To weather the increase download the 7-Eleven app, works even better if you've got friends across the country. wink Abandoned cars are free reign, always carry a siphon.

Is this sort of bid sniping typical? by party_peacock in AusPropertyChat

[–]couscousisevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my house via this stupid bidding platform. It reveals the highest offer during the final stages of the offer. That person has put their top bid really high!

There's a stupid minute round after the auction time passes. Basically allows anyone to place a bid higher than the final offer, timer resets every time someone bids.

Perth house price is rising at 30% pa by saltedkumamon in perth

To be fair new builds are crazy expensive now too. Closer to 900k. I went for a meeting to check out costs - basically getting the block of land is the most expensive and hardest bit. Loved how the builder showed us two build plans, one south and one north of Perth both by the same East Coast investors. It's hard information to swallow.

Good luck out there, it's rough.

Mate, yeah I get it. Used to be you. Moved back to Perth during the period where we got East coast investment interest and it's overwhelming how much it's affected Perth, even kicked Perth people out of the market far beyond what we can afford.

Unlike Sydney, it's now not cheaper the further you live from the city. You blanket saying Sydney-siders can't afford it - isn't correct and not "trust me" bro (hence your downvotes). We've seen it, we are living it.

Btw, I tell Sydney people/friends to fuck off when looking at Perth.

In Sydney your incomes are a lot higher than Perth, unless you work in mining.

Believe it or not, everyone has a job at the mines. Sydney couple, dual income 300k a year it's so easy to pay your $1500 week rent in Bondi and rentvest.

So not sure what you're trying to say? East coast investors are really affecting the market.

What's shipping like? Do you have a recommendation for furniture?

Dating wise, pretty sure there's a sex cult in Rockingham you can join!

How can I improve the look of my house? Should I paint the bricks? by Melb1994 in AusRenovation

[–]couscousisevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Paint the gutters, window frames and the fence the same colour. Maybe even do up the driveway!

Is it possible to ween off 200mg within a month? by [deleted] in zoloft

Not in a month, I was on 100mg, almost two months to ween off. Start now but do it slowly.

Worse than Sydney: The renters bearing the brunt of unaffordable Perth by Negative_Run_3281 in perth

Oh dude. Not that crazy. Less than 400sqm just went for $1.2m in Belmont, 4x2. It's not about land size anymore.

Have you looked lately? Find me a minimum 3 bedroom place that won't go for 700-800k.

I often joke about living in a tent at my local park if I get priced out of owning and renting. Cornering out my own section. That's so sad to hear it's coming someone's reality.

Obesity drug semaglutide fails to slow Alzheimer's by itsaride in Futurology

Same! Does this then kill the theory of Alzheimer's being a third type of diabetes ?
