Guest Lareina Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Can someone help! Been looking at houses for sale and keep coming across for example $400,000 + buyers? What does this mean! May be being stupid but cant work this one out! :unsure: Thanks
Guest carolans Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 I'm sure it means buyers looking at spending a minimum of $400k - so looking at property of $400k and upwards Zoë
Guest Gollywobbler Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Hi Lareina I agree with Zoe. It is quite common in Oz for the "asking price" to be nothing more than a guide pride and to have people bidding more than the original guide. Where are you thinking of moving to? Cheers Gill
Guest Lareina Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Thanks Zoe! Notice you are off to Melbourne, where abouts are you thinking of going in Melbourne? We hope to be in Melbourne by July! Will be on the Eastern side somewhere as that is where we have family, oh and some in the north but OH aunty will be helping us allot so want to be close to her! We went last year and loved it! Have you been?

Cheers Gill Gill... hope to head towards the north/eastern side. We stayed with family in chirnside park last year and hope to not be too far from them! We looked at a new house estate - mernda which was nice. Unsure till we get there but family have very kindly offered to put us up till we get sorted! Where are you heading?
Guest carolans Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Hi Lareina, Yes, we are looking at Melbourne - if we get visa, we're not looking for a quick move - DD wants to finish primary school and I promised to get my current year 10s through their GCSEs - so looking a min of 18 months before we go. We did a very quick reccie last May and saw quite a lot of the East/NE/SE of Melbourne - like that area and we have a few friends there (though no family). Also saw the houses in Mernda (?sp) and fell in love with a new Porter Davis home - though we'd prefer to be a but closer to the centre of Melbourne. Hope your move happens as quickly as you would like (and smoothly). Zoë
