Just been to a Auction
 
Thought I'd check out prices in my immediate vicinity. As I think the Market could be changing, only two bidders.... guess how much. It sold about 20 mins ago.

How are prices going in your area ?

Closest home to me that is up for sale has just reduced the price by $60k. A 10% reduction

630,000 K.... I doubt if they would have got much more even at the peak 2 months ago. Although I'm sure there would have been more bidders then.... Very small block, 280sqm but really well finished house.

Could be a totally different market in 4 weeks I reckon, so the sellers did really well.

Should be interesting these next few weeks and if there are any other reports from today.

Had a look around it - some nice features I guess. No pictures of the kitchen because it needs a new one! Balcony...tiny.

Listed here at: $530,000 - $580,000

Sold for $627,500!

Now at auction and I think you will be able to pick it up for not much over $500k

Eastern suburbs in Sydney are currently auctions on steriods. Prices are insane. If your bidding you run a serious risk of Repetitive strain injury raising your arm so much.

This is not far from me, it has been on the market for ages:

He initially had it on for $975k, which was way overpriced. I reckon $850k would be a fair price right now.

A bit depressed after looking around our area this morning. Prices very strong.

This little 2 bedder went for $750,000 last week.

So I've decided to settle on this one: ;)

Looked at this one this afternoon and the agent reckons she has already knocked back an offer from someone for $740,000 WITHOUT EVEN SEEING IT. I've seen it and it needs $100,000+ spent. How depressing.

Looks like a really good part of Brisbane.

I love it. Is it the prices that made you think that? :)

BTW I was down your way recently and talked my way into the tram depot (Prowse St, Brunswick) which I assume is in your area. They showed me and the 4 yo around. He LOVES the trams. Very urban, interesting area with great tram links.

That is gorgeous. Would almost convince me to live up in the city. Give it an acre or so of land around it and I'd be happy.:D
