Sylvania的Meriton?

ok...和大家講一下感想:

小弟以下deposit.. 多謝板上兩三位熱心的朋友意見.. 有幾位agents朋友和我聯絡也願意退回一些commission.. 但昨天因為一談...（這裡不害其他人做生意), Meriton sales直接開和前面一位朋友說得差不多.. 但老實說, 我被女友罵死了, 因為她同事老公是builder看完那間後, 說應該要少10%來談.. 他覺得我們"可能"還有1,2萬空間.. 但老實說這都是馬後砲.. 我們現在談到的價錢和我們最初想法差不多..但就像樂透, 贏1百萬就覺得應該要贏2百萬.. 所以只能安慰自己再多努力賺錢

但老實說真的case by case.

1.        我們其實有和他說要拿掉carpet和一些小東西  (e.g oyster fitting) and shower screen, little modification. 所以taken into consideration too
2.        我們沒有要Meriton 5.5% finance*
3.        Floorplan當然可能也有差.. 我們選的是中間(Precinct 2)賣的算最不好的
4.        現在快Christmas我們也說馬上願意$3000 bond.
5.        有和他說到Australand都願意付stamp duty and Meriton doesn’t pay interest for 10% deposit.. 現在也算是buyer’s market..So it’s hard to say.

Anyway現在對Sylvania感覺
1.        Transport – 真的不能算好.. Again, if a couple both working at city, don’t think it’s the right place for you (剛好我算self-employed so no need to be office @ 9am). 但我們有試過一早我們從Sylvania開到Sutherland然後坐express to city. Left about 7:30 from Sylvania, got to Sutherland about 7:45. And to city (near wynard station) around 8:30. 晚上bus最晚從husrtville到10pm..
2.        School – 問過一些朋友, St George很多不錯女校.. St George Girls High @ Kogarah和一些catholic school.. 最好的是Caringbah High school (selective school, I rem like top 30 or something).. 所以其實算有不錯, 再不然就Sylvania High school (maybe just average).. 但學校我也是問朋友, 我其實也不是太完全知道..
3.        問華人, 每一個都說不好.. 哪裡都是白人, and most are self employed. 但白人朋友都說那是很不錯suburb. So if you like close to transport or chinese shopping.. This is def not a place for you.
4.        有一個southgate shopping centre, much bigger than I thought. Banks, post office, Coles, Wollies and Kmart都有, parking還滿忙的. 去Miranda & Hurstivlle都也還ok (我們現在住Rockdale)..其實很像, 只是說更多白人, 女友上班要比現在更早半小時起來.. 但因為我們喜歡安靜和靠水的地方, so we feel it’s better to us..just for lifestyle really.
Anyway希望能幫到大家..我有過去Sylvania 12個月sales report, 有需要朋友可以和我拿.  

Meriton考量
1.        價錢和一些similar new project/community比價錢差不多.
2.        Meriton不是最好developer, 但應該比一般小的還是要好. It’s off-the-plan, 我們不少要求希望更personalised to our preference, Meriton也都ok..
當然還有10 days cooling off period…So still too early to say, and 2 years from completio.. SO….first time bought an off the plan..haha wish me luck!

那meriton 5.5% finance..他說要現在就要take..
If not, and after two years, you can take it, but the rate can be different.

而老實說那finance也不是什campaign, 也只是讓他們賺更多錢和讓deal go smooth.

因為很多meriton project在bank都undervalue, and will not go ahead
所以他們就做2 yrs only讓你可以settle.. After that, they make money and wont care after.. 所以兩年後你也要希望會升, 要不然可能還是不好貸or you will need to pay mortgage insurance still.

p.s. 這Sylvania  project連sales都說很surprise..因為這地好像是2010 （還是2001買的) 然後想蓋apartment (4 story high).. 但council不准最後才改townhouse和waterfront apartments.
