A COMMUNITY UPDATE BY RAY WHITE KAWANA
WELCOME
TO OUR LATEST COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER, WE HOPE YOU ENJOY IT. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT WE ARE ALREADY WELL INTO THE SECOND QUARTER OF THE YEAR. ONE THING WE DO KNOW IS THAT SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED AND SO MUCH MORE WILL CONTINUE TO EMERGE WITH THE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF INVESTMENT TAKING PLACE IN AND AROUND KAWANA.
The Sunshine Coast University hospital has been a hive of activity over the past few years and has gone to a whole new level with the first patients being admitted with the opening of the Emergency department, operating theatres and maternity services. It’s an exciting time for our region and the influx of skilled workers and the multiplier effect of increased employment opportunities has created a real boost to the Sunshine Coast.
award. After an impressive season last year, the team has introduced a number of exciting new recruits which has seen the Falcons make a great start to the season.
We’ve seen plenty of people take advantage of this opportunity to buy a home or an apartment to live closer to this multi-billion dollar precinct as well as investors looking for solid returns on their purchase. With further investment and civil work commencing at the long awaited Bokarina Beach site, we expect the strong market conditions to continue.
Finally, you may have seen the Ray White Kawana bus cruising through the streets of the Sunshine Coast. We are thrilled to run this campaign via the local bus network and it’s been great to work with the team at Maroochydore’s Go Transit Media Group who have done such an outstanding job on the bus creative.
We are also excited to announce that our sponsorship of the Sunshine Coast Falcons has continued again with the best player at away games presented with the Ray White Kawana

IF THE RESULTS FROM THE RECENT RAY WHITE KAWANA IN-ROOM AUCTION AND ON SITE AUCTIONS ARE ANY INDICATION, THERE IS NO BETTER TIME TO LIST YOUR PROPERTY FOR SALE. Ben Wilson said over 100 people attended the in room auctions with 20 registered bidders keen to secure one of the five properties on sale. “All four properties sold on the day which is a wonderful result considering the diverse range of stock we had for sale. This shows a real confidence in the market and I’d strongly encourage those wanting to sell their home to act quickly to take advantage of the strong market sentiment. “There’s no doubt that the competition amongst buyers which can be generated from the auctions leads to higher prices for sellers. When there is confidence in the market and with cash buyers ready to act, it’s hard to put a cap on what price can be achieved,” Ben said. Recent on-site auction crowds and the number of registered bidders indicates that the market is still strong and buyers are prepared to fight for the right property.
