Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Buying House in Melbourne !! 21May 08, 2014 2:45 pm I think my first 4 houses were all a 'compromise', on both the area and the house. 20 years later I'm getting most of my 'ideal'. Yep patience is a virtue. Re: Buying House in Melbourne !! 22May 08, 2014 2:56 pm Unfortunately being close to public transport comes at a cost.

I don't want to drive or work but I have to do so to afford my house.[/quote] So does everyone, I am sure. It's just better infrastructure gives your property better value while selling in the future. I ain't planning to stick to one house for more than 10 year. Which side of town u live in ? Re: Buying House in Melbourne !! 24May 08, 2014 3:50 pm Ponzu why are you focusing on current sale value if you might be living in it for 10 years? Thts why I stated earlier, i am new in the market and carrying high expectations of ticking all the boxes which now realising is not possible. Re: Buying House in Melbourne !! 25May 08, 2014 3:53 pm deluxes Compromise is always needed in buying real estate... Unless you have money to burn that is! Most of us have a budget and requirements, you just have to work out what will fit the best for you, and that may require some flexibility and compromises on the "ideal". At least for a few years anyway... Yeah It sounds right, hopefully i will make my decision very soon. I have just stepped into this only a month ago.

Which side of town u live in ?[/quote] Just read through this very interesting thread (from my perspective) - curious, where did you choose to buy in the end, and what? Established or new build? --- Yeah I don't know why I came to a forum. Place is full of wierdos/pedos thought internet may help but I suppose I'll try my luck with someone in person. Cheers.
