cover story

The RBA decided not to cut interest rates on Tuesday, which came as a bit of a shock to most, including us here in the MPR office. Experts were predicting a drop of around 50 basis points to take the cash rate to a historical 45-year low of 2.75 per cent, which would have been great news for those with home loans.

I guess this can be seen as good news and bad news. A good sign, perhaps, for the economy and for consumer confidence, and not so good for those with mortgages who were rubbing their hands together at the thought of another rate cut. However, local agents have noticed that things are really picking up, in fact RE/Max has just had a record month in sales for both December and January. Inquiry rates have increased along with sales and activity over the past month or so, and now the agents are finding there’s actually a bit of a stock shortage – especially in property priced below $500,000. I wonder how long it will take for the supply-demand concept to really take effect?

The simple life

by Dorothy Drane

Forget the five-bedroom suburban abode with a big backyard and white picket fence. The dream has changed, and it’s being led by – who else? – the baby boomer generation. It’s Sunshine Coast apartments they want, in all shapes, sizes and prices.

T

semi-retirees with an empty house, who like travelling.”

And even if the nest is not empty, the baby boomers are still making the move. Many units are so big that there is a separate living space for either adult children or elderly parents. Maroochydore First National’s Shane

“

They move out of full-time employment, their parents die, their kids leave home, they have a health scare – these are trigger events. They then reassess their life priorities

“

he great Australian dream of home ownership has moved out of the suburbs and into the apartment blocks, all in the name of lifestyle. And the trend for apartment living has been led by the baby boomers, a group who has been telling the world what they want, and getting it, since World War II. “There is a clearly defined trend among those aged 47 to 61 years to streamline their lives, and a downsize from the family home to an apartment is part of that,” says demographer Bernard Salt. “They yearn for a streamlined life. They have acquired a lot of stuff after 30 years in suburbia raising a family and now they are reassessing their life priorities.”

Jodie McDonell of Ken Guy Maroochydore, herself a baby boomer, has been specialising in downsizing for two years. She was working in apartment sales when she realised that many people looking for an apartment were replacing the large family home.

“I began to see a pattern when I was doing open homes,” Jodie says. “A lot of the people were young

Purssell, who also sells to baby boomers, says, “They usually buy a three-bedroom place so kids and grandkids can come and stay with them.”

The move to unit living, therefore, isn’t always about downsizing – some apartments are as big as, if not bigger

than, the family home that’s being vacated – but it is always about lifestyle.

Yvonne Adams from Henzells in Caloundra says, “I deal with baby boomers every day,” because she says, “I am not just selling beautiful units, but lifestyles.”

Downsizing baby boomers, she adds, “want to change their focus on quality of life. They want their free time to become their fun time.”

This, according to Bernard Salt, is because baby boomers are “hitting the tripwire”. “They are moving out of full-time employment, their parents may die and they will inherit, their kids are leaving home, they have a health scare – these are all trigger events,” he says.

“They then reassess their life priorities.”

Some apartment buyers will be scaling up, others might be releasing equity in their homes, some will make almost a direct swap and yet others are happy to move from big house to apartment just for the ease of having something smaller.

The motivation is clear. Money is not the issue here,

It’s for this reason that the lock-up and leave option a joke, as such midlife decisions often do, but the couple is an attractive one. is pleased with the decision.

Shane adds, “They want a base because they are “Our two sons were living overseas and we were moving and travelling a lot. They might go off travelling basically their storage shed,” Pam says. “We had friends for a month, so they don’t want to have to worry about living up here and would often come up and visit them. a garden.”

She says, “Many people come up on “In the end I bought exactly the opposite of what holidays and then think, ‘Gosh, why not spend the rest I was looking for,” she says. of our lives enjoying this simple lifestyle’.”

“

“

it is always lifestyle. “The move to an apartment is much more about lifestyle than anything else,” Bernard says. “It aligns with aspirations and how they want to spend the next 25 years of their life. They will buy the unit and sell the house, even if they pay $600,000 for the unit and only get $500,000 for the house.”

“This really isn’t about money,” Jodie says. “They let the big rambling homes go and then they can lock the door and head off to golf or to travel or to whatever else they want to do and let the body corporate look after it.

“These are people who want free time, who want to be able to walk to the cafes, cinemas and shops and preferably with a water view,” she says.

Shane agrees. What they want, he says, are views, and position, “they want to be within walking distance of everything” and low body corporate interference. For this reason, says Shane, they are attracted to blocks that are purely permanent or have very little holiday letting.

And though the current economic climate has many potential buyers sitting on their hands, this trend towards apartment living is continuing. Baby boomers who are downsizing have always been attracted to the Coast, says Yvonne. “Especially lately, were they can downsize and have a few extra dollars in their pocket so they can then enjoy life and go on holidays.”

MODERN FAMILY RESIDENCE + DETACHED GUEST HOUSE 22 Lee Street, Mountain Creek

This two-year-old home magically combines spacious family living with high quality and impeccable attention to detail – plus a detached guest house! In fact you’d be hardpressed to fault this large family home, which is privately positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac, close to every convenience you’d ever need.

Back to nature

by Alli Grant

Another Sunshine Coast sea-change success story, Peter and Michele Graham swapped their sprawling Brisbane house for a home by Mudjimba Beach. But it’s the couple’s seaside garden that is a triumph of low-maintenance living.

P

gardeners. “We worry about the effect the salt air has on our homes and our cars as we know it’s hard on them, but we tend to forget about our gardens. The salt air is really hard on plants too.”

He adds, “If you live on the Sunshine Coast and near the beach you should plant a garden that requires little water and can handle the salt air. Ornamental plants like roses just won’t grow. Coastal species are incredibly low maintenance but can still be spectacular.

“We’re lucky. We have an irrigation system in place but I haven’t needed it. We don’t even use the sprinkler.

“

We worry about the effect the salt air has on our homes and cars, but we tend to forget about our gardens.

The salt air is hard on plants too

“

eter and Michele Graham are typical Sunshine Coast sea changers. After moving up from Brisbane 14 months ago, the couple now live in a Mudjimba beachside community, in what they describe as their “quintessential beach house”. A change from the sprawling Queenslander they called home in Brisbane.

While the couple’s beach house is impressive, with its stark white finishes contrasted by rich, dark timber touches, it’s the garden that MPR is interested in talking about. We want to know how to plant the perfect coastal garden and Peter is just the man to tell us.

As managing director of landscape contractors Naturform on the Sunshine Coast, Peter provides a range of “urban infrastructure” services to his clients.

These include car parks, retaining walls, sporting ovals, complex water features, pools and golf courses. But Peter is a landscaper at heart. After 25 years with the company, he knows plants and there’s a fair bit of pressure on him to have the perfect garden, something he says is easy to achieve in a coastal community.

Of his old house in Ashgrove, Peter says, “It had a formal yard – lots of azaleas, agapanthus and roses. It was big and required a lot of maintenance. Our old garden was full of plants you just couldn’t use here because of the salty air, but it looked great and suited our house.”

So was the attraction of a low-maintenance garden part of the appeal of moving to a coastal community?

“Our new garden is much lower maintenance, as a coastal garden is all about sustainability,” Peter says. But he adds that the salt air is the major challenge for coastal

We really just mow the lawn and fertilise the plants coming into summer. I don’t think people realise how low maintenance a coastal garden can be if they get the species right.” Peter points out two massive pandanus trees that stand guard in the front yard.

But aren’t larger plants like pandanus expensive to buy? “Matured plants can be costly so my advice is to invest in half a dozen large or matured plants as a feature and then support them with smaller plants,” Peter says.

“Advanced stock is really the way to go if you have the money though.”

The species best suited to a coastal yard, says Peter, are “native plants which are naturally good screening plants. Lilly pillies, callistemon or mock orange work well, as do native grasses. Any native plants will attract wildlife too, which is a plus.”

While working on several major projects on the Sunshine Coast, such as the Mooloolaba foreshore and esplanade, and the development of Stockland’s Boardwalk at Mount Coolum, Peter used a similar approach to the landscaping for these commercial precincts. “We use similar plant species,” he says, “just more varieties and definitely more native grasses, Grevillea and callistemon.

We generally also use large native trees, like the pandanus, as a feature in our designs.”

When not working, Peter is focused on enjoying life by the beach. So too does Michele, a homeopath, who shares this love of nature with her husband.

“I try to have a surf most days,” Peter says. “I now have more time to do what I want to do as I don’t have to spend as much time in the yard.”

What he wants to do includes spending time relaxing in his Mudjimba beach house. The home features three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a media room, study and expansive, open-plan living area that merges effortlessly with the outdoor deck. It’s a stunning outdoor area, so it’s no surprise the Grahams do a fair bit of entertaining.

But they have swapped the formal dinner parties of Brisbane for more casual barbecues.

“Mudjimba is such a hidden jewel,” says Michele.

“It’s a well-kept secret and a lovely little community.

Coastal gardening for dummies

Growing a thriving garden in a coastal region can be a challenge. The trick, says landscaper Peter Graham, is in the plant selection â&#x20AC;&#x201C; knowing what will and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t grow is half the battle. He shares his tips for planting the perfect Coast garden.

1 Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy being green in this

Know your natives There are many reasons to consider planting natives in any garden â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they are hardy plants and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require much water â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but particularly so in coastal areas.

A sustainable option, natives also require very little maintenance.

Most importantly, they are fairly resilient to the salty air, which is the biggest challenge when planting a coastal garden. Natives are also fairly disease tolerant and attract wildlife.

Peter recommends home owners pay a visit to the local nursery that specialises in native plants before getting stuck into the garden. The nursery staff will be able to tell you exactly what will and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t grow in your suburb.

have made the change to

Research the beach As a rule of thumb, if you have seen it growing on a sand dune by the beach, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely it will grow in your garden. You know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resilient and is a friend of the salt and the wind. However, if you live in Nambour or beyond, you can consider other, less resilient plants, as your garden wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be affected by the harsh, salty air.

Keep it simple Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to stick to a simple theme. Use subtle variations of the same varieties, as they will grow well and be aesthetically pleasing. Ask the staff at your local nursery for advice.

The home is kept cool thanks to the constant flow of sea breeze â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one big advantage of living near the beach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That breeze is everywhere,â&#x20AC;? says Michele. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can always find a cool spot in this house, especially on the upstairs deck.â&#x20AC;?

And if you are feeling overheated, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always the pool, perfectly positioned next to not one but two outdoor showers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for the beach and oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for the pool,â&#x20AC;? Michele explains.

The couple wanted a simple beach house that was easy to live in and they have found it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want anything over the top or too overly designed,â&#x20AC;? says Peter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same theory inside and outside of the house â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the two areas should complement each other.â&#x20AC;?

The house has been decorated in soft, neutral tones with light timbers, oversized beige couches, beachinspired artwork and strategically placed splashes of colour, courtesy of throw cushions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As I said, inside should be a reflection of outside and this should extend to the use of colour,â&#x20AC;? Peter says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our yard features splashes of colour â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the red of the callistemon, the white flowers of the mock orange around the pool. Our home reflects and complements the colours found in the native plants.â&#x20AC;?

Avoid the pretty ďŹ&#x201A;owers If you live by the beach, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to give up the dream of rose bushes blossoming in your front yard. Most traditional, ornamental plants simply donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deal well with the salty air.

Natives, such as Grevillea and bottle brush, still flower and they also draw the birds.

Unfortunately, herbs donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tend to do too well in coastal communities either.

Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planting picks

Feed and water them Although most native plants are hardy and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require much water, they will need lots of love and support in the beginning while they find their roots. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid to keep them moist for the first month or so. Peter says most natives take a while to die and will show signs of thirst early on. Fertilise your garden in the lead-up and if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re planting a new garden, Peter recommends investing in quality soil.

Push it good

by Dorothy Drane

With an increase in local cycle paths and a trend towards keeping fit while saving the planet, plenty of Sunshine Coasters are joining the lycra set and jumping on their bikes. ike sales are soaring and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no wonder. The humble pushy solves some of the biggest social problems of our time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is environmentally friendly, fuel efficient, and a healthy activity that families can do together.

It sounds too good too be true and surely, you say, something so good for you couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t possibly be a pleasant pill to take, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fun way to get to know the Coast better. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting better all the time. Thanks to requirements for recreation to be incorporated in development master plans and the fact so much development happens around here, bike paths are a new discovery trail.

Every new estate in recent years has included a cycle network and local government has also done its bit by installing bikeways to join up many older sections that might have missed out. As a result, it is now possible to cycle almost the length of the Coast, from Golden Beach to Noosa Heads, without taking your life in your hands on a main road.

B

There are a few exceptions. The most notable is the missing link along Maroochydoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Duporth Avenue where the riverfront, for whatever reason, is for private use only. While this situation is unlikely to change, plans, apparently, are in hand for a cycle way to complete the section from Pacific Paradise to the Maroochy River bridge now that the new additional two-lane span is completed. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoped that this will happen rather soon, as the only real drawback of this most excellent sport occurs when cyclists and drivers are forced to share the same strip of bitumen in close proximity.

As a motorist, I find it merely nerve-wracking passing a cyclist on a busy stretch of road, but there are motorists who hate the pedal pushers with a passion, especially those travelling in packs, and despise their cheek at using the same tarmac as vehicles.

As a cyclist, I like to think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room for us all, so please, have a little courtesy and patience. If there were cycle paths, we

would use them and stay off the road.

But this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about serious cyclists who see only the tyre in front of them.

This is about smelling the roses. So with that in mind, we move from the main networks that link the Sunshine Coast, to the many wonderful routes waiting to be cycled for the sheer pleasure of the ride.

Chancellor Park for example, has lots of pretty paths winding through parks and green strips and past lakes. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a scenic journey if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have anywhere in particular to go. The wide path around the canals of Kawana Island and Parrearra isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bad either.

These delightful trails not only give the pleasure of waterfront views, but also views of the grand canal-front homes built to enjoy the waterfront views. The walls of glass that welcome in the light and the canals also invite the stares of passing cyclists. For stickybeaks, it is an opportunity to just cruise along the canal paths checking out the interiors. So, here we have an excellent opportunity to enjoy

the real estate as much as the scenery and check out the new housing estates from a completely new angle.

All in all, cycling makes a delightful pastime and the Coast is up there with the rest of the world in providing for us to make a day of it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; stop at a tavern for a cleansing ale, at a cafe for lunch and relax for an hour or two and take another route home to make it a round trip.

And this weekend diversion is catching on. Look around and you will see people of all shapes, ages and experience levels out there on mountain bikes, road bikes, racing bikes and rusty old bikes recently hauled out of the garden shed.

This is not all about exercise or the demands of keeping fit, but being social and having fun. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lifestyle that the Sunshine Coast supports admirably, with distances big enough to provide a worthwhile trip but no so big that it becomes daunting. There are plenty out there waiting to be discovered. Get on your bike and see for yourself.

A snapshot of whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing what in the industry A fresh face

Hitting new heights

YOUNG WON

Welcome back

Conon Begley has joined the Raine & Horne Kawana Waters team. He brings more than 22 yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience in the finance, electricity, building and real estate industries with him and will become the officeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Currimundi specialist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love living in Currimundi and it is fantastic to be able to work where you have chosen to live, as you have a natural passion that shines through,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Henzells Pelican Waters specialist Debbie Shellshear has already reached a personal sales record of $5.7 million in sales since January this year. Among the properties sold is the former home of builder David Reid, which fetched $1.83 million, with another property selling to the founders of the 4 Ingredients cookbook series.

Debbie says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Sunshine Coast property market will always remain buoyant, but gone are the days of immediate growth. This year should be a year of constant property prices, but as long as the Sunshine Coast remains next to the Pacific Ocean, we will always be selling homes.â&#x20AC;?

Congratulations to Jason Andrew, who was recently awarded the REIQ Auctioneer of the Year. Jason is the youngest winner of this award and will once again represent Queensland at the Australasian Championships in Tasmania in September. Good luck Jason.

One of Buderimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most successful agents has returned to her passion.

After spending the past few years enjoying her family, Marg Deighton has returned to Brown Realty and the Buderim property market.

Marg, who has worked in the Buderim area for 17 years, is one of the best-known faces in the industry, and she is looking forward to reconnecting with many former clients and colleagues.

Open for business

by Dorothy Drane

Woombye residents can give themselves three cheers on Monday, after years of hard work pays off and the doors to the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first bank finally open. And cheering the loudest will be Woombye Real Estateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Les Hadlow. here will be partying in the streets of Woombye on Monday afternoon, as the community comes together to celebrate the opening of its first bank.

When the Bendigo Bank of Woombye officially opens its doors at 9am on Monday, March 9, it will stand as testament to community spirit and the culmination of a lot of hard work by volunteers.

Serving Woombye and districts, the community bank is located in a new building at the entrance to the town in the main street, Blackall Street. It is at the front, commercial section of a new townhouse development and opposite the butcher. The bank effectively extends the existing commercial centre towards the east.

Parking, always critical in Woombye, is provided under the bank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has been four years in the making,â&#x20AC;? says Woombye Business and

Progress Association chairman Les Hadlow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It all started in 2005, when tremendous support was obtained from the community, but then things got difficult and it stalled a bit when a premises for the bank couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be found.â&#x20AC;?

The principal of Woombye Real Estate, Les was elected to head the local business group early last year and through that, found himself chairman of the proposed community bank steering committee as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bank project more or less went on ice during 2006-07,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was there, but not a lot was being done because of this problem of finding premises. Once the new premises were located, we were off. We then revisited all the people who had earlier pledged their support.â&#x20AC;?

A community must first meet criteria set down by Bendigo Bank for the town to be considered as a franchise location.

T

The original committee had held Saturday morning sausage sizzles in the town to explain to local shoppers what it would mean to them and gain support.

The prospectus was launched in November last year, when 120 people turned up at a meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were overwhelmed by the level of support,â&#x20AC;? Les says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once Bendigo Bank saw the amount of support and confidence [in the community], they agreed to go ahead with the fit-out and employing staff.â&#x20AC;?

As the name suggests, a community bank is formed by the community for the community, not just in terms of providing banking services, but also in putting profits back into the local area.

Les says all profits of the Bendigo Bank will go back into Woombye â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 20 per cent would be dividends to shareholders and 80 per cent to be spent within the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It could be

lighting or bus shelters or any of those things that the community might identify that it needs,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Groups who deal with the bank can apply for a grant and their application will be assessed by the board of directors.

Les says the community bank pays only its employees and everyone else involved, including the board made

up of local businesspeople are volunteers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only thing we ask of the community is that they support the businesses that support the bank,â&#x20AC;? Les says.

Growth of the Woombye area has made it possible for the town to support its first bank and Les says he expects that it could be an $80 to $100 million business within five years.

It offers a complete range of banking services including business banking and financial planning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means that people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to leave town to do their banking and also that people will come from further afield, as Woombye will save them a trip to Maroochydore and more built-up areas,â&#x20AC;?

Les says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catchment extends to the range and beyond, Eudlo, Forest Glen and even Kunda Park. For some people it is going to be easier to come here to do their banking.â&#x20AC;?

There will be an amnesty for the first three months so that people can move their account and loans across without incurring bank fees.

While the bank will open its doors at 9am, the celebrations wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t begin until close of business on the first day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be a street party celebration in the afternoon starting at 5pm and we have a full entertainment program lined up,â&#x20AC;? Les says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;School children will be involved in the celebrations as they are our future.â&#x20AC;?

With 11 acres of land, just a stoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s throw from Nambour CBD, this home has everything. The spacious and comfortable three-bedroom studio-style home blends beautifully into the surrounds. It has a generous deck, an even blend of timbered areas and large open tracts of land, dam, ample rainwater tanks and a well-maintained septic system. There is a lock-up shed and double carport plus space for the shed or workshop. Run some chooks (the current owner does) or set up a vegie patch.

Investors keep the market growing Sunshine Coast commercial yields remain resilient despite vacancy growth. unshine Coast yeild rates have been resilient despite the growth in vacancy rates during 2008.

Recent figures released by the Property Council of Australia show that the size of the Sunshine Coast office market grew by 14,000 square metres in 2008 – the market is now more than 120,000 square metres. Due to the growth in office stock the vacancy rate has climbed to 10.4 per cent in the region.

RP Data’s PIM database compiles figures of non-residential transactions for the Sunshine Coast.

The aggregated results of sales for the past 12 to 24 months show that the yield rates have been resilient despite the growth in vacancy rates for 2008.

Industrial yields finished slightly

S

ahead of the national average at 7.26 per cent while yields for commercial and retail were slightly below the national average.

Yields below the national average indicate that investors are not turning away from the Sunshine Coast and keeping competition high for quality stock. There is little indication that the higher vacancy rates are pushing prices down and yields up, and looking at recent results show that yields are steady.

The broad range of stock available for investment across commercial, industrial and retail demonstrates the maturing market of the Coast. Current investment opportunities include industrial units from $220,000 to hotels and retail for more than $12 million.

Opportunity in the Park unda Park has been the hub of industry on the Sunshine Coast for years, with many of the Coast’s bigger businesses choosing to set up their head offices and depots there. Robert Webber from Commercialfn.com says there are great opportunities in the area.

He has just listed 35 Enterprise Street at Kunda Park and the new owners are keen to see their property fully tenanted.

“Although many are viewing the current economic downturn with concern, smart operators are looking for the opportunities that will emerge,” he says. “I believe the opportunity to lease this property is one of those ‘golden eggs’ the goose has laid.

“With similar properties renting for $100 to $110 per square metre for warehouse/factory space, the current owner is offering $75 per square metre for a long-term tenant with office space $160 per square metre.”

The air-conditioned office building consists of five separate offices, a reception/showroom area, kitchen and separate bathroom facilities. Contact Robert Webber on 5499 5600.

“ A FRESH APPROACH TO CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING

Jamie Holbrook Principal, Property Today

The property at Main Creek Road in Tanawha received immediate and constant buyer enquiry the moment the MPR advertisement hit the streets.

The Sellers had 29 buyers inspect their property at the f rst open home in a period of just 30 minutes! In total, the Sellers had 58 inspections in three weeks, with multiple offers and a stress-free sale one week prior to auction.

The property was exclusively marketed with My Property Review using a solid marketing campaign and the Sellers are ecstatic with the result.

new home & land

Raising the bar in Nambour Quality townhouse living is affordable in the hinterland town, thanks to Sea Vista Developments’ latest project. lready having completed and sold out The Views and Carter Ridge, two quality townhouse developments in Carter Road, Nambour, Sea Vista Developments is now under way with its new project Vista Estate.

Stage one is already off the ground and Sea Vista managing director Alf Sorbello is proud of the new development. “As soon as I saw this beautiful piece of land in Bade Street, I knew we could build a residential community that Nambour could be very proud of. The rainforest setting and short walk to town were two features we couldn’t ignore.”

Ten executive-style townhouses are under construction – six with two bedrooms, four with three bedrooms and all with ensuites, decks, courtyards and garages. Sea Vista construction manager Paul Messineo says, “The two bedders are a generous 165 square metres of living space and the three bedders are 209 square metres. We believe bigger is better and our finishes are A1 and guaranteed.”

“This is Nambour’s premier townhouse development,” says marketing agent Craig Heppell, of Victor Realty.

“The size and quality of these houses is something else. The three-bedroom townhouses are only five minutes’ walk to town in this beautiful setting, and are very keenly priced between $347,000 and $359,900. That is enormous value.”

With stage one due for completion in July/August, Craig has a word of warning for prospective buyers.

“Investors are back stalking the market,” he says. “Don’t wait for the inevitable competition. First-home buyers qualify for their $21,000 if they get on contract before June 30.

“I sold all of Sea Vista’s 31 other quality townhouses before completion.

A

Artist impression This development is no different in terms of quality and value for money.

A further 26 three-bedroom townhouses will follow in early 2010.

Paul says, “These beauties can be secured now and pre-June 30 first-home buyer grants and stamp duty exemptions apply to these as well.”

Paul is delighted at the progress of the development. “We are pretty much on target to have the first 10 townhouses completed by July/August this year. We are so fortunate the weather of late has not held us up.”

Craig says, “Foundations, frames and block work are already up. I encourage anyone looking to invest or live in this go-ahead hinterland hub to call.”
