Anyone looking for a housemate?

Post by manofunreal »

So my wife just broke up with me after 8 years of being together (2.5 years of marriage) and I need to find somewhere to live reasonably soon... Anyone got a room or know anyone who has?

Any other suggestions on where else to look? Craigslist sucks and it's slim pickings on Gumtree and Realestate.com.au

Thanks mate... Let me know if you hear of anything. I'm house-sitting until the end of August but I've got a supportive family so there are options once I move out of there if I haven't found anything yet.

actually, not sure of your budget but i found single bedroom places around Flemington, Moone Ponds, Ascot Vale or even Essendon were not over crowded with lots of people looking. every place we looked at only had like one or two other people. so pretty good in comparison to a lot of areas.

Thanks for your thoughts Lizkins... I'm on a fairly crappy income so I probably can't afford much more than $150 a week. I think I'll struggle to find a decent sharehouse for that, nevermind a place to myself. Might be good to meet some new people though so a sharehouse could be good in that way.

Pretty good site easy to navigate etc etc. I've used it a couple of times. Just put in a bit about yourself your budget etc etc and it's all good.
Hope you find something soon :(

i swear, gumtree. write exactly what you want/who you are, be really honest, trawl daily, and you will find somewhere. some of my best housies have come from there.

and if you are willing to move northcote way etc you will totes find a place for less than $150 a week.

good luck!

i wish this has come up a couple weeks ago cos my new housie is driving me a little crazy

Haha whoops! :lol:

Thanks for the tip on Gumtree. I guess I don't really know what I want. I haven't lived in a sharehouse since 2000! Even before that it was always with friends (though that wasn't always a good thing)
