    Do you know this property? Maybe a massive renovation was done?

    I bought my PPOR 2 years ago and it would sell in the current market for $300k more than I bought it for. So I dont see that as being a typo tbh.

    The previous owners sold at the wrong time, maybe they bought again in the same market so everyone would be happy.

    Judging by the photos, no major reno was done. Maybe bathroom and a bit of a tidy up...I think poor timing in the first sale. Then good timing in the second sale.

    I don't think they touched a thing. That's the market moving upwards for you.

    Same photos and floorplan (albeit coloured in) as the 2012 listing.

    Agree with others that it's just timing. One of my IPs has gone up over 50% in 3.5 years (zero changes)

    That's pretty decent.
    Don't know much about the Melbourne market, could still be going up.

    In boom cycles these types of figures/growth achievable, similar to what people achieving with Syd western suburbs, investors doubling their money in for short time frame... Nice:)

    Just buy in a rising market call it "acquisition stage" and you will be way infront, in other words don't buy cos someone tells you it's a good idea to accumulate property, that's called, "accumulating debt" if timing is ignored.

    @2FAST4U I know what your saying but its different to a boom market. In a boom market its a lot more difficult to get a good deal (forget about great deal). But in a rising market, imo if you know how to negotiate well and are aggressive, there is still plenty of room for good deals before its too late. just my opinion.

    @chylld And there are people working their butt off on 50hours plus a week earning much less than what your property got you... how dare you!

    Don't have enough money/leverage to diversify into shares yet (not that the share market is doing that good anyway).

    Yeah it's better for a market to be rising than falling anyway. Easier to get good valuations for your existing properties, which can help with deposits etc.
