ISSUE TWO FOR 2017

Welcome A word from Michael Xylas..

The 2017 Selling season has produced exceptional results so far, with auction clearance rates remaining high and property prices soaring.

There is still a shortage of houses in our area for growing families, where the demand is continuously pushing up these values.

Competition is also becoming even stiffer for apartments with prices in the cheaper suburbs surging well above Sydney’s average median prices.

As we come into winter, some vendors may consider holding off till spring when the flowers are out and they feel more people will be looking. When in fact, the best time to sell is when your property is presented to the market with the least competition for prospective buyers.

If you really want to get top dollar you should consider selling in winter and don’t worry, buyers won’t let a little cold scare them from the home of their dreams, it just might be yours they are looking for.

Overall this buoyant market is positive for those who have invested in bricks and mortar and is set to continue.

Graphic Arts Club The multi-award-winning South Sydney Graphic Arts Club in Mascot offers outstanding function facilities in a stylish venue with renowned food & beverage.

The Graphic Arts Club derives its name from two clubs, The Printers Union. Originally located in the city and the other, the Businessman's club called South Sydney Graphics Arts Club.

Graphic Arts is an exclusive club with only 6,000 local members, but if you live outside the area you are more than welcome to drop in as a guest.

They offer a great environment and most importantly great drinks and service. The club is well know around the area for their catering, their two best selling dishes are the chicken schnitzel and the salt and pepper squid, "Delicious" as Michael describes it!

Graphic Arts Club also hosts a number of functions, including weddings, christenings, birthdays, as well as casual get togethers and dinners. Bill, the events manager is here to help organise any event from a cocktail lunch to a wedding party of up to 250 guests at any one time!
