House prices to keep falling for years

it's a catch 22, the agents might value to low,But I think they where spot on but due the the limited housing for good return people are jumping on these places to make some money during the boom...

After all our research an asking an independent agent for a value once we did the renos, it would be about 900k-950k... and about $650-$700 per week in rent...

And just if it as a boom I'm sure you would hit the million mark give the size of the house and it's location... but that's just my thoughts...

And this is a good point and why most banks want to send a valuer out to a place once you have bought it... because they think that's market value...
 

????

How can you compete then???? The median price for the area is 850 down 2% in 6 months ... It must be worth alot more than that with your rolls royce reno and extension? You are bound to get smoked by potential owner occupiers and developers with your approach.

But you could have done a smart simple reno for 20k and got OVER 4% return at 700k.

So again your valuations dont ring true which could lead to alot of wasted time as an auction rent a crowd.
 

You are welcome to your thoughts but do not piss in my pot, I gave you examples and the correct info.. to show you what I was referring to.............If you think you can do it better and cheaper then go for it... but do not judge me or my reno designs without knowing what you are going on about....
 

No, you said this was a high price but it wasnt ... it was 150k below area median that has already fallen 2% in the last 6 months.

Then you said you have no idea what its worth renovated as you buy for rent return which disqualifies you from calling prices cheap or exy really.

Its also absurdly flawed buying practice (ie why buy over market for good yeild as you will get nailed if you want or need to sell short term AT MARKET).

Lastly, that place will rent for well over 700k renovated which would beat most rent returns... so the fact you didnt buy and are saying its exy becomes bizzare.

And if you feel like you pocket is being pissed in, its only to the extend you have pissed in ours by doing a chicken little calling property price surges on the basis of this nonsensical example, and in the face of all reports showing falls!

I must have missed this post ... but a 100k gross profit on a terrace reno is not a bad little profit.

Rent with a good yield and sell whenever you want for a profit.

Sound cheap to me but I guess this quarters' numbers will be the best indication of boom or bust.

Maybe you still can't believe those artificially low prices on realestate.com.au after all.

Could also be an indication that agents are finding it hard to shift properties at the inflated price ranges that VENDOR'S want - rather than at what they believe to be reasonable BUYER'S price ranges that might eventuate in an an actual sale.

This one got caught out. I wonder how many others are getting by with this tactic under the current economic conditions?

Let's face it - RE agents rely totally on turnover. If turnover drops, it is no surprise to me that some will try just about anything to bump it up for their own benefit.

Haha Pommiegranite - you beat me to the key....
 
hello,

yes yes what another great day in australia today,

express delivery,

fantastic 68% clearance rate for melb auctions, once again the strength of RE is prevalent, through all the turmoil and doom and gloom that goes on day to day

no fancy companies, no fancy people running companies just plain old vanilla bricks and mortar killing it as usual, ha ha

and you read it all here 18mths ago, ha ha

by tuesday re owners will also get the letter saying the costs just got cheaper as well

hang on to those properties people, take them off the market, sit tight and hang on for the ride man

thankyou

In sydneys north at least, there is no such underquoting.

If savy buyers dont report offenders other agents ALWAYS get wind of it and ALWAYS report it, and the underquoters have all been taught their lessons.
