Spring marches into Noosa Buyer attention is coming into focus on the Noosa market as the spring selling season kicks off and meets the oncoming tide of interstate visitors eager to shrug off the last few icicles of winter.

I have always said “Come the start of spring they will all be coming over the hill with their cheque books in their hand” –

Q. What will they find this year?

A. Very limited amounts of prime stock.

Peter Butt Co-Principal

While the competition for property in Sydney and Melbourne has driven their markets higher it has now made the Noosa market look like very good value. There is no doubt that our market has come off the bottom but still represents great buying.

Peter is marketing three prime properties in the sought after Little Cove Market.

Apartment 2 “Villa Nette” 56 Park Road, Little Cove

Apartment 1 “The Cove” 24 Little Cove Road, Little Cove

Apartment 1 “Cuvee” 29 Allambi Rise, Little Cove

The start of this year saw a strong and steady flow of investment money flowing into bricks & mortar from investors looking for security, taxation relief and a better return than bank interest or the volatility of the stock market. This intensified the market for the self-managed superfunds investing in the $500k to $1 mill bracket.

I think it has taken much longer than anticipated to recover confidence since the GFC hit. However, this is now definitely behind us and the pure residential component to the Noosa market is coming into a new growth phase, with strong confidence being shown from residents within the Noosa market who have taken steps to upgrade their positions. They see real value in the very restricted supply available in the prime positions that have come to the market in recent times. We are seeing older homes in prime spots being demolished to make way for modern architect designed residences. Vacant land in Little Cove, Noosa Sound and Sunshine Beach has been snapped up and new building projects enacted.

The “Smart Money” has been on the move into the prime end of the market for almost a year, largely unnoticed. I suggest that the first mover advantage is being taken up and those securing long term value in prime positions are going to be well rewarded in the coming year. Once some of these prime opportunities have been taken out of the market and supply subsequently declines we will become aware of just how undersupplied the Noosa market really is at this end of the market.

At the same time, while the market is still in transition, we are seeing existing listed properties selling under replacement value, especially those properties that have been in the sale process since last summer. Buyers need to act on these properties while the supply of them still exists.

I have seen a number of value buyers missing out on well-priced properties thinking that better value may pop up around the corner. They are simply not popping up…..

Canberra have a well-established auction culture with this sale method well accepted by vendors and buyers, while the other capital cities still list the vast majority of

homes for sale via private treaty.

Across the capital cities, Melbourne is still the city where auctions are the most popular method of selling a home.

According to the data, there were about 380,000 dwellings advertised for sale across Australia’s capital cities over the 2014/15 financial year, of which roughly 84,000, or 26 per cent, were advertised as auction sales.

The data states 39 per cent of all Melbourne’s residential property listings over the past financial year were taken to auction, with Sydney and Canberra not far behind at 38 per cent and 36 per cent respectively.

The article states the proportion of auction sales has broadly been rising since the 2008/09 financial year when auctions comprised a much lower 16 per cent of all dwellings listed for sale.

“Interestingly, when we examine the proportion of listings taken to auction across product types, Canberra and Sydney are both showing a larger proportion of auction listings for houses than Melbourne,” Mr

Mr Lawless said the rise in the proportion of residential properties taken to auction should come as no surprise, considering how hot housing market conditions are in the auction centric cities of Melbourne and Sydney.

“While housing market conditions remain strong, particularly in Sydney and Melbourne, it is likely that auctions will continue to be a popular way of selling a residential property,” Mr Lawless said.

According to the data, the 0.9 per cent annual rise in capital city rents is the slowest rate of growth on record, with data going back to December 1995.

Mr Nolan shares his top tips when it comes to seasonal selling.

Think beyond spring The geography of your home can be a contributing factor to the ideal time to sell. In hot or humid areas for instance, your property may be more appealing during the cooler months. Or your home may have particular features like an open fireplace or underfloor heating that are best showcased

during the cooler months.

Remember too, with potentially fewer buyers around in winter or autumn, you could enjoy faster turnaround times on professional services like your solicitor or conveyancer. If you are selling in winter, be sure to choose inspection times when your home’s interior receives maximum sunlight.
