A few weeks ago our cover story revealed population trends for the Sunshine Coast which stated that the British are among those leading the ‘migration’ pack to our region, and it seems a UK TV show has also recognised this trend. This week I caught up with the production team for UK property show Location, Location, Location who are filming an episode for a spin-off property show here on the Sunshine Coast. The show follows the lives of British migrants who move to Australia to start a new life and buy a property, however, the TV show finds the ideal property for them to buy. One particular Pommie family selected Mooloolaba as their ideal place to live and director/producer Andrew Walmsley was quick to point out that it was My Property Review they had used as a research tool to find potential properties prior to filming the show. As the second part of our cover story points out, our market here is quite bouyant and is therefore attractive to offshore investors as well as local ones. Looks like the secret is out.

cover story

A bouyant market PART 2

by Julie Gatehouse

In part two of this MPR series, four industry analysts explain why Australian real estate is resilient, despite the uncertain global economic conditions. As Julie Gatehouse discovers, the Sunshine Coast market has got what it takes.

T

differences between us and the US is that in Australia we can keep lowering interest rates, which will make variable loans cheaper, regardless of whether you’re buying or renovating. And we absolutely think this will happen in early 2009. The US doesn’t have that capacity because their interest rates are at zero now.”

Economists for the major banks believe the Reserve Bank will slash rates to three per cent in the first quarter of 2009. The cash rate peaked at 7.25 per cent in August 2008.

“

Just because we read about a 25% fall in house prices in the US doesn’t mean we’ll have that in Australia. We’re not as weak

“

he uncertainty of 2008 has left many of us wondering how we should invest our money in 2009. As thousands of people seek personal solutions to the financial turmoil across the globe, it’s not just locals who recognise the buoyancy of Sunshine Coast real estate. Harley Dale, the Canberra-based chief economist for the Housing Industry Association, points to the region’s potential.

“Your population grows at a fast rate,” he says, “It’s an attractive place for people to move and live and build because of the lifestyle. Over the next two to five years you have very strong prospects. While the Australian housing market will be difficult to an extent in 2009, the good underlying factors will still be there when we get over this.”

The HIA’s Economic Group provides statistics and trends for the building and renovation industries, accessing 42,000 members involved in 85 per cent of the nation’s residential activity. Harley says we’re not immune to the economic difficulties experienced in the US, but it’s a matter of degree.

“We won’t slow to nearly the same extent as the US,” he says. “Yes, our economy is slowing and unemployment will rise and house prices may be flat or a bit weaker, but it’s of far less magnitude. We have a stronger banking system and economy. We’ve had extraordinarily fast growth, particularly in Queensland, driven by the resources sector.

“Just because we read about a 25 per cent fall in house prices in the US doesn’t mean we’ll have that on the Sunshine Coast or in Australia. We’re not as weak.”

In fact, Harley believes it’s a good time to consider property as an investment option. “One of the important

Harley adds that Australia’s house prices are holding up a lot better than in the US. “There has been a lot of doom and gloom this year about prices,” he says. “People seem to love reading that they are crashing, but in a median sense we’re looking at it being flat or maybe down two, three or four per cent.”

He compares this to stock market drops in 2008. “When it comes to equity markets, Australia is very much beholden to the rest of the world. If markets fall overseas, our markets fall. Australia’s share market is down 45 to 50 per cent, but our economy isn’t nearly as weak as this suggests.”

Peter McGrath, chairman of the Real Estate Institute of Queensland, acknowledges the global economic climate has unsettled buyers and sellers, “but to put it in perspective, the share market has fallen about 50 per cent in the past few months while Queensland median house prices have softened just a few per cent”.

According to REIQ figures for the September quarter, the median house price on the Sunshine Coast dropped 3.1 per cent to $450,000. Brisbane’s median dipped 4.3 per cent to $473,500.

Peter attributes this, in part, to the increasing number of lower-priced properties sold in that quarter, pointing out a rise in the number of affordable homes sold across the state. About 80 per cent of house sales across the state were for properties under $500,000.

David Oliver, president of the Coast branch of the Urban Development Institute of Australia (Qld), says industry activity varies widely at the moment, but it’s “nothing like the recession of 1991 when the lights turned off overnight”.

“We surveyed nearly 70 per cent of our local membership and each segment is experiencing different things,” he says. “Tradesmen, such as plumbers, are flat out, some design firms have projects on hold, some planners are busy trying to get approvals in place, and real estate agents have a selection of properties to list to create interest.”

David describes it as a semi-healthy development industry, adding that it is “all moving ahead for when the market recovers”.

He says compared with 1991, when interest rates climbed towards 18 per cent, the current low rates are

8 My Property Review | January 16, 2009

insecurity could affect confidence and spending.

Harley credits swift responses to the global crisis by the Australian Government and Reserve Bank, compared with the ineptness of authorities in the US and Europe: “We think that’ll save us.”

Peter McGrath says population growth will continue to boost Queensland’s property market, with supply remaining a big issue. “Unlike countries such as the US, there is not an oversupply of properties in Queensland,” he

“

Too many people subscribe to the notion that whatever happens in the US affects us all [but] when it comes to residential property, Australia and the US are worlds apart

“

a blessing. In addition, individual debt levels seem to be minimal compared with corporate problems.

“When combined with petrol price drops, suddenly everyone’s feeling a lot easier about things,” David says.

“I would say going into next year we will be more robust than people think.”

Issues for the local industry include housing affordability, land constraints imposed by the South East Queensland Regional Plan and infrastructure costs.

A recent HIA survey of builders found that new home sales in Queensland and Victoria increased by more than 20 per cent in October. It was the first rise since June.

Australian Bureau of Statistics data shows the number of home loans for owner-occupiers grew by 1.3 per cent in October to 48,299 – a peak for the year.

Harley expects a gradual and moderate improvement in residential housing market conditions in 2009 and beyond, rather than “a flick of the switch”. This will be boosted by lower interest rates and Federal Government spending on grants, such as the first-home owners scheme, and fast-tracked infrastructure.

House prices could be stable or a little lower across the country. “If we see a five per cent fall,” Harley says, “that’s after house price rises of up to 170 per cent over the past 10 years.” Although the high-end may continue getting knocked around as high-income households feel the impact of losing money on share portfolios.

Two uncertainties for the short-term will be supply and unemployment. Harley says building project approvals have slowed in high-rise units, for example, as it has become more difficult for businesses to get finance. And job

says. “Constrained land supply and approval processes, high development costs and now the global economic crisis have resulted in an undersupply of properties being built to house our growing population.

“While demand has certainty softened from the highs of 2007, Queensland’s residential property market is well-placed to ride out this economic uncertainty.”

Peter expects a subdued residential market in the year ahead because of consumer confidence and concerns about job security. However, low rates, the first-home buyer grant and the tight rental situation

will underpin our market in coming months. He adds, “Property continues to be a sound long-term financial investment as long as people do the necessary research before they buy.”

Brisbane-based industry expert Michael Matusik says residential property outperforms most other assets in the short, medium and long term.

A Matusik Property Insights analysis of asset returns for the year ending in the June quarter 2008 showed Australian houses and units almost the top performers at more than 11 per cent, far above equities, which recorded double-digit losses. Over a decade, residential property was top of the table.

“Too many people subscribe to the notion that whatever happens in the US affects us all [but] when it comes to residential property, Australia and the US are worlds apart,” Michael says.

He adds that the ongoing value in our market is driven by the undersupply of stock, which is highlighted by investment rental vacancy rates. “The rental vacancy rate today is over 10 per cent in the US and about 1.4 per cent across urban Australia.

“Across Australia the new market is undersupplied to the tune of about six months, while in the US there is close to a year’s supply of built owner-occupier homes sitting vacant.”

He expects a modest lift in Australian residential housing activity and price over the next couple of years.

Timing will depend on interest rates, unemployment and buyer confidence. But Michael believes the Sunshine Coast is already well placed, given its strong fundamentals.

Buying off the plan Purchasing a property before it has been built, known as buying off the plan, is becoming an increasingly popular option for established and first-home buyers. So what are the pros and cons of buying this way versus purchasing an existing dwelling?

The pros

The cons

Question time

1. Buying off the plan means you buy at today’s prices but don’t have to make a repayment until the development is completed. In some cases, that could be years away, but you still benefit from any property price increases in that time.

2. Delayed settlement gives you more time to save an even greater deposit. As long as you have the initial 10 per cent required to secure your property, you are able top this up during the settlement period with additional savings.

3. Newer homes generally offer lower maintenance living than pre-existing homes. This will save you on renovating or redecorating that you might have to do if you were to buy an existing building.

4. Buying off the plan can offer even more tax savings.

Speak to your accountant for advice relevant to your financial situation.

5. Depending on the nature of your property, you may be able to have a say on the type of finishes used, the interior design and floor plans.

6. If you haven’t yet sold your current home, buying off the plan will provide you with more time to sell, ensuring you get the right price.

7. Off-the-plan developments can be much more affordable than existing homes, which is great if you’re on a budget.

There is also the opportunity to make a profit by selling once the dwelling is completed.

1. First and foremost, you are buying your property sight unseen and this is always risky. Make sure you adequately research your developer and their previous projects to make sure their style matches your taste.

2. Remember that you are still vulnerable to market fluctuations, oversupply and interest rate rises.

3. Delays in construction can cause delays in settlement, which can cause inconvenience and add to the expenses.

As much as they try to give you a solid completion date, no developer can accurately predict this date, due to unforeseen circumstances such as bad weather or pending council approvals. Be aware that contracts rarely include penalties for late completion.

4. If you’re buying an apartment off the plan, you will have little control over the final quality and look of the complex as a whole. So while you may be able to choose your own furnishings and finishings, you can’t control the overall design of the building.

5. Be aware that you probably may not be able to inspect construction work as the development nears completion (this is particularly relevant for apartments, rather than freestanding homes).

Most developers require a 10 per cent deposit on signing the contract. Stamp duty must generally be paid within three months and final payment is due on completion of the apartment complex or home. Before you sign away, be sure to ask the right questions of the right people: 1. What are the legal ramifications of buying this sort of property? Get a lawyer to check your contract and help guide you through the process.

2. Should I build in a sunset clause? Sunset clauses allow both the purchaser and builder/developer to terminate the contract if certain conditions have not been met within an agreed time frame and are often found in off-the-plan contracts.

3. If you’re buying an apartment or townhouse, make sure you’re aware of the other features and services in the complex and of the strata, body corporate and maintenance fees associated with your purchase.

4. Research the developer – look at their financial situation and previous projects and completion dates.

5. Who will hold your deposit? Make sure you understand where your deposit will be held until settlement. Ideally, it should be held in a trust account and not with the builder.

6. Consult an independent, licensed valuer to value your property before signing any contracts.

Eyes on the prize

by Alli Grant

A pervading presence on the Coast, architect Ken Down has a huge portfolio of work, but he’s not thinking about resting on his legacy just yet – there’s still too much to do.

F

small in size is important to the local community. “We even designed that block of public toilets there,” he adds, pointing to a small building in the park across the street.

Ken and Rachel make the most of the life at Bondoola. “I love to sit out here and have a read of the papers before I go to work,” Ken says. “There’s so much activity and I can see my mooring at the wharf. I love to keep an eye on the boats.”

His mooring is vacant and it’s likely to stay that way for a while as the passionate sailor has more pressing work commitments to tend to. But anyone who has visited Ken’s office, housed in the Archipelago building (a structure his

“

The great thing about working in education is that we are creating facilities for future generations. It’s really rewarding work

“

rom the balcony of his waterfront apartment in Mooloolaba, architect Ken Down can sit back and look out over some of his greatest works. Although clearly proud of these projects, Ken is modest when asked about being responsible for many iconic Coast landmarks, many of which are within metres of his home.

“I am proud, but thinking about them all just makes me realise how old I am,” Ken says with a smile.

After 30 years designing residential and commercial buildings on the Sunshine Coast and beyond, it’s no wonder Ken is a little overwhelmed when asked to reflect on these projects – it’s a long and impressive inventory that includes his apartment at Bondoola in Mooloolaba, a home he shares with his wife, Rachel. Bondoola is a residential block Ken designed and developed some five years ago. It boasts an impressive vista of the surrounding area. To the left you can see up River Esplanade to the entrance to the Mooloolaba Surf Club, a building Ken worked on for years, completing three stages of renovations along the way.

“I still remember sitting in the old club looking out at a brick wall and suggesting that we add a deck so to enjoy the views,” Ken reflects.

Directly opposite is Minyama Island, with five houses Ken designed in direct sight, including Grant Kenny and Lisa Curry-Kenny’s home. Opposite is the lifesavers headquarters – another Ken Down design. Ken has also completed a number of renovations on the Mooloolaba Yacht Club where he is commodore, just down the street.

To the right is the unmistakable dark green facade of Kirribilli apartments and directly next to Bondoola is St Malo – all three apartment blocks are feathers in Ken’s Down’s design cap.

Then there’s Parkyn Parade. Design work there includes the Beach House, Little Hill, Fish on Parkyn, and earlier renovations on 84 The Spit, to name just a few.

Ken is quick to point out one last little detail that while

company designed) would know Ken is a mad sailor. His walls are adorned with images of the many impressive vessels he has designed, built, raced and sold over the years.

While Ken has designed many high-profile buildings in Mooloolaba, these achievements are merely the icing on the cake for him and his team. He is most proud of his design of the Corbould Park race track in Caloundra.

“This was a big deal as we were able to show people we could do more than just houses and units. It was our first really big profiling project.”

Also worthy of mention is Ken’s contract with the late Steve Irwin, working with Steve on the design of Australia Zoo’s impressive entrance building, the Crocoseum and the food court, shopping and entertainment areas. “Working with Steve was an incredible experience,” Ken says. “When

Ken has a long list of projects to the iconic Moo loolaba Surf Cl his name, including ub

he explained his vision to me I was thinking ‘Wow, that’s amazing, but will it ever happen?’ It’s so great to see that it did happen and is still happening. My wife and I are big supporters of Australia Zoo.” Also close to Ken’s heart is education, and he has worked with Sunshine Coast Grammar School, Immanuel Lutheran College and the University of the Sunshine Coast for many years. Highlights include the design of the sports and science building and sports stadium at the university, the master plan for the grammar school and Immanuel’s worship centre. “The great thing about working in education is that we are creating facilities for future generations,” Ken says. “It’s really rewarding work.”

Ken’s reach extends well beyond the Coast. He has completed numerous projects in the Whitsundays, in Brisbane, on Stradbroke Island and even spent years designing for Raptis on the Gold Coast. His company, Core Architecture, was founded two years ago through a merger with firm Briggs, Patterson and Muir. Core has worked in Townsville, Bundaberg, Hervey Bay, Childers and Woodgate. Ken was responsible for the design of the Childers Backpackers memorial following the tragic fire in 2000 that killed 15 people. “It’s certainly a building that is very close to my heart,” he says.

He adds, “Ultimately, participating in the local community and making a contribution is the most rewarding part of my job. When people enjoy what you do it’s pretty satisfying. To make a tangible difference is what it’s all about.”

Beachy keen

by Dorothy Drane

Some things change, while others stay the same, muses Dorothy Drane. And this holiday season, the MPR columnist and beachside local is taking it all in her stride.

cooling summer breeze blows across the sand as the sun makes its daily journey down towards the western horizon. It’s late afternoon, but the beach is packed with walkers, joggers, swimmers and happy groups playing ball games.

Surfers flip in the waves using boards or bodies for the freedom of the ride.

It’s an idyllic scene and one that is played out every fine day of every summer school holidays on every beach, just as it has done for years.

Lots of things have changed on the Sunshine Coast, but its natural attributes are not among them. The beaches are still clean, white sand; the ocean still rolls in; the weather is still very close to perfect; and the range and hinterland still provide a spectacular green backdrop.

Pincushion Island continues to shuttle between north and south shores and the nearby caravan park has waxed and waned

A

with the same shifting sands that have also regularly revealed and concealed coffee rock on beaches between the Maroochy and Mooloolah River mouths.

Summer ’08-’09 could be any one of the holiday seasons of recent decades.

Mother Nature is still wearing the same dress, with only the odd adjustment bringing it back into fashion each season.

It has been a good year. The sun has shone on tourism operators as well as all the happy campers and unit dwellers who have arrived to eat, drink and make merry.

But there is some evidence of change.

Numbers for a start. Even during past peaks, it would be hard to imagine that the beaches could be so busy, not uncomfortably so, but busy all the same.

But it’s all relative. Anyone who has had the courage to muscle their way on to a French or Spanish beach in mid-summer, when beach umbrellas form a low, fake

ceiling, would laugh at the suggestion that our beaches are jam-packed. Yes, despite a burgeoning population we still have plenty of room to accommodate our regular fans.

Each year, there’s another high-rise joining the line-up along the foreshore.

Fortunately, there are no shadows across the sand of an afternoon and our esplanades bear little resemblance to the concentration of towers that is Surfers Paradise. The staggered arrangement of our high-rise even makes the buildings a handy reference point for beach exits.

There are also plenty of coffee shops and restaurants to add a little extra to the holiday. It is no longer limited to a burger and chips wrapped in newsprint.

There are other little changes. The windsurfing craze that took over in the early 1980s is now passé. Its replacement, kite surfing, is now almost complete, as colourful kites jostle for space in the sky.

And for some reason these days, ball players choose not to put their pitch parallel with the ocean, but at right angles to it, so that anyone following the shoreline is pulled up by a flying object whizzing towards the ocean or worse, finds themselves the target.

So, despite all the promises to myself that there would be no Christmas holiday at home because, being a grumpy old woman, I just wasn’t prepared to put up with my local population trebling overnight, it has actually been uneventful and even pleasant. Visitors bring with them a holiday vibe, so that even on a working day, the beach centres have a feeling of fun about them.

And all this means that I choose to ignore the gripes of others about traffic and people and parking and noise.

Never mind, only a couple of weeks and it’s back to school!

The rules of rental relationships January is the busiest time of year for rentals. Whether you’re renting with good friends or entering into a share-house arrangement with a stranger, follow our 10 tips for a safe and happy rental relationship and keep harmony in the home.

one

three

What’s in a name?

Show me the money

The price of paperwork

Even the tightest of friendships can be tested when living together, so no matter how close you are to your new housemate make sure you’re all noted on the rental application, the approved rental agreement and bond lodgement form. This should avoid any nasty problems down the track. If you’re boarding or sharing with the home’s owner, have a contract drafted to ensure you’re covered in the event of any disagreements.

Once your rental application is approved, you may be asked to pay two weeks’ rent to secure the property. You will also be required to pay bond, which is usually the equivalent of four weeks’ rent. This bond will be lodged with the Rental Tenancy Authority (RTA) by your agent.

It’s important that you pay an equal share of this money and that this is noted in the paperwork. If you move before the end of the lease, you may be able to have your share of the bond refunded.

Keep track of all rental payments. If you or your housemate is paying the landlord in one lump sum each payment cycle, keep a track of your payments yourself in a diary. This ledger will come in handy if there are any disputes about who has paid what. Record all payments and make sure you have copies of all formal and informal documents, bill payments, contracts and bank statements.

Report ready

five

When you move into your new home you’ll have to fill out an entry report. This report will protect you and your housemates in the event that the landlord or owner of the property accuses you of damage that was pre-existing. Make sure all your housemates conduct the entry inspection together so to avoid a nasty blame game at the end of the lease. Don’t be afraid to note every scratch, chip and crack to the report.

two

House rules

Here kitty, kitty…

Let there be light

To avoid fights over whose turn it is to empty the dishwasher, try drafting a few house rules and stick them on the fridge.

Now is the time to discuss how and when you will pay the bills, who will park where, rules for overnight guests, a housework roster, the grocery situation and general day-to-day rules.

If you decide to share the costs of groceries, consider implementing a kitty for the house for incidentals such as bread and milk. This way, the money in the kitty can be used for the little extras, so no one is ever out of pocket, avoiding unnecessary confrontation.

Someone has to take responsibility for getting utilities connected and this person will then legally be responsible for paying the bills in the future. Sit down and discuss who will pay what and when for gas, phone, internet and electricity.

seven six four nine ten eight eig Always think ahead

Dob on damage

Shhh, quiet please!

A stipulation of your lease will be to always pay your rent in advance. Most landlords or lessors will require you to be at least two weeks ahead. Make sure you and your housemates don’t get behind, as this can lead to confusion and arguments. Make a pact to always think ahead and pay the rent in advance.

It’s important your agent is notified about any damage to the property immediately, no matter who is responsible.

Imagine if your housemate broke the door and then six months down the track they moved out, without fixing the door or paying for the repairs. As the remaining housemate, you will be responsible for the damage.

While you are drafting up your house rules, one of the biggest considerations will be parties and guests, as these can not only impact on your housemates but on your neighbours and may lead to bigger problems if a neighbour complains. Play it safe and keep it quiet. If you plan to have a party, be considerate and notify your neighbours.

suburb

Currimundi

L

Currimundi, a beachside suburb of Caloundra, is approximately four square kilometres in size, with four parks covering nearly four per cent of the total area.

hat’s in a name: Sir Leslie Wilson, who built a holiday home called ‘Currimundi House’ in the area, named the suburb. He adopted this Aboriginal name Garamandah or Girramundi, for the suburb, which early local settlers used. It means ‘place of flying foxes’.

T B

he old and the new: Once a sleepy beachside suburb, Curriumundi has become popular with property enthusiasts, eager to enjoy life beachside or creekside, with two distinctly different lifestyles on offer.

eachside:

C T

Currimundi is a beachside suburb, known for its pristine sands and quality surfing swells. While it was once famous for its unassuming, low-key fibro beach shacks, it now boasts some impressive

homes, with multimillion-dollar oceanfront sales not uncommon.

reekside: West of the Nicklin Way is the ‘new’ Currimunidi, an area made up of quality subdivisions and estates, a more affordable option for young families and new-home buyers.

T

he great outdoors: The Currimundi Outdoor Recreation Centre, a feature of the suburb, is located on 22 hectares of foreshore land north of Caloundra and will never be developed,

a big positive for the beachside community.

he lake: The patrolled Currimundi Lake is the perfect spot to take the kids for a swim as the lake’s large expanse of water is well protected. The lake meets the surf with a running stream, not to be entered on a strong tide or during heavy rain.

There is a large stretch of sand, which in most parts is firm, for investigating during low tide.

The area is renowned for its

fishing as it offers up both river and ocean species.

opulation: The population of Currimundi in 2001 was 5260 people. By 2006 the population was 6659 showing a population growth of 27 per cent in the area during this time.

property reviews Minyama waterfront stunner A grand home, on a prime waterfront position and with a luxury boat moored at the back door â&#x20AC;&#x201C; what more could you want? This quality home is situated right on the water and offers the ideal Coast lifestyle. Spacious open-plan living areas sprawl across the large four-bedroom dwelling and offer fabulous views out to the over-water timber deck, pontoon and waterway.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hot in the hills

by Dorothy Drane

Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official, with RP Data market analysts naming Nambour as the Sunshine Coastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only hotspot in their yearly list.

But for local agents and property experts, the rest of the country is just catching on to what they have known all along. ews that Nambour has been named a 2009 property hotspot in a national listing comes as no surprise to those in the local real estate industry.

Former Nambour Chamber of Commerce president Les Hadlow of Woombye Realty says it was inevitable that Nambour would reveal itself as a sleeping giant, while Craig Heppell of Victor Realty says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surprised that it has only just turned up as a hotspot this year. Ian Black, principal of Day and Grimes Real Estate, says he already made the prediction that Nambour was a hotspot a month before the latest report was released.

Nambour was the only town in the Sunshine Coast Regional Council area to make the list of 55 towns and cities around the country, compiled by RP Data property analysts Tim Lawless and Cameron Kusher.

Their selections focus on houses and units

and are based on strategic affordability, identifying suburbs that represent good value for money based largely on location, necessities and social options. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I predicted there would be plenty of activity in Nambour in 2009,â&#x20AC;? Ian says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will be brought on by the increased first-home owner grant, loan specials, and land in good supply in a range of suburban areas in and around Nambour.â&#x20AC;?

Les points to the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infrastructure and services as keys to its future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has much to offer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such as schools, hospitals and banks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that it was obvious that it was waiting to be discovered.â&#x20AC;?

He says new houses are going up as fast as the land can be produced.

In the RP Data report, Nambourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s listing was based on 179 sales with a median price of $359,000 and a median weekly rent of $330 with an average gross rental yield of 4.78 per cent. The average number of days for a property to be on the market in the hinterland town is 56.

Nambour is one of six regional hotspots in Queensland, which also has 10 city house and 10 unit hotspots in the 2009 Property Hotspots Report predictions.

Queensland is clearly the place to be, with 26 places on the list, compared with 13 in NSW, 12 in Victoria, two in South Australia and one each in Western Australia and Tasmania.

Based on the RP Data Hotspots Report for 2009, the markets that are most likely to record good capital growth over the next 12 months are those that hold that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; appeal. Tim Lawless believes first-home buyers and investors will be the first to jump into these suburbs.

He says that while world economies have slumped in 2008, the Australian property market proved its resilience by showing only modest value falls in most capital cities. Across the nation, median dwelling values declined by just 1.24 per cent during 2008 to October.

Perfect in Palmwoods This two-year-old home, set on an 1148-square metre block, is nestled close to the heart of Palmwoods. This home features four large bedrooms, three with built-ins.

The main bedroom boasts an ensuite, walk-in robe and private deck. The yard is big enough for a pool and for the kids to kick the ball around with council-approved plans to build a shed. The front deck extends the full front of the house, while downstairs is an oversized double garage with an enclosed multi-purpose room.

Burnside home full of potential This Burnside home redefines the phrase â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;plenty of potentialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. This generous family home has three bedrooms, all with built-in robes, plus a study upstairs and two bedrooms with separate living downstairs, including a kitchen and bathroom. There is garaging for five cars â&#x20AC;&#x201C; perfect for the car enthusiast or for hobbies or storage. The rear deck is a great spot to relax and watch the kids expend some energy in the big backyard.
