We've sold our house in Voyager Point

When we left Australia we were intending to rent out our house in Voyager Point (Sydney) rather than selling it as it is rather costly to buy and sell housing in Australia and we liked our house that we had put so much time and effort into. A couple of weeks into our time in America we received a phone call (after midnight, the agent didn't know we had left the country!) from an agent in Australia with a potential buyer (even though we had told the agent that we had decided to not sell). We would have said no, but the offer was high enough (above the previously estimated selling price) that it covered the costs of buying and selling. Add to this the fact that rental returns were not fantastic (relative to the property value) ... so in the end we decided to sell! We wish the new owners a happy time with their new home and garden. If you want to contact us via snail-mail to an Australian address, please use our parents' addresses (they are still at the same place they have been for over 20 years). Posted by Picasa
