I think you've done the right thing Frank. Eventually that area in Rocky will be all roses but right now it sits uncomfortably in the dead zone. Unless you are happy to go early and wait it out. Great block but it is a risk.

I am wondering......... Could I sign the contract hopefully, with a price high enough to ensure initial victory And then on inspection say "Nah, its a steaming pile of shit and it'll cost blah blah blah.............my new offer is $XXX,000" Would or could that work? Or would it be back on the table again for the other parties?
Your word is as good as your signature Frank.
Sharing the taste of sick is your community service right?
WHAT WOULD EDDIE DO? MAAAATE! Share a cot with Milton?

The property is conveniently located near transport when it floods.
And you'd look a complete wanker for suggesting it does flood without at least looking at the Q100 maps first

I wasn't suggesting it floods, just someone would raise it. I'm surprised one of your 'fans' didn't notice the tinny yard opposite and mention it before me!
I dont think its an overpay issue, I reckon $300k would take it and I wouldn't be surprised if it sells for the $249 ask bearing in mind that there are currently and have been recently sales of 1200m2 sites with DA's around that $300k mark. There are also several individual small blocks cut off people back yards currently for sale for around the $100k mark
I just sent the email off saying thanks but no thanks. In a previous post there are links to several new devs in Rocky plus there are a few more I didn't list. My concern is at the moment, where will the people come from to fill it all and where will the jobs come to pay for it. I have concerns in the future as I have done at some points in the past, that there will be oversupply. Those who are financially fit and keep their powder dry will be fine. I will be one of them. Others will crash and burn as has happened before.
Who knows, in 3 or 5 years time I may get it or similar, cleared, DA in place for similar money ready for the next boost when or if Gina and Clive crack open Alpha. Or I may have missed the boat and be kicking myself in the nuts at opportunity lost.
A pretty balanced decision all 'round the way you've described it and finally summed it up Frank - IMO. And ta for letting us in on your thought processes as you went through them.PS: I was a Rocky boy born 'n bred. Bits of Rocky flood. (Not much - But some.) For which I'm glad having moved ta Brisbane. 'Cause I was clued up ta watch out for buying in the (not much - but some) bits of Brissie that flood too.
Has a vacancy rate heading to the MOOOOOOON. And more fresh stock coming online daily.
Good information, i noticed a drop in tenant inquiries about 8 months ago in Perth. I put it down to people buying their own places. Peter Thanks

If you have done your research a cash unconditional offer could swing the deal in your favour. Repeat if you have done you research. Best of luck. Peter

If flooding is an issue then you could fill the site with enough dirt to lift you out of that flood zone, or you could build a typical Queensland flood area house and elevate the house itself. Peter

Another old adage (don't care/give rat's about Perth so neither care nor know if it specifically applies to the situation there now or not):
"When sales are hot, rents are not."
PS: Fuck fucking Perth. All 50% of youse 'dislikeable persons' ever REALLY want ta talk about is FUCKING PERTH! Let me guess? Ya live in PERTH? Fuck me - How did I EVER guess that!?! The word 'parochial' comes ta mind ... Youse mob put me in mind off being bombarded by the 'Gay Pride' message that been bein' pumped outta Sydney's annual Mardi Gras for the last however many effing decades ... (Nuthin' wrong with it per se - But fuck, it DOES get hard on the head!)
Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
