ith the University of Western Sydney holding a campus close to the heart of Penrith, there are bound to be a number of students travelling long distances to study, who need a place to stay. According to landlord insurance company, Terri Scheer, an area with a large number of students, especially international students, needing accommodation presents unique opportunities for property investors. “International students travel a long way from home to carry out their university studies and want somewhere to live that is equipped to suit their needs,” said Terri Scheer Insurance Executive Manger Carolyn Majda (pictured). “Because they don’t bring many belongings to Australia, furnished properties hold particular appeal.” Property investors with rental homes in close proximity to the UWS Kingswood and Penrith Campus’ who are looking at targeting the student market for potential tenants would do well to look at furnishing their property, Ms Majda said. “For many students, their home is a place to sleep and study. This means they will require a suitable study environment including a desk and good lighting, modern appliances and high speed Internet connection,” she said. “Also think about the bedding and whether double or single beds will be the most practical choice. Students generally don’t have large budgets therefore décor and furnishings can be kept minimal.” Before a tenant moves in, documenting the contents of the property is essential and will be beneficial for various reasons.

Positive growth continues H
ousing finance data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has revealed 2014 is off to its hottest start in five years and nearly every state is showing double digit growth. Loan Market director Mark De Martino said that 13 per cent more home loans were approved this past January than in January 2013 and New South Wales was showing the strongest improvement. “The 51,054 home loan approvals this past January is the highest January total we’ve seen since 2009. As long as interest rates remain low and lenders continue their aggressive moves, we’re going to see more growth and more activity in the real estate and finance markets,” he said. “We’re coming off a low base

but these numbers are still a clear indication that consumer appetite for home finance is growing. The fact is that a larger number of home owners and buyers are active in the market.” Mr De Martino praised the efforts of the Reserve Bank of Australia, saying that the prolonged period of stability in the cash rate has helped customer confidence. “The lowest interest rates of this generation are one of the factors helping the recovery of the home finance markets. With no immediate rate movements predicted by most analysts, we should expect the cash rate to remain where it is for several more months,” he said. The ABS data also showed that since January 2009, banks have continued their dominance of the lending landscape by approving 91 per cent of all loans since January 2009. Mr De Martino also noted the interesting observation that December and January loan approvals only differed by 11 loans nationally. “Maintaining such high national numbers through the two months of the year that are traditionally slower due to seasonality is a great example of how the market is recovering,” he said.

South Penrith
@wwpenrith
In demand There’s very little South Penrith doesn’t offer when it comes to family living in Sydney’s western suburbs
W
ith a huge influx of second-generation buyers, there is no doubt that South Penrith is an area in demand. An established residential area immediately south of the thriving metropolis of Penrith, South Penrith is located within the boundaries of the Northern Road and M4 Western Motorway. Conveniently located only 55km from the Sydney CBD, the region initially consisted purely of orchards, dairy farms and vineyards. It also housed a former racecourse that is now known as Jamison Park, the area’s central
2750 location for year-round sporting activities and events. After being subdivided in the 1970s, South Penrith became the ideal destination for families. Not only was it close to Penrith City, but also within walking distance to schools, shops and amenities. The area currently boasts a young demographic of predominantly 25-30 year-olds, with 53.7 per cent of the 11,640-strong population consisting of couples and families. The largest segment of the population is in full-time employment, with a diverse mix of administrative staff, tradesmen and professionals. Understandably, over 50 per cent of the population consists of couples and families due to the varied choice of public and private educational opportunities. York, Jamisontown and Penrith South Public Schools cater for the younger children, while Jamison High School caters for Years 7 to 12. Central to South Penrith is the newly-renovated Southlands Shopping Centre, with convenient access via both car (over 300 parking spaces are available) and public transport (bus stops are in close walking proximity). Boasting over 20 specialty destinations, the centre caters for everything from retail and dining through to medical, beauty and healthcare. South Penrith is also characterised by its physical accessibility – residents and visitors have easy access via wide roads with ample parking, a public bus system, and well-maintained cycling and walking paths. South Penrith has developed into an incredibly high-demand market.

Growing in popularity
W Lee Waterhouse Property Central
the agent says Next Week: Lee Waterhouse looks at the suburb of Leonay
hile out-of-area investors increasingly drive sales in other locations of the Penrith LGA, second-generation buyers who themselves have been raised in South Penrith are dominating the South Penrith residential market. Sales activity over the last 12 months has heightened, with the area boasting an average of 63 people looking for property at any one time. This is more than three times the NSW average! There are a number of factors as to why this is happening. One is undoubtedly the strong median growth in the area – over the last three years, house price growth rates have been consistently higher in South Penrith than that of the average growth across the Penrith City region. This has not gone unnoticed by our buyers as they recognise the suburb as an ideal location for investment. Another factor is the secondgeneration buyers who are keen
to raise their families in the area. Having experienced all that South Penrith has to offer, we are seeing a consistent influx of young couples and families who quite obviously value the strong sense of community that South Penrith provides. With not only diverse options for education and medical treatment, as well as first-class sporting, recreation and retail facilities, these buyers also find South Penrith’s affordability and value-for-money appealing. Couple this with the strong median growth in the area, and you have the perfect family investment! The significant sales growth that Property Central has experienced in South Penrith is echoed by research undertaken by RP Data. Over the last 12 months alone, we have seen some impressive statistics: 186 houses sold at a median sale price of $405,000, and eight units sold at a median sale price of $312,000. With a guaranteed return on
investment, it is clear that the popularity of the area is on an upwards trajectory. Is it the spacious property sizes, the wide roads, and the cycling and walking paths that make it so appealing? Perhaps it’s the close location to the Penrith CBD, or the family-friendly atmosphere? Regardless, one thing is clear – if you’re looking to relocate into an area that is conveniently-located, has plenty of amenities that suit all ages groups and is growing in value, South Penrith is the suburb for you!
