I've been looking around, and still not sure to go land then house, or house and land. i have my eye on a 512sqm block in a court in rose grange estate. park opposite. Perfect area, and good price @ $113,000. What sort of site costs are to be expected in this area does anyone know? Its important to look at how much of a garden you'll have left over after the build and whether its finanically viable. I think I made a mistake in buying 660sqM in Point Cook for $145K and then building a 42 sq double story for $300K. If I were to sell tomorrow, I would need $475K back to break even, and I'm not sure if anyone would be willing to pay that much even for such a large house/block in PC i,e do people who move to PC even have that money? For example...Simonds has 2 display homes for sale in Lincoln Heath estate, Point Cook for $650K each!!!!!!! They've been on the market for months!! Re: First home buyers greetings 11Mar 27, 2007 1:35 pm Yes the block is a good shape. 16 m frontage my 32m, rectangle. Next to the end of the court which is irregular and a monsterous 1100sqm. It seems to be a really great buy so far. Most of the court is already sold.
I'm rebadging all of ausse home loans cars at the moment (new logo) so maybe I should go chat....

They've been on the market for months!! For that sort of money I would be buying in Sanctuary Lakes rather then Lincoln Heath..... Re: First home buyers greetings 13Mar 27, 2007 3:31 pm Wow! Prices are interesting. The further out you go, the more options and the cheaper the land - to a point.
We are on the other side of Geelong (Bellarine Peninsula) and land around this area can be as expensive as seaside Melbourne. If you stop at Lara, however, some bargains can be had. Interesting questions regarding choosing the land or the house first. We found that we needed to do both at the same time. We had a house in mind, and it needed to fit a certain sized block. Then, after we chose the block, we went for a different house and builder. Good luck with your search - let us know how you go! Perry Re: First home buyers greetings 14Mar 27, 2007 8:04 pm Yeah we looked at Tarneit Gardens, Claremont Park and Moorookyle (nearly bought a block of land in Moorrokyle) and most of our friends have bought in Claremont Park. I think Tarneit is really great and the next house.... (first isn't even built yet) will probably be in Tarneit. Total fluke that we ended up in Point Cook, if we hadn't chanced on this block then there was no way we could afford it. Correct me if I am wrong but I think Pt Cook Gardens was developed by Peet and Co who are doing Tarneit Gardens? That's a lovely estate. I think anywhere from Morris Rd to the end of Sayers Rd is a really good buy I've been watching the prices for 18 months and they are definately going up. Re: First home buyers greetings 15Mar 28, 2007 1:33 pm Thanks for the advice Emi.
My father is coming down this sunday to talk to Harry with me and the missus and we're going to trek out to this peice of land. (No road built yet) Very exciting, and i've heard nothing but good things about the area thus far. Hopefully the land isn't sold by then!!! Will deffinately let you know how we go =) Till then of course, more comments and suggestions are totally welcome Thanks NativeZen!
