REIV seeking ‘budget relief’ for purchasers Triple century: Glynn Sadler settles into Leopold’s Estuary estate.
300th buyer moves into Estuary home LEOPOLD’S Estuary Estate celebrated a milestone achievement this month confirming its 300th purchaser in less than two years. Buyer Glynn Sadler said Estuary’s “lifestyle factors” convinced him to buy into the
estate. “My fiancé and I made the decision last year to build a new home together, so we began our search for land that was close to a railway station, carefully planned out and with an appealing outlook,” Mr
Sadler said. “It’s important to feel part of a community. Being able to watch your new home take shape and to share that experience with your fellow neighbours gives you a sense of belonging.”
VICTORIA’S real estate institute has called on State Government to provide a relief for home buyers paying residential property taxes “higher than ever before”, according to an industry chief. Real Estate Institute of Victoria’s Enzo Raimondo said he had presented State Government with a 2011/2012 budget submission calling for a reduction in property taxes, increased assistance for first-home buyers and improvements to land tax. Mr Raimondo said decreased affordability had hit Victorian home buyers hard. “Residential property
taxes are higher than ever before and higher than in any other state,” he said. “Home buyers pay the highest stamp duty, property investors can be taxed twice and businesses investing in property are often charged taxes on taxes in the form of stamp duty on GST.” Mr Raimondo said State Government had “an opportunity” to improve Victoria’s property taxes in the 2011/2012 budget. “REIV research shows that first-home buyers require continuing assistance. In February the government assisted 2153 with grants – that’s 131 per cent cut in stamp duty promised before the election and due to be
applicable from July 1. “It is also timely to review land tax, particularly the tax on tax component.” Mr Raimondo said in the past 11 years many commercial and industrial property purchasers were forced to pay stamp duty on “not only the actual property but also on the GST”. “This represents an extra $10,000 on a transaction valued at $2 million. “Twenty years ago stamp duty represented about 3.4 percent of the purchase of a median-priced home, 10 years ago it was 4.5 per cent and now it is 5.2 per cent. “Stamp duty rates should be indexed to account for inflation.”

Achievable Porter Davis Homes P orter Davis Homes is the ideal choice of builder for buyers wanting a sea change lifestyle on the region’s stunning coastline. The award-winning company has been building in the Geelong region for more than two years and just opened a stunning new display centre at Estuary Estate in Leopold. Porter Davis properties suit a variety of budgets and lifestyles, with house and land packages available from $350,964. Porter Davis director Paul Wolff says the affordable pricing makes a new home or beach house “suddenly seem a lot more achievable”. “Usually when you think of a new home or a beach house, dollar signs sort of come to mind as well,” he says. “We are offering beautiful homes right in the heart of the Victorian coastal wonderland and they are very affordably priced.” Paul encourages potential buyers
to visit one of Porter Davis’ four new display homes at Estuary Estate, including Regatta and Livingstone from the Access range and Wembley and Foxley from the Lifestyle range. “These homes are stunning, there’s no doubt about it, but they are also more affordable than they were this time last year because we’ve rolled out a price rewind across our entire range.” Paul says a “Porter Davis price rewind” has reduced house and land packages by as much as $42,000. “As Australia’s most professional builder we take our role very seriously in leading the market by example and we wanted to do everything possible to help address housing affordability. Paul says the Porter Davis promotional campaign is simplified to make comparing values easier. “There are a lot of builders out there offering a lot of different promotions and value-add ons,” he says. “At the end of the day, you want
to choose the builder because they are good to deal with, build quality homes and can offer you a design that you love because it enhances your lifestyle. “These things should be the comparison, not the value of the promotion, because they will ensure you have a great building experience and a fantastic new home. “Unfortunately, a lot of builders muddle the promotion with the base price and confuse buyers with a perception of inflated value.” Porter Davis Simplicity offers a wide range of luxury upgrades at no cost. Buyers also receive $10,000 off total site costs and estate covenants, Paul says. House and land packages are available through Porter Davis at Estuary Estate from $350,964 or $324,464 for first-home buyers who qualify for the government’s $26,500 First Home Owner Grant.

Bayside vision will become a reality A
vision of quiet, tree-lined streets and landscaped parks and gardens became reality this month as work started on Drysdale’s newest bayside community. Curlewis Parks estate manager Brett Thompson says the estate will soon become “one of the most sought-after lifestyle addresses on the Bellarine Peninsula”. The $83 million master planned residential and lifestyle community offers about 550 homes set among rolling open green spaces with easy access to the bay foreshore. Allotment buyers will enjoy the convenience of the shops and cafes in Drysdale and just 18 kilometres from central
Geelong “The demand for our estate has been phenomenal, with over 100 sales from our first three stages,” Brett says. “We have just released stage four with a mix of blocks starting at $149,000 and some directly opposite the architecturallydesigned Hermsley Park starting at $152,000.” Brett says the strong sales result and continuing demand for land at Curlewis Parks proves purchasers do recognise the “wonderful lifestyle opportunities” and investment potential of the estate. He encourages potential buyers to contact 0425 869 940 or visit info@curlewisparks.com.au for more information.
