Ignore All Previous Pricing, Bank Instructs Sale By August 4

You may have seen 16 Kirkland Avenue, Coorparoo on the market for the last few weeks. Well time has just about run out, the bank is insisting this be sold ASAP so it’s up for auction in less than 3 weeks.

Consisting of a 5 bedroom home + 2 separate flats, this property offers a fantastic opportunity to accommodate a range of living options, with a great return and the potential for more. This "Three For One" deal is an absolute cash cow!

The house at 9 Raby Road is set out with 5 bedrooms, communal living and kitchen areas and storage space.

There are two separate flats at 16 Kirkland Avenue, one with 3 bedrooms and the other with 2. Both are totally self-contained with their own kitchen, living areas and bathrooms.

Our instructions are crystal clear, the clock is ticking and this property must be sold. Offers sought before auction or will be sold on August 4.

Inspect this Saturday 21 August @ 1.50pm

Is Anyone Using Google Places?

I think it’s linked in closely with google+ and i know there are millions using it but doesn’t seem to have had the impact that facebook has.

Can I ask a favour of our wonderful advocates? Anyone with a google or gmail account can add a review of a business. Jeff Jones Real Estate has been reviewed just four times but unfortunately we have been on the wrong side of the ledger each time.

We try really hard to do the right thing. If your experience dealing with us has been great please spend 2 minutes to let everyone know, to say we would be eternally grateful would be an understatement. What do you get in return? Amazing cyberspace positive vibes from the entire JJRE team (and no doubt a standing ovation next time you walk in the office)!

The Greenslopes Real Estate Market :: What’s Hot

Sections of buyers have responded particularly well to the favourable market. Lower interest rates and a fall in prices has created some excellent buying opportunities. For me it’s no surprise to see demand for houses up to $550,000 as strong as I have seen for close to 2 years. Both owner occupiers and investors are active.

The top 20 most ‘crowded’ suburbs across Australia

BY TIM LAWLESS – BLOG.RPDATA.COM

Where can you find the most people packed into one suburb?  According to the latest Census data, look no further than the inner Sydney suburb of Elizabeth Bay.  This suburb covers about one quarter of a square kilometre of prime Inner Sydney real estate and, according to the latest Census figures, is home to 5,093 persons which works out to be about 2 persons per 100 square metres of land.  The second most densely populated suburb in the country is right next door at Rushcutters Bay, with a comparatively sparse population density of 1.5 persons per 100 square metres.
