How Much is That House In The Window?

What is going on with service providers in the housing resale market?

I wrote to LJ Hooker asking for a price on a house in Frensham Rd, Macleod. There was no price advertised on the internet so I had no choice but to write in. This was the agents response:

"With this property we have specific instruction from the Vendor not to quote a price or a price range. However if you contact me or leave a contact number I can discuss the conditions of sale and possible development on this property. Also I have a list of recent sales in the local area that might help."

As a buyer how am I expected to buy a house if I am not given a price? The agent didn't even provide an expected price range. Is it $500,000, $800,000 over $1,000,000.

Is this an acceptable response? I am not a developer. I am just looking for somewhere to live.

So am I able to bid on this property? Who knows? Certainly not me.
