Home prices and rentals mostly steady in Stirling But some areas have shown significant growth from March 2010-2011 DESPITE cautious buying, the real estate market has remained mostly steady in the Stirling area, with significant growth in Trigg, North Beach and Churchlands during the March 2010 to March 2011 year. “It is important to note that these figures in percentage growth are taken from house sales only and these have been compared to the sales figures of the previous full year,” REIWA President Alan Bourke said. “Compared to the preceding 12 months, there has been reasonable growth in the City of Stirling overall, with people still attracted to the area's coastal lifestyle and close proximity to the CBD. “However, not all suburbs in the Stirling region have performed as well as others.”

From March 2010 to March 2011, the median price for a house in Glendalough and Osborne Park actually dropped by 19 per cent and 8 per cent respectively. Mr Bourke said that this was due to each suburb having a larger selling market composed mostly of units, villas and apartments during the 2010 to 2011 period. “Although there has been some retraction in the investors and upgrade buyers market, and a significant dip in growth in the premium market as well, conditions have been positive for first homebuyers, with affordability improving over the past two years.” Mr Bourke said increased wages and lower house prices had seen first-home buyers make up roughly 23 per cent of purchases, with trends towards growth in other markets. “Conditions are now slowly improving for investors, as we are seeing signs of them coming back as prices go down and good stock

enters the market from sellers under pressure to sell,” he said. “Rentals have largely remained steady during the past year, with renters making up roughly 20 per cent of the market.” Principal from Davey Real Estate Scarborough Rob Mason said that despite a sluggish 12 months, confidence was returning to the market. “No doubt the economy is struggling in every sector except for resources, and this has seen an overall lack of confidence from buyers and sellers alike,” he said. “However, we have seen the number of listings explode over the past 12 months with 18,500 listings across Perth metro area, which is well up on previous averages of around 12,000 homes. “There is certainly light at the end of the tunnel, particularly for investors and those looking to upgrade, with prices dropping and interest rates and lenders becoming more competitive.” ■

Our magazine now covers your suburb RESIDENTIAL North has expanded to cover the entire Stirling Times circulation area. The high-gloss magazine will be delivered to more than 42,000 homes in the City of Stirling area (population of over 100,000).

Thanks due to the success that we enjoyed in 2010 we were abe to accomplish out commitment to fund the community eye centre in Rasuwa, Nepal. Helping restore sight to the poor in the underdeveloped regions of the world has always been a dream. The Fred Hollows Foundation eventually want to see Community Eye Centres move to self-sufficiency by generating income through their work, but it takes taim. Being able to successfully sell Real estate and at the same time give somebody else the gift of sight fulfils the Chinese blessing of Double Happiness. Part of Eddy’s earnings in 2011 will be donated the the Fred Hollows Foundation in support of a Community Eye Centre in a remote region, Rasuwa - Nepal. A total of 773 people were examind and treated at the Rasuwa Community Eye Centre and a further 488 people were treated at the satelite clinic at Kalikasthan. 728 people received spectacles and 201 received medications.

Neighbours help create a safe haven Leafy cul-de-sac with friendly people features many spendid homes, writes KEREN BELLOS DUNROSSIL Place is one of Wembley Downs’ most desirable streets and is renowned for its charm. The leafy cul-de-sac is surrounded by big blocks that are at least 900sq m and homes on one side of the road back on to Joe Rice Reserve, giving owners direct access to one of the suburb’s three internal parks. Most of the residences are three or fourbedroom Californian bungalows that have been renovated and extended in the past 10 years. Other street changes include the subdivision of one block, with a further two underway. Wright Real Estate Principal Jeff Wright said families with children were traditionally attracted to Dunrossil Place, with Hale School, Newman College and Churchlands Senior High proving to be major drawcards for the area. Marielle Theberge, her husband and two

sons moved to the street 14 years ago for the sole reason of wanting to live near Hale. They bought their home within days of first seeing it. “The location was so perfect that we couldn’t miss out,” Mrs Theberge said. She described Dunrossil as a quiet, familyoriented street filled with friendly people who supported each other and socialised regularly. “It’s also a very safe street because we all look out for each other. “I know that when I go on holiday, my neighbours will keep an eye on the place. “And if I ever need something, I can knock on any door and know someone will help me.” As a Canadian expat, she said she valued the friendships she has formed with her neighbours. “For us, it’s very important to find a good place to live because we don’t have any family here and our neighbours become our family,” she said. Mrs Theberge told Residential that she liked to support the local community, with the Wembley Downs shopping and medical centres within walking distance. According to Mr Wright, the advantages of living in the suburb included its close proximity to the beach and amenities in Wembley Downs,Woodlands, Karrinyup, Innaloo and Floreat, as well as the choice of using the freeway or western suburbs to enter the city. Mrs Theberge’s youngest son Francis, a member of the Wembley Downs Tennis Club and Wembley Football Club, said Dunrossil’s short distance to Hale had made it easy for him to participate in after-school sporting activities when he was a student. Mr Wright said it was rare for Dunrossil Place homes to be listed on the market, but two were currently for sale – a duplex priced at $799,000, and a home on a duplex block in the $1.3 millions. New double-storey houses in the street could fetch from $1.4 million to $1.6 million, he said. Mrs Theberge said the family would only leave Dunrossil if the need for a lower-maintenance, lock-up-and-leave home arose. ■

Hale School, one of the area’s prime magnets to buyers.

REVIEWS

Masterpiece of modern design The stunning alfresco area has more in common with a luxury hotel than your average back yard, writes COURTNEY NOTTE THROUGHOUT the process of completing renovations and an upward extension, the owner of this singularly opulent home managed to retain the warmth and character of the original residence. Now, the newly double storey home bears all the hallmarks of ultra-modern design, and blends them seamlessly with original features to achieve textural depth and interest, and avoid the stark look of many modern homes. No expense was spared in the construction of the house, which was expanded with family living in mind and now comprises six bedrooms, three bathrooms, a study, several separate living areas such as an impressively equipped games room, and a stunning outdoor area that you will not be able to resist showing off to your friends and family. The location was chosen by the owner for its elevation and eastern aspect, with an inland outlook over the suburb to the city, and it does not disappoint. The upstairs meals area and kitchen (one of two full kitchens in the house) in particular take in a spectacular view of the city lights at night. This main kitchen is the first and best example of how the owner has combined an array of high-end materials such as granite, marble and jarrah, to great effect. Stainless steel is also a prolific feature of the kitchen, in the form

of pot drawers and appliances, including the upright double oven and oversized rangehood. Mixed materials also feature prominently in the bathrooms and powder rooms, with stone vanity units, handbasins and feature wall panels. Similarly lavish fittings and fixtures are what will entice you – and no doubt your guests – outside, to the truly stunning alfresco area. It has more in common with facilities at a luxury hotel than your average back yard, such as a solar heated pool with a waterfall feature, a swim-up bar with drinks on tap and a choice of three covered alfresco areas with heating and built-in barbecues. Further cementing it as the hub of the home is its connection to a games room with the home’s second kitchen. There are also outdoor kitchen facilities to the full-length cedarlined balcony that adjoins the open living areas upstairs. The house comes complete with ducted airconditioning, exquisite karri timber flooring across both levels and a horseshoe driveway with room for a boat or caravan and access to the four-car lock-up garage. The masterpiece of modern architecture is on an 809sq m block and lends itself to outdoor living, whether you favour casual gatherings or formal soirees.

Wealth Creation Seminar

NEWS

Do some basic research when selecting an agent, it should certainly pay dividends in the end THIS week CEO of Limnios Property Group James Limnios shares his tops tips for selecting an agent. 1. KNOWLEDGE OF AREA What is the local market knowledge of the real estate agent? This will determine how accurate they can appraise the home and the number of potential homebuyers they know are wanting to move into the local area. What is the specific sales record of the real estate agent? If the agent has sold a large number of homes then they have a proven track record in the industry. 2. PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE Ask the real estate agent if they can provide you with the names and contact details of at least three previous clients. 3. MARKETING STRATEGY Don’t select the real estate agent promising you the highest selling price for a property. It is the skills and experience of the agent that will help determine the selling price of a property rather than promises being offered. Also discuss with the agent

their home open strategy. Some agents use assistants or colleagues to market the property. This has the ability to maximise the exposure of your property by conducting more frequent home opens. 4. TRACK RECORD What is the specific sales record of the real estate agent? If the real estate agent has sold a large number of homes then they have a proven track record in the real estate industry. 5. PERSONAL PRESENTATION Does the real estate agent professionally present themselves and communicate well? The presentation and communication skills of a real estate agent are vital in selling a property to prospective home buyers. ■

Winter a warm time to sell Fewer homes to compete with, a leading agent tells CARMELLE WILKINSON THE cooler weather could provide a ray of hope for astute property sellers. According to Peard Real Estate Group CEO Peter Peard, winter provides a window of opportunity for those wanting to sell their home. “There tends to be less competition from other homeowners who generally wait until Spring to sell their property,’’ he said. “This is particularly the case in coastal areas with Peard generally recording a jump of over 20 per cent in listings beginning from October in oceanside suburbs such as Mindarie, Illuka, Hillarys, Sorrento and further south in Rockingham and Mandurah. “Another advantage is that potential buyers who are active in the housing market during winter tend to be more committed and focused on purchasing a new home.” Before putting their home on the market in winter, sellers needed to make sure their home was attrac-

“It is also proven that people react more favourably to property shown under bright light than dark, so sellers should maximise the light entering the home. “Such as having home opens around lunch time and opening all drapes and blinds and turning on lights.” Mr Peard said your home should be also be warm and inviting. “If you have heating in your home make sure that it is working during home opens and the air temperature in the home is at a comfortable level,’’ he said. “If you have natural fires, consider operating them during the home open to give your home added atmosphere. “It is also worth investing in floral arrangements to enhance the atmosphere of the home during the winter months.” Mr Peard advised taking a flexible approach to home inspections, as attendance during weekend home open times could sometimes be low due to bad weather. ■

WITH design and décor features to rival the most modern of homes, a family will want for nothing in this renovated and extended Beaumonde-built residence. No expense was spared in the process of updating the house, which offers 600sq m of space and is positioned opposite a lake, looking toward the city. On 735sq m of premium land in a soughtafter pocket, the double-storey house puts every inch of space to use. It cuts a stylish figure from the street, with a rendered façade offset by classic formal gardens, with clipped hedges framing a patch of grass. The simple and timeless aesthetic flows from the outside in, through double doors with patterned glass inserts to the spacious, tiled foyer. From here, walkways branch off to a minor wing with two bedrooms and a study or theatre area (which could be closed off and converted into a sixth bedroom to suit a big family), and past a formal living area to the central, free-flowing living zone. This open-plan space comprises a gourmet kitchen overlooking the meals area, and a big family room, with many doors and windows that let in natural light, creating a fresh and bright look and feel. Granite splashbacks and benchtops (with

underslung sinks), stainless steel appliances such as a rangehood and double-drawer dishwasher, and overhead glass display cupboards ensure the kitchen meets the highest standards in form and function. Avid entertainers will love the indoor-outdoor games room, which branches off the living zone through glass double doors. There are also bi-fold doors along one wall that integrate the room with the resort-style alfresco area, and sliding doors to a separate room that is currently used as a home gym. It has a pitched timber-lined roof and a bar/kitchenette that makes entertaining all the more convenient. The backyard is secure, with glass safety partitions around the below-ground pool and separate spa with gazebo cover. Polished wood flooring starts at the staircase and continues to the spacious living area on the first floor landing. A balcony here, which can also be accessed from the master suite, affords views over the extensive parkland opposite. As well as the opulent main bedroom, with adjoining spa ensuite, bedrooms two and three are on this level, and are serviced by a family bathroom. It is one of the few homes in Churchlands that enjoys lake and city views, and is sure to impress even the most discerning buyer. ■

Cubism trend adds to fine townhouse Clean lines and minimalist features combine in an attractive package, writes COURTNEY NOTTE THE distinctly modern external features of this home look influenced by the cubism trend. Set up in ‘blocks’, the clean lines and angles are eye catching, but it is the combination of materials and finishes that really make it stand out from the street. Minimalist features such as mocha-coloured rendering, a glass garage door, stainless steel balustrading and a frosted glass privacy screen to the cedar-lined balcony are set off by the colour and character of easycare native gardens. Frosted glass panel doors open to the foyer – one from a front portico and the other directly from the double garage, for added security. Jarrah flooring starts here, and continues in the free-flowing meals area, family room and kitchen that make up this floor. Glass sliding doors and large windows overlook three separate alfresco areas at the back, and ensure living spaces are light and bright.

A patio under the main roof protects one of the outdoor areas, while a big dome patio protects another entertaining area with lush border gardens. Both of these outdoor zones are convenient to the meals area and kitchen, which impresses with high quality fittings and finishes. Upstairs, the main bedroom is a quiet retreat and has a private balcony with views to the coast. It also connects to a striking ensuite. A mosaic tile feature runs around the middle of the room, through the shower recess. The minor bedrooms are double-sized with robes. Extras include a laundry with a linen press and separate powder room on the ground floor, split system airconditioning, and a security system. Sophisticated, stylish and spacious, the townhouse is sure to impress even the fussiest buyer looking for a home close to the beach and amenities.

Not your average suburban home Eye for detail and quality sets this home apart from the ordinary. By COURTNEY NOTTE THE owners’ eye for detail and style has transformed this home from an average four-by-two into an understated contemporary haven where form meets function. Every inch of space on the 306sq m green title block has been used to full advantage. The double storey design maximises available space at the back, where the owner has created a low maintenance alfresco area of the highest standard. It forgoes the usual trappings of suburban back yards, instead opting for a sophisticated split-level design that incorporates a paved patio area at ground level, with steps to an elevated built-in plunge pool, with heating and swim jets. The decking that surrounds the pool is complemented by timberslat retaining walls to the land-

scaped border gardens and a small patch of grass. A timber-slat privacy fence protects the front courtyard, which has easy-care native gardens, from full view of the road. Presentation is what sets this home apart inside, from the simple, monochromatic colour palette throughout to the retro mod furnishings. The decor is most impressive on the ground floor, where big windows and sliding doors let in natural light and offer a view of the lush back yard. The casual meals area and family room flow into the kitchen, with pendant lights above the stone breakfast bench and ample cupboard space. There is also a formal living room or theatre area on this level, opposite the staircase in the entry foyer. The first floor is home to the bedrooms with built-in robes, bathrooms – one of which is an ensuite to the main bedroom – and a study.

Uncertain future keeps buyers conservative HOME buyers remain wary despite signs that property is becoming more affordable, say market analysts. The new Housing Affordability Sentiment Index report released by realestate.com.au confirms that confidence is low and that uncertainty about the future is causing financial conservatism. Survey participants said Perth and Brisbane were the least affordable property markets, with 28 per cent of WA householders saying their

director Christopher Joyce says he expects national confidence in housing affordability to grow. Analyst David Chalke says Generation Ys have the most positive outlook of any age group and are still clinging to the dream of owning their own home.“Although it may come as something of a surprise, it is the young Gen Ys that are the least pessimistic about housing affordability while the seniors are the most unsure,” Mr Chalke says. ■

Wariness persists even as prices slowly start to fall, say market analysts total income had decreased and 87 per cent indicating their bills and expenses had risen. The latest Rismark research reveals the valuation of Australia’s housing market has fallen to levels not seen since July 2003, with an average property price-to-disposable household income ratio of 4.2 times for March.

Rismark predicts the downward trend of the ratio, which peaked at 4.7 times in December 2009, will continue. “With the exception of the global financial crisis, this is the longest correction in Australia’s housing market valuation since Rismark’s analysis began in 1993,” the report says. “Rismark expects the national

dwelling price-to-income ratio to continue to trend down over the next year or so as wages and disposable household incomes outpace capital growth.” In contrast to popular belief, disposable incomes have risen 7.5 per cent more than capital city house prices over the past eight years. Rismark International managing

Lengthy delays in finalising finance leads to frustration INCREASING amounts of home loan applicants were experiencing lengthy delays in finalising their loan agreements, Fruit Property Rockingham sales manager Steve Fletcher said. “In the early ’90s, we wrote offers conditional upon finance being approved for a buyer within seven days and two weeks for settlement date thereafter,” he said. “Some years later these timeframes increased to 14 days for finance and three weeks for settlement. “Banks now insist on 28 to 30 days for

finance approval and invariably, they advise us that their clients (buyers) will require an extension for a further seven, 14 or 21 days even after the first initial 30-day finance approval period.” Mr Fletcher said that it was often the real estate agents who received criticism for financing delays. “As real estate agents we have to face our clients personally and must face the music from irate vendors,” he said. “We are forever making excuses for the banks’ poor efforts to provide finance by

the due date on the contract. The banks show contempt and a lack of concern for both buyers and sellers who are massively inconvenienced by these process delays.” However, Steven Münchenberg, Chief Executive of the Australian Bankers’ Association (ABA), said the delays were a result of more responsible lending on the behalf of banks. “It is important to note that banks are now subject to responsible lending obligations which impose stringent penalties,” he said. ■

Low-maintenance living in stylish home

Sleek lines, easy maintenance. By COURTNEY NOTTE A HAVEN of urban cool, this sophisticated townhouse blends designer flair with streamlined minimalism for the ultimate in low-maintenance living. The faĂ§ade makes an immediate impression with its striking simplicity. Clean lines draw the eye to the feature stone-clad portico, which contrasts nicely with the light rendered finish. Stylish and streamlined best describes the home, from the front to the interior, where stylish finishes flow across the two levels. The sense of space throughout, achieved with high ceilings and enhanced by the abundance of natural light and Italian porcelain floor tiles, is overwhelming. From the entry foyer, step down to a formal living room, with glass doors to a private

courtyard. Around the corner, the dining room and adjacent kitchen also have access to this maintenance-free alfresco area. Full-width, floor-to-ceiling storage along one wall is a practical feature of the designer kitchen, but it stands out for its aesthetics, such as the pendant lights above the Caesarstone waterfall bench, two-tone cabinetry and stainless steel Bosch and Omega appliances. Tallowwood flooring starts at the staircase and continues to the first floor living area. Narrow lantern-like windows in the stairwell protect privacy while letting in natural light.

REVIEWS

Unbeatable views, unparalleled luxury This exclusive home has everything from wraparound water vistas to privacy and hard-to-beat decor, writes COURTNEY NOTTE IN an exclusive pocket of Contacio Cove, this home rivals the most lavish residences on the coast in opulence and style, and was built to capitalise on panoramic ocean views. This is obvious from the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement feature â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a big curved balcony with a glass balustrade, in prime position to take in the uninterrupted view of the water. A big bay window in the living zone, which comprises the family room, meals area and kitchen, captures this same stunning view. Whether the striking decor here outshines the view is a difficult decision, but with high-end finishes and materials such as polished wood flooring, stone surfaces in the kitchen, and decorative ceiling features, it has to be considered. There is a sense of flow between the living areas, thanks to recessed and bulkhead ceiling features that both unite and define the spaces. An understated colour scheme lets the view and innate style of the rooms take centre stage. With its warm and inviting atmosphere, there is no doubt this

living zone will be the heart of the home. The whole family can enjoy the abundant space in the family and dining rooms, and the well-equipped kitchen is conveniently positioned for entertaining on the balcony. It has a long breakfast bench and dark cupboards and splashbacks that set off the look of the stainless steel appliances, including a rangehood and gas hob. Accommodation comprises four bedrooms and two bathrooms, a study and separate formal living areas across the two levels. The rooms on the ground floor have the benefit of being close to the north-facing courtyard, with a patio under the main roof and high privacy walls to protect those using the below-ground pool. It is on a 354sq m green title block and comes with an alarm system. Its substantial street presence can be attributed to the rendered facade with Mediterranean-flair, feature columns to the portico with double timber statement doors and water feature.

SUBURB PROFILE

suburb profile

Tuart Hill suburb firmly on the way up TUART HILL

STEP BACK IN TIME: Tuart Hill’s first European land owner was TRC Walters, according to City of Stirling records. In 1840, the Crown granted him 2436 hectares north of Perth that included an area renowned for its large stands of tuart trees. The land was farmed until improved transport caused building construction to accelerate in the 1950s, with Tuart Hill fully developed by the 60s.

POPULATION: 5943 residents. MEDIAN RESIDENT AGE: 36 years. WEEKLY HOUSEHOLD INCOME: $823/wk

Popular family area now home to almost 6000 people who enjoy benefits of a good location near the CBD, writes KEREN BELLOS WITH affordable housing, a range of schooling options and plenty of open spaces, it’s little wonder that many families call Tuart Hill home. Just six kilometres from the CBD, the area is bordered by Perth’s major arterial roads – Morley Drive in the north, Wanneroo Road in the east, McDonald Street in the south and Main Street in the west. Its almost 6000 residents live in single residential dwellings, townhouses and units, with post-war homes alongside modern developments creating a diverse suburban landscape. They have the option of taking advantage of

the bus service that links the locality to the city and surrounding suburbs. Tuart Hill’s most significant landmark is Robinson Reserve, which has been the site of the Osborne Park Show since 1914. Grenville Reserve is another recreational area where local sports teams can often be seen training. St Kieran and Tuart Hill primary schools and Servite College help make the area reputable as a family suburb, while Tuart College offers adult education. The suburb’s other major feature is Wanneroo Road, which is lined with restaurants, cafes and shops.

MEDIAN HOUSE PRICE: $565,000 MEDIAN MORTGAGE REPAYMENT: $1200/month MEDIAN RENT: $1600/week

KEY residential director Mike Dodemaide, who specialises in the Tuart Hill/Osborne Park area, said infill development was ongoing in Tuart Hill. “Many of the older properties on big blocks are being subdivided to build new villas and townhouses – a trend that is set to continue,” he told Residential. “Although still very much a popular family area due to the availability of several public and private schools, as well as Tuart College, there are increasing numbers of first-home buyers attracted by the affordability of units and villas. “Renters are also drawn to the suburb due

to its close proximity to the CBD and freeway, as well as the plentiful supply of rental properties.” Mr Dodemaide said one and two-bedroom units in Tuart Hill were priced from the low $200,000s to $300,000, two to three-bedroom villas attracted between $300,000 and $700,000, and free-standing houses and townhouses could command up to $1 million. Despite the property market downturn, Tuart Hill would likely continue experiencing solid demand from first-home buyers and investors, he said. ■

Residents enjoy living a sweet lifestyle OPERATING a Tuart Hill business is a piece of cake for Paul and Sharon Skinner. As the owners of Ruby’s Patisserie, they have built a reputation for producing premium desserts for any occasion and have helped put the suburb on the map since 1997. Mr Skinner, who is a pastry chef with almost 30 years experience, said he had always dreamt of owning a shop and chose to operate from Tuart Hill for many reasons. “My familiarity with the area, its central location, the ideal demographics for a business like ours, as well as competitive leasing rates on our premises make Tuart Hill a great place to run Ruby’s,” he told Residential. “Wanneroo Road is an arterial route to the city, so our exposure to the thousands of cars a day can only be a good thing.”

Mr Skinner said most customers were locals who were friendly, down to earth and realised the meaning of shopping local. “The Tuart Hill community has been very important to our continuing success,” he said. “We see a lot of return business due to the fact that a lot of its residents are families with children and that, for us, means lots of birthday cakes. “I believe that roughly 60 per cent of our sales come from the local community and based on our general success, I can only assume that Tuart Hill loves its cakes and pastries a lot.” With Ruby’s large range of individual desserts to choose from, including $2 chocolate and toffee eclairs that “walk out the door,” Tuart Hill residents are undoubtedly living the sweet life. ■
