Hi All,
I am 24. I posted a bit a couple of months ago. My sister and I both started looking for our first home around August last year. But then realised that it was wiser to get two separate properties instead of buying just one together. My sister found a property a 2 bedder villa in Girraween for 328k. I found one too though missed out by another buyer who paid $5k more than what I had offered. I kinda regret not offering a bit more and walking away from that 2 bedroom villa. We also believed that it "might" be challenging to hold two properties at the same time, given we had decided to move out of home and that would have made it difficult. Excuses aside, I am a tad regretful because we had an agent do an appraisal of my sister's property which the agent said was easily $350k - $360k! It's perhaps Girraween which is just too popular now a days.
Serviceability isn't a problem, however my deposit could get some strain from these increasing prices and again the disappointment that a property that I could have bought for $332k late last year is probably selling around $350k - a bit of a loss eh?!
I'd like the experienced forum members to pls offer me words of advice? I am obviously down at the moment, so would appreciate constructive criticism only.
