We're moving house in a couple of weeks. All in all signed, sealed, delivered in 4 days. Sure, it's not the cheapest place you can get. But it's a lovely place, water view, really close to the ferry, closer to my work, all internal mod-cons (except airco though). And the rental agency was really helpful and forthcoming, though we did tighten the screws on them real hard, as we weren't really desperate for another place (just a bit sick and tired of the noise around here at the current place, after 2.5 years). All in all pretty happy with how things worked out. You see all these doomsday scenarios around Sydney on TV, about 30 people showing up at a viewing, bidding up rent,... We just made an appointment for a viewing, liked what we saw, and negotiated over email. We didn't like the deal we were getting, said bugger that, and got a better deal: more money longer in our own pocket. Signed today, moving in two weeks.
We did see another place, cheaper but smaller and older, at the same day. But that was kinda crap (we thought). But again, available, and certainly livable.
