FACTS & FIGURES DO YOUR RESEARCH There are so many reasons to stay informed about property statistics. They not only give you a better understanding of the market and current market trends, but also show us previous trends and how th e market has changed. This can help predict trends, and might even sway you between buying in one suburb to the next. Don’t be fooled – statistics aren’t just for those looking to buy. Sellers should be aware of what is currently being seen in their area a nd property ty pe bracket.
Something really impo rtant to note [Future Sellers – we’re looking at you] is the ‘House / Unit / Land Sale by Price’ data for the suburb and area that your property falls in to. Let’s take a look 80 60 40 20 0
Number of House Sales (12 months) Grafton
We provide this data to buyers and sellers to help them make an informed decision about buying and selling.
Over the last twelve months, in the area designated as ‘Grafton’, 63 pro perties have sold with a price of between $251,000.00 and $300,000.00. To look at a comparison, only 1 property was sold with a price between $501,000.00 and $600,000.00.
Looking at stat istics is a good way to rule out subjectivity. You may have ideas of a certain area or suburb with having an implied median property value, or know of coming changes to infrastructure that will sway your emotional value to the area. Looking at statistics m eans we can ‘quantify’ the potential of a location. We can easily compare differences between areas – if suburb ‘A’ has a yield of 4.25% and suburb ‘B’ has a yield of 4.35% we can’t assum e too much about their differences as they’re both very similar.
Elders Grafton – Monthly Digest | 4
There is definitely still a pla ce for ‘fundies’ or the fundamental drivers of an area, as well as non-quantifiable figures like subjective elements and bias – as long as we view them with the understanding of what they are. We can’t know for sure the effects of certain things - such as a lack of development in suburb ‘B’ and how it will affect suburb ‘A’ – this is where the balance of all of our gathered informatio n comes in to play.
Before making a decision to buy or sell real estate, consumers should be familiar with the market statistics that are specific to the area in which they are considering buying or selling.
For this article however, statistics are our focus.

SOUTH SIDE
RYAN CREED (AND JAZ GRADY)
I’d first like to acknowledge the Gumbaynggirr People, the traditional custodians of this area. I’ve lived in Grafton for my entire life I have grown up with the North vs South mentality, and have experienced living on both sides of the bridge. I for one believe that the South has an even richer history than the North, is more culturally diverse and has far more personality. I wanted to share some history of the South with you to help share my love of this district. The landscape of the area that South Grafton now sits was once filled with dense rainforest and cedar bush, with salt marsh and swamps on waterlogged areas. The desirable geographical location of South Grafton and Grafton had created and contained multiple food sources, an abundance of cedar and accessible ports. The Clarence Valley has three Aboriginal Nations that all meet on the Clarence – Bundjalung, Yaegl and Gumbaynggirr. By the 1880s, South Grafton was developing momentum. The list of businesses and buildings in South Grafton already included three wharfs with stores, one standalone wharf, nine hotels, sixteen shops, six stores, one bank, four smithies, one bakehouse and a telegraph office. There are several key names in the construction of the South Grafton we see today - physically, industrially and socially – McKittrick, Schafer and Hawthorne being three of these. You will see these names on McKittrick Park, The New School of Arts and Hawthorne Park. The change in terminal location for the new Railway system from South Grafton to North Grafton didn’t seem to dampen the bright future beckoning at the time, with many new businesses opening and residential construction across the municipality. The Grafton station went ahead, and it wasn’t until the 1st of October 1976 that South Grafton became the city's main railway station, and it wasn’t until 2005 that the South Grafton station has been known again as Grafton Station.

BRIDGING THE GAP After a fire destroyed South Grafton’s iconic ‘City Stores’ in 1899, J T McKittrick rebuilt to the design of F W C Schaeffer, and this new store which still stands today was claimed to have been the first building in Grafton to be lit by electric incandescent lamps. This main ‘City Stores’ was flanked with a branch in Prince Street, as well branch stores in Coffs Harbour, Coramba and Bucca Creek. The main two blocks of Skinner Street today boasts 19 of its some 42 buildings as heritage listings, which is a stand out 55% listed as heritage status.
The heritage listings in South Grafton not only pertain to those buildings with a historical significance, but also some trees and structures within the main streets and surrounds. Bent Street to Ryan Street to Minden Street is currently listed as a ‘Conservation Area’ on the Clarence Valley Council heritage map.
South Grafton is of high cultural importance to the Aboriginal community living on the south of the river, and has many significant Cultural Heritage areas.
This Urban Conservation Area includes the river banks within the boundary, as well as commercial Skinner Street. With a paced growth rate within the area, South Grafton has retained its spacious low scale form of development. In July 1897, the Sydney Botanic Gardens sent 100 trees and 100 shrubs dispatched in August 1898 to South Grafton Council. In May 1905, the Council received 20 camphor laurel and 10 E l d e r s G r a f t o n – M o n t h l y D i g e s t | 14 pepper trees from the Sydney Botanic Gardens for planting in streets and parks.

The commercial boom in South Grafton continued in to the 1900’s, and many of the buildings that create the historic patina of the commercial core we see today are the remnants of this time. With an eclectic mix of heritage and cultural heritage, there is so much on offer on the south side of the amazing Clarence River. South Grafton is where I call home. Let’s grab a coffee and chat. If you’re looking to sell or buy in the South Grafton area, let me tell you all the reasons why I love - and truly believe in - this area.

I’m not sure whether it’s memories of yesteryear or the fact it’s a real estate hot spot, but Westlawn has definitely been an area I consider A1 when it comes to investing. As a child I didn’t actually live in Westlawn. My raising was in the strip between Westlawn and Dovedale that perhaps has no particular name. Bowtell Avenue was my childhood street - the medium strip between these well-defined area’s areas.
I’m very grateful for my memories of Westlawn, and the fact that my grandparents owned a humble 2 bedroom fibro home at the end of Oliver Street for the entirety of their married life. I remember walks in their gardens and Pa polishing his very best shoes for our small Sunday church gatherings held at the Westlawn Preschool.
E l d e r s G r a f t o n – M o n t h l y D i g e s t | 16
We would play in the park on the corner of Cranworth and Oliver Streets, and it would be exciting to watch the horses on those busy race days as we played.
As I grew, so did the memories of the area. Back in the day of no mobile phones, my friends and I would ride our bikes around Westlawn visiting the corner stores with whatever money we could accumulate for some sugar treats.
In fact, when I was very young, my mother worked at Peters’ Ice-cream factory at the end of Fry Street (right near the railway tracks) up until its closure in 1983.
The building is beautiful and has now been acknowledged by council for its historic significance.

Years later (in my tweens) came the interest in sports, and whilst the ten pin bowling alley was (and still is) always loads of fun, my friends and I took great pleasure in the sport of basketball. On Friday nights we would be dropped off for a couple of hours to watch the Mighty Vikings run the court. My friends and I would spend many afternoons just shooting hoops out at Westlawn.
This was a time when Reeboks were huge – literally. The bulkier the shoe the better! Post tweens was all about the Big River Squash and Fitness Centre. Again, I would ride my push bike out to do classes – In fact I think this was around the time that step aerobics was born. I have many fond memories of squash games with my brother. He too was a lover of sport and I enjoyed watching him play football once or twice at Frank McGuren Park.
E l d e r s G r a f t o n – M o n t h l y D i g e s t | 18
Fast forward to today as a mother of 3 beautiful children, and my love of Westlawn continues. Whilst we have many fabulous schools in our region, Westlawn Public School’s ongoing positive reputation has always stood out to me, and given the fact that I have invested in the area, it was clearly the school of choice for my kids.
From the perspective of real estate, I believe Westlawn to be a fantastic place to invest - and many of my clients with multiple holdings will swear by the same.
Family friendly, affordable and obviously suited to the growing family; It’s an area with heart, history, and a trusted platform for memories to be made.

SHANNON CREEK DAM TERRY DEEFHOLTS
Situated some 20 kilometres south west of Grafton the Shannon Creek Dam (pictured) is a major feature of the Clarence Valley/Coffs Harbour water supply strategy. Drawing its supply from the pristine Nymboida and Orara river systems, the 30 000 mega litre dam took two and a half years to build from 2006-2008. The project faced some environmental opposition on its way to construction and the Clarence Environment Centre remains concerned about the ongoing threat to species in the catchment. But from a water supply perspective the development has been described as a benchmark.
E l d e r s G r a f t o n – M o n t h l y D i g e s t | 20
The search for a reliable regional water source began in 1995 when the former Lower Clarence County Council, later trading as North Coast Water was expanded to become the regional water supply authority. The project brought together co-operation between local and state governing bodies. An 87 kilometre pipeline network was installed linking the region to the dam. 1.3 million cubic metres of compacted fill went into building the embankment wall which is 47 metres high and 400 metres wide. The $180 million project added significantly to the local economy with the nearby Coutts Crossing General Store and Coutts Tavern seeing a boost to the tills. The Nymboida River has supplied the Clarence Valley with water for nearly 100 years and when the Shannon Creek dam is at full capacity, extraction from the river will cease during dry periods so as to maintain environmental flows.
Editor’s Note: the Shannon Creek Dam is only accessible to the public from Thursday – Sunday, hence the photo of Terry at the front gate!

The hardwood timber framed weatherboard cottage with polished floorboards throughout offers 2 good sized bedrooms, a study/smaller bedroom, an enclosed sunroom, enclosed veranda, bathroom, separate toilet, laundry and a living room alongside the kitchen.

Lot 165 Orara Way LANITZA With enough water to re-float the Titanic - everything about this property is big - just like this opportunity. Nearly 2000 acres of mostly bushland (formerly a citrus farm), 2km of Orara River frontage, 3km of Quayarigo Creek dual frontage and a 320 megalitre dam and a large sand mine. There is enough water for just about any farming enterprise. Some 350 acres of this parcel was previously cleared land, all with an elevation of generally between 60 and 70 metres above sea level. Located nearly in the middle of two major centres Grafton and Coffs Harbour - on sealed road, the opportunity for a serious farm is massive. Or alternatively, the option to subdivide into five smaller blocks which has been conditionally approved by council may interest the keen buyer.
Past water licences have lapsed but has potential to be re-established. Power is at the sealed road frontage. Blueberry growers are encouraged to inspect.
