It's interesting how cheap the ACC levy is compared to our TAC levy which naively seems like the coverage is similar enough. It depends on a bunch of stuff but it's 500+ a year here.

Will have to check it out if they're open around Xmas.

Oh damn, I hadn't read that anywhere. Just more bureaucracy? Or cancelled?

My just thought of approach to solve this would be that all the real estate sites have to publish the agents inflation figures from previous ranges vs final sale price prominently and what that would mean for the provided range.

It's going to be interesting. My guess is a properties with a few interested parties sell by private sale a week before auction. Properties with lots of interest will maintain the underquote with a low reserve and let the auction go nuts anyway. I hope it helps, but agents are too good at gaming.

You just reminded me of this, possibly the funniest news article I've ever read www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The elevator close button of webpages.
