I know there are alot of members here from Australia and I'd bet that they would be happy to let you know about any places that they might see that are available. Just need to make known what it is your looking for and where you would like to be. That's how we found the place we're in now, using what my wife calls the Friends Network.

We get alot of work that we need done that way too. Couple of months ago a friend who's a professional plumber took care of a drain problem for us. 6 month's ago I fixed a computer problem for him. Cost nothing but the new parts needed.

God I love the barter system!!!
 
We still want to stay around this area, its nice and close to work and the school my son goes to.
Gotta find a dog friendly yard for JayT too.
 
Check this out, went to a house inspection yesterday and upon arrival saw this many people wanting to inspect the property as well. :shocked:

Market must be very slim!

OUCH!


That looks like the old days :) 2006-8 during the Real Estate bubble here... houses would sell before they hit the market.
 
Went to another inspection yesterday in a different suburb. The house was nicer than the one in the pic above, in a better area a stones throw away from a park.

Only THREE couples showed up! Talk about weird get 30-40 couples the day before at a place then THREE! We want this one as its perfect for our needs and its got nice gardens and a little greenhouse out the back! Handing in the forms today so get those vibes going!! :P
 
Well i was supposed to hand these forms in at lunch time today. Im still waiting on my old agent to email me my rental ledger. Upon contacting the office i was told that she would follow it up and it should be sent to my email account.

Checked my email account to find a message that says it was sent yesterday, well if it was it certainly wasn't sent to MY email account cuz it aint there!! Real estate agents.... if they want something from you they are all over it. If you want something you better sit back and learn how to relax!
 
If it hasn't landed in your spam folder, call and question to see if they accidentally sent it to the wrong address.

Happens a bit, I was getting the security layout and details for a proposed Wollongong shopping center for ages, made for some interesting reading, including the bits where they knew security cameras couldn't cover.

People assume if they type in a email address, it will go to the right person. Even if they type the wrong email in.
 
I suspect thats what has happened, i will just go into their office this afternoon a get a hard copy me thinks.
 
I had the thought about privacy issues. All it shows is that i paid X amount every month. Not much really.
I always pay by bank cheque, im very careful who i give out other details to.
 
I had to look for rentals asap this last feb. I inspected lots of places that were dumps (cos I'm low on funds) then found a house that was awesome, filled the forms out to hand them in the next day. Couldn't get a reference from an employer until midday and then went to the real estate office. They told me there was a line of people outisde the office when it opened at 9am and they took the first six applications and gave the owner them to decide from. -frustration-!!

I found another place that is much smaller, near a noisy road and a lot my chilli seedlings did not survive the move but its ok, in many other ways.

You know when people train with weights on their legs? then they take them off and feel stronger and faster? Well I have shed my ball and chain and feel so much lighter. There is a silver lining to every situation. :dance:

Good luck Nova.
 
Well Moo my ball and chain has also been shed. WE GOT A PLACE!! :woohoo:

We inspected a property two days ago in a very nice location, near everything that i want to be near EVEN A BUNNINGS!! My partner and i discussed how it was the pick of the crop so to speak as we were driving home from it. Got a message ten minutes ago telling me that the owners had decided to let us lease it!!! Man it's stressful looking for a place to live but now i don't gotta! Soooooo happy right now I NEED A BEER!

Plenty of space for my plants, plenty of space for germination, plenty of space for my dog, a reserve directly behind us with a HUGE pond that my boys will love playing around AND NO BACK NEIGHBOURS!!

Man i'm so happy i'm nearly crying! Thanks everyone for your support with this it helps heaps to be able to talk about it and im sure all your prayers and well wishes have indeed hit the spot! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
