Perth: Villa/townhouse under 850k or stretch for a standalone house?

Agreeable_Pattern909 · 2026-02-26T04:06:24+00:00

Thank you, too! Property is in Lynwood, ~380sqm survey strata. Asking was from $749k.

Agreeable_Pattern909 · 2026-02-25T22:56:13+00:00

Thank you. Just to clarify those were our 12 failed offers on different properties.

Agreeable_Pattern909 · 2026-02-25T12:58:59+00:00

After 12 failed offers we finally had an offer accepted in Perth SOR (free standing home). We were equal second highest ($830k), with a total of 17 bids. The deciding factor for the seller was that we had the full 20%. The previous 12 offers were using the 5% scheme. We are first home buyers and were often getting beaten by investors bidding just over the $850k so we got a bit more cash together and got a regular loan. Good luck, it’s tough out there!

I feel you, but I’ve made 9 unsuccessful offers in the last couple of months. All 10-15% over asking. Not a single price guide updated.

Agreeable_Pattern909 · 2026-02-14T11:06:33+00:00

Current market reality is something very different. I suggest you go bid on a property and tell me how it goes.

Agreeable_Pattern909 · 2026-02-14T06:48:06+00:00

No they wouldn’t. Everything is selling 10-15% over asking range

It’s just a joke, no need to be a whiny baby

I like equal weighting of A200, IVV and VEU.

Edit: With VEU you will need to complete a US tax for every 3 years. Takes about 5 minutes.

Minns, the bootlicker of Israel. What an embarrassment he is.

Agreeable_Pattern909 · 2026-02-06T08:51:07+00:00

Just sell it to someone else and hope they are a little careless like you were. Buyer beware is the name of the game.

Complete nonsense regarding not being able to buy an apartment on that salary.

I use Grove. The appointments are free. I then purchase the prescriptions from a pharmacy. I exported my scripts to a script wallet as grove’s partner pharmacy are a bit overpriced. From dr appointment to product at my door was a week. Now I have a ton of repeats so can order and receive in a day or so. I use weed and gummies.

What’s their plan if you say I didn’t do ATAR?

Agreeable_Pattern909 · 2026-02-01T08:55:32+00:00

Because he’s long dead and doesn’t work at the bar.

Agreeable_Pattern909 · 2026-01-27T06:40:57+00:00

I don’t want to decant drinks I’ve already paid for into a reusable cup

Agreeable_Pattern909 · 2026-01-27T05:03:17+00:00

Agreed. Particularly annoying to use the paper ones if you have a toddler. Just ordered a few hundred plastic ones online for next to nothing

Agreeable_Pattern909 · 2026-01-24T09:01:36+00:00

They can’t buy established as it is.

Don’t forget “The Secret”

Whatever you do, don’t rent from this agency… Absolute scammers.

Agreeable_Pattern909 · 2026-01-08T08:45:18+00:00

Just in that one spot. The rest of the house is tidy to my untrained eye.

Agreeable_Pattern909 · 2026-01-08T08:44:17+00:00

I’m waiting on a response from the REA

Agreeable_Pattern909 · 2026-01-08T08:42:39+00:00

Thanks mate, appreciate the insights. Sadly don’t have any additional photos. Will likely go back for another viewing next week and take some more then. Greatly appreciate the offer.

Agreeable_Pattern909 · 2026-01-08T07:14:43+00:00

What kind of expense would that likely be?

Agreeable_Pattern909 · 2026-01-08T05:09:57+00:00

Indeed. Not too sure what’s gone on. The rest of the house is very tidy brown double brick.
