HAMILTON ISL AND | WHITSUNDAYS | GREAT BARRIER REEF

Words from the Principal, Ali Mian We are now halfway through 2022, with this edition of the Northshore magazine marking the end of the financial year for 2021-2022. This financial year has seen astronomical success for the Ray White Mian Group; we sold and settled over $703 million in this financial year alone! Covering all corners of the Northern Gold Coast, we have been consistently selling at all-time high, record prices.

Update on the Property Market The Gold Coast market saw an unprecedented sale volume over the past year, with a strong demand for homes across the Coast. Property value has increased, as has the median home price for many areas.

Auctions remain a popular method of sale; our Group’s auction clearance rate has been over 70%.

Recently, we have seen an influx of both interstate and international inquiry. This is accredited to the Australian borders opening for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic began. Also, the Gold Coast continues to experience a strong, and increasing population growth, with many falling in love with the Coast’s beaches, sunny weather, and central location! According to a recent Gold Coast bulletin article by Greg Stolz, it is anticipated that the Gold Coast will experience an increased migration rate, with an expected 200,000 population boom by 2032. This will come as apart of the efforts to prepare the Gold Coast for hosting the 2032 Olympic Games, such as the proposed extension of the light rail system and investments in infrastructure.

Changes for Real Estate?

Within the last year, there has been many changes, both with Covid-19 but also, with an increasing shift towards employing technology and its tools. For instance, we have seen demands for virtual inspections, open homes and video calls, with many buyers purchasing from oversees and interstate. There has also been an increasing call towards moving auctions into the online arena. Consequently, our Group has been trialing with and directing our focus towards using online mediums, whilst increasing our online engagement, to provide the best results for our clients.

Changes for the Ray White Mian Group As many of you may know, our Group has undergone significant changes in the last year. For the first time in over two decades,

Runaway Bay 07 5528 8878 1/445 Oxley Drive Runaway Bay our Group was renamed from the Ray White Runaway Bay Group to the Ray White Mian Group.

This change comes as a part of our office’s expansion, with all our branches going through extensive renovations. Our Runaway Bay office will be the final office to transform and will be completed in the upcoming few weeks. This renovation will bring a brand-new fit out, increased office space and new Real Estate Experts.

Why choose the Ray White Mian Group?

LOOK LOCAL T

he recently-delivered 2022-23 City Budget commits around $400 million to be spent on local businesses.

Our council procurement policy is about supporting locals. Local jobs, local services and local goods.

I encourage all residents and businesses to “look local’’ when it comes to supporting our economy.

Our 71,000 registered small businesses have done it tough for two years and sadly, we have lost some great commercial enterprises through the ravages of Covid.

Supporting small businesses has such a flow-on effect for families, staff and our city in general.

If everyone can just take a few seconds to think about the purchases they make and adopt a ‘buy local’ mentality wherever possible, it will mean hundreds of millions of extra dollars through our local economy.

EDITORIAL & ADVERTISING ENQUIRIES Ben Ryan 0432 545 995 ben@advcollab.com.au

Supporting locals can start at one of dozens of weekend markets and continue all the way through to booking a local family holiday at a resort.

So often I hear locals say “I haven’t ever tried that’’ when it comes to a broad water boat experience, nature trail tour or even a beachside sky dive.

Now is the time to make that choice and the best part is, you’ll put a smile on the face of a local and help keep others employed.

One thing I know is that Gold Coasters stick together so let’s all do the right thing and ‘buy local’.

The Lexus LX introduces qualities that represent the next chapter of Lexus, from its powerful design to new powertrains, advanced technologies and superb performance, whether driving in the city or on the harshest roughroad routes.

Two new engines - twin-turbocharged petrol LX 600 and diesel LX 500d V6 units - are smaller in capacity than the model’s previous V8s, yet deliver significantly more power, higher torque and improved fuel economy.

A Lexus first - PHEV (Plug-In Electric Vehicle)

As the first full model change in 14 years, the allnew LX debuts F-Sport and range-topping Ultra Luxury grade as well as seating for four, five or seven, depending on the grade.

The first-ever Lexus LX 600 Ultra Luxury

The all-new flagship LX 600 Ultra Luxury has four independent seats providing supreme comfort for all occupants.

Rear-seat comfort is assured with a pair of individual captain’s chairs with 48-degree reclining, massage function, deluxe headrests, a passenger-side ottoman, and exclusive quilted upholstery offered in Black and new Sunflare.

Overseas model shown.

A unique rear centre console incorporates a touchscreen display for seat and air-conditioning controls, wireless smartphone charger, two USB-C ports and additional storage space for a luxurious chauffeur-driven experience.

Overseas model shown.

An unsurpassed ownership experience continues with a three-year membership to the leading Lexus Encore Platinum owner benefits program - including the pioneering Lexus on Demand, where members can borrow another Lexus to suit their needs or when travelling interstate or to New Zealand on four occasions, for up to eight days. Members are also provided with eight valet parking passes to use at select Westfield shopping centres

Pictured left-right: LX 500d F-Sport, LX 500d Sports Luxury, LX 600 Ultra Luxury

Natural AntiAgeing Secrets from the Naturopath 5 TIPS TO SUPPORT HEALTHY AGEING

A

lthough ageing is inevitable and something we should embrace, taking a holistic approach and focusing on overall wellbeing can positively influence the ageing processes.

LOAD UP ON ANTIOXIDANTS Filling your plate with loads of colourful fruits and vegetables helps to fill your diet with an abundance of antioxidants. Think dark leafy greens, deep red tomatoes, blueberries, and carrots. These guys help to stop free radicals which are harmful molecules that cause damage to our healthy cells and in turn, our skin.

MANAGE YOUR STRESS Chronic stress wreaks havoc on the mind and body and left unchecked can accelerate the ageing process. Stress has been linked with several chronic health conditions including Alzheimer’s, heart disease and depression. Luckily, there are lots of great tools to help manage our stress including high-quality B vitamins, magnesium and Ashwagandha.

BOOST YOUR COLLAGEN Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins in the body. It provides structure to our skin, bones, joints, and organs.

Unfortunately, as we age our body’s production of collagen naturally declines, leading to visible signs of ageing. Luckily, with the right collagen supplement we can help diminish accelerated signs of ageing.

GET YOUR BEAUTY SLEEP Sleep is like a fountain of youth that we dive into each night. It’s a regenerative process that detoxifies the body and cleans and repair cells, including the skin. Regular sleep deprivation can lead to wrinkles, sagging skin, and dark circles. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night!

HYDRATE, HYDRATE, HYDRATE! With our bodies being made up of 70% of water, it’s no shock our cells need water to survive and thrive. Adequate water intake helps to remove and excrete metabolic wastes and helps to hydrate and plump skin cells making them look more youthful. Add a splash of fresh lemon juice or a sprig of mint!

Welcome to the less-is-mortgage.

It happens. One day you wake up and there’s a credit card debt, a car loan and two maxed out store cards.

And while it can easily get out of control, it’s just as easy to make your debts manageable again.

Consolidating all your debts into your mortgage means a lower interest rate and a single repayment every month. So you’ll not only pay less, you’ll worry less too.

To find out whether you could benefit from bundling all your debts into a single lower-rate loan, give me a call today. It’s stress-free, obligation-free - and could be one of the best investments you ever make.

Contact me today for a no obligation review of your finances.
