QLD Brisbane Property 2017

Hahaha I'm not interested , I am a west side man

 

Given the acrow props, some sort of structural problem...termites??

 

Corner of Nellie and Bligh Streets, so be sure to check the flood maps.

 

Working pit green lit for new development - Quarry Magazine: Quarry Mining and Aggregate News

Looks good and with Bunnings opening next year keperras solid run should continue fingers crossed.

 

I always wonder where people come up with these crazy distances from the city. The article states the quarry is 8.5km from the cbd. It was like rochedale real estate ads often say it's 12km from the city lol. I realise as the crow flies is less than driving distance however some of the claims out there are crazy

Brisbane's Mega Zipline Proposal Ready to Fly Across Coot-tha Tree-tops

 

@Patrick Bateman its 12.5km by road so I’m guessing 8.5km as the crow flies would be pretty correct.

 

Seems like a big differential and I would not have considered Keparra as a suburb within 10km of the city however I am more commenting about how you see real estate agents push the limits of truth with their distances to cbd and travel time claims

 

Lol maybe I need reading glasses - a quick glance of the photos this morning and I thought the silver poles in the basement were acrow props. On that basis, I am wondering what's 'wrong' with it. I'm sure it needs a reno to the units but that aside....?

 

You would have to be keen to buy a block of units at the moment full stop. Imagine trying to rent one yet alone several old style units when you are competing with so many developers desperate to rent out brand new stock...

 

Agree. Wouldn’t touch it. But I’ll be damned if that description didn’t make me curious as to what the ‘big’ problem is!

 

Absolutely. It looks compelling as a long term strategy at face value, but would have to run the numbers in terms of when this type of stock will be desirable at this point of the cycle. I think that suburb in general is well located for the airport expansion, good transport links, proximity to educational instos, retail areas and from my understanding, improving employment nodes/reducing commercial vacancies. Also great that the state govt is spending big coin on the area.

 

Yeah, quoting such figures should be illegal. It's about 15km by quickest route!

Also need to consider during peak hour, traffic is quite bad down Samford Rd, add enough from such new developments, as well as all the other houses going in Upper Kedron, and it's only going to get much worse.

 

Looks pretty cool, nice little touch however queens wharf will hopefully be the big game changer in terms of increasing tourism numbers ! If the Roma st live development also happens the city should really come of age .

 

Check out this Milton property.
Just white paint & some new lights $290k gain in 1 year. Well and a bit gardening.
Best flip of 2017?

27 Nairn St, Milton

 

No surprise here. Inner ring, high demand homes always have wealthy people in a position to buy and they do.

 

Investors set Brisbane in their sights, attracted by prospects of steady growth

 

Change in Median price from 30.06.2016 - 30.06.2017.

And some people say Brissy has had pitiful growth to date. And I can think of many more suburbs that have had pretty decent growth (upto 35%) over the last 3 years. No boom but 'boom' seems to be a buzz word these days. Like we all only should invest when its booming times? Mmmm hm.
