With Christmas finally over, and January upon us, it’s time to start preparing for the influx of tourists to the area, and as locals, we need to harness a little patience. Roads will start to get a bit congested, which means road rage is usually ramped up, and the shopping centres get chaotic, which leads to spurts of trolley rage and creepy car-park stalking. While most Coast residents channel their inner ‘local’ and escape to less-crowded locations to dodge forseeable crowds, one thing is inevitable – many tourists that arrive on our beaches this year will fall in love with the Coast, and never leave. After all, living on the Coast is like having holidays for life – the perfect climate and a blend of majestic hinterland juxtaposed with glorious beaches. So if you find yourself grumbling over the crowds, look at the Coast through the eyes of a tourist and remember why you love it in the first place. We’re all lucky to live here.

One-way ticket by Lou Robson

The secret’s out as the rest of the world quickly discovers what locals have known all along – that the Sunshine Coast is a great place to live as well as holiday. And it’s the Poms and Kiwis who are leading the charge to come, see and stay.

The new faces of Carolans First National Real Estate Exciting times ahead! That is the view of the new owners Tamara and Peter Wrigley of Carolans First National Real Estate. more than 40 years’ experience between them. With this team you know you are going to get the best possible property management services and experience on the Sunshine Coast.

“When entrusting your property to Carolans First National, you are assured that it will be managed with the utmost professionalism and integrity,” she says. Peter, who graduated from QUT with a Bachelor of Laws and a Master of Laws, dived into property at the age of 26. Peter completed his first development in Kelvin Grove and from there has completed some 14 townhouse and unit developments, one large commercial development and two large subdivisions.

Carolans First National’s sales team consists of Peter Wrigley, Deb Aldous and Sheree Maddock. Both Deb and Sheree live in Nambour and know the area well. Tamara and Peter, who are both from Brisbane, have lived and breathed real estate for most of their lives.

Tamara and Peter Wrigley amara and Peter took over Carolans First National on December 1, 2008 from Ian Bell, who had owned the real estate agency for some 26 years.

Carolans First National is a true family business with Tamara’s mum, Gail Kenny, heading the property management department with her 10-plus years of property management and commercial experience. She joins Amanda Hudson, a 19-year veteran of property management. All in all Tamara, Gail and Amanda have

At the age of 19, Tamara started out as a junior receptionist for a real estate office at Greenslopes, Brisbane, and was given the opportunity to do a traineeship in property management. After obtaining her real estate licence, Tamara ventured out with Peter to run a small real estate office in St Lucia. Throughout her real estate career, Tamara grew and matured to managing small portfolios, through to large portfolios, managing property management staff, training staff and developing new offices. Tamara’s dynamic business style and relationship skills have made her a well-respected and sought-after property professional. Tamara has created an exceptionally high level of service in property management, and is committed to providing superior knowledge across all areas of residential, retail and commercial management throughout Nambour and the Sunshine Coast.

DEB ALDOUS SOLD MORE THAN $2 MILLION WORTH OF PROPERTIES IN THE MONTH OF DECEMBER.

With a passion for real estate - all residential, commercial, rural and particularly investment properties - Carolans First National is delighted to have Deb Aldous on the sales team. She has a real understanding of what Carolans clients require. Her ability to listen intently and act on instruction with integrity and honesty stand her in good stead. “My greatest satisfaction is placing a SOLD sticker on signs where the outcome has been successful and receiving testimonials from clients showing their satisfaction with my extended efforts in service,” she says.

“We purchased a rent roll in Hamilton, Brisbane, and our small office at St Lucia became a big office in Racecourse Road, Hamilton,” they say. During their time at Hamilton they decided to open a second office at Burpengary to tap into the ever-growing development and housing north Brisbane had to offer. Tamara and Peter bring not only 25 years of real estate experience between them, but also a legal knowledge Peter was a solicitor in both Brisbane and the UK - and body corporate experience, as they have previously owned a body corporate management business.

Gail Kenny – A true professional in real estate. Gail Kenny is the latest addition to our outstanding property management team, and she comes with more than 10 years’ experience on the Sunshine Coast.

Real estate provides the perfect playground for Deb, because she loves people and property. “I have a passion for selling real estate with enthusiasm, integrity and achieving a winwin situation for both vendors and buyers,” she says.

Peter and Tamara met at the REIQ where they both received real estate licences and decided to join forces and start up their own brand and offices throughout Brisbane and north Brisbane.

Dedicated to making sure “your property is a priority”, Gail is committed to providing excellence in service to landlords and tenants. Gail is a landlord herself, so she understands the ﬁner details of the emotion that can be involved in leasing an investment property. Her belief is to obtain the best results from a landlord’s investment with minimal fuss to the landlord and tenant. Gail acts on all facets of property management, giving her landlords peace of mind that their properties are being managed to the maximum potential. Her experience, advice, dedication and commitment are apparent with the honest approach she takes. And she’s not afraid to advise landlords and tenants of the best approach to maximise the potential from their investments.

Gail really does care! Mooloolaba 5444 3455

Put any extra cash into your home. by Joanne Greensill n late August 2008 we were all focused on how to manage increasing interest rates, petrol prices and the overall cost of living to ensure that we could maintain the repayments on our most prized possessions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; our homes. Who would have thought that in just four months our world would have changed so much. Petrol prices have dropped 33 per cent and interest rates have come down about three per cent. The result of tough times is they teach us just what we can do without. In the current market itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to assess whether those few things that we went without during the higher rate period are really necessary now rates have dropped, or whether we can maintain that lifestyle and put the extra cash into paying off our home loans sooner. Continuing to make the higher payments has its advantages. The extra money, while reducing the interest component of your repayments, can be used as savings to pay for large expenses like rates, insurance and unexpected bills. Alternatively, if the extra payments stay in your loan untouched, the term of your loan could potentially be reduced by many years.

The ride of her life

by Alli Grant

She’s a real estate industry expert who is living the dream of a sea change, and property guru Julie Ryan couldn’t be happier with her move from Sydney to our Coast. t.

where I work from, as long as I can easily get to an airport, and I have to say it is a lot more pleasant navigating Sunshine Coast Airport than Sydney Airport.” Lifestyle wasn’t the only attraction for Julie and Greg. Having worked in the real estate industry since the age of 19, Julie is well-placed to spot a bargain and was more than happy to invest her hard-earned dollars in local property. “It took a while to find the right house,” she says, “but when we saw this place we knew it was the one. I wanted

“

When I get home from travelling I just want to get grounded again. I like my home to be the opposite of my work

“

eal estate guru Julie Ryan is the latest sea-changer to hit the Sunshine Coast, having moved to her beach house at Alexandra Headland just a few months ago. Julie and fiance Greg McDonald bid farewell to their oceanfront penthouse in Sydney’s Cronulla and made the bold move to relocate to be closer to Julie’s family, as her daughter is expecting her first child in May. Considered Australasia’s leading speaker on real estate marketing and technology, Julie is a hands-on real estate agent who has been involved in almost every facet of the industry. She has owned her own agency and worked for some of the largest franchise groups in the country. She also advises the Federal Government on real estate matters. She speaks on more than 300 marketing-related topics and spends most of her time servicing business related to property, including finance, insurance and the media, although she focuses on real estate agencies of varying sizes. She offers a vast array of training, speaking and consulting services and can be speaking at an international conference in front of 10,000 people one day and reviewing the marketing strategy for a local boutique agency the next. These days, her time is spent travelling Australia and the world, consulting to a wide range of businesses. All of Julie’s work is generated through word-of-mouth, which she believes is thanks to her industry experience. “People want to hear from people with experience on the ground,” Julie says. “They want to know you’ve done it before. Working in the industry for so long provides me with empathy for people I am speaking to or training. I understand what they are going through.” So do her clients mind that she is no longer based in Sydney? “The vast majority of my clients don’t know where I live so it doesn’t matter at all,” she says. “Thanks to technology, the world has definitely shrunk. It doesn’t matter

trees, but I also wanted to be close to the beach, which is a five-minute walk through Alex Forest – it’s gorgeous. “It’s an ideal location to invest in. You’ve got such a laidback lifestyle here but it’s so convenient to everything. I can easily get to Brisbane to shop or go to the theatre and I’m just a short flight to anywhere I need to go for work. It really doesn’t take me any longer to get anywhere.” What has surprised Julie about the Coast is the number of locals she already knows here. “Lots of people I didn’t know live here, live here. I have rediscovered so many friends since moving to the Coast. The move was great for us and I advocate that people in the industry experience a move every other year, especially agents, as it’s the best way to remember what it’s like to be a buyer or a vendor.” Julie travels a great deal for work, so it was important that her home provided a balance to her hectic life.

at home

“I spend about 27 weeks a year living in hotel rooms and it can be a very artificial life,” she says. “We wanted our home to be the opposite of a hotel room. It has a beach house feel to it and I love the natural timbers and open plan. When I get home from travelling I just want to get grounded again. I throw on my flat shoes, get out in the vegie patch and paint. I like my home to be the opposite of my work.” In addition to getting out the paintbrushes, Julie has a little less orthodox way to relax – by throwing on a helmet and hitting the streets on her racy BMW motorbike. “I used to ride a lot when the kids where little but I only got back on the bike, so to speak, about two years ago. We now get out every chance we get as it’s such a great place to ride. The mountains here are fantastic.” But back to property. As a new local, Julie has an idea of what the future holds for the local market. “It’s what I term a ‘correcting market’ at the moment, but it’s a sentimentdriven correction rather than a fundamental-driven one, which is a good thing. I believe markets move in emotional cycles, but this is when you will find maximum financial opportunity – when the market is in correction mode.” Julie adds that it’s an especially good market for investors. “The area represents great value and is currently undervalued. Prices have clearly adjusted so there are great deals to be had, especially for investors. There’s great opportunity for high capital gains at the moment. By this time next year I believe we will be in recovery mode.” My Property Review | January 2, 2009 21

Thinking of selling – you can’t afford not to read this As we are all by now very aware, we have entered unprecedented times in the world economy and it is as yet an unknown as to what impact the ﬁnancial crisis will have on the real estate market on the Sunshine Coast. However, most of us in the industry would concur we are well placed to withstand any major downturn and at this point at least, there has been little evidence that activity has changed signiﬁcantly.

In fact to date the ‘top-end’ of the market has been performing particularly well over the past couple of months despite the bad news on the economic front. I have personally sold close to $9 million worth of property in this time, one sale of which was the record price paid for an apartment at Moffat Beach, selling for $2.675 million. As this undoubtedly is good evidence that the prestige market is travelling well we also need to be mindful of the influence of the media on buyer activity. The constant bombardment of doom and gloom and the clear message that if buyers wait they’ll purchase at much better value than what is currently offered will take its toll. Now whether this is true or not will only be known in hindsight, but it will play a huge role in the ‘psychi’ of the buyer. But of course on the flip-side as interest rates continue to fall, one should expect to see a counter-balance of activity. So what is the strategy around this current situation? Well as a prestige property consultant who only markets property at the top-end, I believe the critical factors which now come in to play is the competence of the agent to adapt to the current conditions and provide the Seller with expert advice. This is not a market for the faint hearted or the ‘new kid on the block’. It will be the

experienced agent who will have honed their skills and in particular their ability to communicate with buyers in this changing market to ensure they stay engaged.

do you trust this person unreservedly. By doing your research and making an informed decision you will without doubt have maximized your chances of a successful outcome.

The other critical factor in achieving a successful outcome will be the method of sale chosen. Having worked in the industry for many years now I have been exposed to all varies methods of sale, but there is one that stands out well ahead of the rest and that is marketing without a price. It just makes good sense. Why would we as agents recommend listing a property with a price when we know if three or more agents were to do an appraisal, almost certainly all would come up with a different figure. In many instances there can be ridiculous differences from one agent to another.

Marketing your property without a price will be your insurance policy against underselling. We all know that it is highly unlikely a buyer will offer you more than the listed figure. Marketing without a price also maximizes the number of buyers who will inquire as they will not dismiss your property based on a listed figure. We want this, as we all know if you can get a buyer to a property without price as a deterrent and they love it, the likelihood of them paying more than intended is very high. At the end of the day the role of the agent is to secure the highest price available in the market place and I would challenge that marketing with a price actually achieves this.

“

The other critical factor in achieving a successful outcome will be the method of sale chosen

“

t can however take some time for the ripple effect to reach and advice in the short term for owners is that if you have been considering selling that it would probably be fortuitous to go to the market sooner rather than later, as we know what we are currently dealing with, it is a little harder to predict the future, but one can be fairly certain we are not heading for a boom any time soon. If you are intending to sell it would be fairly safe to say that a sale in the next few months as opposed to the next 6 to 12 months will serve you well.

Of course the lure is to select the agent who has promised the most money. If I can give you one piece of advice it would be to choose the agent based on their ability to expose your property in its best possible light to the market, ensuring no stone is left unturned in the pursuit of finding the buyer prepared to pay the premium available. If you must have a figure I would suggest you employ the services of a registered valuer where there can be no conflict of interest.

New Year’s resolutions for a greener home It’s 2009, and if you haven’t done so already, it’s time to make some resolutions – like losing weight, saving money and being kinder to the environment. We can’t help with the first two, but our seven steps to a greener home will have the planet thanking you.

R Refuse, reduce, re-use, recycle re This is by far the easiest way to live a more eco-friendly life, especially around the home. Just refuse excess packaging at the shops, reduce the amount you buy to minimise waste, re-use as much as possible and recycle what you can’t refuse, reduce or re-use. Easy! Implement a system for recycling in your home, teach your family about what should and shouldn’t be recycled and stay committed to using the right bins, and you’re on your way to a greener 2009 already.

See the light S The Federal Government has declared that traditional incandescent light globes will be phased out by 2010, but why wait until then? As each of your existing globes flickers its last, replace it with a compact fluorescent alternative. The Federal Environment Department estimates that around 90 per cent of all power used by conventional globes is wasted as heat. Because compact fluorescents run much cooler, this wastage is minimised. When you count up the number of lights around a typical home, taking such a replacement strategy will pay dividends over the long term.

Be a star B TTurn it off Standby power is the energy used by an appliance while plugged in but not in operation. A large number of household appliances have a standby mode, including televisions, VCRs, DVDs, microwaves, icrowaves, es and cordless phones, fax machines computer equipment. Around nd 10 per cent of electricity consumed nsumed in Australian households is used by appliances in standby mode – a complete waste of energy! So, when you’re not using it, turn it off – at the wall!

When buying new appliances for the home, where applicable, look at its energy (star) rating to select the most energy-efficient model. The more stars, the more efficient the appliance is . What could be easier?

Plant a tree P Did you know that on average a single tree will absorb one tonne of carbon dioxide in its lifetime? That’s a great reason to get together with the family and plant a tree in your yard. Future generations will benefit.

FFeed the worms Resist the temptation to use the garbage disposal and recycle your unwanted food scrapss and garden waste in a compost garden. Composting is the natural decomposition or breakdown of food and garden waste into a natural fertiliser. Get a compost bin or worm farm from your local hardware store and involve the kids in makingg compost – they’ll love it!

Get water-wise Ge There are many ways you can monitor and reduce your water consumption in 2009. Make sure your dishwasher is water efficient and only put it on when it’s full. Don’t rinse dishes under a running tap – it’s a complete waste of good water. Think twice about using the garbage disposal unit as most waste litres of water each day – compost your scraps instead. Remember to keep your showers less than four minutes long – use a shower timer, available at most hardware and grocery shops. Fix your leaking taps by replacing the washers, as a slow-leaking tap can waste up to 20,000 litres of water a year! Use greywater from the washing machine and shower it on your garden. If you’re looking to make a big difference, consider installing a rainwater tank. You’ll be surprised how much water you’ll save.

Worth the wait by Dorothy Drane

As modern-day Sunshine Coast commuters breathe a sigh of relief as the Kunda Park roadworks near completion, Dorothy Drane reflects on a time when getting to Maroochydore was a scenic journey that took hours, not minutes. ompletion of the four-lane road between Kunda Park and the Bruce Highway is a Christmas bonus for commuters and has been a long time coming. The four-kilometre section, to help stop Eudlo Flats flooding cutting off the main access road to Maroochydore each year, has been on the drawing board for more than a decade and was brought forward in 2004 to fast-track Sunshine Coast infrastructure projects. It was scheduled for completion by the end of last year, a year after completion of the 1.3-kilometre four-lane upgrade through Kunda Park. It might all be a year late, but it will make the trip safer and quicker. The speed limit, set at 60 kmh when heavy vehicles using the industrial estate had no turning or merging lanes and trundled along with the rest of the traffic heading to and from Maroochydore and the Bruce Highway, has finally been increased to 70 kmh. Progress has been kind to busy commuters wanting to get to the Sunshine Coast’s CBD, but there was a time when it was a pleasant drive through what local kids fondly dubbed ‘Goldilocks Woods’. This was a small patch of rainforest just west of what is now the Enterprise Estate. And even this narrow two-lane link road was pure luxury. The Queensland Government Intelligence and Tourist Bureau’s tourist guide Mountain and Seaside Resorts of Southern Queensland from Noosa to the Tweed published around 1923, advised visitors from Brisbane that “Maroochydore may be reached by many different routes, the most convenient of which are enumerated hereunder. “The return journey can always be made by a different method to the forward one, whereby new scenes are continually unfolded to the tourist. In this feature Maroochydore excels.” The first route listed is a train to Yandina, a journey of 69 miles, “thence per Coulson’s motor launch to destination. Launch leaves Yandina Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays 9am. Return same day 2pm.” Fares were two shillings each way. The second choice was a train for 65 miles to Nambour, then a tram to the Moreton Sugar Mill’s terminus at Deepwater and “thence motor launch to Maroochydore. Tram leaves Currie Street, Nambour, Tuesdays and Thursdays 12 noon, Saturdays 2pm, Sundays 8.30am. Motor launch awaits arrival of tram at Deepwater and proceeds thence to Maroochydore.” The tram fare was one shilling and the motor boat one shilling each way. Passengers who chose this option were given the delightful news that they would reach Nambour “in ample time to have tea there and catch the Gympie to Brisbane train arriving Central Station 9.20pm”. The third option was to take the train to Palmwoods, which was 60 miles, then the tram to Buderim, a distance of seven miles then “conveyance to destination 3½ miles. Fares 2s each way.” PC Evans advertised his Nambour to Maroochydore motor boat service as the “fast passenger launches Alexandra and Hazeldean” connecting with the Moreton Sugar Company’s tram terminus at Deepwater. He promised “a delightful trip on the picturesque Maroochy River and Petrie’s Creek”. On arrival, first-class accommodation was available at the Club Hotel, later better known simply as the Maroochydore pub, which was “ideal for tourists” and “within a few minutes walk of Main Beach”.

A mailboat makes its way up Maroochy River

The proprietor Jas O’Halloran advertised “excellent cuisine, large airy rooms and every attention paid to visitors”. He could be contacted through Nambour by phone or Yandina by mail. For those who chose to return by a different route, there was the “choice of regular motor boat trips to Deepwater, Bli Bli and Yandina. The trip to Yandina follows the upward course of the Maroochy River. “As the banks of the stream grow nearer to each other, the beauty of the waterway is intensified by the luxuriance of the green woods on either side. Nature has remained undisturbed by tillage.” And that was not even 100 years ago. The journey to Maroochydore was worthwhile. “Maroochydore is very charmingly placed. The placid

waters beside it are shallow and many shaded in their vagaries of green. The view includes a small headland standing out strikingly bare except for a meagre row of equally distanced trees. “A few miles further out is Mudjimba’s Rock, commonly called ‘Old Woman Island’ in proximity to which excellent catches of schnapper and other deep sea fishes are made. “A distant, rhythmic roar of surf always accompanies life at Maroochydore, and away beyond the queer little headland strong eyes may see the sparkle of spray as waves beat upon the sands of the beach. An almost constant charm of waters as they broad out into a quiet lake-like sea at the mouth of a tidal river is the way in which they play a painter’s part by their reflection on the sky.”

Fun and games by Dorothy Drane

MPRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s columnist ponders the demise of the Sunshine Coast hobby farm and reflects on her own first home, a rural retreat full of the potential and pitfalls of a country life. hatever happened to the dear old hobby farm? The term seems to have passed into ancient history, to be replaced by â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hinterland acreageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tree changeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;country lifestyleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and even â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rural retreatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, as real estate advertisers attempt to continue capturing the imagination of that particular market segment. Once, anyone who lived on around five acres west of the highway was labelled a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hobby farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, whether or not they knew the first thing about tilling the soil. I bought into this category in 1980, when the label â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hobby farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was still fashionable, but in our case, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;potteringâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;meddlingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or even â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;horticultural disasterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; would have been a much more accurate description. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember when the term â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hobby farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; passed into disuse, but I do remember the challenges of landing on five acres that gently sloped down to a dam and a house that probably should have gently washed down as well. Being old pineapple

land, any soil worth having had, by this time, ended up at the bottom of the hill, so that there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a lot, other than lantana, that could flourish on this acreage. Nevertheless, we ploughed ahead, building a chook pen, acquiring a tractor, cleaning up the rusted implements unearthed in the old shed (just before its roof ended up in the neighbourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paddock during a cyclone) and investing in various other perceived â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hobby farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; necessities. As it turned out, all were acts of sheerest optimism, but there was an awful lot of fun to be had on the way through. The house itself was another matter. It was fibro with casement windows that never wanted to open or close and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have screens. The roof was the old Super Six, now better known as an asbestos nightmare. The water tanks leaked, the plumbing was dodgy, the bathroom was pink, green, purple and yellow, and there were rats. Such conditions inevitably led to grand

adventures as, young and clearly foolish, we set out to put everything straight with first-home owner enthusiasm. There were two 1000-gallon tanks to serve the household but really, we were lucky to have 1000 gallons all up, as both tanks had holes around the halfway mark. A third tank, equally rusted out, stood on a wooden frame at the highest part of the property so that it could gravity feed down to flush the toilets. That is, until very late one night when, with an almighty crash which could be heard for miles, the whole thing packed it in and came tumbling down. There was not a drop of the precious water to be saved as it gushed off down the gentle slope to the dam. The hobby farmers were the first to run ecologically sustainable estates not so much from environmental conscience as from necessity. There was no garbage collection service, so a complicated system of waste disposal was introduced.

Newspaper and cardboard products went to make a base for bark gardens, food scraps went to the chooks, other decomposables went to the compost bin, jars were washed and recycled for homemade chutneys and jams, most plastics were similarly recycled as containers for various purposes and only tins had to be set aside for the dump. By the time we moved on to building a new house a decade later, the home was clad in western red cedar and its rooms were bright and charming. A garden had emerged from the lantana, and it was a beautiful place to live. We never did manage to grow a successful crop of anything though, so in all truth, us hobby farmers were just plain old renovators seeking a lifestyle retreat on a hinterland acreage.

property reviews Satisfy the artist in you at home in Buderim The moment you drive through the trees, the private peaceful world of this home opens up and you know you’ve found something special. Hidden from the street on more than 1400 square metres of flat useable land is possibly one of the nicest surprises on Buderim. With sweeping views from the hills to the ocean from every room, this architecturally designed home has and always will stand the test of time. Glass and high-raked ceilings create a feeling of unending space, making already generously sized rooms feel even bigger. If you have the luxury of being able to work from home or require an atmosphere that inspires you to be creative, this is what you’ve been looking for. Thoughtfully laid-out gardens allow you to fully enjoy your privacy without making you their slave. One of the decks has a spa but there is plenty of room for a pool.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop moving by Dorothy Drane

The light at the end of the financial crisis tunnel is already in sight, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good view of it from the hinterland. nyone waiting for the housing market to fall in the hinterland could be waiting for a long time, as hopes remain high for a successful 2009. Ron Hicks of Keyline Realty in Nambour says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely any bargains that are going to turn up are already here now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Interest rates have already dropped and are expected to fall below four per cent,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will take the pressure off borrowers, so we are unlikely to see many forced sales. An interest rate of four per cent or lower makes buying real estate a sound proposition. Cashed-up investors are likely to be players in the market in 2009.â&#x20AC;? Ron says that while the volume of sales is contracting, a lot of predictions arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eventuating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They said interest rates would reach double figures by Christmas and petrol would be in excess of $2 per litre

and now we are hearing all about â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;recessionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, but the market cannot atrophy with such low interest rates. The housing market is not going to fall.â&#x20AC;? In fact, Craig Heppell of Nambourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Victor Realty says he is looking forward to the new year and expected exciting times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sure the world economy is in a downturn and doomsayers are predicting it will be horrible, but everyone should just go about their business,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not back to boom times, I expect it will really pick up in 2009 going into 2010. If we all work hard all will be good.â&#x20AC;? Craig says the market has dropped back a little â&#x20AC;&#x201C; about five to eight per cent â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in terms of price in 2008 compared with the peak of November 2007, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not all doom and gloom and buyers are again becoming confident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There always has to be something and now that the recession is

not happening, unemployment is being listed as the big worry. Sure it will go up but it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affect the housing market as much as many think,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The big multi-nationals are laying off but we are not too exposed to that as we have a lot of small businesses and they are holding up well.â&#x20AC;? Most movement continues to be in the affordable price bracket of $300,000 to $400,000 and although the $500,000-plus market is not moving as quickly, there is

A lifestyle made in heaven Make your move to Cloudwalk at Maleny

still some interest. Acreage has also steadied, as its buyers traditionally come from Sydney and Melbourne. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Sydney market is off the boil so this is felt here,â&#x20AC;? Craig says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Brisbane buyers and people from mining areas are keeping it moving while the southern market re-groups.â&#x20AC;? He says due to low interest rates and high rents, investment is attractive and he expects to see investors come back into the market before June. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s steady as she goes,â&#x20AC;? he says.
