    Frank where are you looking to purchase?

    There's a couple of Sydney BAs here.

    I need to buy a family home about a 20 min drive from Roselands.. So say Padstow, Revesby, maybe on the M5 going towards Liverpool. But I want to try to spend less than $950k tops..Duplex perhaps?

    Also, I need to try to buy an investment property anywhere in Sydney West where I can build a granny flat for dual rents.. Quakers Hill? Blacktown? etc.. But I don't want this to cost more than $950k (house + granny) .. But at the same time I'd like to buy in an area that has the best CG for my criteria.. Hence the need for a BA. I don't have the time to investigate all this :(

    I'd look at Wentworthville, Pendle Hill, Toongabbie for that budget. You may be able to get 700sqm with this. However it will be an old house with potential to build a granny flat..

    Lets say I have been looking around in Sydney.......in the apartment scene lots of nervous smaller developers trying to clear their stock.

    They are "apparently" selling "developer" withheld stock for 10% less...code for buyer could not finance lost his deposit an needs to sell before the nervous Gen Y screen jockeys bank finds out and pull the development funding.......dems the breaks....great time to be swimming in the pond looking for prey..only trickle of blood.....wait till 2018-2019...should be interesting in Sydney.....

    Thank
    Thanks ladies for the vote of confidence :D

    @Frank Manno happy to help with your enquiry in Quakers Hill area. Have helped multiple clients in this area in the past 12 years and know it intimately. Can't help with Roselands area however as we don't stretch that far south. Feel free to send us an enquiry via our wishlist on our Contact Us page if interested.

    Re: areas. Ultimately it needs to be your decision as to what areas to purchase in however and as per @Danny370z has noted, past growth in Quakers Hill has been strong and certainly helped by the surrounding dvpt of Schofields/Riverstone and Syd Metro train line at Rouse Hill/Cudgegong. Still affordable (by Sydney standards at least) but good stock does sell quickly. Good luck.

    To be honest...do your own research....the Sydney market is tanking...relying on a BA to get a property is very silly in particular Marden Park, Schofields, Box Hill, Quakers Hill, etc....these are declining markets.

    Be very careful a lot of BAs have vested interests.....

    Can you help me . Why would one buy in Schofield's.
    It's in the middle of nowhere with near unlimited supply of Greenfield sights and prices are up to a million. Even Ponds. I know a few that purchases $1.4 million 1.3 now loosing 200k. .

    That far North West is going to danger territory in my opinion.

    What about a left field.

    What about East Hills. It's got Train Parks. 25 minutes drive and you are at Cronulla. Train to city?

    You are correct here....a lot of Indian Immigrants, China, and Phillipines got into these areas. Some have overpaid by a country mile.

    The NW is in real danger territory...and a lot of BAs who have placed people there are not letting people now as this is there bread and butter.

    A lot of nice homes are in just over $1m and they are not selling due to the finance situation. The 200k drop is going to look mild. I can see some of this come down to around to have a 9 in front. The average stuff could be in the 7s.

    The train line has been priced in...so people talking about prices going up is a pipe dream.

    As for East Hills a good spot with fast trains. Similar to Sutherland prices are dropping and I can see lower end houses at some point in the 9s.

    Having said the one can say the same about Leppington....Austral...etc. It is entire Sydney phenomenon
