so when do you start your plot to get them to want to move out? -- nm - b. Nov 16, 18:03 2

So, we had a discussion about this last year when Canada said going over ask is normal. How does it work in Australia? -- nm - David Nov 16, 17:45 1
- depends. if it's listed at just a price, under is acceptable. if it's listed as 'offers over', you go over (unless it's been sitting for a while). - mafic Nov 16, 17:50
How much over were you? -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 17:43 3
- about 16. in Australia sometimes you get places that are 'offers over x' - mafic Nov 16, 17:47 2
  - occasionally there are auctions as well. usually only for high-end stuff, but occasionally for others as well. -- nm - mafic Nov 16, 17:58
  - Interesting. Thanks. -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 17:51
