First-home buyers get a double dip HOUSING Industry Association has welcomed State Government’s boost for Victorian first-home buyers after Reserve Bank of Australia this week slugged borrowers with higher monthly mortgage repayments. From July 1 first-home owners will be able to combine the new state grant with an existing federal incentive to reap $20,000 for a newly built home in metropolitan Melbourne or $26,500 for a

new house in regional Victoria. HIA executive director Gil King praised the new incentive but believed that governments still had to do more to improve land supply and housing affordability. “HIA has called for an extension of the state-based boost for first-home buyers and suggested that it be limited to newly-built homes to avoid pushing up house prices,” Mr King said. “The extension will help

maintain jobs in our industry and provide a much needed boost to housing supply by helping more first-home buyers build their dream home.” Mr King called on State Government to slash stamp duty and property taxes. “Home buyers pay more stamp duty in Victoria than any other state,”he pointed out. “These taxes make up an unfair and disproportionate level of state revenue. “The Government needs to

stop the multiple charging of stamp duty.” Meanwhile, the Reserve Bank of Australia lifted interest rates on Tuesday by .25 per cent. Banks began passing on the increase immediately, sending repayments on an average $300,000 loan up by $62.50 a month. The reserve’s interest rate hike was the sixth in the past seven months. The Housing Industry

Association’s senior economist, Ben Phillips, said the latest hike would mean further pain for home owners already reeling from earlier rises. He expected the hike to be felt across the housing industry. “The double-whammy of increasing interest rates and a dire housing shortage will combine over 2010 to see housing affordability again reach record lows for both the

home purchase and rental market,” Mr Phillips said. “The housing shortage will only worsen over the next 12 months as the full impact of higher rates filters through.” Aussie loans’ John Symond said the rate rise was a “slap in the face to every Australian”. “Australians are already paying more for petrol, food, housing and now the RBA is making it even harder for families by raising interest rates,” Mr Symond said.

Historic properties back on market TWO HISTORIC local properties with seven-figure price tags are back on the market after failing to sell at auction on the weekend. Mayfield’s Liz Alexander said her vendor’s 1850s property at 126 Kilgour Street, Geelong, had attracted plenty of local interest but failed to attract bidders at Sunday’s auction. “Interested parties” had preferred to negotiate in private after the auction, Ms Alexander said. “We had a very good turn out and plenty of interest in the property but it did get passed in. “We’re now negotiating with several local and interstate parties for a price between $1.2million and $1.3 million.” Ms Alexander expected the property to eventually sell. “We will continue to deal with the interested buyers and

hopefully we’ll have a sale in the next couple of weeks.” Ms Alexander attributed the weekend’s auction results to a local preference for private sales. “I think Geelong doesn’t favor auctions as much as perhaps Melbourne does - it’s not really a part of our psyche,” she said. “With iconic properties like this, interested parties often want to see how the market will speak rather than be forthcoming.” Queenscliff Hotel was the other landmark property that failed to sell when it was passed-in at $4,001,000 on Saturday. Kay and Burton agent Liz Jensen hoped for a sale “in the next couple of days”. “We’re currently dealing with three interested parties,” Ms Jensen said.

newhomes&land New Dennis Family designs on display ome buyers in Geelong seeking modern, spacious family homes can now view the very latest designs with the opening of three new displays from leading family-owned builder Dennis Family Homes. The four-bedroom Brookdale 271 Resort and a stunning four bedroom, three living plus alfresco Charlton 331 Esplanade which are both part of the popular Generations Series are now open for inspection Also on display is a four bedroom and alfresco Harvard 271 Estate from the Aspirations Series. Dennis Family Homes Geelong manager, Phil Shaw, says the homes offer families the best in modern, openplan living, but with multiple living areas so people can enjoy a little extra privacy. “At the heart of all of these homes is a stylish, yet practical design which provides the perfect combination of large open living spaces and private retreats all built with unbeatable construction quality.” The Brookdale 271 is a design which appeals to growing families. A highlight is the positioning of the four bedrooms away from the main living space for extra privacy. For extra flexibility, the Brookdale 271 also includes a study which is just perfect for a home office. The Charlton is a very spacious home with a large open-plan kitchen, meals and living area. This is balanced with

ample separate living spaces so people can spread-out and enjoy their own activities. A highlight of the Charlton is the stunning alfresco area which is accessed from the main living space. “The stylish design of both these homes is matched by the long list of modern finishing touches offered as standard. “A six-star energy rating, stone benchtops in the kitchen, ensuite and bathroom, a glass spashback and stainless steel European appliances in the kitchen, designer vanities in the bathroom and ensuite and a physical barrier termite treatment are some of the features which are included in the standard price of each Generations Series home,” says Mr Shaw. Part of the great-value Aspirations Series, the Harvard has been designed to suit the needs of families. A design highlight is the generous amount of storage space with two walk-in robes in the master bedroom and double door cupboards in each of the other three bedrooms. In the kitchen there is also an over-sized pantry. The three display homes are on display at East Lakes Boulevard at Grand Lakes Estate, Lara. Displays are open Monday to Friday from 1pm to 5pm, Saturday and Sunday midday to 5pm. For more information on Dennis Family Homes call 1800 DENNIS, 5448 5158 or go to www.dennisfamily.com.au.
