Market Snapshot The RBA has cut interest rates yet again this month to a new low of 2.00% in an effort to further stimulate the Australian economy. The housing market remains strong and “inflation is expected to remain consistent with the target over the next one to two years, even with a lower exchange rate” according to RBA Monetary Decision Governor, Glenn Stevens. McGrath Real Estate is very happy to announce that March 2015 was their best sales month on record! Our network boasted an unprecedented 1,281 sales, for a total of $1.46 Billion. John McGrath, Chief Executive of
McGrath Estate Agents, explains that these figures were reflective of the continued strength of the property market. “We are seeing real strength in the auction method across our eastern seaboard network, particularly in the $750,000 to $1.5 million price bracket where we saw an overall clearance rate of 85%,” said McGrath, adding “In terms of the most active buyers in today´s market, upgrading couples/ families and investors continue to dominate.”
Feng Shui Energy and Balance
1
One of the first fundamentals of Feng Shui is to rid your room of clutter. Clutter interrupts the flow of positive energy, so consider storage solutions with clean lines and subdued features. Natural light represents energy and is an important part of Feng Shui. Ensure your space has as much natural light as possible. Dark corners can be brightened with a pale yellow paint to represent sunshine and mirrors will reflect light across the space.
Many people turn to the ancient Chinese art of Feng Shui to help them gain harmony and balance when renovating their home. The main principles are to create positive energy flow and a simple and serene atmosphere.
Placing obstacles by the way of excess furniture in the home displaces the flow of energy and balance. Aim for a clear pathway through your home to encourage a natural flow.
Taoists believe that everything in this world creates energy; either positive or negative. In order to have a harmonious home, it is the creation and flow of positive energy that leads to a balanced and harmonious life.
Regardless of your belief in this ancient art form, the principles of Feng Shui can benefit any home to add light, aspects of nature and clean, simple lines in your home.
