    Been looking at renting a place whilst Darwin drops in price.

    3 years ago you couldn't rent a place for love nor money...(well, lots and lots of money helped).

    We just went and visited a nice house, in a good area, pet friendly, renovated and reasonably priced.

    We were the only visitors for the whole inspection!

    If it was overpriced, I'd get it...but this place was all good. Ticked all the boxes, for a lot of prospective tenants.

    Been vacant for over 2 months now....

    What a difference a few years makes....

    Next time someone tells you that real estate never drops in price, feel free to slap them in the face with a wet fish.
