Houses in our area

Well it seems people are selling up big time in our area at the moment. I guess it was predicted as one of the top 10 boom areas in Brisbane this year and they want to get in on that in case there is a down turn in the market.

But 2 have come up for sale on the past couple of days in our little area (Grovely is a principality I think it's called - like when I lived in Wellington - my suburb was Khandallah but the principality I lived in was Rangoon Heights) and 3 in the Keperra suburb that are "comparable" to our place (post war, weatherboard, highset etc). And they're all going for more than we paid for our place - yay! It will be very interesting to see how long they are the market for and whether they have to drop their prices at all.

If you're interested they are:

109 Woking St (Grovely, Keperra) - just down the road from us and probably the most comparable out of them all

27 Glemorgan St (Keperra) - over the other side of a main road through our surrounding suburbs and 1 block back from a very very busy 4 lane main road

Grovely - Keperra - no address but is in our little area - and this looks a bot more run down than our but it does have a bigger section (it has a 825sqm section and we have 718 sqm). The kitchen is so gross it makes me want to cry - yuk!

Anyway - just interesting :-) Paul and I like seeing what's available in Keperra still so we can see if our house has gone up in value yet - yay :-)
