Real nice, how could an Nbl player afford this? Close to 3mil.

Not his house

How do you know BJf?

First of all, nice humblebrag Skud by slipping in the "properties I can afford" line.

Secondly, why would you think it's his house? I can't see Ballingers name on the listing. It's in Hallet Cove which is a long way from the dome. It costs 3 million which is 15 years of elite NBL wage. Is every house thats being sold in adelaide at the moment Ballingers or just this one?

Im sorry, but does Adelaide not have Lawyers, Doctors, CEO's etc that earn big money??

This could be anyone of their properties.

Some earn double what Ballinger gets.

Don't know why you would just assume that it is Ballingers.

not balls house

Sounds like a dream house!

If Ballinger could afford a house like that, his NBL wages would not be a major contributor ;)

Indoor court could do with a better ring set up. That one looks crap!

Otherwise, solid house. Are you THE real estate agent.. Skud?

If my memeory serves me well , was living Henley Beach , I think I heard him say .

Lived in Warrandale or nearby if I remember right, had a heap of convo's over the years with him and he lived in Warrandale near the barracks. His wife did personal training at one of the ovals in Warrandale too.

Warradale not Warrandale

Not Adam's house but if anyone knows who does own the place ..... and they need a housesitter at any time ..... be sure to let me know.

Might be an AFLers place .

If he lived in Henley Beach, my unit which is only a 2 minute stroll from Henley Square is currently on the market at a price more in line with what an NBL player earns. Skud, you could have picked that one and sounded more convincing.

Just found this, apparently Weigh hung on to his Perth crib for a year but is now selling

Hahah sorry that was a TYPO...it should say properties I CANT afford.

I thought it might be his house based on the sporting layout..Basketball courts like that arent something your amatuer player would generally have. Everyones looking at the price of the house now days. 5 years ago this could have been in Balls price range.
I doubt he would have lived in Warradale near the army barracks that area IS in my price range and he would have lived within blocks of me...I'd have found out somehow lol

alexkrad, how do you know that's Weigh's house?

At $279K, perfect rental place probably with a 10% yield. Well worth hanging onto. Much better than living in the "BSD" (ex Mt Isa residents would know what I mean)

Now, if it was in Applecross, I would assume it was Weigh's ......

I can tell you that Ballinger did live near Warradale :) Not any of the other areas you guys are talking about. He had a very nice house from what I've heard.

Jack, I'm no real estate guru, but really? 10% yield. To pull that kind of figure that dump would have to rent for about $550 per week. No way!

Updated the topic title. Sorry Skud!

Rents are pretty crazy in some areas of Perth. Some suburbs around Perth airport have 3 brs houses going for $1,200/wk !

(FIFO market)

Your dead to me Isaac

My dead to you, what? ;)

Jack just got the calculation wrong.
He means 5% return ie $279,000 property renting for $279 per week = approx 5% return

ie $279,000 x 5% = $13,950pa rental income / 52 weeks = $$268.27

Exactly, which is why I pointed it out. Anybody can go out and buy a house returning 5% yield. 10% - now that's a little trickier!
