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 ?

Re: Just been to a Auction
 

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

Re: Just been to a Auction
 

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!

Re: Just been to a Auction
 

Wow thats nice eh :)

Re: Just been to a Auction
 

For a little while there I thought that was the 1 bedroom price :blink: Still prices staying firm down in St Kilda !

Wonder if it really is quietening down ?

Re: Just been to a Auction
 

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

Re: Just been to a Auction
 

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.

Re: Just been to a Auction
 

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.

Re: Just been to a Auction
 

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: ;)

Re: Just been to a Auction
 

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.

Re: Just been to a Auction
 

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.

Re: Just been to a Auction
 

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

Re: Just been to a Auction
 

The acre of land around it has roughly 7 cafes, 6 clothes shops, 3 book shops and brisbane's largest antique centre :thumbsup: Far more versatile than a paddock :D

Re: Just been to a Auction
 

But I wouldn't have it to myself. I'd have to share it with members of the public :eek::lol:

Re: Just been to a Auction
 

I now have an image of you standing alone in a paddock with a big grin on your face. Me, I'll take the cafe and a good book. :lol:

Re: Just been to a Auction
 

Prices still hot here.
This was sold 2 weeks ago. Advertised at around mid $500s. Sold for $667k :eek:
In our street! :blink:

Re: Just been to a Auction
 

This would be ideal for us as our oldest boy goes to Spring Road Kindy - would need to drop to $600k first though!!

Re: Just been to a Auction
 

I'd love to know how much that one goes for, its beautiful

Re: Just been to a Auction
 

I'll try to remember to post the numbers from next week... assuming it goes.

Re: Just been to a Auction
 

cheers

Re: Just been to a Auction
 

I'm selling in Canberra at the moment - hope the prices hold steady there for the time being.

Re: Just been to a Auction
 

nice house , nice area:) shame about the price:unsure:

Re: Just been to a Auction
 

are you teasing me again with your rumours of price drops:lol:

2 bedroom unit in Glen Waverley would do me, but nothing under 400,000 for that!

Re: Just been to a Auction
 

Small world eh. I've been in this house and I'm not that keen on it - too much dark wood and old fashioned for my taste.

I wouldn't buy it.

Re: Just been to a Auction
 

We are still pinching ourselves that we managed to get our house (at Christmas time) for under $515k, since every other house for sale in the street has sold for over $550k in the last few months... And no, we did not buy a lemon :lol:

Re: Just been to a Auction
 

I reckon this coming weekend will be a good indicator.

I dont think there are as many frantic buyers out there now. In fact I'm sure there isn't.

Not sure whether prices will go backwards in a hurry though, maybe just stay put or drop very slightly. Definitely more rentals around, as the people in the sold house in our area, reckon thats the only bonus to them in having to move, is a much better rental market.. They are going to move to Preston to be nearer the Chinese and other Asian restaurants in High St, plus more music venues there, and expect to save maybe 20 to 30 bucks per week.
