  ANON POST FROM ONE OF OUR MEMBERS: "I'm interested in buying my first house next year roughly around the 300-400k mark and want to know if anyone has any tips or stories that might be useful? Such as what was your deposit? Best bank? Times to buy? or something that you didnt expect to happen with your first home etc etc thanks heaps :)

  It's good to buy near where you live and know the area. Study real-estate.com.au every day. Go on local auctions. :)

  Real estate agents are not working for you they are working for the seller, beware of their tactics to get you to spend more money. Make sure you have a pre settlement inspection to make sure the house is still in good condition once all the furniture is gone. Make sure you open every cupboards, draw and window to see they are in working order. turn on every light, fan and air conditioning unit, check every power point and light switch. There can be some much stuff you can miss and won't find out till it's to late. Best time to buy is summer that way you can see how hot the house is, but september on is the best time for the seller not the buyer as people want to be in their new homes before Christmas/New Year. Make sure you put a condition in any contacts that its is conditional on a flood check and a council building check, and pest inspection, we got stung on that and we couldn't get out off our contract because we didn't have a condition in the contract.

  Make sure the pest n building people know to inform you of rodent problem bed bugs or anything else that is there. They don't tell you about the stuff that will not affect building. We ended up with a unit full of bed bugs and as we paid extra for the furniture and then had to get rid of it and get the pest people in it cost us a fortune. Also get insurance on the building from the date you sign the contract as if something happens it is at your cost. Insurances usually have a cooling off period so you get your money back if contract falls through. :-) as I worked in real estate after this happened I saw more people get stung

  Don't go to real-estate.com. Go to harcourts cranbourne. Look up listing rentals it is the house with the verandah. Or just google 281 cranbourne Rd cranbourne. What are you after, and how much do you want to spend, How many horses etc, sorry for questions but then I know what sort of fencing and land you need
