The offer is applicable to all Inspirations Series and Aspirations Series homes where a deposit is paid prior to 15th December 2013. “The Family Favourites Deal allows our customers to select the luxuries of their choice for inside and outside the home,” explains Dennis Family Homes Shepparton Area Manager, Jason Watts. “With our wide range of available extras, there is no shortage of possibilities in helping to create their own individual wish list of personal touches to complete the home.” The total value of applicable free upgrades in the Family Favourites Deal varies according to the individual design and size of each home up to a maximum of $25,000. Mr Watts says that as a builder of choice for the Mooroopna West Growth Corridor Project in the Building Better Regional Cities (BBRC) program, Dennis Family Homes is looking forward to helping families and first home buyers achieve home ownership. “Using grants of $40,000 now available through the Mooroopna West Growth Corridor Project, plus an additional $10,000 for eligible first home buyers, we are currently offering house and land packages in Mooroopna from an incredible low price of just $239,300.

Building approvals reach three year high RESIDENTIAL building approvals have hit their highest level since early 2010, according to the Housing Industry Association (HIA), the voice of Australia’s residential building industry. “Total residential building approvals in September 2013 increased by 14.4 percent compared with August on a seasonally adjusted basis,” said HIA Senior Economist, Shane Garrett. “This brought total approvals to 16,318 during the month. We have not seen a figure higher than this since March 2010. “If we look at the quarter ended September 2013, approvals increased by 8 percent compared with the previous quarter. Total approvals are 19.3 percent higher when compared with the same quarter of 2012. “The main message from these figures is that the Reserve Bank of Australia’s interest rate cuts over the past two years are

helping to support activity on the ground. “It is important that residential construction activity continues to grow in order to make up for the shortfall in building over the last decade. Residential land being made available more speedily would be one outcome supportive of this objective.” In September 2013, total seasonally adjusted building approvals growth was strongest in New South Wales (+25.2 percent), followed by Victoria (+18 percent) and Western Australia (+12.3 percent). Approvals also increased in Queensland (+3.8 percent) and South Australia (+0.8 percent). In trend terms, total building approvals were flat in the Northern Territory and declined by 4.3 percent in the ACT during September. Tasmania also saw approvals fall during September (-10.3 percent).

A new home dream come true LOCAL Mooroopna couple, Jamie and Janine Portelli had been searching for the right home to suit their tastes, budget and lifestyle for the better part of the last decade. Janine said, “We had been looking at the Sessions Builders display homes for around eight years, we just loved their designs. Initially we bought an established home, because the style of home we wanted was a bit above our price range, being our first home. So we started off with an older house and did a bit to it and then we’ve worked our way up from there. “When we found the perfect block in Mooroopna, we went straight to Rocco at Sessions Builders.” Jamie and Janine fell in love with the Sessions Builders display home, the Vista and after sitting down with Rocco, Carl and the team, they were able to revise the plan into a version to suit their lifestyle and budget needs. Jamie and Janine also love the older world charm and with Sessions Builders they were able to personalise their home with pressed tin features, external lattice work and antique light and power sockets to suit their tastes. Janine said, “I’m not really a modern person, I don’t particularly like the modern looking houses, I appreciate the timber features and country feel and Sessions’ offered a variety of façades that we liked. Jamie, “We can’t fault the building process, Sessions’ really provided a job well done. Between everyone including Rocco, Bethanie, Dianne and Peter we couldn’t fault them. “All of the tradies that worked on the house were wonderful too. We’d heard that building could be stressful, but there was really no stress at all. “And with Sessions’, we even had the flexibility of being able to use my brother-in-law to do some work for us, which was great.” Sales and Pre Construction Administrator, Bethanie Sessions said, “The home was perfect for the design of the block. Because the block was set back with a long narrow driveway leading to a wider section at the rear, the house is somewhat hidden, providing a lovely amount of privacy from the road. “The block shape provided a very unique canvas for the style of house Jamie and Janine wanted, and it really works very well. “Jamie and Janine certainly put their own touch on a Sessions’ home, which was

really nice. At Sessions Builders we believe in offering that level of flexibility to our clients still maintaining our quality of finish.” Jamie added, “We would definitely recommend Sessions Builders to people looking at building their own home. Go for it, don’t look anywhere else. We couldn’t fault them.” After what was described as a seamless building process, Jamie and Janine looked forward to moving in to their brand new home on the weekend.

VERSATILE OUTDOOR AREA… Hotondo Homes Shepparton has a wonderful range of home designs including a fantastic alfresco area for the whole family to enjoy. Check it our at their display home, the Lockhart 310 on Canterbury Avenue in Shepparton. Photo: Alicia Niglia.
Love outdoor living WITH summer fast approaching there is nothing better than having a BBQ with friends on a balmy night, enjoying a romantic dinner or reading a book on a lazy Sunday morning. Outdoor living is quintessential to the Australian lifestyle and including an alfresco area has become an essential extension of the home. Local Hotondo Homes’ Builder, Colin Mintern sees the alfresco area as one of the most important zones for the modern family. “Just like the kitchen, living and dining area provide a communal hub for the family to gather, the outdoor alfresco area encourages interaction,” says Colin. “The outdoor living area is often a place for friends and family to share a meal, teenagers to host a party or is used as a retreat to escape the busyness of everyday life.” Colin considers that adding an alfresco area to your home is best done in the early stages of building as it can help create better flow and continuity with the rest of the home. “Our Lockhart 310 showcases a beautiful kitchen living and dining area connected to the alfresco. This is not only great for the workings of day-to-day life but also great for entertaining,” adds Colin. “We have a great range of flexible home designs which include a versatile outdoor area, that maximise space and promote multi-purpose, open air living just like our display home.” Hotondo Homes Shepparton have recently opened their new display home, the Lockhart 310. The versatile 33 square home is ideal for a growing family displaying a beautiful and modern alfresco area. The Lockhart 310 is located at 53 Canterbury Avenue, Shepparton and is open from 12pm - 5pm, 7 days a week. For more information please contact Colin and the team at Hotondo Homes Shepparton on 5831 2250 or go online to hotondo.com.au.
Positive data signals end of rate-cutting cycle STRONG employment and inflation data has encouraged the Reserve Bank of Australia to leave the official cash rate on hold at 2.5 percent. Mortgage Choice spokesperson, Jessica Darnbrough said the Australian economy continues to go from strength to strength, removing the need for further rate cuts this year. “Last month, the unemployment rate fell 0.1 percent to 5.6 percent, while the Consumer Price Index increased by 1.2 percent over the September quarter, taking the annual inflation rate to 2.2 percent - within the Reserve Bank’s target range,” she said. “Furthermore, the NAB Monthly Business Survey found business confidence strengthened considerably in September – hitting its highest level in three and a half years. “This positive data shows the Australian economy is performing very well at the current time, so it was unsurprising to see the Reserve Bank leave the cash rate untouched at the historically low level of 2.5 percent.” Ms Darnbrough said with interest rates continuing to hover around record lows, now is a great time for Australians to consider jumping onto the property ladder or review their current home loan. “If you are considering purchasing a home in the near future, now may be a good time to capitalise on the current state of the market – before rates and property prices rise further. “Alternatively, if you already have a property, now could be a good time to review your current home loan and check to make sure you are still in the right product for your needs.”

Building better regional cities Mooroopna West Growth Corridor takes shape MOOROOPNA is fast becoming the growth corridor of the Goulburn Valley, particularly with the recent exciting news of a major housing development west of the city. The area has for a long time been restricted in its development by flooding problems. Those problems have now been overcome by a combined initiative of the council and the Federal Government under the Government’s Building Better Regional Cities program. An extensive drainage scheme will be constructed which will enable the Mooroopna West Growth Corridor to be developed. The Government appointed Ethan Housing as
Page 8 – The Adviser, New House & Land – November 2013
Facilitator for the project. As par t of the incentive the Council and the Government are providing substantial grants to enable aspiring home owners to achieve their dreams at owning their own homes by offering grants of $40,000 to selected applicants who may also qualify for a $10,000 new home owners grant from the State Government. Part of Ethan Housing’s job has been to select and approve the home builders and to approve applications by Mooroopna home owners. The builders who have been appointed are Dennis Family Homes, Sessions Builders, JG King, Metricon and Cavalier Homes.
The Council and Ethan´ have worked closely with house developers - Waranga Pty Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiar y of Kavant Nominees Pty Ltd) who are developing Archer’s Field Estate and Finborough’s Westwood Run - to provide the necessary land for the scheme. The entire community will benefit from the flow-on effects of this great initiative. For more information or to enquire about available blocks, contact selling agents, Youngs & Co on 5825 4833 or Chilcott Real Estate on 5825 4200.

Investing in real estate BUYING real estate can be about more than just finding a place to call home. Investing in real estate has become increasingly popular over the last fifty years and has become a common investment vehicle. As an investment, a person will buy or build a home and rent it out to a tenant. The owner, the landlord, is responsible for paying the mortgage, taxes and costs of maintaining the property. Ideally, the landlord charges enough rent to cover all of the costs, but a common strategy can be to negative gear and establish a tax deduction. Furthermore, the property may also have appreciated in value over the course of the mortgage, leaving the landlord with a more valuable asset. Dallas Moore, Shepparton Branch Manager at GMCU said, “Property investors should make sure they get good legal and financial advice before deciding to buy an investment property. When they have made up their mind that it is the right investment for them, they should talk to an experienced lender about their options.” A property investor will need to consider things like using the equity in their own home, how they will cover repayments if the property becomes untenanted, and will the rent sufficiently cover landlord expenses and maintenance or will they need to contribute from their wages. Dallas added, “GMCU has years of experience in helping investors buy property. All our branches have experienced lenders who can help anyone who may be considering buying an investment property.” GMCU has branches throughout central Victoria and can be contacted on 5821 9033 or at www.gmcu.com.au
