Opinions on Land Sale and Pricing

Hello. Just looking for opinions, how did this 451m2 piece of land sell for ~ $915,000.

37 Northbrook St Sinnamon Park, Qld 4073

Is this normal or is something dodgy happening?

451m2 of Land at +$1500/sqm is pretty absurd in this suburb.

    Many land prices are absurd IMO.

    We have some much vast land in this beautiful country of ours, and it costs so much to purchase a puny little block.

    In my view, people are trying to get a foot-print as quick as they can as prices are sky-rocketing.
    So they are willing to pay enormous amount of money, while they can afford it.

    I reckon soon, land/house prices will fall or flat-line. But I am sure we have heard this many times before with no relief.

    Cheers

    • "as prices are sky-rocketing."

      were skyrocketing, were.

      Things have really flattened out over the last 6 months. About time too. The stupidity can't last forever.

      • Plenty of places. Esp. New Estates.

        Land prices are sky-rocketing in the new Estates however not so in established suburbs closer to the city.

        Furthermore, titling of land is getting extended till Nov 2018 for purchases in mid-2017 due to its backlog.

        E.g. A block 36 KMs North of Melbourne (Donnybrook - Annadale Estate) sold for $190K (Dec 2017) for a puny 213 MSQ block.
        What are you going to build on that? A double storey - Duplex/Squashed.

        You also get thrashed on Council Rates due to the new Estates.

        I understand if it was the inner-city but there are vast land around that area. A 448 SQ/M block are around $350K at that area.

        If you work in the city, it will take you 1.5 Hours to get home during peak traffic. Therefore 3 Hours a day wasted in the car.

        Edit: No. I didn't buy there :-)

    900k for that little land?
    Wow

  • Foreign buyers, at a guess

    Seems very unreasonable for the size of land.

    More importantly, why did they name the park after a stripper??

  • you sure it's for 1 lot ?

    • Yeh - Price was for Lot 3. Property was sold for around $2mil then subdivided.

        Well damn that's expensive then.

  • It appears that is the price of the entire block before being subdivided. Lots 4 and 5 is currently a tennis court. If that is the case, that price is a bargain.
