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

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

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

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:

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

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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:

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.
