he Gold Coast has long been a multi-millionaires’ playground and for good reason.

The climate is one of the best in Australia, the population is manageable, the real estate represents value for money compared to most capital cities and the lifestyle is second to none.

And with the ever present threat of COVID and the rise of working from home, many more high-net-worth individuals want to feel the sand between their toes here.

People who would normally have gone overseas are faced with the prospect of not being able to travel internationally for some time and are preferring to buy on

Add to that the pent-up demand from more than 400,000 expats who are flushed with capital and it’s hard to see an end in sight for growth in our local markets.

The appetite at the top end of town has notably ramped up over the past year and the sense on the ground is that big buyers are only just getting warmed up.

Prepare to

PROFIT For those looking to list their property in spring, a little pre-sale prep during the winter months can go a long way towards achieving the best possible price for your property.

By Janelle Estreich

W

hen your house has been home for more than a decade (or maybe even four), it’s natural to have accumulated a lifetime of treasured possessions.

Family photographs, furniture passed down through generations and trinkets collected over the years cover the walls, fill the cupboards and line the tables. And then there are those children who like to use the family home as their personal storage facility.

So when it comes time to downsize or move on, there’s a lot that can be done to make a memorable first impression on prospective buyers - and achieve the best possible sale price for your most valuable asset.

And for those considering listing in the peak spring selling season, now is the time to start preparing your property according to the team at Kollosche.

22

“Use the winter months to undertake any necessary maintenance, declutter your home and tidy up, both inside and out,” says Kollosche’s Jay Helprin, who works closely with clients in Paradise Waters who are preparing to move on from a long-term family home.

“By starting now, you will be in a position to hit the market first in spring which means you’ll have a better chance of selling in isolation rather than in competition.”

LESS REALLY IS MORE Prepping your home for sale need not be an onerous or costly process, according to the team who are able to suggest improvements and arrange any tradespeople that may be needed to help during the pre-listing phase.

Jobs like replacing light bulbs, patching and painting walls and mulching garden

beds can go a long way to improving the overall presentation of your property in the eyes of a buyer.

“Homeowners are understandably so emotionally invested in their own home that they can’t always see things through the eyes of someone walking in for the first time,” says Kollosche Client Services Manager Jen McLean, who assists many homeowners make the transition to apartment living.

“Our main advice is to remove some of the more personal, sentimental items from display so that a buyer can walk in and imagine themselves living in that space.”

Jen suggests choosing one room or storage area where you can stow items that you don’t want to be on display during the sales campaign, selling items on Facebook Marketplace or donating them to charity.

FLYING OFF THE PLAN

The Gold Coast new apartment market is pushed to keep up with the demand for luxury lifestyle residences with a side of sun, surf and shopping on the doorstep.

A

cursory glance across the cranes and new towers rising around the Gold Coast could create the impression that the market is flushed with new apartment stock.

States are also looking to luxury lifestyle real estate to fill that void.”

Kollosche New Projects Specialist Odette Humphreys says the needs and tastes of

But those in the game of selling the city’s most exciting new developments know better.

“It would appear there’s plenty of stock on the way, but what you see being built right now has mostly been sold,” says Kollosche New Projects specialist Andrew Ramsey.

“We’re being flooded with enquiry, but there simply isn’t enough stock to meet the demand.”

Infinity Broadbeach is a case in point with 80 percent of apartments already sold off the plan by the time a crane arrived on site last month.

Kollosche has signed more than $25,000,000 on the luxury beachside tower with only six half floor apartments and six full floors remaining well ahead of the estimated December 2022 completion.

Migration is a major factor driving that demand, according to Kollosche New Projects Specialist Simon Worthington, along with the large pool of high net worth individuals confined to Australian soil.
