I didnt realise buying a house like this was an auction process. Sounds very dodgy to me. I was of the understanding that you put an offer in and other people put their offers in and the vendor looks at them and takes the best offer. i didnt think the agent could go back to prospective buyers and say you need to put in a better offer

Well as far as I'm concerned it was a case of the vendor having a price they wanted, the offers being lower than that price and I was given the option of increasing my offer and if I decided not to it goes to the next person to decide.

TDK may have had the lower dollar figure, but the better terms. ie - Some others may have been "subject to sale" and he may have been good to go, cashed up.

Hopefully the amount wasn't too much, well, couldn't have been prohibitive if he's locked and loaded. Anywho, don't drag him down man!

Good for you TDK, it's an exciting time mate. I remember when Mrs.Boon and I purchased our first, very modest timber frame 2 bedroomer in Royal Park. Was our first step into home ownership and now, some 20 years later, we're into our third ( and perhaps final ) home that we've always wanted.

You still in the Peninsula, I assume?

Yes I believe you're right Booney, I was more 'ready to go' as I know another person that put in an offer was still waiting for their house to sell.

Thanks Boon and yes still on the Peninsula.

I have recently purchased my first home.

This afternoon I signed the mortgage forms at the bank and yesterday I went to see my conveyancer, so everything is now almost finalized for settlement in two weeks time.

I'm very excited, everything I've had to do for it is a bit overwhelming but I'm very happy with the house I've bought and I knew as soon as I walked it I wanted it.

The real estate agent has been very helpful, easy going and genuine good bloke, very different to some of the agents I've met over the past 6 months. I couldn't get to the first open due to footy so I rang the agent and he allowed me to go and look at the house before anyone else on the Saturday morning. From there I was effectively first in best dressed, first one to put in an offer and while I had to come up from my offer price to beat off two other offers I was his first preferred buyer.

I did my home loan pre approval in October so been officially looking since then and have looked at about 25 properties prior to finding my house.

The great thing is it's a 3 year old house so basically brand new and I don't have to do anything to it. I move from our family home that's 5 years old to a newer house and working full time I don't want to be spending my free time doing renovations, so buying a newer house was always going to be the objective. Working full time for 7 years now has allowed me to be in a strong financial position where I can buy a nice first home. I'm incredibly lucky to be where I am right now with the job I have.

Here's hoping for a smooth transition into my new home.

Bought a house in October last year. We were one of two offers the vendor was interested in. The other offer was for a fair bit more money, but one of their conditions was they had to wait for their current property to be sold. We offered less money but could move in much sooner we won for that reason.

I've been using Autodesk SketchBook on the Samsung Tab to unwind after work. There's "challenges" through DeviantArt intergrated into the app, so I don't need to try to think of new things to draw. I'm going to pay the $7 for the Pro package to get all the extra shit once I figure this stuff out.

I've been learning some new functions as I go. Combined with Spotify, I can zone out for an hour or two and just draw. Its really relaxing.

This was my best one last night. The challenge was "Bring your art tools to life"

Still being in bed at 11.20 with the only incentive to get out being getting to the pub.

We got our house because the seller didnt want it to be a rental and liked the idea of first home owners moving in. And also they got along great with the neighbors and didnt want rental/ferals moving in for them.....and got us instead...
