We have just bought several semi detached homes around the Elizabeth area.
Last week we inspected a house at Elizabeth Downs which we thought was pretty good value at the advertised price of 140k. Did not submit an offer because we wanted to buy closer to the Hospital at Elizabeth Vale.
Today just after we signed a contract on a house at the Vale we had a phone call from Lyneve Rosenberg of LJ Hooker Craigmore/ Elizabeth to let us know the bank had dropped the price to 129k! Bloody heck - we would have bought it at that price! Lyneve was about 30 minutes too late for us.
Here is a link to the property

We liked the fact there is a new house next door on one side and older people on the other side. Anybody who buys in the area would know that you always check out the neighbours before even looking at a property.
The house in question is quite neat inside and out requiring only a bit of paint on a couple of ceilings, remove the chimney or block it somehow because ash is falling out onto the carpet. Also requires a tidy up in the backyard and cut down a couple of small trees.
It would rent for $180 - 200 per week.
The reason i am writing this? The Agent - Lyneve showed us through quite a few properties late in the afternoons. Nothing was too much trouble for her. We really wanted to buy from this salesperson. I hope that somebody sees this Thread and checks out the property with her in the hope it leads to a sale for her.
Do your own due diligence first.
