    The numbers of listed houses increased in the last few weeks. Will this reduce the house price?

    Ordinarily yes. But there’s a fairly unique factor right now: we’ve just got out of lockdown :p

    Akuna is far nicer (edited typo) and appears to be freehold. Risdon is hard to pick but you’d have to expect at least a mil, but under 1.1?

    Factor in costs to replace those ghastly tiles :eek:

    Thanks @Hamish84

    Agreed, your estimate is fair. I will use this hint as guidance for my bid at the auction.

    Yup people are poo pooing melb growth prospects. But considering its been locked down for most of the year, 16 pct growth is impressive, especially given melbs heavy reliance on immigrant intake which is likely to pour in again when borders open.

    And it turns out CG has been higher in Melbourne than Brisbane over the past year. Who’s going to tell the Brisbane brigadiers?

    Does seem low. My thoughts on why is possible tiny land size making renovation needed on second level which is costly. Interior needs full reno. Street has speed humps suggesting plenty of traffic?

    141sqm is tiny land. Normally when we think small terrace house its 3 beds on 250 to 350 sqm. This is a micro house.

    Nah the street doesn’t have much traffic at all. The commies at Moreland Council put traffic calming everywhere and close off streets = Lygon St and Sydney Road become car parks.

    Land size is small, but it should still be well north of $1m for that location.

    Yep. That house woulda been $1.1m max before lockdown 6.0. And under a mil earlier in the year.

    The price differential can't continue. 2022 will be interesting...
