Cheers! good luck! and i agree with amk, check out Wisdom and EB display homes i guess DH and I shouldn't bug M&C at Wisdom, The Ponds today since they might be busy... i remember going to one of the land releases back in Nov 08... we didn't really go there early though... we got there around 8am, and we got to be the 16th people in line (someone had made a list of who got there first and stuff)... oh well it wasn't meant for us hehe let us know how you go!

Re: New Land Release at The Ponds (NW Sydney) Sat 24-01-2009 5Jan 24, 2009 10:02 pm Eden Brae and Wisdom have really nice display homes and floor plans. Re: New Land Release at The Ponds (NW Sydney) Sat 24-01-2009 6Jan 24, 2009 10:04 pm Oh..and how did the land release go? Curious to find out. We were one of the people who camped overnight for our block of land but worth it. The anura release had smaller blocks of land, but am still interested to find out if they sold or not. Re: New Land Release at The Ponds (NW Sydney) Sat 24-01-2009 7Jan 25, 2009 5:12 pm Land release was supposed to be 13 blocks in the Anura area so no doubt they were snapped up quickly, although the Anura releases haven't been too popular.

Got myself a piece of land ... I was the 4th one on the list (queue) and yet my heart beat was at 120 if something would be left for me (from the nice lots). Anyways, i wasn't looking for something big so I have a 450m2 lot. That will restrict me to my budget (lol!)...
The land is pre-registered, so just a matter of issuing the loan and conveyancing. Next steps, choose a home and plan!! hardest!! Re: New Land Release at The Ponds (NW Sydney) Sat 24-01-2009 9Jan 26, 2009 8:28 am I heard all lots but one were sold. Did anyone camp? Re: New Land Release at The Ponds (NW Sydney) Sat 24-01-2009 10Jan 26, 2009 9:23 am I was at The Ponds display centre at 9:00 am on Saturday. I didn't even know there was land selling. I just wanted to look at the Wisdom home display. It looked so good on the web I just had to see it and I was in the area at the time.
There were two cars with people in them (maybe more). One asked my whether I was there for land, but told them that fortunately that part was already done. Demolition August 2009, Construction Started September 2009, Completed December 2010 Re: New Land Release at The Ponds (NW Sydney) Sat 24-01-2009 11Jan 27, 2009 8:39 am I think 2 guys camped overnight, they lived near by so they kept comin n goin. I was there 7am with 3 people before me.
Guess what, ALL the lots are gone, EXCEPT for the one on our RIGHT and the one on our LEFT .. LOL! .. Caz the one on our left has a water easement line which restricts construction on 1.5m area and the one on our right is a corner lot but has a 9m frontage caz its eaten up by the corner. I hope i dont sit alone! I'm strongly looking at Cosmopolitan Homes .. They are stylish and spacious than others in the same covered area. Oh well i'll start a new thread for this discussion i guess. Any neighbors at The Ponds? Sharpave Ave/Rosebrook Ave? Cheers! --- I don't have a signature - just this sentence saying that I don't have one - that'll do! Re: New Land Release at The Ponds (NW Sydney) Sat 24-01-2009 12Jan 27, 2009 12:20 pm Congratulations on your purchase. I'm constantly amazed at how quick land at The Ponds is being snapped up.
I will eventually be living just one street away in Kellyville Rigde. I'm really looking forward to all the reserves being finished in the area. Good luck with choosing a house!

Not quite a neighbour, I'm close to the sales centre/display village. Congrats on your purchase!

Congratz bluemetal! choosing a home is fun! it's the mortgage at the end that isn't fun hope you find your home! did you go and visit the display houses after you got your land? Re: New Land Release at The Ponds (NW Sydney) Sat 24-01-2009 16Jan 27, 2009 12:39 pm Thank you all! North-West Sydney Sider for sure !
I've been looking at plans/display homes for the last 3-4 weeks but couldn't do much till i had the land. I've put out a tender with Cosmo for our land piece, lets see what does it come out to be. Never thought "The Ponds" would be a suburb name, looks more like an estate name! .. Where do you live? Oh i live in the ponds .. say what?

Yup we'll definitely bump into eachother .. This is so cool! .. I see you've gone with Wisdom too .. looks like i'll have to give them a serious thought --- I don't have a signature - just this sentence saying that I don't have one - that'll do!
