And the rent is ridiculously high in the Goldy now.
A 3br with ensuite can get about $850 week rent!

I'm getting just shy of $1k a week for 3 bd and ensuite

It must be in a very good spot! Walking to Broadwater or beach etc?
Or it’s got a bit of land and pool?

Ours is on land under 400msq

But it begs the question, if a renter can afford $1000 a week payment, surely they can buy and pay off a house?

For $1k a week they should be paying off their own mortgage.

Beautiful little unit in Perth that is a very good buy under $400,000. Some people just can't be satisfied.

Don't think I've seen anything so stupid. If your agent keeps showing you houses that are out of your price range then stop using that agent, agents have nothing to gain by showing clients houses they can't afford.

You are making a huge investment in your life and you don't take the time to learn the market and have an idea what you can afford, do you really think you should be taking on such an important decision if you can't figure out what a house is worth.

Dirty Tricks Selling Houses - Underquoting rampant

At the same time they are talking the price down to buyers they are talking the price up to sellers trying to get their business or convince them to sell when they wouldn't if given an honest price expectation.

This happened to me on my first house sale. In the 80's the agent told me that the house would easily get $180K it was a smallish 3 bed room. I though at the time he was exaggerating - My thought was maybe $150K. Turns out that $135K was pushing it a bit. I had no intention of selling for that at that time. He was just wasting everyone's time.

He also kept leaving a card saying he had shown the house. I was a shift worker at the time one day I heard the alarm go off while I was in bed almost sleeping. The alarm was turned on again 30 seconds later. When I woke I found his card on the table saying he had shown the house. He was showing the house to nobody.
