hello All
my wife and I have been looking into a move to OZ and after initially looking at perth but the prices of houses there seem to be crazy and from what I can see Brisbane seems 'slightly' better from that point. A lot of it will come down to the job front I expect as I am a control engineer so am currently seeing where the most demand is while also wieghing up where will be best for us with 3 children 4,3 and 1 so for now I am just spending time reading what people have to say about each place and pushing on with form filling.

best wishes to all

Mark and sara

 

Hi, welcome to the site. Houses seem cheaper the further away from Brisbane you go...we are looking down towards the gold coast area/hinterland area. The problem we have found is just where to aim for as everywhere looks so nice!

 

Hi,

We are in the process of selling our UK house, looking to move out in a few of months. I have been advised that the housing market is very buoyant with a 20% increase in property prices in the last six months (this was quoted by an estate agent so some salt is needed). I have been looking into buying a house 'off-plan' to try to capitalise on the strong market.

Has anyone heard of Stockland @ Augustine Heights or Fernbrooke? Is 'off-plan' a popular option?

Hi Phylis,

Thanks for the advice, we have been looking at new builds in Wakerley and are thinking of buying off-plan. Do you know anything about the area?

Thanks,

Tony

 

Hi Icelander

I don't know of those areas to well, been to Augustine heights briefly has a nice girls school there but that s all I know, but springfield and springfield lake are not that far next junction on highway, an it has large shopping centre and stuff. Are you thinking of buying before you come over?
