Australians’ love of property is unique in the world. It grew naturally, long before social media, when attending open for inspections inexplicably became a weekend ritual. It’s just what we do; get a takeaway coffee, pop into an open for inspection, and later take the kids to the footy, because property is the other big game in town. In a shifting market, knowledge is power and, that aside, we are habitually real estate obsessed. Your Domain, Nine’s new property show, airs every Saturday at 10am and co-hosts Shelley Craft and Chris Kohler share their insights this week. ●

COVER STORY Shelley Craft and Chris Kohler leave no brick unturned in the property market.

S

pring has sprung. Flowers are budding, bees are buzzing and, most excitingly for a nation of property voyeurs, the real estate market is emerging from its winter hibernation.

The traditional spike in listings and corresponding bounce in agents’ steps brings equal parts excitement and anxiety for vendors and buyers alike. But while spring 2019 promises to be a unique market – some would say uncharted territory, but more on that later – the experts say the universals of buying and selling remain unchanged.

As design maven and a co-host of the Channel Nine renovation juggernaut The Block, Shelley Craft has seen plenty of theories floated on the art of the best real estate deal.

“There’s a big difference between renovating with an eye to making a profit and renovating to create your ideal home,” she says. “You can follow trends and try to make something that will appeal to that fictitious buyer in your head, but if you inject your own style into the project people will respond to that emotion because real estate is at its core an emotional business.”

Television audiences are now able to see Craft’s real estate know-how transcend The Block as she host Nine’s new property show Your Domain alongside Nine journalist Chris Kohler.

A property show with a difference, Your Domain – which airs Saturdays at 10am – is about the here and now facing

my parents always say, ‘If only we’d bought something’.

I don’t believe in the ‘if only’. It doesn’t sit well with me.”

So – should you?

Co-host of Your Domain and reporter for Nine News, Kohler’s take is that the 2019 spring market presents unique advantages for people on both sides of the property transaction.

“The secret is in knowing how to approach what has become quite a unique market right now, with interest rates at historical lows and clearance rates high,” Kohler says. “People have a hunger to know where that leaves them, and there are certainly opportunities to be had. Anything can happen.”

The annual increase in competition at this time of year can yield unexpected results, for one: “The analysts and economists I’m speaking to say it’s expected listings will pick up so the big question mark is, will clearance rates remain as high as they have been, or will listings create an equilibrium?”

Kohler says.

The other variable earmarked by Kohler is that market consensus anticipates another interest rate cut from the RBA before the end of the year. “The question mark there is when will it come and how the market responds to it,” he says.

“We had back-to-back cuts in June and July and the latest data show a strong lift in Sydney and Melbourne prices in August, so the theory is another cut will push that further.

“The secret is in knowing how to approach what has become quite a unique market right now ...” CHRIS KOHLER Australians who have an active interest in the property market, whether looking to buy or sell, or finding themselves somewhere in the middle of the cycle.

The hour-long weekly show is replete with tricks around increasing the value of your property, getting it ready for sale, choosing an agent, deciphering market statistics, and finding the financial wherewithal to answer the big question: should I? Craft is in the distinctive position of having 20-plus years as an owner and renovator since buying her first property – a Gold Coast apartment off the plan – about the age of 22.

“The thing is, there’s always something new to learn even if you’re flipping your fourth house,” Craft says. “One thing I’ve learnt to be suspicious of is the idea of the forever home. My houses have always been my ‘forever for now’ homes. People are always evolving, and families are always evolving so there’s really no point saying to yourself, this is the end point and setting your mindset accordingly.”

For Craft, who has renovated and sold “a fair few houses in my time, across Victoria, NSW and Queensland”, it’s always a good time to buy – as long as you’ve done your homework.

“In Australia, no matter what the broader market is doing … there is always an area where you can find a good buy,” she says.

“When I was a kid, we had family holidays in Noosa and now

There are considerable questions, however, to what extent the big lenders are going to be able to pass on the full interest rate cuts now that we’re below 1 per cent on the cash rate.”

A cut sounds like the harbinger of higher property prices – but the experts aren’t calling a repeat of the last boom.

“I’ve heard a lot of commentary along the lines of now being the time to launch yourself into the property market with your ears pinned back,” Kohler says.

“Recent memory dictates that when property prices rise they’re going at double-digit gains per year but the experts who make the most sense to me say we shouldn’t be expecting a big ‘V-shaped’ recovery, in which it shoots back up in the same amount of time it went down.

“They’re saying it’s going to be flat to positive, so the mass urgency is possibly going to be a little short-lived.”

One of the take-home messages, Kohler says, is that firsthome buyers have reason for real hope for the first time in a number of years. “It was really rough there for a while with double-digit price growth … but there are gaps to be identified in the current market. There’s most certainly hope for people looking to get that first toe-hold.” ●

ANDY HARMER \ YES CHEF

The meatiest question of all …

KRISTOFFER PAULSEN

L Andy Harmer is the executive chef of QT Melbourne hotel ● qthotelsandresorts.com/ melbourne ● Instagram @qtmelbourne

ove a steak? Don’t feel like you always need to go out to enjoy a good one.

Cooking steak is one of those things that really intimidate people, but it shouldn’t. The mastery is simple as long as you follow a few rules. First and foremost, you need to buy a great cut of meat. If cost is an issue, it’s better to have a small piece of excellent steak than a larger cut of mediocre steak.

Look for a well marbled steak, about 2.5 centimetres thick. Scotch fillet, strip loin and rib-eye consistently standout results.

You might be faced with a decision

between grass and grain-fed meat, especially if you’re buying from your local butcher. The low down is this: for a lot of passionate beef eaters, grass-fed gives a more nuanced and complex flavour profile.

Grain-fed meat comes from animals that ate grass for most of their lives, then transition to grainbased diets. The grain helps the body to produce fat, which in turn helps the production of intramuscular fat.

It’s a simple equation: the longer cattle stay on a nutrient-rich diet, the fatter they become and the higher their marbling. This also means a more buttery flavour and brighter meat, along with whiter fat.

Hot tip: avoid fibres. As soon as you can see fibres, it means the cow has worked hard, and it’ll be tough.

My cut of choice? A 250-gram grain-fed scotch fillet, with maximum fat on the inside and minimum fat on the outside.

The first thing I do is let my steak reach room temperature – if it’s

been in the fridge it needs at least an hour. This way the steak will cook through evenly – a cold steak just won’t do it.

I always cook my steak on the barbecue because you want a really

high heat for an optimum steak.

minimum fat on the outside.”

Heat the pan as hot as you can and wait until it’s slightly smoking, add a dab of oil, and then add your meat.

Sear for 90 seconds on each side, then whisk the pan into a 200-degree oven. Leave it in the pan you’ve sealed it on, otherwise, the cooking will be uneven.

Once the three minutes in the oven is done, put it out to rest for about seven minutes.

As you’ve cooked it a lot more aggressively than on the barbecue, it needs to rest for longer.

Then tickle it back in the pan with a knob of butter for five seconds on each side and it’s ready. ●

HIGH STEAKS

I start on the bars as this will give a charred flavour, and sear for no longer than a minute on each side.

Then, I transfer the piece onto the flat top of the barbecue to get that beautiful caramelisation and to make it crusty – a minute for each side.

After that, I’ll whisk the piece onto the resting rack and close the lid for two minutes.

Then, I lift the lid and leave to rest for another five minutes. After that I put the piece back onto the hot plates, add a bit of butter and serve.

If you don’t have the luxury of a barbecue, use a non-stick frying pan and an oven, but the key is heat.

ome dogs, maybe even your own, can understand hundreds of words. They have the capacity to learn at the pace of a toddler and understand us better than we understand ourselves.

The more we learn about canine cognition, the more confused we become on what to teach, how to teach it and why we are teaching it.

So, I have come up with five basic essentials for your dog to learn. These are simple tips but invaluable lessons for a happy and healthy hound.

LEAVE IT \ The “Leave It� command can quite literally save your dog's life. This is initially trained with your dog on lead by throwing a high value item, such as a treat or toy, just out of reach.

Teaching your dog some impulse control can actually help with issues such as separation anxiety.

As your dog attempts to retrieve the forbidden item, tell them to leave it and allow them to eventually look back to you.

At this point your dog must be rewarded with something much more valuable from your hand.

So, if your dog leaves a small treat, they get rewarded with five treats.

Sit command

WAIT/STAY \ Teaching your dog some impulse control can actually help with issues such as separation anxiety.

Teach your dog to go to their mat for increasing periods, followed by releasing them and rewarding them. Creating predictability for your dog considerably helps to alleviate anxiety.

All dogs should learn to sit for something they want.

■

If your dog wants to come on the

couch, they should ask by sitting. If they want a treat, they should sit for it.

■

I like dogs to figure this out for

themselves. Instead of asking your dog to sit, allow them to have a think

COME \ Dogs should never be off lead if they do not return to their owners when called.

To teach your dog to come, use high value treats and invite them to play with you (tug of war and squeaky toys).

Once they do, give them what they were asking for immediately.

■

STATIONED ON THEIR MAT \ Your dog should have a portable safe place. This can be moved around your house, or taken with you to a cafe or vet clinic.

Once this surface becomes familiar, it can be used to help calm your dog in times of uncertainty.

Always ensure your dog is rewarded on it, and that it's never accessible to children. ● Laura V is a pet behaviourist and dog trainer. Her book The Rescue Dog is out September 17 (Penguin).

and do it on their own.

■

Start this training when you are calling your dog to their food bowl, or up on the couch for a cuddle.

Then progress outside. Call them for a reward, give it to them and then immediately release them back to exploring. Do this regularly and make it fun.

Building trust and respect makes for the best of friends.

he key to the perfect blow-dry at home is four simple steps. The first is making sure you wash your hair properly first.

When you go into the hairdresser you’ll spend a while at the basin, and there is a good reason for that. We need to make sure your hair is squeaky clean before we can blow-wave it.

If hair is too oily or has a product residue, it effects the outcome of your blow-wave.

WASH

Make sure you wash twice with a quality shampoo.

The first wash is to get rid of build-up on the hair, and second is the cleanse. Good shampoos do not lather on the first wash unless your hair is really clean because they are not detergent-based, therefore they do not foam straight away.

CONDITION

12

DOM A IN REV IEW

Condition only on the ends of your hair. Roots don’t need conditioner as they receive natural oil.

The exception to this rule are people with curly hair – they need lots of conditioner and they can even

leave it in, depending on how much moisture the follicles need.

PREPARATION

Be careful with how much product you add to the hair. I hate using a lot of product, as I feel it can weigh hair down, making it hard to manage. After towel drying you hair, you need to apply protection and volumising products that are not too sticky.

My favourites for heat protection are Wella SP Luxe Oil, Muk 20-in-1 Miracle Treatment, Oribe Royal Blowout Heat Styling Spray or R&Co Park Ave Blowout Balm. For volume, try Wella SP Volumize Leave In Conditioner, Oribe Volumista Mist and Eleven I Want Body Texture Spray.

Get a hairdryer with some grunt and different heat settings. A professional-style dryer is a wise investment. If it lacks power hair will become frizzy because of the moisture left behind. A blowdryer with a nozzle is helpful because it directs the airflow rather than blasting over the whole head Use on a medium setting to make sure the hair doesn’t dry out, and clear it of dust regularly (unclog

In my makeup bag Mecca Cosmetica nude lip tint the filter at least once a week). Favourite hairdryers are the EVY The Boss Dryer, Parlux Power Light 385 Iconic and Ceramic Hairdryer and the Silver Bullet Black Velvet Dryer 2000W. Dry the hair at least 70 per cent before using a brush. I like medium round brushes for creating volume – unless the hair is short – and cushion brushes to smooth.

My favourite bushes are the GHD round and cushion brushes, and the EVY cushion brush.

Section the hair to get the best results; a little trick is to blow-wave hair forward around a conical brush, pulling towards the front of the head, for control and tension. Do not worry about blowwaving in the direction the hair will sit.

STYLE

After volumising and smoothing, the next step is to wave or curl your hair, unless you desire a straight look. Section hair again and position the curler in the direction that feels comfortable, and do not be too particular about that direction.

After curling, allow to cool and set, then brush out and manipulate the curl to where it sits best. I love big tooth combs for brushing out curls. My favourite is from Kmart – budget-friendly and effective. ●

s someone who has been in the health industry for 20 years, the evolution of the nutrition world has always fascinated me.

Carbs have always had a pretty bad rap when it comes to weight loss but this has become even more prominent through the rise of diets like Atkins in the ’90s and most recently, keto.

The reality is you don’t need to cut carbs out altogether and, in fact, I highly recommend you don’t.

“The reality is you don’t need to cut carbs out altogether and, in fact, I highly recommend you don’t.”

WHAT KIND OF CARBS SHOULD I EAT?

TO CARB OR NOT TO CARB?

The best kind of carbs to eat are complex carbs. Not only do they contain more fibre, they keep you fuller for longer as they are slow at releasing energy, which helps to regulate your blood-sugar levels.

I get my carbs from foods like oats, wholegrains bread, bananas, sweet potato, legumes and quinoa.

It’s all about keeping the carb intake in check and making sure it aligns with both your goals and your activity levels.

A variety of complex carbs (fruit, veg, legumes, wholegrains and so on) should always be complemented by protein and good fats.

ARE CARBS?

DO WE NEED THEM?

NOW THAT WE’VE COVERED CARBS,

Carbohydrates are a macronutrient that provide us with energy. They are our main form of glucose, which is the bodies preferred fuel source.

There are two types of carbs: simple and complex.

Simple carbs are the ones we find in sugary treats and processed foods. Complex, on the other hand, are our wholegrains and low GI carbs in fruit, veg, beans and legumes.

Not only do carbs gives us energy, they are one of our best fibre sources. Fibre is often overlooked but it shouldn’t be, as it is absolutely essential for good gut health and to keep our digestive system operating effectively.

You don’t need a lot of carbs every day but I personally believe that they are an important component of a healthy, balanced diet.

WHAT DOES A PERFECT PLATE LOOK LIKE?

the answer. My 28 program involves moderate to low-carbohydrate meals and therefore isn’t as extreme as many other programs or low-carb diets and is a huge reason why so many people achieve great success.

Who wants to live a life without potatoes?

FIRST THINGS FIRST, WHAT EXACTLY

25 per cent of your plate should be a quality protein source.

■ 50 per cent should be a green salad or vegetables.

■ 10 per cent healthy fats.

rowing up in Bendigo, Adrian Camm thought he would probably use his interests in cryptography and computer science in the army or air force. He did a degree in applied science and computing but when an eye condition prevented him from joining the defence force, Camm discovered a rich and rewarding career in education instead.

“I knew almost straightaway that I’d found what I wanted to do,” says Camm.

“I’d coached basketball and football while I was studying and loved working with children and having a positive influence on the development of their character and their outlook on life.”

Camm began his first teaching job while completing his diploma of education after he was asked to teach physics at Mooroopna Secondary College in rural Victoria.

During three-and-a-half years there he won the prestigious Outstanding Teacher of the Year Award at the Australian Awards for Teaching Excellence.

“That role was a defining moment in my life because I had the guidance of some fantastic mentor teachers,” he says.

Camm partly won the award for setting up a national online virtual learning community connecting VCE physics teachers, students, textbook publishers and industry experts. He started free weekly webinars to help physics students revise and to support teachers.

After this, Camm took on increasingly senior teaching roles and was approached by the Department of Education to encourage innovation in schools.

He was a key figure in developing the Quantum Victoria centre for students.

“The centre is about re-energising interest in mathematics and science through innovative uses of technology,” says Camm.

Prior to joining Mentone Grammar as deputy principal this year, Camm was director of teaching and learning at The Geelong College, as well as the director of the Centre for Learning, Research and Innovation where he led a team focused on policy development and professional learning opportunities across Geelong.

At Mentone Grammar, Camm oversees staffing,

A D R IA N CA M M

timetable development, curriculum and daily organisation of the school. He defines his role as a “balance between operations and setting the strategic vision of the school”.

“The world is changing and we need to evolve to provide the best opportunities for the young people in our care,” he says.

“We’ve consulted with staff, parents, teachers and students to find out what they would like to see.

Overwhelmingly, our community wants students to be happy, healthy and high achieving. We want students to do well, but student and teacher wellbeing is also important to our community.”

Camm says student empowerment and agency is integral to Mentone Grammar’s ethos.

“The fundamental aspect of a modern education is learning how to learn – making sure students are equipped with skills, tools, networks and

dispositions to engage in a life of learning and to deal with any problem put in front of them,” says Camm.

Throughout the day he has plenty of opportunity to talk to students. “I love hearing about their likes and dislikes and the challenges and opportunities they face,” he says.

Away from school, Camm is completing a PhD and relishes family time with his partner and twoyear-old daughter Aria. He also likes to run and cycle to keep fit.

“A good day at work is when I’ve been able to connect with students and staff and helped them to be the best they can be,” says Camm.

“I enjoy working with young people now as much as I did when I started my career, and it will keep me in the profession until the day I retire.” ● SARAH MARINOS

When Malcolm Rankin built this house for his family, he was a rebel with a noble architectural cause.

It was the late 1990s and much of Melbourne was still in a gloomy, recession frame of mind. But Rankin envisaged a jollier future. Well known in Toorak for his residential work, the professional builder snapped up a sunny spot in Gipsy Village (central Sandy’s 1850s name) and put all his exuberance into something his family could love for 20 years.

North-facing, sunbathed and spangled with clerestory windows on all sides, this two-storey house was a masterpiece of forethought that looks even more beautiful today. Palm trees have grown up around the lap pool, shading the South Australian slate paving.

Indoors, spotted gum floorboards bring sturdy elegance to the formal and casual living areas. Solid timber cabinetry – including a study nook – is of a quality that would come at a high price. Rankin also foresaw the 21st century lust for storage, hence the mudroom off the double garage, and the well-endowed laundry.

With big french doors to the terrace and pool from both living areas, this is a family-loving nest of good vibes.

Underpinning the mood is some smart division. Note the two staircases; the first rises directly to the first-floor office, the second to bedrooms.

The slightly more formal living room has a mesh-front open fireplace, a conservatory-style dining area and an understairs cellar.

A massive cavity slider divides this area from the family zone, which includes kitchen and meals, plus the study,

Mason’s work was showcased its own exhibition at the NGV in 2015. The house has since been rendered, but many of its original and widely-acclaimed features remain, such as rear glass panes framing views of the north-west facing pool and courtyard. Included in the U-shaped floor plan is an open-plan formal lounge and dining area, a separate living area, and a renovated kitchen.

All dedicated bedrooms are upstairs including the extensive main with en suite. ● AMELIA BARNES Agent: RT Edgar, James Paynter 0418 390 133 Price: $2.1 million-$2.3 million Auction: 1.30pm, September 14

Dr. Tony Stubbs, Eye Surgeon, says that just about anyone can have their vision restored and be rid of their glasses for most of the time. And this is without the use of laser surgery.

Dr Stubbs formerly at the Royal Victorian Eye Hospital who has worked with the Fred Hollows eye department at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, says he began his career through the inspiration of his father, Dr Maxwell Stubbs.

“My father was a pioneer in cataract implant surgery from 1963! He has now passed away but some of his patients still come in for a check-up. Not only is this inspirational, it also demonstrates that good surgery outlasts the surgeon,” Dr Stubbs says.

A specialist who helps people who have been advised they are unsuitable for laser surgery, Dr Stubbs is also committed to demonstrating that age, corneal distortion or astigmatism are no barriers to eliminating the need for glasses.

One of my best moments was treating a 12-year-old girl who was struggling at school because of poor vision due to congenital cataracts even with the use of thick glasses. Now 10 years later, she still has 20/20 vision without glasses.

That inspires me.

“Seeing my patients’ bright smiles after surgery, as they stop squinting and can read without glasses, is definitely the best part of my job.”

No referral is needed and no out-of-pocket expenses are incurred for an assessment to enable all options available to be considered.
