CFMG Residential Communities

Creating real neighbourhoods

Here at CFMG Capital we have developed a strategic pipeline of projects to be delivered over the next five to seven years, and have the vision to be the leading developer of residential communities having established a diversified mix of land for future community developments.

Despite the recent market uncertainty presented by rising interest rates and cost of living pressures, we remain very optimistic about the long-term potential of the residential land market with strong underlying conditions, including low unemployment and high population growth.

Our Directors and Senior Management have a strong history in real estate and believe there is an opportunity at this point in the property cycle to continue to expand the CFMG Capital forward strategic pipeline and deliver on the vision for future growth.

The key to CFMG Capital’s success has been working to a clearly defined strategy which enables our long term vision to be achieved and in turn for us to continue to deliver value to our customers through disciplined acquisition and a conservative but realistic approach to investment.

A focus for CFMG Capital during the past twelve months has been on expanding our forward project pipeline and to the ongoing development of our existing residential communities.

In accordance with our strategic plan CFMG Capital have undertaken the following key activities:

Completed The acquisition of our new project sites: • • • • •

Future Pimpama development site Mallee Grove at Jimboomba Farriers Creek at Burpengary Pumicestone Pocket at Caboolture Extensions to Arbourwood at Morayfield

Contracted • • • •

Riverleigh at Logan Reserve Extensions to Arbourwood at Morayfield Extensions to our future Bellmere development site Extensions to our future Logan Reserve site at Calume Court

The CFMG Capital forward project pipeline is now over 1800+ lots with a total gross realisation of over $650 million.

Opened The Sunday Living Homes sales and experience centre at the Arbourwood residential community in Morayfield in north Brisbane.

Market Analysis National Market Update Over the past few months, the residential property market across Australia has begun to show signs of renewed growth, with both prices and auction clearance rates sharply rising despite the RBA’s recent interest rate hikes.

CoreLogic’s most recent ‘Monthly Housing Charts’ for May 2023 show that residential property prices across Australia’s capital cities have risen by 1.4% (see right chart), with this recent quarter marking the first quarterly increase since the same time last year. This increase in property values is largely being driven by a significant increase in overseas migration, with this expected to continue into the future.

House Prices It is becoming increasingly evident that house prices across Australia have started to rebound after bottoming out, with expectations being that they will continue to rise over the foreseeable future. In addition to overseas migration, a lack of supply and vacancy rates reaching as low as 1% will continue to drive property prices recent growth.

As interest rates begin to stabilise, it is thought that housing demand will only continue to grow. According to CoreLogic, if property prices across Australia continue to rise at the current rate, they will end up approximately 4% higher during 2023.

RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES OVERVIEW 2023

SEQ Market Update The South East Queensland property market has recently begun to show signs of positive growth with housing prices rising across the past few months. The Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast property markets have seen the biggest rise in price; however, property prices have also begun to rebound across Regional Queensland.

According to recent research data released by CoreLogic, every region across Brisbane has seen their property prices increase over the past 3 months. The biggest increases have been seen in North Brisbane with prices up by 4%, while South Brisbane has seen a jump of 3.2%, East Brisbane 1% and West Brisbane 0.9%.

According to property experts, this recent rebound in Queensland property prices is largely being driven by a lack of supply and positive market sentiment, with purchasers beginning to re-enter the market despite sellers being somewhat reluctant to list their properties for sale. It is expected that prices will continue to rise over the months to come, with momentum continuing to gather.

Here at CFMG Capital, much like the wider property market over the past few months, we have started to see buyers returning to the market, with both enquires and sales steadily increasing across all of our South East Queensland estates.

As previously mentioned, Queensland’s other property markets have also seen property prices rise, with the Gold Coast region seeing its prices rise by 2.6% over the past 3 months, while Logan has risen by 0.7% and Ipswich has risen by 1%.

Melbourne Market Update Melbourne’s property market has also begun to see signs of recovery over the past few months, with property prices experiencing a 1.6% increase during this period. Much like other states across Australia this increase in property prices is largely driven by increased migration and a lack of housing supply.

This lack of housing supply can be largely demonstrated by recent data released by Domain which shows that auction listings are down by 29% over the past twelve months, while auction clearance rates have risen to 70%.

Acquisitions Strategy The key focus for CFMG Capital is to acquire strategic residential development sites that meet a strict investment criteria and enable CFMG Capital to offer attractive residential investment opportunities to our current and future client base.

In order to achieve this, a steady flow of new acquisitions is required, with the primary challenge being to ensure they meet the clearly defined investment criteria underpinning the CFMG Capital development business. This criteria is defined generally below: •

Proximity to a major capital city;

•

Population growth and demographics of the locality;

•

Proximity to existing and proposed competing land estates (particularly master planned estates);

•

Proximity to key planned infrastructure projects;

•

Employment opportunities within the locality; and

•

Lifestyle choices including schools, family security, transportation and recreation.

RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES OVERVIEW 2023

In the assessment of potential projects CFMG Capital targets short, medium and long-term opportunities with the view to fill the groups development pipeline from both ends.

Recently here at CFMG Capital we have taken a more considered approach to site identification, focusing our efforts towards opportunities within the South East Queensland market. Particular attention has been to targeting opportunities located within the Moreton Bay and Logan growth corridors, while also focusing on sites adjacent to, or in the immediate vicinity of existing CFMG Capital communities.

By purchasing adjacent to, or in the immediate vicinity of existing projects – CFMG Capital are able to expand existing projects taking advantage of existing marketing, development and sales momentum, or in some cases replace completed projects to meet the demands of various sales networks.

Whilst it is important for CFMG Capital to acquire short and medium-term projects, that can be released into the market over the next couple of years, it is also critical for CFMG Capital to look further into the future and acquire sites on longerterm agreements. This is key for CFMG Capital to future proof the group’s stock supply.

These long-term acquisitions also provide CFMG Capital the opportunity to build future value across these projects by obtaining Development Approvals and/or rezoning, while also allowing CFMG Capital to benefit off the continued growth in residential land values.

During the past twelve months CFMG Capital have managed to acquire short, medium and long-term development sites, across over 10 separate transactions totalling approximately 700 residential lots. A snapshot of the Group’s existing development pipeline is shown as follows:
