year for $655,000 and the one over the road sold in April 2011 for $429,000 - what that doesn't tell you is that the one over the road was an unrenovated dump (it still only had an outside toilet!) which was basically bought for land value and has since been bulldozed and replaced by a 2-storey mansion.
I also notice that On The House gives what it calls a 'moderate guess' of the value of my house as being $497,000 to $561,000, which is considerably less than it has been valued at by a friend of mine who specialises in selling real estate in the area, so be warned if using their estimated values to determine if you can afford a house in a particular area. The house which sold competitively 3 months ago for $655,000 is shown as being worth $551,000 to $621,000 at a 'moderate guess' - property values haven't dropped that much in the time. |

It seems there isn't the stale factor here like there is in the UK.

My first offer on any house would be atleast 10-15% off any listed price. Also at the end of the day it's worth what you want to pay!
A recent house I've been looking at is about 10-15% over what comparable houses have sold for in the same area in recent months. It's quite amusing. The agent keeps saying that the owner won't accept any less, and no one is offering any more. |

A 2 bed unit near me recently went to auction for $300,000. No buyers. Second auction also no buyers. Response of seller? Let it out to tenants. He bought it for $70,000 in the late 1990s. 17 square metres outside space.

Re: Website showing actual house sold prices in Oz
there is a Commbank Property Guide app which may be of use as it shows sold prices (info from RPdata). Not sure how up to date it is though..
