October/2018

Help your property stand out from the crowd during the spring selling season. Written by: Lance Skelton

All of a sudden, the sun is shining, the bees are buzzing, and serious home buyers are out there looking at properties. It happens every spring. As soon as the warmer weather kicks in, there’s an influx of new home buyers who come out of the woodwork. In the real estate industry, they call this time of year ‘the spring selling season’. In fact, this spring is shaping up to be quite spectacular for the local market. In case you’ve been living on another planet for the last 12 months or so, Hobart property prices are powering along, and lead the nation for growth. Home

prices in Hobart increased by a whopping 12.7% over the 12 months to June, while rents have risen 10.7%. Then there’s the performance of Launceston, which in 2017 had the best year in the last decade in terms of properties sold. From being in the doldrums for decades, property in Tasmania is now entering a golden period, and if you’re thinking of selling your property, you’re likely to find plenty of interested buyers.

How to stand out from the crowd. While you may think your home is special – after all, you bought the

property – you need to remember that your home is competing with every other home on the market. To maximise the appeal and marketability of your home, there’s a few simple low cost ideas that you can do over a couple of weekends that can add tens of thousands of dollars to the value of your property. OK, let’s start with the outside of your home, which is the first thing people will see when they turn up to inspect your property.

Street appeal. First impressions are important. So make sure your front lawn is mowed, the gardens are tidy,

the edges are done, and remove anything that might be lying around, such as bikes, cricket bats or garden tools. For the finishing touch, weed the garden beds before adding some fresh mulch.

Windows and gutters. While windows and gutters are not the sort of thing home buyers are focussed on, they can become a negative if they’re not maintained. So grab a hose, and wash the windows from the outside. This will remove the dirt, grime and ugly spider webs. Then, simply go over each window with a cleaning product and wipe clean. Take a look at the gutters. If you have a build up of leaves, or perhaps

even grass seeds growing up from the accumulation of mud, then it should be removed if it’s safe to do so.

Front Door and patio area. For a burst of colour, think about dropping some flowering plants into pots or hanging baskets. At the very least, make sure the area is clean. So sweep up the leaves, give the doormat a good couple of thumps to get rid of the dirt, and get rid of anything that might make the area unsightly. Now for the inside.

Air out your home. Your home has probably been closed up a lot over the winter period, so now’s the time to open the windows, and get some fresh air circulating throughout the rooms to clear out any stuffiness and odours.

Remove any mould spots. Look for mould on ceilings, walls and window frames that might have crept up in winter. These spots can usually be removed by applying a white-vinegar solution that will kill the mould.

Declutter. As a geneal rule, if you haven’t used a household item that’s been in your cupboards, kitchen drawers, kitchen pantry, attic, or garage for two years, then chances are you’re never going to use it. Cluttered homes look ugly, and detract enormously on the impact of the home when it’s being viewed. So grab some garbage bags and cardboard boxes, and remove these items. You can either give it to a charity like the Salvos if it’s any good, try selling it on Gumtree, or just get rid of it at the local tip. If you find this task

too difficult, then there are people who’ll come in and do the job for you. They’re called ‘declutters’ and they do a fantastic job.

Clean or replace flooring. If you have carpet in your home, then it should be shampooed and treated for stains. Any flooring that is stained, damaged or worn beyond repair should be removed and replaced.

Neutral colour paint. You may like the bold colours that you’ve chosen for the inside of your home, but there’s a good chance most people won’t. To appeal to the largest possible audience, the colour of your inside walls and ceiling should be a neutral colour. Again, your local hardware store can help you with the paint selection if you’re not sure.

Kitchens and Bathrooms. These are both high traffic areas of the home, and will definitely be one of the areas that will be looked at carefully by potential

homebuyers. Often these areas of the home can be ‘deal-breakers’. At the risk of stating the obvious, make sure it’s clean. (and this means everywhere, including the toilet bowl). Depending on your budget, you may even think about a kitchen or bathroom makeover if these areas of the home are looking particularly dated.

On the day of the Open Home. Potential homebuyers can feel uncomfortable when they’re inspecting a home and the home owner is present. Leave all this to your sales agent, unless of course you’re selling the property yourself. Even then, make sure you’re not following people around, it’s kind of creepy. Your home should be as light and airy as possible. So unless you’re looking out onto a sewage treatment works, pull back the blinds and curtains in all the rooms and let the light in. This can also create the illusion of space. Round up all personal photos and weird souvenirs you’ve collected

over the years, and store them somewhere while you’re home is open. Homebuyers want to imagine living in the home, so the more you can give them a blank canvas the better.

Setting the price. This is one of the trickiest aspects of selling a property. Most people think their home is worth more than what it really is. It’s human nature). Your sales agent can help you with this by showing recent sales evidence of similar properties in your area. Of course, if your property has a special feature, such as an outdoor spa, a swimming pool, a granny flat, a water view, a new kitchen, then this can help to achieve an above average price for the property. One of the biggest mistakes sellers can make is setting an unrealistic price to begin with. If it’s too high, then the property will languish on the market for months on end, whereas an attractive well-priced property will sell more quickly, and enable you to get on with the next exciting stage of your life.

Tired of buying tomatoes that taste like mushy cardboard? Then start your own veggie patch. Written by: Lance Skelton

Why does everything look so fresh and tasty in the vegetable section of the supermarket, only to taste so bland and disappointing when you eat them a few days later. Shopping at the supermarket for vegetables is convenient, but that’s about it. The big difference with home grown vegetables is that you know the history; where they’re grown, how they’re grown, when they’re harvested, and by whom. The last point is important – the ‘whom’ is you. If you’ve never grown veggies before, or you’re tired of buying tomatoes that taste like mushy cardboard, then this spring is the perfect time to start planting, and to reconnect with Mother Nature.

You’ll need good soil, and plenty of sunlight. Like so many things in life, preparation is the key for achieving the best results. If you’re not sure about the condition of your soil, then you may wish to buy an easy to assemble veggie patch kit from your local hardware store or nursery, which is raised above the ground, and then you add in the soil. Or if you have less space, then you might think about buying some garden pots. Either way, vegetables do best in moist, well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter, such as compost or peat moss. If you’re in any doubt as to what type of soil you’ll need, talk with one of the helpful staff

at your local nursery or hardware store, and they’ll point you in the right direction. Along with good quality soil, you’ll need to find somewhere that gets direct sunlight for a fair portion of the day. Also, if there’s some protection from the wind then that will help as well. Tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, peas, beans, corn and squash benefit from being grown in areas with full sun. Carrots, radishes, beets and other root vegetables require at least half a day of sun to thrive. Leafy greens such as spinach, chard, kale and the many varieties of lettuce tolerate the most shade in the garden.

Now is the perfect time to plant vegetables. Unlike most parts of Australia, Tasmania is blessed with clean air, fertile soil, reliable rainfall, and a temperate climate. It’s also free of many pests and diseases that exist on the mainland. Now that the glorious spring weather has started to kick in across Tassie, it’s the perfect time to be planting your vegetables. What’s more, it’s a fun thing to do.

October. October is a terrific time to be planting potatoes, globe artichoke and chives. You can also drop in seedlings of cabbage, cauliflower,

celery, broccoli, lettuce, spring onion and leek. Just remember to follow the instructions as to how far apart each seedling should be when you’re planting, and allow enough room for growth. It’s also a good idea to stick into the soil the plastic marker that tells you which vegetable you’ve planted, in case you forget. Towards the end of October, and depending on how much room you have in your veggie patch, you can also drop in seedlings of tomato, zucchini, pumpkin, squash, sweet corn and climbing beans. One cherry tomato plant can produce over 200 juicy little tomatoes and can be ready to harvest in around 65 to 70 days.

Not a lot is the short answer, especially when you consider the sheer joy that comes with growing your own vegetables. It really depends on the size you’re thinking. You’ll find raised vegetable patch kits from around $100 at your local hardware store or nursery. Add another $80 for a few bags of quality soil, another $50 for seedlings, and another $10 for garden gloves and a small garden trowel, and that’s about it. Provided you keep an eye on your veggies, and make sure they’re watered regularly, then Mother Nature will do the rest.

Do you have an old rosemary bush in your garden that is just about indestructible? For many of us living in Tasmania, this can be the extent of our herb garden, which is a shame when you think of how many wonderful herbs you can grow. This time of year is perfect for planting all sorts of herbs that can be used in salads, sprinkled on pizzas, or added to a variety of chicken, lamb, pork or beef recipes. This includes basil, chives, coriander, dill, mint, oregano, parsley, sage and thyme.

Many of the vegetables that you can plant in October can also be planted in November. It just means a different harvesting time.
