      I wont even look at a property if it doesnt have a price, hopefully others do the same so that we can force them to put on prices lol

      Go to their website, give them all your personal information and credit card info, then they can charge you to see the ridiculously overpriced housing market that they helped cause

      The real question is: what is the point of REA’s when none of them have a brain?

      It’s so stupid! Last year I was thinking of selling and moving closer to family. But when I want looking, the whole lack of price thing was just scummy and scammy, and I don’t want any part of the BS.
      Imagine going to Coles, and nothing has a price. Every item was marked as – expressions of interest, offers over, best offer. You’d just walk out. The whole industry is just a giant cesspool of sneaky behaviour with the transparency of a ten week old turd.

      To artificially stimulate the market by giving you the idea that things are worth more then they actually are. Think waiting lists, limited editions, RARE listed items OOP. Same deal.

      I’m hearing you. We are looking to sell our house and buy a new one and every property we look at has no price on it or the real estate agent say they’re looking in the vicinity of a price you make an offer and you’re always short two or 300,000.

      Yeah it’s incredibly annoying. Go onto the realestate or property.com pages for your property of interest. Ctrl-U to view the page source, Ctrl-F and search for “price” or “marketing_price_range” or variations of that. Sometimes the agent put a range in the backend

      I use a browser plugin (I’ll add it here once I get home and can check what it’s called) that shows which price bracket the REA selected when they created the listing. This at least allows you to figure out if it is expensive or ridiculously expensive.

      It’s almost like hiding the prices and ensuring no price transparency is their goal. Imagine if we could do this in any other regulated market.

      Why did you blur out the addresses? Why the secrecy if these are properties for sale?

      Also you blurred out the address but it’s still got the address in the subdivision photo 😐

      Probably very much a case of: If you have to ask, you cannot afford it peasant…

      If you have to ask you can’t afford it.

      No but seriously it’s a pain in the ass, there are a few chrome extensions that will at least get the agents price and range for you. I use “property mate” and it works quite well.

      You’re not the target market.

      The target market are people who are sufficiently motivated to call

      Yea it’s tough, use property.com.au to get rough figures on specific property values. Be careful the data can be old and incomplete picture, I have seen $100k under and $100k over an we were looking at the 800-900 range so it’s quite a big leap.

      You can normally see that it is wrong by checking recent sold listings. If something similar sold in December for $100k more than what property.com is advertising, you know it’s probably $100k under actual expected.

      Results may vary, this was just my experience after recently purchasing In the Logan area.

      OK a lot of this is personal taste but to me all those properties are shit, probably nothing under 7 figures. Market is cooked.

      1) Goodna

      2) Be a nice patio if there was any actual garden left over, I doubt there is. Probably like living 3/4 of a kilometre from the sun in summer

      3) I don’t even know where Parkinson is

      4) Best property on the list imo

      5) I don’t know where Kingston is either. Asbestos riddled shack.

      6) Dog Kennel on a postage stamp block

      7) I can’t read the dimensions but if it’s a decent size could be good

      8) runner up best property. Landscapers wet dream

      Engagement. They want you to call them so they can try to work their ‘magic’ on you.
