WORD FROM THE CEO Welcome to the first edition of Urban Appeal – Choice Homes’ magazine highlighting our many investment opportunities in residential real estate.

Over the past 22 years of the company’s operation and my 12 years as CEO I’ve seen a number of property cycles come and go, and through a series of market forces I predict this year to shape up as the one in which Queensland’s housing market will shine.

Over the past 12 to 18 months the property market in the southern states, particularly in their capital cities, has experienced stellar growth.

Sydney house prices have increased more than 26 per cent over the past two years, while Melbourne has enjoyed double-digit growth of 17.4 per cent according to the latest information from ratings agency Fitch.

While Brisbane and neighbouring cities including Ipswich and the Gold Coast are leading the charge for capital growth, the property cycle is such that regional areas like Mackay will also start to benefit, providing once-in-acycle investment opportunities to buy at ‘near bottom’ of the market.

While growth in these markets is tipped to continue, albeit at a much slower rate, many investors are now looking for more affordable opportunities to purchase their next property.

Choice Homes’ has strategically positioned itself in a number of these major growth areas to provide a range of turnkey house and land packages for property investors.

It’s no secret that the spotlight is now firmly on Queensland as the place the smart money is heading.

While this magazine aims to give you more information about these developments and Choice Homes as a company, you can always contact us directly to find out more or to register for your own personal login for even more market and product news.

Late last year the QBE Australian Housing Outlook prepared by property analysts BIS Shrapnel said Brisbane is set to outperform other capital cities over the next three years, tipping 17 per cent median house price growth on the back of a supply deficiency that will remain over that time.

RP Data CoreLogic research director Tim Lawless also said that smaller capitals like Brisbane are actually starting to see their rolling 12-month dwelling values change and improve.

of Companies

Multi-award winning building company, Choice Homes, specialises in market leading, turn-key packages and is predominately active in southeast Queensland, including the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Ipswich and Beaudesert, and in major regional centre Mackay. To address the uplift in demand and enquiry, 2015 will bring another four display homes in key areas of the northern Gold Coast and Mackay.

subdivision is extremely close to Mackay’s premier beach, Shoal Point, and has a strong local following from the existing family orientated community.

Visit www.royalsands.com.au for additional information.

While these achievements are impressive in their own right, when you delve deeper the 22 year old family owned building company has expanded into many complimentary businesses within the real estate and development industry, which are also success stories in their own right.

In southeast Queensland within the highly sought after growth corridor between the Gold Coast and Brisbane, Choice’s premier land developments are selling at a rate not seen since pre-GFC as the Coast heads towards another property uplift.

Choice’s land development arm, Raceview Developments, currently brings to market Royal Sands Estate in Mackay. With a land supply of between 80 to 100 lots per year, this 400-lot

Sale to Handover Process STARTING WITH THE SALES SERVICE Choice Homes employ six full-time Client Managers to coordinate stock allocation, sales and enquiry generated by our valued referral base. These REIQ registered client managers are industry qualified, experienced, and are contactable seven days a week, 24 hours a day to provide all the tools you need to successfully sell a Choice Homes property. Let your Client Manager choose the stock for you, or for a more hands on approach use your username and password to access the business end of the Choice Homes website to select your own stock. Either way we ensure that you have all the information at hand when you need it the most.

CONTRACTS ADMINISTRATION SERVICE Administration is a very integral part of our service to you. Turnaround timeframes for contract processing is a three day policy for all HIA construction contracts (providing that we have received all of the documentation complete, concise and correct).

This short turnaround maximises the time that financiers need to present a case to obtain unconditional approvals. Choice Homes has three dedicated full-time staff members to satisfy this particular task, and feedback from all financiers and brokers has created a new level in industry standards.

DELIVERY Market tested systems are in place to ensure that delivery of each home is over and above the expectations for

W W W. C H O I C E H O ME S . CO M .A U

our clients from date of signing. Our ongoing and ever improving systems are in place for construction supervisors that provide pinpoint accuracy for ensuring an as early as possible start date, build timeframe, completion date and consistent quality control. All builds are monitored by the Construction Manager on a weekly, if not daily basis, to ensure consistency and accountability throughout construction.

QUALITY CONTROL Quality control is outsourced to an independent company to ensure stand alone and non biased quality assurance. Upon completion of each home, two inspections are carried out, the second of which is carried out 10 days after the first. This 10day period gives the building supervisor a chance to rectify any product or trade defects that may have been identified in the first inspection.

MAINTENANCE SERVICE Home maintenance is managed in-house to ensure an effective, consistent and reliable service. If an item is brought to our attention we work closely with the tenant and the property manager with all emergency works escalated and rectified ASAP. This service is recognised and fully supported by all Property Managers that are given the opportunity to lease a property on behalf of the owner.

SUPPORT SERVICE Client support during the construction period is maintained by way of regular communication via innovative client website login, email,

10

telephone or post every month or at every stage of construction. This keeps our valued clients up to date throughout the building process.

Two full-time staff are solely dedicated to the ongoing communication of our clients and the results have provided some great feedback for Choice Homes (see our Success Stories for more glowing reports from current and past clients). With repeat business being recognised as a major part of our business model, Choice Homes has implemented a two year after sales communication program that allows for a far greater likelihood that your clients asks you again for a Choice Home when they are in a position to build once again.

Written communication every month for a two year period after completion offers advice such as up-coming events that the owner will need to be aware of, for example RBA updates, property management re-signing, six month maintenance inspections and regular updates on new development opportunities. We realise your client remains your client, however if you would prefer us not to contact your clients with general updates we can direct all updates directly to you, the selling agent.

UPDATES WHEN YOU NEED THEM Every authorised Choice Homes selling agent is provided with a username and password to check the latest stock opportunities and review their client’s stage in the building progress. If you don’t already have one contact us today to register.

FOCUS ON QUEENSLAND

T h e g r o w t h state

While the Queensland property market has now picked up more momentum than the southern capitals of Sydney and Melbourne, it’s yet to be fully reflected in price growth data According to Hotspotting founder Terry Ryder, “The big shift has been in sales volumes and that’s what I mean when I say there are 254 growth suburbs in the region – 254 suburbs throughout Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast with distinct patterns of rising sales activity.”

As Australia’s fastest-growing state and a resource sector powerhouse, Queensland outputs a fifth of Australia’s GDP, backboned by some of the country’s largest mining infrastructure projects and strong agriculture and tourism sectors.

The state’s resource-rich north continues to draw massive foreign investment. In August 2014, approval was given for the $16.5 billion Carmichael Coal and Rail project, Australia’s largest coal mine, in Queensland’s Galilee Basin.

While its real estate market is led by Brisbane, Queensland’s capital and administrative centre, it is also buoyed regional ‘muscle towns’ supported by big mining wages and lifestyle locations near the coast or in tree-change areas.

BIS Shrapnel research points to ‘sizeable dwelling deficiencies’ in Queensland compared with market demand, an imbalance which has already induced lower-than-average vacancy rates and will make Queensland the second most under supplied housing market in the country.

One of the state’s shining lights, the Gold Coast, is now the fastest-growing region in Australia, with a rapidly-increasing population and a shortage of housing, with its northern growth corridor proving a boon for property investors.

Between 2006 and 2007, the area recorded the largest population rise of all places in Australia, and after a period of subdued growth following the GFC it’s bounced back to record strong rates in 2014.

Dr Andrew Wilson, Domain Group senior economist says, “There’s no doubt that the market is up and running now.”

Economy and growth • Queensland’s economy experi-

enced the second highest average annual growth rate of any Australian state or territory over the last 20 years.

• Looking ahead in Queensland,

sustained low interest rates and stronger population growth are expected to strengthen spending in the household sector.

• The Queensland State Budget

forecasts economic growth of three per cent, second only to Western Australia and above the national growth rate of 2.75 per cent.

W W W. C H O I C E H O ME S . CO M .A U

Infrastructure and amenity • $8.15 b six star regional

integrated resort project, Aquis in Cairns will support The Queensland Government’s target objective of doubling tourist overnight expenditure to $30 billion by 2020.

• The state government will invest

$7.5 million over three years in priority geoscience projects the mining and petroleum industries believe are vital to supporting exploration growth in Queensland.

• The state features five World

Heritage-listed sites, internationally-renowned natural landscapes and over 450 diverse national parks and forests.

14

Employment • As of September 2014,

Queensland accounted for 20.3 per cent of Australia’s total employment.

• Health care and social

assistance, professional, scientific and technical services, construction and mining are forecast to provide more than 60 per cent of employment growth in the next five years.

• A strengthening in the house-

hold sector and increasing exports will support a recovery in employment growth from 2013-14 onwards and a steady improvement in the unemployment rate.

THE GOLD COAST Australia’s 6th largest city

The Gold Coast City, with a resident population expected to reach approximately 650,000 by the end of 2018, is Australia’s sixth-largest city by population size and is located in one of the nation’s fastest-growing regions – southeast Queensland.

Covering an area of 1,400 square kilometres, the city’s boundaries extend from just south of Beenleigh to Coolangatta, taking in South Stradbroke Island and part of Moreton Bay and extending west to the hinterland of Mount Tamborine and the Lamington and Darlington Ranges.

Welcoming more than 11 million visitors per year, it is Australia’s leading tourist destination, with a large number and wide range of accommodation options. According to the Gold Coast City Council the city enjoys a growth rate of nine per cent and has access to an economic catchment of three million people. Since 2001, the

W W W. C H O I C E H O ME S . CO M .A U

local economy has doubled in size from $13.4 billion to an estimated $23.3 billion.

In 2018 the Gold Coast will host one of the largest elite multi-sport events in the world, providing unprecedented international exposure which is expected to flow on to business, trade and investment opportunities.

Some of the brightest real estate prospects are located in tightly held areas of the northern Gold Coast and built by 22-year-old award winning family owned company Choice Homes.

Estates such as the 109 lots at

Coomera Grand and stages 1 & 2 at Foxwell Rise, which sold out in record time late 2014, have all led the way for the latest releases in the heart of the booming Gold Coast growth corridor.

Norman Springs, The Meadows, Karingal Drive, Pimpama Village and newly released stages at Foxwell Rise offer market leading property investment value with close proximity to new and existing infrastructure, performance of at least five per cent return on investment, and peace of mind through completed turn-key packages.

Meadows is only about 20 minutes from Surfers Paradise and 30 minutes to Brisbane CBD on the M1. That makes commuting to work easy. And a proposed bus-rail interchange will only make it easier.

Close to everything Imagine your family living so close to famous Gold Coast Theme Parks, but in a quiet setting that’s everything you want it to be. With schools and a shopping centre so handy, The Meadows is the perfect community for you to build a life for yourself.

Choice and flexibility The Meadows have taken the headache out of finding a new home with the introduction of a Master Builders

Display Village. There you will find an ample selection of home designs and friendly staff to help you craft the design you are searching for.

At home with nature It’s no coincidence The Meadows features a kookaburra in the logo.

LEDA is committed to preserving a green buffer through the very heart of the estate, so the ‘native residents’ also have a place to call home. The LEDA team of dedicated urban designers has made sure

there’s a blend of parkland and environmental retreats accessible to every resident. There’s room to kick a ball, or just kick back and spread out a picnic blanket. All lots are fully serviced, including natural gas and NBN fibre optic/broadband communication networks to keep you connected. The Meadows proximity to the M1 makes it ideal for the Brisbane commute, yet it’s quiet enough to disconnect from work life, and reconnect with your family and community.
