Also. How many times this year have I said "we may have a house we like!" and it didn't pan out. Which is why I'm in a real estate office.... Just looking? I need someone to pull me oouuttt

Idk about Aussie market but so close to crimmus may not be good idea to look at houses coz they’re still probably marketed at the higher range from winter

Once crimmus and ny settles down they’ll be flooded with properties and you’re gonna have a ton of picks

SOLD

Zee
this is why i keep you around

Oh. Then no harm looking at their portfolio. BE NOSY. Tbh tho if you look and the property is still there next month, chances are the price will drop 10%

Zee
oooh good point good point

(Let’s face it, unless you’re an investor from overseas, you’re not gonna buy so close to crimmus)

Zee
or...should we just wait out another year because it's commonwealth in 2018

So many of our landlords are trying to sell. TRYING. At like higher prices. It’s so stupid

Zee


alvιe
Eh. Be all Chinese dragon lady at the agent. They’ll cater more to your whims

Zee
