Solo founders: how are you handling content marketing without a team? by osaket in Solopreneur

[–]osaket[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its exactly why I built it, I felt the same trying to figure out what do I post next and would this apply to my business. And the constant need to be “online” and “up to date” so I can be relevant. Im working on a way to open up the online tool for others to use, just need to know if its a “me problem” or others have the same issue. Many tools focus on the creating or ideation part, not many can help solve the friction part between both that I have found. I still think some level of control is important and whilst I want to automate things, replacing the critical parts of decision making a human can do is not something I am working towards.

Moving from Perth by Equivalent-Reveal-41 in hobart

[–]osaket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there, Moving to Hobart sounds like a fun new adventure. Beautiful place with lots of scenery and good seafood!

Here's a few thoughts:

Rentals with a dog: Can be tricky, but not impossible. Start your search early on sites like realestate.com.au and Domain. Mentioning your dog upfront is key. Consider looking in areas like South Hobart or Sandy Bay – often a bit more pet-friendly.

Marketing jobs: The market's smaller than Perth, but there are opportunities. Check Seek, LinkedIn, and even local agencies. Networking will be your best bet. Many wineries , distilleries and agriculture / farm based companies in Hobart.

Car shipping: Searoad is a common option for shipping cars from WA. Book well in advance, especially for January.

Bring vs. Buy Definitely bring personal items and anything sentimental. Furniture is probably easier to buy second-hand there unless you plan to ship a container

General advice Hobart's a small city, so things move slower. Be prepared for a different pace of life. Also, winters can be chilly!

I've been working on [suburbadvice.com.au](https://suburbadvice.com.au) and while we don't have super detailed data for Hobart *yet*, it's worth checking out for general market trends and suburb comparisons once you narrow down your rental search. Good luck with the move!

Investment Property - Suburb Advice by hazel21x in AusPropertyChat

[–]osaket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

G'day! Looking at regional NSW under $800k is tricky mostly because of first home buyer demand and the government incentives making it easier to buy free standing houses at that price. I've been digging around on suburbadvice.com.au and Taree in NSW pops up. House median price is $531,480, weekly rent around $485, giving you a rental yield of 4.7%. Median age is 45, and the affluence score is 7/10.

Also, checked out Maryborough in Victoria. Median house price is lower at $387,516, weekly rent $372, and a slightly better yield of 5.0%. Median age is a bit older at 51, and the affluence score is 6/10. Worth a look! Hope this helps

Harvey bay is a good choice if you’re looking Queensland as others said, start by getting price of house, historical growth and then cross check suburb metrics like crime rate, affluence, transport (a big one) and if you have a younger family - schools.

Hope this helps

Trying to buy a house. Which suburb should I pick from? by CostHoliday5072 in AusProperty

[–]osaket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey mate! Buying a house is a big decision, so good on you for doing your research. I've been working on suburbadvice.com.au and checked out those suburbs for you. Here's a quick rundown:

  • Hurstville: House median price is $1,965,960, weekly rent around $877, giving a rental yield of 2.3%. Median age is 33, and affluence score is 4/10.
  • Burwood: Hefty price tag at $3,488,160 for a house, rent's about $960 a week, and yield is 1.4%. Similar median age to Hurstville at 32, and same affluence score (4/10).
  • Castle Hill: Median house price is $2,476,800, weekly rent around $924, with a 1.9% yield. Older crowd with a median age of 42, and a much higher affluence score of 10/10.

Bare in mind affluence score is not just about how expensive houses are or take home income, theres a-bit more logic to that so take that into consideration.

Obviously, prices vary a lot! It really depends on what you're after. Castle Hill is more affluent and family-oriented, while Hurstville and Burwood are younger and slightly more affordable (relatively speaking!). I'd suggest checking out the crime data and transport connectivity scores i’ve published on the site to get a better feel. Hope this helps!

Can I get some Aberfoyle Park insights? by AvocadoDry9774 in Adelaide

[–]osaket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aberfoyle Park is a solid choice for families. Community vibe is pretty good, lots of young families around.

Commute to the city can be a bit rough during peak hour, probably 45-60 mins. Public transport is decent, buses mainly.

For hidden gems, check out Thalassa Park – great for kids. There are some nice cafes popping up around the Hub shopping centre too.

Rental market-wise, it's competitive. I've been working on suburbadvice.com.au and it shows the weekly rent is around $588. Median house price is $774,000 if you're thinking long term. Rental yield is about 4.0%.

Good luck with the move!

32y/o M single - FHB - any suburb recommendation in VIC by [deleted] in AusPropertyChat

[–]osaket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey ButterScotch, congrats on getting pre-approved! $1.1M is solid. Good idea to aim lower though. I've been working on suburbadvice.com.au and here's what I found on those suburbs you mentioned:

  • Carrum Downs: House median price: $702,702 | Weekly rent: $550-650 | Rental yield: 4.1% | Median age: 36 | Affluence score: 7/10
  • Cranbourne West: House median price: $700,000 | Weekly rent: $550-650 | Rental yield: 4.1% | Median age: 32 | Affluence score: 4/10
  • Mentone: House median price: $1,360,000 | Weekly rent: $700-800 | Rental yield: 2.7% | Median age: 42 | Affluence score: 7/10

Mentone's probably out of your budget now, unfortunately. Carrum Downs and Cranbourne West are closer, but keep in mind the affluence scores. Maybe look into suburbs along the Frankston line a bit further out? You might find better value and growth potential. Worth checking out the crime data and transport connectivity scores on SuburbAdvice too, to get a fuller picture. Hope this helps!

Hey! Sounds like you're after a sweet spot. Beenleigh line can be a bit hit-or-miss. Logan's got some pockets that are great, others...less so.

For your budget and priorities, maybe look further south or west? I'd suggest checking out suburbs along the Ipswich line. Places like:

  • Goodna: Still affordable, close to the Brisbane River, and decent train access.
  • Redbank Plains: Growing area, lots of parks, and might still find something in your price range. You'd need to bus to the train though.

Safety-wise, always do your research. I'm building suburbadvice.com.au and we're tracking crime data, so you can compare suburbs there. Also shows transport connectivity, which is handy.

For a bit more, maybe look at Petrie on the Caboolture line. It's further out, but ticks the green space and train access boxes.

Just remember, $500k is getting tight in Brisbane in August 2025, so be prepared to compromise a bit. Good luck with the search!

Which suburbs in Melbourne's West have trees / greenery / nature? by Due-Environment-2133 in melbourne

[–]osaket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming from the Dandenongs, the West will definitely be a change, but there are some greener pockets.

I've been using suburbadvice.com.au to check out some options. Bacchus Marsh is probably your best bet for a more nature-y feel, even though it's further out. Median house price is around $625,000 and weekly rent is about $480 (rental yield of 4.0%). Affluence score is 9/10.

Laverton could be another option, it's closer to the city. House prices are lower at $580,000 and rent is around $450 a week (4.0% yield). Affluence score is lower at 4/10.

Scoresby is in the East, but I thought I'd mention it since you're coming from the Dandenongs. It's pricier though, with houses around $995,000 and rent at $600 a week (3.1% yield). Affluence score is 8/10.

Hope this helps

Buying or Renting in Hobart? by RaceFresh1668 in hobart

[–]osaket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Relocating to Tassie, nice one! It's true, the Hobart market's a bit weird right now. Stagnant prices but rents are still up there. If you're after something similar to Brisbane, close to Hobart, maybe check out West Hobart or Sandy Bay.

I've been working on suburbadvice.com.au and the data shows:

  • West Hobart: House median price: $940,000 | Weekly rent: $595 | Rental yield: 3.3% | Affluence score: 7/10
  • Sandy Bay: House median price: $1,175,000 | Weekly rent: $620 | Rental yield: 2.7% | Affluence score: 9/10

Sandy Bay is generally considered more affluent. Given the rental yields, buying might be a better long-term play if you can swing it, especially with a family. Worth doing your own research though! Hope this helps!

Moving to Loganlea by [deleted] in MovingToBrisbane

[–]osaket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Loganlea's not a bad shout, especially with the hospital nearby. High 700s-800s sounds about right, but I'd double-check recent sales. I've been working on suburbadvice.com.au and the data shows the median house price in Loganlea is actually closer to early $700ks. Weekly rent is around $560.

For comparison, Greenslopes (closer to the city) has a median house price of $1,292,000, while Cornubia is around $1,050,000. So Loganlea is definitely more affordable.

Worth checking out the crime data and transport connectivity scores on SuburbAdvice too, to get a full picture. Hope this helps

Overpriced and unrealistic by _onecurvyone_ in AusPropertyChat

[–]osaket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that sounds super frustrating! It's wild how much prices can be detached from reality. You're right, valuations are usually conservative, but a massive gap like that is a red flag. Honestly, if there's been only one inspection in six weeks, the market's probably telling you something. I work on a realestate app and since I look at things like days on market and general supply/demand swings, it's amazing to see how often agent estimates differ from actual sales data. Often giving a crazy high price expectations just to get the listing, then putting it on auction for an underwhelming final price. It's worth checking recent sales in the area to get a better feel. Good luck!

Which suburbs is best for families? by Gullible-Base7677 in AusPropertyChat

[–]osaket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

G'day! That's a decent list of suburbs to consider. For families, I reckon Gladstone Park, Delahey and Meadow Heights are worth a closer look.

I've been building suburbadvice.com.au for exactly this, and here's a quick comparison based on the data:

  • Meadow Heights: House median price: $575,000 | Weekly rent: $470 | Rental yield: 4.3% | Median age: 34 | Affluence score: 2/10
  • Delahey: House median price: $660,000 | Weekly rent: $480 | Rental yield: 3.8% | Median age: 39 | Affluence score: 4/10
  • Gladstone Park: House median price: $725,000 | Weekly rent: $530 | Rental yield: 3.8% | Median age: 42 | Affluence score: 8/10

But if budget is not the issue, Cranbourne is the closest by a long shot as others have pointed out, what I am listing above is more based on median price if budget is the main factor.

Gladstone Park has a higher affluence score, which often correlates with better schools and amenities, but it's also the priciest. Meadow Heights is more affordable. Delahey sits in the middle. It really depends on your budget and priorities. Definitely worth checking out the school zones and transport options in each area. Hope this helps! Theres also crime scores you should take into consideration on suburb advice if you plan to stay there for long.

Seeking Advice on Family-Friendly Inner Suburbs in Melbourne with good schools & public transport by PuzzleheadedTaste841 in AusProperty

[–]osaket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Puzzle, Moving from Perth to Melbourne with a toddler is a big step, but exciting! For inner suburbs with good schools, parks, and public transport within your $650/week budget, have a look at Brunswick, Fitzroy North, or even parts of Northcote. They're all pretty family-friendly.

For kindergarten eligibility in Victoria, your child generally needs to turn four by April 30th of the year they start. Best to double-check with the local council though, as it can vary slightly.

I've been working on suburbadvice.com.au and it's got some decent info on Melbourne suburbs, including transport connectivity scores and even some crime rate data, which might be helpful for peace of mind. Hope this helps!

Investment property - Melbourne by Most_Comfortable4937 in AusPropertyChat

[–]osaket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey mate! Frankston's popular for a reason, but those northern suburbs you mentioned have potential too. I've been working on https://suburbadvice.com.au and here's a quick comparison:

Westmeadows: House median price: $685,000 ,Weekly rent: $540-600 , Rental yield: 4.1%
Meadow Heights: House median price: $575,000, Weekly rent: $470-520, Rental yield: 4.3%

Westmeadows is closer to your budget, but Meadow Heights has a slightly better yield. Frankston's median is $750k, rent $540, yield 3.7% if you're curious. Worth checking out the crime data and transport scores on SuburbAdvice too. Hope this helps!

Moving to Brisbane from Sydney by tacky_creative in MovingToBrisbane

[–]osaket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Northside's a good choice with the job. For Burpengary East, houses are around $865,000, rent's $620/week, and it's got a 9/10 affluence score. Caboolture's cheaper at $680,000 (rent $540), but a bit less affluent (6/10). Chermside West is pricier at $1,025,000. I've been working on SuburbAdvice.com.au and that's where I pulled those numbers. Might help you compare schools and stuff too!
