JUST LISTED

68 O’Connors Road, Nulkaba Welcome to the 8th edition of Stone Property News. Since our last edition we have had the election and as a result buyers are well and truly out and about and ready to buy.

Also since the election our office has had 6 sales in the Cessnock and Bellbird. We have also listed some quality homes with 68 O’Connors Road Nulkaba being a standout. This executive McDonald Jones home sits on 2027 sqm and is less than 12 months old. The upgrades to this home really sets it apart from most other homes on the market and is a must see.

Interestingly for the first time in over 12 months we are seeing an increase in the number of investors in our market looking for properties. With these investors now back in the market, combined with the interest rate cut and possibly more to come, we have certainly seen a halt to our falling house prices.

Increase The Value Of Your Home Continuing on our tips on increasing the value of your home, here is this edition’s tip: Tip 2: In order to present your home in the best way imaginable, in addition to regular cleaning, it is important that you think of clearing away and hiding everyday clutter less is more! Decide what should be left visible that is beneficial to the presentation of your home. Remove the superfluous things and bulky furniture as free surfaces make rooms look more spacious and add some neutral items or detail. This will make the home appear neat and bright, with the idea that any buyer can get a feel of what it would be like to live in your home, but not be influenced by your style. For neutrality set aside photographs of loved ones and hide traces of pets. › Use flowers, plants, blankets and candles to make the home appear softer and lived in. › Make sure all lights in the home work. Don’t forget the candles also! › Create free spaces around windows so that natural light comes in.

Exterior Use outdoor furniture, including pillows, blankets, lanterns and plants to make the area look inviting. › Move the car out of the driveway. › Put away bicycles, garbage bins and any garden tools. › Use flowers and potted plants to enhance your garden area. › Keep your lawn tidy, grass cut and leaves swept away.

Perseverance Vendor Review - Recommended by Dennis 22 June 2019 From the very beginning of the sales process, Michael was constantly on top of what was going on, actively promoting the property and arranging for people to come through. He was even on top of making sure I did all the things that were necessary to show the property to its advantage. Even when we had a solid buyer Michael did not stop promoting and showing the property until the sale was actually confirmed.

Michael was diligent about calling through a report after every inspection and didn’t slacken off until we knew we had a sale and that’s the kind of energy I really wanted to see in my agent in these difficult times for sellers. I can’t fault Michael’s performance.
