Brenda Mitchell Your Agent
A recent survey of some 300 plus buyers has delivered some interesting insights into how we go about buying our homes. Not surprisingly, 59% of the respondents said that they initially fell in love with a home purely based on its location. For those who responded in favour of location, 40% wanted easy access to transport options and infrastructure, 29% wanted convenient access to shopping and local amenities and 16% fell in love with the location because it meant living close to family and friends. Most of the locals, and those aspiring to become one, that I meet agree that moving into this great part of the world means a truly rewarding and relaxing lifestyle. From the sheer livability of what is on offer in terms of local amenities, places to visit and things to do, through to a kaleidoscope of places to eat, dine and entertain we have it all on offer and it will only get better. With the billions of dollars being pledged or invested into upgrading infrastructure throughout the greater local Gold Coast area we continue to be an attractive place to call home and local upgrades and changes will certainly influence the decisions of many buyers. But what does that mean for you if you are trying to buy or sell? If you would like some down to earth advice on how to best navigate our local real estate market or to learn how these changes could impact you and your home, then please feel free to give me a call at any time.
