First Home Owner’s Grant fails to help regional Qld The Queensland Government’s First Home Owner grant, which was recently boosted from $15,000 to $20,000, has provided limited support where it is needed most – regional Queensland’s established housing market.

REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella said while the grant was welcome as a tool to help first-home buyers get into the market, it did not deliver help where it was needed most – to the established housing market of regional Queensland.

“Areas in regional Queensland, such as South Mackay and Blacks Beach have lost 30 per cent off the value of property over five years, according to the REIQ Queensland Market Monitor June report.

“These markets have a surplus of housing, established homes, and there is no need to build more housing – but to qualify for the Government’s grant home owners are forced to build.

“This is grossly inefficient and is damaging to our regional markets,” Ms Mercorella said.

“In regional Queensland, it’s like handing a drowning man a glass of water,” she said.

The solution to the problem is simple, Ms Mercorella said.

“Let’s simply broaden the grant to include established homes. First-home buyers in regional Queensland face the same pressures of saving up for a deposit that purchasers in the southeast corner face, so let’s help them get into the market with a $20,000 grant and help the residential property market at the same time,” she said.

“This is governing for the whole state, and

not just for the construction industry,” she said.

From its introduction in 2012 until June 30, 2016, only 4,284 grants were accessed in regional Queensland – just 1071 grants a year.

“This is not a scheme that is working for regional Queensland, and it’s so frustrating because the fix is so simple,” Ms Mercorella said.

Prepare your home for a hot sale this summer Spring and summer are the most popular months to sell a home and First National Real Estate Bribie Island has some advice on how to make your home the hot item this summer.

According to Lyn Petrohilos Principal, First National Real Estate Bribie Island homebuyers thoughts will naturally turn to patios, outdoor entertaining areas, landscaping, air conditioning and pools during the warmer months.

“First impressions are critical and nothing is more off-putting to a buyer than entering a stuffy, hot house on a 30-degree day, which is why it’s important to make your home summer-friendly.”

“With sunny days and gorgeous blue skies, everything is on display. Flowers will be in full bloom, trees will be fully leaved and yards should be kept as tidy as possible.”

Real Estate and Trade Services islandandsurrounds.com.au October 26 2016 - Issue 07

can to let in the fresh breeze and keep windows clean.”

The key area of a property during summer is the back yard, where buyers will envisage an area for the kids and a space to entertain.

“Australian’s love their barbecues in summer and can’t go past a good functioning back yard. Make sure the barbecue is in clean and looks to be in good condition, ensure the lawn is always mowed and presentable, and the landscaping is tidy with beautiful healthy plants that have been well-watered in the days leading up to any inspections”.

“On the day of the inspection, give plants a light spray of water for a clean crisp look if water restrictions are not in force in your area.”

Home owners should consider hiring or borrowing some plants, especially leading up to the front door.

For those with a pool or spa, be sure to keep them sparkling clean and leaf-free from crystal clear water to clean tiles at the top and bottom of the pool. Make sure any pool equipment is neatly stored away.

Walking through the front door, homeowners should assess the first impressions created and position furniture so that rooms have an ‘open’ feel. Place fresh flowers in vases and pictures on the wall to give the property extra vibrancy.

“Don’t forget the fence, gate, paths and decks. These should be thoroughly cleaned of dirt and any cobwebs and free of peeling paint,”

Remove any clutter, and while family photos are great, limit them to no more than three.

- Schedule inspections for a time during the day when rooms are bright and have maximum sunlight shining in, but preferably not the hottest part of the day.

Be sure to have the kitchen and bathroom spotless and any used towels replaced with clean ones.

Most importantly, ensure any items requiring maintenance have been taken care of such as door handles, torn fly screens, broken window latches, light switches, light shades, leaking taps, doors opening and closing properly and clean carpets.

“If you have air conditioning, make sure it is in good working order and put it on when you are expecting potential buyers to be coming through,” “If you don’t have air conditioning, make sure you open as many windows as you

Other tips for selling a property in the summer are:

- When having an open house, limit the number of people in the property at any one time. Too many people may make it appear smaller than it really is and reduce the viewer’s potential to see the possibilities of the property.

- Keep pets out of the property during inspections and music at a minimum.

- Get rid of unsightly garden rubbish, which detracts from the appeal of your garden. This goes for the garage, old sheds and any outbuildings.

Tips for negotiating property prices

• establish why the owners are selling to determine their priorities

Selling or buying a property represents one of the biggest financial transactions most people will undertake, and achieving the right price can be one of the hardest and most stressful things to do. First national real estate bribie island principal, lyn petrohilos says the number one tip when negotiating is to do it quickly.

• when offering less than the asking price, make contract conditions attractive to The seller (eg agree to seller’s settlement time, have finance approval in place if Possible, consider releasing the deposit etc)

“Whether you are buying or selling a property, a protracted, drawn out negotiation process can cost thousands in the wash up,” lyn said.

“The buyer can get frustrated and decide to seek greener pastures elsewhere, or the seller may decide to go with a better offer that comes along.

“Either way, it is in no-one’s interest to draw out negotiations. Everyone ends up a winner if agreement is reached in a speedy fashion.”

For buyers, a successful negotiation starts with an offer in writing first.

“Written offers are a sign of a stronger commitment by the purchaser to the property, and are harder for the vendor to disregard,” “This commitment, evidenced by an actual contract, may be more attractive to the seller than other more lucrative offers.”

Lyn said one of the most effective negotiation tools for sellers is the services of an experienced and reputable real estate agent who has strong local industry knowledge.

“The selected agent needs to be capable, have strong negotiation skills, but importantly be someone you are comfortable with,” “Look at how many sales they have made and what sort of skills they possess to maximise the price of your property.”

Negotiation tips for buyers: • make sure you do your homework in advance of any offer

• make offers as realistic as possible – there is not always a lot of room for Movement on price so unrealistic offers may only discredit your intentions

• be prepared to pay a little bit more for a good property in a good area • put offers in writing so the seller can see your serious intent • be clear on any timeframes around your offer eg set a timeline for the owner to Provide an answer, if they are indecisive • a good deposit, can help tip the scales in your favour

Negotiation tips for sellers: • be realistic – set your price based on fact, rather than emotion • request a written offer to see how serious the buyer is • don’t waste time acting on the offer – a bird in the hand is worth two in the Bush – don’t run the risk of losing the buyer, it may take a while to find another One • be willing to compromise, particularly on small matters and consider ways to give Them a sense of value which may lead to a better sale price for you • look at all the conditions of the buyer’s offer, not just the price • seek advice from those qualified to give it, rather than from family and friends.

• employ the services of an experienced real estate agent who is capable of Negotiating a good deal for you

Problems, if the rent is not paid on time (rent arrears), the shortage of funds is juggled, mortgages and rates are paid first, maintenance waits, the property’s standard drops, disillusioned owner sells, less good rental properties, rents rise.

Unsuspecting tenants also be aware, 2 days or a week behind in rent or innocently not allowing time for bank transfers, equals rent arrears. An inconsistent ledger will weaken any future rental applications and can even affect your credit history when buying, in this digital age, past rent ledgers do not lie.

My Personal Property Manager, for the good of all, does not tolerate rental arrears and is proud to say at the end of every financial year, our trust account shows zero percent (0%) absolutely no rent arrears.

How do late rent payments affect you?

Residential Property Investor or Tenant, what came first, the chicken or the egg?

We leave our parents nest, spread our wings, we soon learn the importance of a roof to sleep under and store our belongings. As I have witnessed over the past half century it has been rare for any of us to be able to buy our first roof and must rent initially.

Over time, with some luck, hard work and the correct life decisions fortunately in Australia almost anyone can buy a home in which to live, then even an investment property as superannuation if we choose. I believe having an investment property is similar to having a job where you supply the tools and receive casual pay, usually the costs exceed the income (negative gearing).
