real estate lifestyle real estate

NORTH SHORE SENSATION THIS is an extra-ordinary opportunity to purchase a property which has been tightly held for 21 years by the current owners.

This is an exceptional location on the riverfront, which is a one in a million location when you look at what is available on the water in Noosa.

A Gabriel Poole designed home with interesting living spaces, with views to Culgoa Point from the dining and lounge room areas. This property is for the adventurous soul, who definitely wants to live away from the hustle and bustle of tourists in Noosa and Hastings Street, but be

Great location close enough to access at any time.

Land size is 4555 square metres, with plenty of native and fruit trees.

Tank water available with the three tanks totalling 60,000 litres. With the recent sales in the area, we can justify our seller's expectations at $2 million. â—?

What’s the market doing?....

We get asked this all the time – there is so much conflicting information out there, and it is easy to read it incorrectly. Firstly, which market are we talking about? Is it the affordable housing in Tewantin, the holiday units in Noosaville, the luxury and prestige housing in Sunshine, Noosa Waters and Noosa Sound? All have different drivers and do not necessarily move in synch, and as we have seen the local markets are definitely not in synch with Sydney and Melbourne.

There are of course correlations and influences on all segments, and today with so much economic manipulation there can be a sharp change. I remember from school economics the theory of elasticity of demand, where a decrease in sales of one product can be inversely related to another – the classic example was in a downturn sales of fillet steak would go down and sausages went up ( not necessarily true today with gourmet sausages at $14 a kilo!).

When I started in this industry in the late 80’s there was a 6 month lag on the Noosa market behind the southern capitals, and that could be still be argued today. When the Sydney market adjusted down last year our top end was still firing and carried on for months – the move of southern money to“more for your money” here. It became harder to move mid-priced property – days on market lengthening, vendor discounting increasing, but the sausage theory worked, with many buyers opting for less risky price points.

There are people buying Noosa area property who have so much money, from industries and businesses that did not exist a decade ago, that frankly the price is almost irrelevant to them. Certainly we defied state and national trends to some degree over the past year or two.“Lies, damn lies and statistics” – depending on how you interpret these past 2 years stats you get two different answers. There was considerable disagreement a few months ago over the REIQ figures – the stats are collated quarterly, and then summated annually. My granny used to say “one swallow doesn’t make a summer” – it is easy to look at one event and declare it as a trend. Latest Corelogic RPData (and REIQ) figures show Noosa as the standout over the last 2 years for growth, but although over a 12 month period the area grew, the December 2018 quarter fell 8.2% and the March quarter fell 4.7%. Is this a swallow or a trend?? Certainly post-election and with all the economic manipulation we are ANECDOTALLY seeing the reverse trend already (with some lag) – initially listings increased, days on market connectedly lengthened, and now buyers are showing more interest, so the outlook looks good! All we need now is the banks to front up for action with the serviceability %age decreasing from 7% to +2.5% over the market rate, and approve more loans!
