JUN / JUL 2016

BOURKES BLOG WELCOME Despite it being called a quieter year in real estate, Bourkes sold only $10M less than last year, so not such a change.

Population numbers coming to Perth are down, however the locals understand this is a great time to buy and to trade up in the market. This opportunity will exist only for the balance of 2016 when stocks of certain product types will start to thin out.

Finance is available at low rates, sellers are motivated, so don’t say we didn’t tell you “now is

Major changes for homes over $2 Million - Don’t get caught!

As of 1st July, all residents selling a home in excess of $2 million will need to obtain a Clearance Certificate from the Australian Tax Office (ATO) before they sell. This Certificate will be available via online lodgement from 26th June (Talk about last minute!).

If you don’t obtain this Certificate prior to sale, the ATO will take 10% of the sale price. Settlement agents are compelled to send these funds to the ATO. Sellers can only then get a refund from the ATO by lodging a taxation return that year!

The legislation is brought in to ensure Non-Resident sellers pay capital gains on the sale of their homes but it catches all sellers under the same legislation.

More information is available on www.ato.gov.au/mediacentre/ articles/property_withholding_ rules-explained

DO AUCTIONS WORK IN PERTH? Yes, they do!

If your goal is to sell your property in the shortest possible time and on your terms, then you need to seriously consider selling by the auction method.

Without doubt, on the auction day, there will be an exciting action-packed 15 minutes where the auctioneer is working overtime to achieve the best result for you!

More than that, an auction has many advantages and if we look at just two, you should begin to see how they can work to your advantage: The first reason is that you will be offering your property to the market on your terms which is usually cash unconditional with a firm settlement date. What seller wouldn’t want those conditions?

The second is the number of days on market – REIWA figures indicate “it is now 26 days faster to sell by auction than private treaty.” What seller wouldn’t want that today?

My Next Auction

According to REIWA: “The average selling days for auctions decreased steadily last year with each passing quarter and it is now 26 days faster to sell by auction than private treaty.”

These reasons alone should pique your interest then add the finite marketing campaign and the fact you are free to sell beforehand. And what about knowing all the buyers will be focussed and ready to buy your property?

An auction is a sale process which is gaining a lot of interest from serious sellers (and buyers!) in Perth.

Be amongst them!

Saturday 9th July 2016 11:00am 22 Kilkenny Circle Waterford

I would love you to come to my next auction to see how it works and perhaps have a private chat with me about how selling your home at auction could work well for you.

SUBURB PROFILE

RIVERVALE

Recapping on our last issue of the Springs Development, it is the area bounded by the Graham Farmer Freeway, Great Eastern Highway, Brighton Road and the Swan River foreshore.

We mentioned last issue we would discuss the story behind the street names.

Riversdale Road was named after a theme from Melbourne’s road systems but was actually the name of this part of the Belmont suburb around the 1900’s. At the time, other areas close by were known as New London and Redcliffe.

Lauterbatch Way is named after a pioneering family of the Belmont District and in actual fact one of the Lauterbatch Family still lives in the Springs area.

Hallam Way was in recognition of a used car salesman Jack Hallam who lived in the area for nearly 50 years from the late 1930’s. There is a character home on Riversdale Road that is recognised as the ‘Jack Hallam’s Residence’ Regatta Terrace of course, follows on from the Springs being a popular site for rowing during the 1920’s and 30’s.

Homelea Court is from the nursing home (Homelea Convalescent Home) that was run from 1948-1968 and later became occupied by the St Columbians Mission.

Aboriginal significance: within the Springs Development is an Aboriginal Heritage site to acknowledge the long and continuing relationship with the river and nearby sites that the Aboriginal people have.

So next time you are walking, riding or travelling through the Springs Development and look up at a street sign, know that you are looking at a piece of history frozen in time.

Rivervale is my home and recreation area.

If you want someone who knows Rivervale give me a call!
