DIY PROJECTS TO KEEP YOUR BUSY OVER SUMMER!

Summer in Australia means spending more time outside thanks to daylight savings, backyard barbecues, alfresco entertaining, and family gatherings.

Whilst you are home over the summer holidays, consider completing a few DIY projects that are both cost-effective and add dimension and functionality to your outdoor space. A backyard project will be a gift

that you can continue to enjoy for years to come.

“There are lots of great and simple projects that can be done in the backyard that will complement the home and spruce up the outdoors, ready for summer. It’s a great way to get the whole family involved and enjoy our beautiful climate,” said landscape expert and Adbri Masonry brand ambassador, Jason Hodges.

Here, Jason Hodges suggests three DIY functional and low-cost projects, that you can do over the summer season.

The Outdoor Shower

Embrace nature and create a tranquil space in your backyard with an outdoor shower. For those who don’t have the space for a pool, an outdoor shower is a great alternative to cooling off during those scorching Aussie heat waves. It is important to consider the plumbing points, screening for privacy and a sustainable water management

system. Opt for Adbri Masonry’s Ecotrihex Permeable Pavers which are specially designed to allow water to permeate through the surface into the layers below where water can be harvested or redirected.

Outdoor Pizza Oven or BBQ

The Aussie love affair with the great outdoors means we can create an outdoor kitchen that is both enjoyable and practical. Creating the perfect base for a BBQ bench top or pizza oven is made easy with Adbri Masonry’s Versaloc. This dry stack system is easy to lay, does not require any mortar or glues, and gives a clean finish.

Built-in Furniture

Extend your entertaining possibilities and invest in built-in furniture that will add structure, dimension and aesthetics to the backyard while maximising your space and allowing you to comfortably entertain more people this summer.

Jocelyn and the Team of @realty would love to wish Penrith and all of Western Sydney a Safe and Happy Christmas. Thank you to our amazing clients and business partners for their support. Jocelyn looks forward to further working with her community for all their Real estate needs.

Why did you become involved in the real estate industry?

Always have been from my early finance days the transition happened when I was looking to supplement my income with weekend work to feed a growing family.

Why should people choose you over other agents?

Close to 51 years dealing with people and their property needs. I don’t have all the answers, but I come very close.

What has been your biggest ever real estate achievement?

My biggest achievement is UNDERSTANDING my client’s needs/exit strategy, ensuring that I can get them to the finish line with the right result at that point in time. Isn’t that what it’s all about!

What should people do to ensure their home sells or rents for the best possible price?

There are several things.

- Present the property to the best of their ability and financial budget

- Do their own market research, its far easier nowadays than in the past

- Stand back and view their property from a BUYERS/TENANTS perspective. WHAT DO YOU SEE?

Morton Penrith – Thornton, has been managing and selling properties in Thornton Estate since the beginning of the first stage of units being constructed in 2016.

REAL ESTATE FLASHBACK

This week we’re looking back at some historical shots of Jamisontown, thanks to Penrith City Library...

HOLY TRINITY CHURCH ON PRESTON STREET WAS BUILT IN 1908 AND OPENED ON DECEMBER 13, 1908 AND SERVED A GROWING NUMBER OF PEOPLE ON THE FARMS OF SOUTH PENRITH. THE CHURCH WAS SOLD IN 1947 AND BECAME A PRIVATE RESIDENCE.

THE MITRE 10 STORE WAS LOCATED ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF YORK ROAD IN THE 1980S AND 1990S.

WHAT DOES THE NEXT 12 MONTHS HAVE IN STORE?

This is the time of year when people ask for your predictions about what may happen in the year ahead. After reviewing what I wrote in Broking Breakdown a year ago, my response is: ‘I have no idea!’

A year ago in this column I made the confident prediction: ‘If you are a mortgage holder you can expect at least another 12 months of record low home loan interest rates’.

I wasn’t going out on a limb here. The Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), Dr Philip Lowe (pictured bottom right), had been repeatedly stating that economic

conditions wouldn’t force the RBA to increase its then cash rate of 0.1 per cent until at least 2024.

Of course, Vladimir Putin didn’t let Dr Lowe in on the fact Russia would invade Ukraine in February and help trigger a global economic crisis which would cause a surge in inflation around the world.

By May this year, the RBA had started lifting official interest rates and it has done so for eight consecutive months. We finish 2022 with Australia’s cash rate three percentage points higher at 3.1 per cent – its highest level in a decade.

I can confidently predict that interest rates will keep rising in 2023, because Dr Lowe told me so.

“The board expects to increase interest rates further over the period ahead, but it is not on a pre-set course,” the RBA said in a statement after its final meeting of the year.

“It is closely monitoring the global economy, household spending and wage and price-setting behaviour. The size and timing of future interest rate increases will continue to be determined by the incoming data and the Board’s assessment of the outlook for inflation and the labour market. The board remains resolute in its determination to return inflation to target and will do what is necessary to achieve that.”

So, there you go. I was more accurate in my 2021 forecast for the Penrith Panthers to secure back-to-back NRL Premierships in 2022. I’ll stick my neck out and tip them to get a hat-trick!

Melissa Jerzyna – Penrith

Her criteria has helped the agency to build a management portfolio of more than 600 properties.

“It is very important for everyone to match the right person with the right property,” Ms Jerzyna said.

“We also treat both landlords and tenants the same. At the end of the day, without respect for both parties you have kaos and small issues manifest into larger problems. Mutual respect is the only foundation on which to build solid relationships.”

Ms Jerzyna started working in real estate straight out of high school more than 20 years ago. With a passion for all things connected to the property market, she took an entry-level position as a receptionist. Just a year later, she was promoted to property officer and later into a management position.

Ms Jerzyna joined LJ Hooker Penrith 12 years ago and has won the network’s title of NSW Property Manager of the Year four times in the past five years. She has twice been the recipient of LJ Hooker’s International Property Manager of the Year. She is also a member of the prestigious LJ Hooker Captain’s Club which recognises the network’s top performers.

Ms Jerzyna’s day-to-day tasks include accounts, business development, building portfolios and managing staff.

“I am very big on organisation, so everything runs pretty seamlessly”, she said. “I really enjoy helping people, particularly those who have just bought their first investment property, so I will hold their hand the whole way through and make sure they are happy with the process. The system doesn’t have to be hard if you have the right advice.”
