    There is nothing below 450 sq mt and 530k.

    Seems most of the cheaper stock is already grabbed by builders

    I've been hearing from land sales reps that demand from individuals has really dropped off recently. Most of the sales out west are by builders selling house and land packages. I'd suggest it's a combo of APRA tightening on off the plan purchases mixed with hitting the peak of the cycle.

    Anyone buying land would want to be really careful they don't overcapitalise on the build. I'm guessing it could be 6 to 18 months before some of the builds would be starting construction in the two new estates. Valuations could change dramatically in that time.

    Didn't sell em... He got them all land way cheaper than marketed and got his builder to do the homes... You can make money in all markets and he's using his contacts to get good deals.. Nothing wrong with that.

    So if getting his clients 'land way cheaper than marketed and got his builder to do the homes' isn't selling H&L... What is it?

    It's acquisition... Him selling them would mean he owned the product or part of the product. He gets a BA fee to do it, not a commission..

    I don't see the attraction of Box Hill. Just another over-priced new housing area in the middle of no where lacking infrastructure, services and with mainly postage stamp sized blocks. Mind you, like the Ponds it will increase in price no doubt.
    My main concern with areas like this, the Ponds, Schofields etc is a lot of home owners are mortgaged to the hilt so what happens when interest rates eventually rise ?

    For many, small blocks are a life-style choice. I don't want a big yard to maintain. I travel 7-8 weeks per year and I am busy most weekends.

    The geographic centre of Sydney is Parramatta. Significant job creation is staring to occur in the region west of Parramatta. Massive employment lands are going in at Marsden Park and Riverstone. IKEA only setup where the population will support it.

    Someone living in Box Hill will need to drive 5 minutes to one of two train stations and likely work in Norwest Business Park or Macquarie Park ( will be 30 minutes on the train ) and Chatswood not much further. Alternatively they can drive to Schofields and head to the city that way. They do have buses out here ( only 30 minutes to go to Parramatta or 50 mins to the city - from Rouse Hill ).

    NAB's list of at risk suburbs are spread right across the Sydney basin:
