    Who said Sydney was going down?

    Who was talking the gloom in Sydney's East?

    Meh. It’s only starting. It’s normal that it will go down down, up, down down. Nothing special.

    Looking good Mr D.

    Though with that money you could buy a 3/1/1 house on 560 sq metres of land at Mt Druitt.

    A small shoe box is not good for the mind. It will drive you crazy.

    In the Druitt you'll get room to move. The craziness there is mostly inherited.

    $106k extra two years ago would get you a 877sqm 3:2:3 in the Central Coast.

    It’s a good bachelor’s pad. Close to the city, it’s a great place to bring the spoils of the night, have a one night fun.

    Also good for those who are enjoying the outdoors most of the time.

    This one is surrounded by Sydney Park, very bucolic rolling hills, joggers paradise, with a swan lake and a bonus gay beat at night :eek: o_O

    But there’s the WestConnex spaghetti highway under construction nearby. When people realise how noisy/polluted it will become, I expect the prices to drop. :oops:

    was snapped up by a young family downsizing from a five-bedroom home in the Hills District.


    Thats a nice hidden gem in that article you posted on how well Hills District has done to generate wealthy buyers who are buying elsewhere in Sydney.

    I have always been a fan of Hills District. They are building Australia's biggest shopping mall there plus the train line going in, plus the close proximity to Parramatta.

    I own a property there which I bought in 2014 and turned into a duplex under one title (two seperate tenants and two income). I believe I could make closer to half a mil in gross profit if I sold it today but I am holding off.

    For now Hills district arnt allowing many subdivisions for duplex but if they do in future that area will be gold.

    This result for the studio shows that you are better off buying even a bs little shoebox in Sydney than mansions in a place like Brisbane. :)

    The subdivisions west of Rouse Hill are where the unmined gold are. In a few years a hell of a lot of people will see a completed Metro line and think that area is 30mins to the city. Box Hill, Riverstone, etc all the way through to Windsor. Then expansion north through Annangrove etc. It suddenly easier to get tho Chatswood, North Syd, City.

    The overabundance of apartments above and along the Metro line remain a concern. Even some major developers are baulking at the scale and risk with so much airspace planned for towers - Castle Hill is one of the few places they have started to build and its not selling that fast is the word on the street. $1.3m+++++ for an apartment in Castle Hill ??? Meh.

    [QUOTE="Paul@PFI, post: 538161, member: 48"a lot of people will see a completed Metro line and think that area is 30mins to the city[/QUOTE]

    Is that really the projected travel time on the metro? I found an older article saying 37mins to Chatswood, but am not sure what's current.

    I'm 15km from the city and it takes 40+ mins to get back here in a tin can without a/c ...
