The Perth Thread

BIL is a crayfisherman in gero - will have to text tomorrow to see if there is any gossip

 

[Admiral Byng]

Since when did we have a suburb called Oakford?

Since forever. It was there when I was a pimply kid at highschool, and I'm mid-40s now.

i'm shocked to be sitting here

Oakford isn't really a suburb in the sense of a sea of houses that all look the same.

It's where you live if you want to pretend you live in the country and have horses etc. but still want to clog up the roads by commuting into the city every day.

 

[The Speaker]

i figured it was out wandi way, just thought i would have at least heard of it

 

[ioppolo]

Oakford has a nice nursery out that way. Also a more relaxing (but longer) drive to Mandurah.

Yes, I was a very pimply kid.

I know this is the Perth thread, but WTF is with that boat up in Gero?

You may be shocked to hear this, but there's apparently quite a market for illicit substances in Gero.

Got some epic sounding rain early this morning. Now the sun is out like nothing happened.

 

[Beerfish]

And no sooner have I posted that and the sun is gone and it's pissing down again.

 

[gaskin]

Make up your damn mind if you want to rain or not.

 

[Hudu Gurusingha]

Its now a perfect day out there. Weird

Dont know where you guys all are, but there has been a massive spike in the amount of junkies walking around my (northern) suburb in the last year or so. Or on bicycles.

Is anyone trying to sell a house? My wife and I have an offer on what we think is our dream house, subject to the sale of ours. Had almost zero interest on ours and its been 3 weeks. Havent had more than 1 person come through for the home opens.

We were trying to sell a house but have given up and rented it out again. It's a buyers market at the moment that's for sure. Even getting it rented has been a struggle actually.

I have read that apparently things are starting to turn but I'm not seeing it. Good luck.

Thanks.

Out of interest, how long did you have yours on the market?

 

[Beerfish]

Thanks.

Probably not what you want to hear but since November last year..

 

[Nothing]

Everything sells, at a price. If you aren't getting interest (1 through in weeks) either your agent is crap or it's overpriced. Are there a lot of home for sale in the area?

Are you getting a good buy on the future home? You might need to take a decent cut on this one to get moving to the next stage.

 

[ioppolo]

It seems to be a buyers market atm.

3 weeks? Jesus. I don't know the specifics of your house or how you've priced it, but be prepared to wait a lot longer than that.

 

[Kram]

Think it took at least a couple of months for my sister to sell their house in Kingsley recently but they iirc also held out for a higher price once when given a pretty close offer.

 

[Hudu Gurusingha]

Not surprised I haven't sold in 3 weeks but to have pretty much zero interest after opening up twice each weekend for the last 3 weeks is a little disheartening. We might look at dropping the price on ours in the next couple of weeks, but if we don't get this house weve put an offer on its not like its not the end of the world.

Lol do you even have a house?

If you haven't already, check out some of the other houses in your area you're competing with.

Yes..?

It seems to be a buyers market atm.
