Goodbye 2010. There are probably a lot of property owners and investors who are happy to see the back end of what was quite a tumultuous year for real estate. An onslaught of interest rate rises at the start of the year may have been a strategic move by the Reserve Bank of Australia to stabilise the “stronger than anticipated” economy in the wake of the GFC, but it sure took a toll on property owners with increases to mortgages around the nation, and residents of the Coast weren’t immune. The experts are saying that the local property market in 2011 won’t be too different from what we’ve experienced this year, and in this special annual edition of Snapshot, you’ll find plenty of experts having their say on what to expect in the new year. To recap, turn to page 10 for our cover story, which wraps up the 2010 property market. To look to the future, sit back with a cup of coffee and peruse the pages for expert opinions and inspiration heading into 2011. Happy new year.

review by Julie Gatehouse

What made news for the Sunshine Coast property market in 2010? MPP reviews the changes and controversies, the facts and ﬁgures that interested residents, home buyers, investors and the industry. t was a year in which the local property industry was startled politically and steadied economically. There was a federal power struggle involving two Nambour alumni, Kevin Rudd and Wayne Swan, and a tug-of-war between the State and local government for planning control of a new 50,000-strong community at Caloundra. While rising interest rates hit home for many Coast residents, 2010 actually started and ended with Reserve Bank decisions to not increase the cash rate. In fact, this official rate rose by a total of a per cent this year, through quarter-per cent instalments on four occasions – March, April, May and November. In February, when the rate was 3.75 per cent, Federal Treasurer Wayne Swan reminded

Parliament it was the lowest since the 1960s. When the Reserve Bank kept the rate at 4.75 earlier this month amid relief from home owners gearing up for Christmas spending, it was still well below the March 2008 high of 7.25 per cent. Rate rises had been predicted by most economic analysts in 2009 and many people had prepared to tighten purses. However, by late this year the big retail banks were copping public backlash for upping mortgage rates by more than the cash rate. The Commonwealth Bank was first past the post on Melbourne Cup Day when it increased its standard variable rate by almost double the official rise to 7.81 per cent. Angry consumer groups such as Choice started a campaign called Better Banking, including a ‘Compare, Ditch and

could unlock equity in their homes in order to invest further, considering 34 per cent of Sunshine Coast owners had no mortgage. That figure was greater than the Queensland and Australian percentages. In March, the new local chair of the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) Brett Graham said, “There’s a growing stability among sellers and buyers, and a choice of homes for sale. People will look back on 2010 and see what a good time it was to buy property here.” The Coast started the year with a $467,000 median sale price for houses, according to RP Data. Brett’s confidence in the market relates to the region’s natural assets, desirable lifestyle and ongoing population growth from 313,000 in 2008 to the expected half a million by 2031,

as well as government plans to boost housing by 98,000 new dwellings in two decades. This month, RP Data reported a “subdued growth” of 4.8 per cent in Sunshine Coast house prices over the 12 months to September 2010. The median is $487,500. Units recorded seven per cent growth during 2010 to a median of $374,500. Sippy Downs came third on the list of top 10 suburbs in Australia for unit gross rental yields, with 9.6 per cent. Overall, the number of property sales on the Coast was more than 7500 in 2010, but well below our annual average over the past decade. The REIQ says the fundamentals of Queensland’s economy in 2010 absorbed the negative impacts of the global financial crisis.

Switch’ website. The fed-up Federal Government launched reforms such as banning exit fees on new home loans from July 2011. It was a challenging year for the Coast’s property market and construction and housing industries, but there was plenty of excitement, too. By January 2010, the Federal Government’s stimulus packages had wound back. With the First Home Owner Grant dropped to its pre-bonus $7000, real estate agents reported seeing fewer of these buyers. This was considered significant but not critical, given the tentative resurgence of home upgraders and investors. Homes under $400,000 on the Coast were still being snapped up and renovations were in full swing. In February, MPP examined how people

According to managing director Dan Molloy, the softer market conditions mean ample opportunities for people to upgrade by buying and selling in the same market. He describes current buying conditions as ideal for investors. REIQ figures show Buderim, Minyama and Sunshine Beach recorded the Coast’s highest suburban house price medians to September 2010 and Noosa Heads, Sunshine Beach and Twin Waters had the highest unit medians. Master-planned communities emerged as a strong trend on the Coast this year, as all levels of government and industry put in the hard yards towards sustainable development. Existing estates released new stages from Peregian Springs to Pelican Waters while infrastructure is underway for new developments such as Maroochydore’s

Sunshine Cove. Other projects exist only on paper at this point. Mike Hefferan, Professor of Property and Development at the University of the Sunshine Coast, which is itself central to the development of a new university town at Sippy Downs, told MPP early in the year, “It is only now, perhaps with the challenges of congestion, sustainability and urban growth demand, that a more formalised approach to such concepts has gained momentum.” That formalised approach involved negotiations, submissions, revisions and decisions between Sunshine Coast Regional Council and the State Government, in consultation with the development industry and big land owners such as Stockland and Lend Lease, plus individuals and interest groups in the community. While everyone seemed to agree on the goals of making housing more affordable and sustainable on the Coast, public controversies overshadowed some of the significant achievements in planning that will steer the growth of Coast communities over the next 20 years. As MPP reported in a dozen articles over 2010, three fast-tracked locations covering more than 3500 hectares took the spotlight. Set to house more than 70,000 people by 2031, they prompted arguments about size, timelines and environmental impacts. By the end of the year, Palmview was a win for the council, Caloundra South a win for the State, and Maroochydore a stalemate for Horton Park Golf Club. Maroochydore started and ended 2010 earmarked for residential, commercial and community redevelopment to become the region’s principal activity centre, or CBD. Horton Park’s 53 hectares were deemed crucial to the project but golf club members voted in November to reject the council’s $39 million offer to buy it. The council started resumption proceedings. However, the council succeeded in getting ministerial approval for its structure plan to ensure Maroochydore moves ahead as a jobs generator from 2011. The plan contains continued over >

changes to rules such as building heights that were criticised by developers in May as barriers to investment. It now allows 12 storeys instead of 10 in a 40-metre building and has removed rules for maximum habitable floor heights, for example. While most new buildings will still have to be under 40 metres, a number of 16-storey (64-metre) buildings and one 18-storey (72-metre) landmark building may be considered only in the central precinct and only if they’re of outstanding sustainable design. Sunshine Plaza may also expand with another department store. The two greenfield areas, Palmview and Caloundra South, went through rigorous planning processes. While their outcomes

were very different on a political level, on a practical level both sites are likely to start infrastructure works in 2011. Developers Investa (Palmview) and Stockland (Caloundra South including Bellvista 2) aim to provide new homes of varying sizes, designs and prices to appeal to singles, couples and families at different life stages. Mayor Bob Abbot was pleased in November when the council adopted its State-sanctioned Palmview structure plan for 8000 or so residential dwellings (up to half will be detached homes). The council negotiated a $600 million infrastructure agreement with multiple stakeholders. “The plan is fair and reasonable, provides a range of community

and infrastructure benefits and supports our vision for a sustainable future,” Bob said. Caloundra South became the responsibility of the state’s Urban Land Development Authority (ULDA) in October after a shock move by the State Government. The Infrastructure and Planning Minister Stirling Hinchliffe said the council had dragged its feet on that structure plan and affordable housing could not wait. The ensuing feud reflected the Mayor’s warning in an earlier interview with MPP that “all hell would break loose”. While residents’ and environmentalists’ fears ran high at forums such as that held at the university in December, ULDA CEO Paul Eagles says all parties including council officers are working together to ensure a sustainable draft development scheme is released to the public in April 2011. Workshops with the Queensland Conservation Council are investigating best practice in relation to ecological principles. “The ULDA is assessing two development applications for the first 640 lots at Bellvista 2,” Paul says. If approved, work may get underway by mid 2011. Stockland’s initial stages are due to include a display village. Nationally, the biggest political shock of 2010 came in June with the ousting of Kevin Rudd by his own Labor Party and the elevation of Julia Gillard to the prime ministership. It was a tough year for housing and construction activity, but the Coast industry’s ongoing focus on innovation was recognised at prestigious awards events. In May, new state legislation backed the sustainable design trends by introducing a six-star energy equivalence rating minimum for all new houses and townhouses and renovations to these buildings. The annual report of the Coast branch of the Urban Development Institute of Australia, delivered in November, listed problems such as soft market conditions and a lack of funding, government incentives, major infrastructure and land supply. “However, we believe 2011 will be a pivotal year for the recovery of the industry,” says UDIA branch president Mark van Wyk, naming triggers such as the structure plan approvals and the new Sunshine Coast University

“We believe 2011 will be a pivotal year for the recovery

of the industry,” says UDIA branch president Mark van Wyk, naming triggers such as the structure plan approvals and the Sunshine Coast University Hospital precinct

Hospital precinct. Mark says he’s confident the region also will promote other employment generators such as the Kawana Waters Town Centre and the Sunshine Coast Airport masterplan implementation, including a proposed new runway for bigger aircraft as reported in MPP in October. While people interested in real estate eyed off the Marcoola area as the business and tourism benefits of the airport expansion were revealed, Kawana was the hot topic in September when Deputy Premier Paul Lucas clarified details such as timelines and bed numbers for the new $1.97 billion hospital precinct on the corner of Kawana Way. He told MPP the significance of a tertiary hospital for the Sunshine Coast could not be overestimated and would certainly create demand for the surrounding property market. Since then, Queensland Health has been evaluating the bids to build and operate the first hospital, a private facility, and expects to appoint one of them in April so construction can start by mid 2011. Sunshine Coast Health Service acting chief executive officer Jackie Hanson says the public hospital is on track for completion in 2016, when it will open with 450 beds increasing to 738 by 2021. A workforce planning manager has been appointed and the design specifications are undergoing a second external review. The project will create 9800 construction jobs and 3500 health care jobs. While property analysts such as Michael Matusik ended the year with flat forecasts amid concerns about lower interstate and overseas migration to Queensland, decisionmakers are no doubt using any breathing space to play infrastructure catch-up and finalise priorities for future growth on the Sunshine Coast. As Mayor Bob Abbot told MPP, the council this year has laid “solid planning foundations”, with community consultation. Strategies range from affordable living to transport, energy, biodiversity and economic development. All levels of planning in 2010 will have enormous impacts on how we live – and what the local property market does – in the future.

The only way is up It was the year of the interest rate rise, which sparked the government’s banking reforms. t the end of 2009, experts were warning that 2010 could be the year for interest rate rises – and they couldn’t have been more on the mark. The Reserve Bank of Australia kickstarted the first half of 2010 by lifting the official cash rate by 25 basis points consecutively in March, April and May, taking the official cash rate from 3.75 per cent in January to 4.5 per cent in May. By this time, the RBA Board had pretty much decided that the outlook for the Australian economy was a little stronger than first anticipated, in the wake of the GFC. After assessing the prospects for demand and inflation, the Board set monetary policy as needed to achieve an average inflation rate target of two to three per cent over time. After historically low interest rates during 2009, these sudden rate rises had a small ripple effect on the property market across the country, and the

number of banking reform packages that were introduced by the Gillard Government. Deputy Prime Minister and Treasurer Wayne Swan said the strategy would apply to the big banks. “We’ve worked carefully and methodically with our financial regulators to develop a package of reforms that will be effective and enduring, and won’t let the big banks off the hook. “There’s no silver bullet here – the challenges flowing from the global financial crisis can’t be solved overnight – but we’ll keep working hard to give all Australians a fighting chance.” The official cash rate remained unchanged throughout the second half

of 2010, with the exception of November in which the RBA doused the cash rate with another 25 basis points. In December, the Board left the rate unchanged at 4.75 per cent. While the aggressive rate rises at the start of the year left a sour taste in the mouths of investors and mum and dad property owners, it still remains far lower than the rates we’ve seen in the past few decades.

n a recent speech by Reserve Bank governor Glenn Stevens, he said, “It is sometimes said that Australia manages adversity well but prosperity badly. There will never be a better opportunity than now to show otherwise.” The proposition is that based on the circumstances at hand, we should expect our prosperity as a nation to increase for some time. This has many effects on the property market but put simply, in the negative it pushes up interest rates, which drives down demand due to affordability. In the positive it drives confidence and wages, which increases demand and affordability. The way our economy operates, which our property market reflects, is in my opinion undergoing a major structural (and permanent) change. While we’re not likely to see property prices double in a year again, there will be significant opportunities out there. What is key is looking at the core factors that drive growth. The Sunshine Coast has many of these factors including billions of dollars of infrastructure projects generating tens of thousands of jobs over the next 10 years, an existing undersupply of property and very strong population growth. I also believe our council is transitioning from being protectionist at the expense of economic growth to a much more balanced approach, which will again drive growth and opportunity. Over 2010 we have seen below trend growth (‘slow’ growth that if maintained would still see property prices double in the next 10 years, mind you) and 2011 is likely to again remain below trend with lower volumes of sales and growth around seven per cent. That’s still around $35,000 in asset growth on a median-priced property. Of course, I’m approaching the question of 2011 as an investor, so I’m looking at the next five to 15 years and not just the next 12 months. That said, 2011 presents significant opportunity. For some there will never be a better opportunity to invest because while there is likely to be only moderate growth next year, what is coming after 2011 suggests very happy days ahead indeed.

Sunshine Coast was no exception, with slowing inquiry rates anecdotally recorded throughout the region. In a controversial move, the country’s leading banks passed on an inflated rate rise to consumers, sparking a media frenzy which was followed by a

on the value of property. There are three parties to most transactions – buyer, seller and lender. The knock-on effect of lower prices for foreclosed property is that even if another buyer and seller agree to sell for a higher price, finance may not be available at that price. 3. Luxury property continues in the doldrums with just a few notable exceptions. While it is widely reported that luxury buyers are out seeking a bargain, there is evidence that savvy well-heeled buyers are still willing to buy truly exceptional property without needing the price tag to reflect a bargain basement price. As far as what investors are doing, the most astute ones are already engaging with the market. Investors are as keen as anyone else to purchase as close to the bottom of the market as they can. The more experienced ones know that it is rare that anyone picks the bottom of the market exactly because you don’t know it is the bottom until everything starts to rise again consistently, and then it is no longer the bottom of the market. Investors are likely to want a reasonable rate of return as well as potential for capital growth. In residential property, until recently,

roperty stock k is llike k rainfall f ll at the h moment – more on top of too much! Substantial levels of new-to-market property have been listed, with the now ‘traditional’ spring listing period bringing more property onto an overstocked market. Buyers remain hard to find, and are easily put off by minor issues with a property or its presentation that would barely rate a mention in better times. This means there will be winners and losers in the property market in 2011. Overall, anyone cashed up enough to buy will be a winner. Sellers in this market feel vulnerable, and to some extent they are. But the question I always ask a seller is, “What do you intend to do with the funds you obtain from the sale of this property?” If they are intending to repurchase, then it is highly likely they will not be smiling when they sell, but they will when they buy. In other words, the adage ‘buy or sell in the same market’ holds true. On the whole, I think 2011 will be more of the same with the only few exceptions I see being: 1. Realistic sellers will meet the market and this means price cuts for most. Some property owners hold the belief that property prices should be resistant to falls. This defies logic. The property market is exactly that, a market. Markets rise and fall based on a range of factors including supply and demand. Markets also respond to sentiment. You need only look as far as our own stock market to see examples of this. I too believe my home and my investments are worth more than the market says they are. 2. Foreclosures are likely to rise. Unemployment and business failure are the two most significant triggers for people having to face the distress of having their financial institution take possession of their property. Nationally, employment figures are strong and there are some bright spots in the economy locally, but under-employment is a reality locally. This is where people do have some work but either because of lack of available hours, the distance they need to travel to obtain it or the rate of pay, is below what they have previously been paid. The impact of under-employment on the household budget is obvious and most people can hang on for an extended period before a bank is likely to act, but many end up as forced sales. It is these forced sales that have the most dramatic impact on prices. Once there is sales evidence of property selling for a different (lower) price, valuers are obliged to take this into account when assessing other comparable property. They then have no choice but to be conservative

investors experienced poor rates of return in order to have potential capital gain, whereas overall the reverse was true for commercial property. The situation now is that cash in the bank is providing a good return for no risk, so when an investor is engaging with the market they are looking for both reasonable return and capital gain potential or they won’t buy. The only glimmer of hope here is that with a somewhat recovered stock market, self-managed superannuation fund investors have the capacity to enter the property market in good numbers if they choose. The Reserve Bank has paid little or no attention to the property market when it has been low and has, to date, only paid attention when it believed the market has been too high. Anyone who was looking at the property market as their guide to whether or not an interest rate rise was

justified would not have made the decision to raise rates in November. The focus of the Reserve Bank has been on employment and inflationary data. Given the surprisingly positive employment data for most regions in most months of 2010 and the known sensitivity of the RBA to take pre-emptive action on potential inflationary pressures that a tight labour market brings about, rates are likely to rise again and again in 2011. This strategy seems to be in defiance of commonly held believe that ‘things are bad’ and is clearly unhelpful to anyone with a mortgage. Marketed properties will sell over those who do not promote their property. In a good market, promotion helps achieve a premium price. In the existing market, promotion is about achieving a result, when many others are not. The market is clogged with property listed at an unachievable price with sellers who have little motivation to change the situation. This means that buyers have to work hard to sort the realistic owners from those who are not in touch with reality. Active marketing does three important things for a seller: 1. It communicates to motivated buyers in the market that the owners are serious about selling. 2. It creates a sense of urgency that encourages a motivated buyer to take action. Buyers are attracted to property that is new to the market. They know, however, that unless a property is actively marketed it is likely they will be the only one making an offer, resulting in lower offers than is the case where a buyer knows they either are in competition on a property or are highly likely to be in competition on a property (because of the attention the marketing is likely to receive). Premium prices are rare at this time but they do still occur when buyers are in competition with each other to purchase a property they feel emotionally attached to. 3. It promotes the benefits of the particular property over others. That extra photo might make all the difference to a buyer looking or not looking. Many sellers believe the internet is the main marketing tool for property, but this is not the case. The internet is an exceptionally valuable tool, particularly when hyper-local searches are available (an important innovation on the My Property Preview site). But the limit of the internet is that it requires the potential buyer to be in search mode and to correctly select all the criteria that a particular property falls into. Print media offers buyers who are browsing the opportunity to see alternatives they might previously not have even considered.

More of the same The University of the Sunshine Coast’s Mike Hefferan has his say.

rom an agent’s perspective there have been a couple of significant changes in the buyer landscape during 2010. Back in 2007, it was quite conceivable that seven out of 10 Coast property buyers would be from overseas. From 2001 to 2007 the Poms would almost triple their money once they converted their pounds to Aussie dollars and this was driving the million-dollar property market, especially in places like Buderim and Mooloolaba. Thanks to our soaring dollar, this trend has almost stopped. With construction and tourism down on the Coast we don’t have a large volume of wealthy locals to fill that gap – hence the large drop in prices in the top end in the past 18 months. Another change is the reduced number of buyers moving up from Melbourne and Sydney since the GFC. In 2001, families could sell up in Sydney with a median house price of $315,000 and buy in Maroochydore for $159,000. In 2009, Sydney’s median price was $569,000 and Maroochydore’s median was $440,000 – not such a significant price difference anymore. The good news is that we didn’t get the housing boom the southern cities have just experienced. My prediction in 2011 is that we will see more southern buyers migrate into our market. This volume won’t increase prices but it will keep the market ticking over at similar rates to 2010. The bad news is that our cashed-up overseas buyers will be some years away as many parts of Europe are threatened by a double-dip GFC. Therefore, the top end will recover on the back of stronger overseas economies. The real blue-chip properties will be purchased out of the mining industry as it continues to boom. The construction industry underpins our local economy and there are too many tradespeople having to travel outside the area for work. If our local council can make some positive town-planning decisions on large projects like the airport upgrade, the Big Top and the Horton Park relocation, our market will begin to recover towards the latter part of 2011.

n the the property prop pr oper erty ty market mar arke kett in most mos ostt areas, area ar eass wee can expect almost a repeat of last year’s market and condition – relatively low levels of turnover compared with a few years ago, but without major decline. Most sectors of the market are not significantly oversupplied (and indeed, some remain in relatively short supply). In those markets, there is no reason to suggest there would be many sellers who would be forced to quick sale. Residential markets are typically ‘sticky’ – they are quite quick to rise when confidence is high and the market becomes heated but tends to hold when the markets are quiet as vendors will tend to simply withdraw from the market rather than take what they see as a less than optimum price. Having said that, there are regions nearby, such as Hervey Bay, that appear to have some significant oversupply issues and this may result in downward price pressure there. The global financial crisis has severely shaken confidence and while Australia and regions such as the Sunshine Coast have avoided the worst of it so far, levels of confidence are low overall, as retail sales levels also indicate. For the reasons outlined above, the prognosis is patchy and it will increasingly be a buyers’ market but not radically so. As usual, the fundamentals of property – quality, good location, the importance of cashflow and a relationship between price and earnings – remain critical. All should be careful not to financially over-extend in the hopes of quick capital gains. Luxury and mid markets will always be diverse and difficult to forecast but in general, capital growth will be slow at best and may, in fact, fall back a little. Real property, however, is a long-term investment and as long as that is kept in mind, rolling through fluctuations should not be an issue, except for those who are over-stretched and perhaps became too exuberant in the markets a few years ago. In terms of what investors are doing, as noted above, confidence will remain subdued and the Reserve Bank of Australia still believes that monetary policy probably needs some additional increase – though no one would know the level of increase in wholesale rates to maintain long-term balance, given the volatile world financial markets where interest rates are really set. It needs to be remembered that it is not only interest rates at a retail/domestic property level that are important but also the longer-term impact on development and holding charges that will have a flow-on effect on affordability over time. The Reserve Bank started the year with

18 My Property Preview | December 29, 2010

Page 18.indd 1

a succession of rate rises before easing off and while interest rates may rise a little more, they are at least reasonably predictable and appear, through Reserve Bank management, to be much less volatile than has been the case in Australia over decades past. For most borrowers, ‘locking in’ interest rates on loans may be of limited real value. It does provide some greater level of certainty but the banks are better able to predict markets than individual borrowers. It is doubted that the current attention on bank competitiveness will have much of an impact on individual borrowers, particularly in the short term. For those looking to buy property on the Sunshine Coast, remember that purchasing property is a major investment and always take your time, do your homework and take

A change in direction RP Data national research director Tim Lawless offers his outlook for the coming year. ustralia’s l ’ housing h market k changed h d direction in July 2010 with capital growth grinding to a halt after 17 months of consecutive growth. Over the 18 months to June 2010, home values in the combined capital cities of Australia increased by 18.5 per cent after values fell by 3.8 per cent during 2008. Over the September quarter of 2010, capital city home values fell by -0.4 per cent, indicating a reasonably soft landing following the strong growth conditions over the previous year-and-a-half. This slowdown in market conditions was brought about by a number of factors. The most significant was higher interest rates with the Reserve Bank of Australia embarking on a cycle of tighter interest rates from October 2009 to May 2010 where rates were lifted by 150 basis points during this period. Another factor that worked to slow market conditions was the winding back of the boost to the First Home Owner Grant, which was halved in October 2009 and wound back entirely in January 2010. Additionally, the general wind-down in the market cycle was at play. The high rates of capital growth between January 2009 and June 2010 could not have been sustained. As interest rates rose, affordability constraints became a greater barrier for buyers and demand began to fall. Moving into 2011, it is likely that vendor expectations will need to adjust to the new market conditions. Homes are going to take longer to sell and buyers will be negotiating harder in 2011 than they were in 2009 and the first half of 2010. A variety of indicators suggests that market condition will continue to transition in favour of buyers. The average time it takes to sell a house across the capital cities has increased from 45 days in September 2009 to 47 days in September 2010 and the average level of vendor discounting has increased from 4.9 to 5.9 per cent over the year to September 2010. These two factors provide the best indicator that buyers are becoming more empowered and vendors are losing some of their leverage in the market. Despite the fact that the Australian housing market has moved out of the growth phase, this downturn is not likely to result in any material declines in home values. The base level fundamentals remain very strong. The good news is that Australia continues to record strong population growth. Overseas migration to Australia appears to have peaked, however, total population growth remains well above average and the rate of population growth (1.8 per cent per annum) is amongst the

highest of any OECD nation. Such a high rate of population growth will continue to create a high level of demand for Australian housing. Coupled with the fact that, as a nation, Australia is building too few dwellings, the under-supply of housing is not likely to be corrected any time soon despite the recent peak in population growth. Strong economic conditions and consumer confidence are also likely to underpin the Australian housing market. The unemployment rate, at 5.1 per cent in September 2010, is trending downwards towards ‘full’ employment and Australia’s economy is projected to grow by more than

three per cent during 2011. Both factors will be a strong influence of consumer confidence, which is likely to remain high during 2011. While capital growth is trending out of the housing market, rental rates are starting to show some upwards pressure. Weekly rents softened during 2009 as a large number of renters decided to take advantage of the historically low interest rates and Government incentives, and purchase a home rather than rent. Since peaking in mid 2009, first-home buyers have fallen back to about 15 per cent of the overall owneroccupier market. The fall away in first-time buyer numbers is now being reflected in increased rental demand that is starting to cause rents to move upwards again.

Despite the fact that the Australian housing market has moved out of the

growth

phase, this downturn is not likely to result in any material declines in home values

Over 2011, it is likely rental growth will at least move back to the historic average of six and eight per cent year on year. That’s great news for investors, but not so great for renters. The improving rental market is also likely to cause rental yields to improve for investors. As capital gains outpaced rental markets in 2009 and the first half of 2010, rental yields were sharply eroded. We are now seeing the first signs of yield improvement, which is likely to provide further encouragement for investors looking to strategically position themselves in the market. In summary, the Australian housing market is likely to remain reasonably steady over the coming year. Factors such as higher interest rates and housing affordability will continue to dampen market conditions. In balance, the Australian economy, which is characterised by robust economic growth and a labour market approaching capacity that will fuel wages growth, will continue to underpin demand for housing both from a rental and purchase perspective.

Going up, but slowly MPP takes a look at the hard data on Coast property prices. unshine h Coast C houses h have h recorded subdued growth of 4.8 per cent over the 12 months to September 2010, however, they have recorded superior price growth of 11.6 per cent during the last decade. Units in the region have recorded price growth of seven per cent over the past 12 months, but they have recorded stronger growth of 8.9 per cent during the past decade. Houses recorded a previous peak in prices during the 12 months to October 2008 when the median house price was $483,500. The highest house price of $487,500 is just 0.8 per cent higher than the previous peak recorded in October 2008. Units recorded their historic highest price recently during the 12 months to August 2010, when the median unit price was $375,000. The Sunshine Coast recorded 7581 house and unit sales during the last 12 months, which is well below the 10-year

average of 11,552 sales. Sales volumes recorded a moderate increase within the past 12 months, but they have remained below average since June 2008. There’s been a slight increase in vendor discounting for units and houses over the past 12 months, suggesting vendors are having to make further reductions in order to sell. On a positive note, the number of days for a vendor to sell his or her property has decreased over the past 12 months, suggesting there maybe more buyers in the region. Although the property market has surpassed pre-GFC prices, it appears to have entered a subdued growth phase, particularly within tourist and coastal destinations. It’s anticipated that there will be minimal price growth over the festive season as the property market continues to slow down, however, as interest returns to the region, modest rental growth and some upward price pressures may be expected.

Looking back at a difficult year Propell National Valuers company research director Aaron Parker talks commercial property. rom a valuation perspective, 2010 was a difficult year for many in the commercial world. The year started off with the promise of an improvement in values after a reasonable end to 2009, but it soon became apparent that there was still some carry-over pain from the GFC to be experienced, and from about March onwards the commercial scene started to slow down. Valuation figures trended down to end up about 10 per cent lower on average at the end of 2010. This was on top of similar reductions throughout the beginning of 2009 with a slight uplift at the end of 2009. At the end of 2010 there is some tightening in yields on prime strip retail properties, well-located office premises, and a few high-tech industrial premises but in the main, yields have either maintained their 2009 levels or in the cases of secondary properties, increased, lowering the market values. The Sunshine Coast commercial market is in a state of flux and is being deeply affected by the lack of industry in the area. Of the four main drivers to our economy, only one of them is performing adequately. The health arena is going through a growth stage but the building and tourism industries are languishing, with the retail industry holding a tight line. The building industry in particular is so important to this area because of the flow-on effect to other industries. The overall effect is a market environment that lacks momentum. This, combined with tight finance procedures and rising costs across both personal and business expenditures, has caused the market to fall into a holding pattern. This can present opportunities to well-positioned investors or owner-occupiers if they are finance ready, but it presents a difficult situation for developers. Sales and leasing activity for the year was largely centred around industrial sales and retail leases. Most of the sales activity took place in the earlier months with a slight surge just before the June end-of-year. After that, activity slowed, but it was still industrial sales that led the way. This is a good sign going into 2011 as industrial activity is usually the precursor to economic growth in an area. The only downside was that the majority of sales were owner-occupiers and not national or multi-national companies, the latter of which tend to create higher employment numbers. But there is still plenty of scope for the Coast to attract these types of businesses, particularly in the Coolum Beach and Caloundra industrial parks. The lift in retail leasing is another good sign for 2011 as it indicates a level of confidence about sustainable profit growth. This is further emphasised with Aldi developing its complex on Aerodrome Road,

Maroochydore, which is due to open soon, and the influx of operators opening premises along Maroochy Boulevard. The tightly held retail environment in Hastings Street at Noosa Heads is also another indication that retailers see an upside to the future. The sale of development land along Aerodrome Road was another feature of the year, as was a number of larger site sales such as the 7-Eleven service station and the old Hathi building, which is now being re-developed,

Office activity in both sales and leasing was the hardest hit throughout 2010 with secondary product in particular languishing and yields blowing out to above nine per cent in many cases.

arena with product that sold for $400,000 in 2007-2008 going for $265,000 recently. While this was not typical of the year, it highlights the difficulty faced with this product type at present. Office product always suffers in a downturn as businesses close and clientele falls away while overheads remain high. Many office units and buildings that were advertised for sale or lease at the beginning of the year are still unsold or vacant and that includes some of the prime-positioned offices in the main CBDs. This situation should improve in 2011, albeit slowly, as supporting businesses open up to accommodate the increase in industrial activity. A problem is likely to exist with oversupply in the first half of the year, however. Of note for 2010 was the construction of the new government office building in First Avenue Maroochydore and La Balsa in Brisbane Road, Mooloolaba as well as site sales in Tewantin, Noosa and Caloundra. While the government building will not add to the sales or leasing pool, La Balsa will and there has already been a number of sales and leases take place. These new buildings, along with the Corporate Centre in Norval Court, the office component of the soon-tocommence Emporio development and recent developments in the Birtinya/Kawana area, may cause the office market to struggle in the beginning of 2011 as supply is absorbed. Pre-committed levels are high, however, and vacancy rates should begin lowering

as the year progresses. Rents are expected to rise only slightly and not until the second quarter at least. Likewise, the Kawana area should have the same experience, albeit the vacancy rate will remain higher than the CBD areas for a longer period. Ultimately, the sales and leasing activity in the Kawana area should increase as the area matures and the hospital development begins to roll out, but for the short term, the level of incentives will increase to attract buyers and tenants to the area, despite having some of the most modern buildings available, such as The Edge, which offers full green-star rating. Other areas of activity where a number of valuations took place was along the Blackall Range. Tourist-related properties changed hands and many owners undertook valuations in preparation for placing their property on the market. But a lot of these didn’t sell and the area experienced an increasing

when going to the market. In 2011 there will be more of the same as capital growth opportunities seem a distant memory. What is promising for purchasers at the moment, however, is the fact that many properties are now available below current replacement costs, which will leave plenty

of upside as capital growth returns in the future. But in the meantime, as it always is with commercial property, it’s income that is the key and those owners who have an active role to play in their tenants well-being will come out the other side of 2011 in the best possible shape.

A natural market REIQ Sunshine Coast chair Brett Graham looks ahead to 2011. Eric Werne, RE/MAX Caloundra he thing we’ve learned since mid 2008 is that there are no experts and we should rely on our own judgement. But it does seem that the further we move away from the GFC, the better everyone will feel. We should see some improvement in 2011 following a challenging couple of years. While the market activity generally deteriorated during the year, a little spark arose towards the end of 2010. In 2011 more first-home buyers should return to the market following a hiatus after the withdrawal of the Federal Government’s stimulus package. Investors have been waiting, trying to pick the bottom of the market, but now seem to be dipping their toes in the water. Enquiry for top-end property has also increased. The indications are that interest rates will rise during the year ahead. This may not have the detrimental effect on the market that the media usually portrays – consumer confidence is the bigger issue. Buyers entering the market seem more concerned about future security of income. Interest rates will go up and down as they always have and I think most buyers know that. Questions like, how safe is my job and how is the economy travelling are more important than what interest rates are now. Australia’s economy is in good shape, unemployment is low and while the stock market fluctuates, as it always has, it does seem to have stabilised. Next year will be relatively flat for the first half but we may see some growth in the second half of the year. When activity does increase it will be interesting to see what develops. There will be some pent-up demand, particularly from investors. Demand for residential rental properties is high and our office is running at 95 per cent occupancy. Increased demand has helped increase the rental returns, but quality tenants are discerning about the standard of the property they reside in. In the end, whether it is a flat, falling or rising market, properties do sell and if you’re selling and buying in the same market, you can use this to your advantage.

no intention or planning a move that feel the affect of rate rises the most. They are the ones who question their ability to hold on. On the Coast we need a 12-month period without another rise so we can stabilise our market prices even further and allow our property owners, tenant and business owners to bring stability into their day-to-day decisions. In 2011, turnover will be the key. If the turnover increases and the demand for property escalates, property prices will rise. Stock levels at the moment will allow for a about six months of higher turnover before any shortage occurs and prices begin to rise.

“

Investors and home buyers are looking for stability in interest rates in 2011. Any talk of another rise will spook their decisions and may cause some property owners to sell, which will cause overstocking in the market and flat sale prices

“

010 was a year that began dominated by the Federal Government stimulus package directed towards first-home buyers. But as soon as these artificial measures were withdrawn from the market, the Sunshine Coast returned to the most ‘natural’ market we have seen for years. For once there was real definition across all price ranges. There was no more rush by first-home buyers and all price ranges settled down to normality. In all suburbs there was buyer activity and there were no stand-out hotspots across the Coast. Houses, units and land all experienced their fair share of sales. 2010 was a year that became free of market forces (such as stimulus packages) and we settled into ‘natural’ market determined by the buyer and sellers. Buyers, as a result of what was mentioned above, have plenty of choice today. They can choose across a variety of suburbs, across a variety of price ranges and product. Choice will be their best ally. Sellers will have to be more patient. Days on the market have increased but if sellers choose the correct agent who is prepared to work hard, a sale well under 50 days is achievable. Investors in the local market again have plenty of choice and most rental departments are reporting very low vacancy rates. Rents are stable at the moment but good returns are available. The last interest rate rise on Melbourne Cup day in 2010 was tragic for Sunshine Coast. Although some areas of Australia may have been able to absorb the rise, the Sunshine Coast just did not need it at that time. It is not so much those looking at buying or those looking at selling that interest rises affect. It is those who have no intention of selling in the immediate future, or those with small businesses trying to make a living. Current buyers and sellers can make a decision very quickly on any rise in rates. It is those families and business people who have

January and February will determine the rest of 2011. If these months show a sudden burst of activity and this continues to the middle of the year, we will have a shortage of stock by the end of 2011 and prices will rise. Investors and home buyers alike are looking for stability in interest rates in 2011. Any talk of another rise will spook their decisions and may cause some property owners to sell, which will cause overstocking in the market and flat sale prices. Cashed-up investors are seeing it as a good time. Would-be investors are consolidating their current assets to make sure when they enter the market they can do it safely.

My Property Preview online Stay informed about Coast property and find your dream home, all at the click of a button. Geoff Ohmsen, Platinum Properties Sunshine Coast here are buyers out there if you are a seller prepared to meet the market. While there are purchasers out there, they have several legitimate concerns about the direction of the market. Until these issues are resolved, they will continue to hold off. Buyers are taking longer to make decisions on the property front given the Queensland market is now locked into the current malaise until the state and local elections in early 2012. Assuming full-time jobs are created, firsthome buyers don’t sell en masse and interest rates don’t rise too much, I would expect our market to move sideways throughout 2011 with a very small trend upwards in certain historical growth areas. What did come out of left field was the higher than usual numbers of empty nesters moving out of the family home and into well-finished unit complexes that are close to all amenities, giving them flexibility and the ability to lock up and travel overseas given the Australian dollar achieved parity with the US dollar in November 2010. Some industry experts believe we are at the bottom of the market, but I am leaning towards a sideways movement for the next 12 months, especially if things don’t improve with Local and State government planning to ensure mid- to longterm growth for our core industry and developers.

010 was a whirlwind 010 hi l i d year marked k d with success for My Property Preview. In February the magazine won the coveted Real Estate Institute of Queensland ‘Best Real Estate Report’ for 2010, while the latter part of the year was dedicated to creating an extensive and highly comprehensive website like nothing the Coast had ever seen before.

If it’s a home in Buderim Meadows or Woodgrove estate you’re after, or if you need to be close to a particular school or amenity, you have the provision to customise your search so you don’t have to sift through thousands of inappropriate listings. In fact, this site can also notify you of any new listings that are uploaded that match your search criteria and will send a notification text message straight to your phone should you wish.

It’s one way to stay informed about everything real estate on the Sunshine Coast – as there are thousands of properties online – from Bribie Island to Noosa and everywhere in between.

Over to the island

Australand unveils a new display home at Ivadale Lakes.

New homes are now open at the Birtinya display centre.

ustraland has unveiled a superb display home at its $160 million Ivadale Lakes at Caloundra. The home has three bedrooms and a study and gives potential purchasers the opportunity to see why Ivadale Lakes is one of Caloundra’s best-selling estates. Australand’s general manager, Queensland Residential Division, Richard Fulcher says the display home was designed to reflect the quality and innovative designs offered at Ivadale Lakes and ignite the imagination of potential purchasers. To date, Ivadale Lakes has achieved sales in excess of $100 million which includes more than 450 lots. Richard says Ivadale Lakes was designed to integrate with the natural bushland. “Australand made a conscious effort to work with the environment, which has resulted in the equivalent of 40 football fields being retained as parks, open areas and waterways, as well as the majority of mature trees which

irtinya will launch the Sunshine Coast’s latest display centre in 2011, which will eventually showcase 24 new homes from some of Queensland’s best-known builders. Several homes in the planned Birtinya Living Display Centre are already complete and open for inspection during the holiday period. Birtinya is one of the Coast’s last island communities, located on the southern shores of Lake Kawana adjacent to the future Kawana town centre and hospital, and within walking distance of the beach. The community was first launched in early 2010 and offers a variety of high-quality home sites set among landscaped green spaces. The Birtinya Living Display Centre is right next door to the sales and information office on Regatta Boulevard and will feature 24 homes from 17 builders, including several new efficient home designs for blocks

beautiful and affordable homes in a variety of qualities and styles for every budget. Burns Builders sales manager Russell Thompson says it is a “myth” that building on elevated sites costs significantly more than building on traditional slab-on-ground lots. “The cost of building a high-set home on an elevated block compared to slab on ground is very, very comparable,” he says. “Burns Builders can build affordable homes on elevated sites for $1000 and less per square metre.” Russell says split-level homes are perfect for elevated sites. Jeff Hilditch, managing director of Eco System Homes, says his company can build modern, environmentally friendly Queenslander-style homes on elevated sites designed to suit the Sunshine Coast lifestyle at an affordable price. “We can build a three-bedroom, twobathroom home with decks on a elevated site for under $200,000, and we can build it in 12 weeks instead of 26,” Jeff says.

DesignBuild Homes project consultant Sarah Rutherford says the most effective solution on elevated sites is to design the structure to work with the terrain. That means creating steps within the dwelling to minimise massive earthworks and at the same time creating a living aspect towards the fall of the land. “Building on an elevated site usually entails suspended timber floors off the ground,” Sarah says. “The only slab on ground would normally be the garage and the entry. The suspended floor may be a little bit more expensive, but it is offset by lower earthworks costs. “Historically, elevated sites have more panoramic and overlooking views for the property owner to enjoy.” “We have some fabulous examples within the estate and floor plans and images of unique homes in our sales office,” says Plantation Rise sales manager Gail Hunter.

f you have h b been d driving i i along l Maroochy M h Boulevard recently, you would have noticed the hive of builder activity out on site at Sunshine Cove. Since late October, many local builders have been busy with the commencement of numerous homes within Sunshine Cove’s first residential release, the Moreton Precinct. Sunshine Cove’s first land release features terrace, laneway and villa-type allotments and many builders are now showcasing the numerous benefits and opportunities these smaller lots bring (most homes range from 190 to 330 square metres. In addition to the homes under construction, you will notice the recently completed timber boardwalk overlooking the lake at Sunshine Cove. It is hard to believe that you’re actually in the heart of Maroochydore when you meander along the boardwalk with Sunshine Plaza and the commercial precinct in Carnaby Street clearly visible. All just a few minutes’ walk away. Strolling through the Moreton Precinct, you quickly get a feel for the quality and innovation that this unique development is achieving. When you consider the lifestyle, the price (allotments are still available at $226,675) and the freehold opportunity within the Maroochydore CBD, it is little wonder Sunshine Cove has grabbed the attention of so many families and investors. With building covenants providing a clear and concise direction along with the flexibility to make your home work perfectly for you, and the recent amendments to sustainable building practices, an array of functional, efficient and very attractive homes are now being built. Builders such as Ausmar Homes, Dwyer Quality Homes, Cosmopolitan Living, GJ Gardner Homes and Adenbrook are speaking with buyers.

feature nearly 54 allotments, with more than half of those being the first water release in Sunshine Cove. Chardan will also focus on the commencement of the large community park, incorporating barbecue facilities, jetties over the water, a playground, toilet facilities and car park, all within a landscaped environment. The major road network around the peninsula, which in time will link the future residential precincts to Maroochy Boulevard, will also be completed soon. During the later part of the year Chardan is also expecting to commence construction of the southern boardwalk, further enhancing the spectacular views that greet all visitors to Maroochydore.

Community partner activity includes the eagerly awaited commencement of the Harvey Norman super store, touted for February/March and the construction of Emporio by the Reed Property Group. Mazda Sunshine Coast is also eagerly awaiting the fulfilment of its company’s intention to be open and operational in the new showroom on the corner of Maroochy Boulevard and Sunshine Cove Way within the next 12 months. With such a hive of activity, over the next five to seven years the Sunshine Cove community will emerge as the Sunshine Coast’s most influential urban development. The Sunshine Cove sales team is available on site six days a week at the sales office situated on Sunshine Cove Way.

idges d Peregian Springs is in the h midst d of an $18 million transformation with the construction of new home sites, and community and recreational facilities, creating a hive of activity at the Sunshine Coast address. Contracts totalling more than $5 million have been issued on 21 home sites since October. The strong enquiry has led to the construction of new stages in the Ridges’ East Rise precinct being brought forward. The eagerly awaited recreation club is on its way to becoming a central feature of the community. Work is now underway on a 25-metre eight-lane pool, a heated beach-edge pool, gymnasium, tennis courts, conference room and an alfresco dining area. FKP executive general manager of residential communities Evian Delfabbro says initial works had started on the rec club, which would be the social heart of the community.

“Just like the 18-hole golf course in neighbouring Peregian Springs, the sports ground will be a sweeping open space around which the community will be formed. “The $17.8 million in works underway at Ridges Peregian Springs will deliver additions that will re-define Sunshine Coast living.”

FKP has made a considerable effort to ensure the facilities meet and exceed the expectations of the community. Buyers in the East Rise release have been drawn by the array of opportunities to suit budgets, with purchased lots from $210,000 to $282,000. The home sites

range from 450 to 818 square metres and are elevated to make the most of natural sunlight and sea breezes. For more information about Peregian Springs or Ridges visit www.peregiansprings.com.au or phone 1800 753 799.

All Kula beach homes feature high ceilings, timber floors, spacious entertaining decks screened for sun, shading and privacy, one or two car spaces plus private terraces or courtyards. Kula offers a centrally located 20-metre lap pool, which includes a barbecue and recreation area for gatherings or relaxation. Kula also offers an onsite manager to take care of the maintenance, making the homes in it the perfect weekenders. A walk along an uncrowded beach, an afternoon of fishing and boating, or a round of golf under bright blue skies is all on offer to buyers of Kula beach homes. Kula is within a 10-minute drive of four 18-hole golf courses including Twin Waters, Hyatt Coolum, Mount Coolum and Peregian Springs. “Kula is located in a quiet area, yet a very convenient spot on the Sunshine Coast,” Adam says. “The homes are close to shops, the airport and have good access from the highway.”

PRDnationwide project marketing agent Nathan Larsen says there is a definite market for luxury beach home developments, particularly since the global financial crisis, which caused the termination of many luxury projects along the Coast. “The Kula concept is different to anything else on the Coast,” Nathan says. “This is because the numerous architects working on this project have developed reasonably priced, uniquely designed beach houses so close to the beach. “Kula is a prime project in a prime position and this, coupled with value, will always sell. A number of buyers have purchased Kula beach homes as weekenders and others have purchased as an investment.” Stage one is selling now.

Last chance at Bellflower Next year will mark the completion of the Bellflower community with the final release of land.

he previous 12 months have been patchy at best with the first-home buyer almost nonexistent, due to the reduction of the government subsidy. The medium-level market has also been slow with prices levelling and in some cases dropping. The level hardest hit is the luxury market, both in houses and units, where in some cases there have been significant price reductions. Over the past five years we have seen the median unit price increase from $332,000 in 2005 to $375,000 in 2010, and median house prices increase from $390,000 to $485,000. The most recent RP DataRismark Home Value Index shows Australian dwelling values were up 0.3 per cent in seasonally adjusted terms during October, and predicts residential property to be fairly sedate over the coming months. The RP Data quarterly review has shown the holding period for property has significantly increased on houses from 5.6 years in 2005 to 7.4 years in 2010 and units from 4.8 years in 2005 to 6.9 years in 2010. 2011 will commence as a buyers’ market due to the number of properties on the market and the slow turnover rate. Prices will remain flat over the first quarter and, depending on what the Reserve Bank does with interest rates, may remain flat. If that is not enough to make the market uncertain, there are the big four banks, likely to make decisions to increase interest rates independent of the Reserve Bank. If they do increase rates, it will slow the market even further.

The positives to 2011 are: 1. Initially it will be a buyers’ market and it is a very good time to buy. 2. If a vendor has a reasonable offer on their property, consider it very seriously as the buyer is showing good interest in the property and has searched the market thoroughly. 3. If better-priced properties sell it will reduce the number of properties on the market and put an upward pressure on prices, which is good for vendors in the long term.

as we finally realise our initial goal of providing a truly sustainable residential development on the Sunshine Coast. “Bellflower was never a project that simply focused on selling off house and land packages. There was a clear and unwavering focus on developing a new

community that offered buyers a naturally sustainable, active, affordable and friendly place to live. I’m sure our residents would agree we have achieved this. “Bellflower has always been a popular choice for residents in the local catchment area. Most of our residents

More facilities needed Parklakes community research identifies the desires of families on the Sunshine Coast. unshine Coast residents taking part in a major research survey have identified a range of community facilities and needs within growing communities that developers could provide if approved by the council. Master-planned community developer Parklakes at Bli Bli undertook almost eight months of interactive research from March this year with local residents from as far as Noosa to Pelican Waters, seeking input about the kinds of facilities local families would like to see included in future plans for the community’s expansion. Responses showed that generally people love living at the Sunshine Coast, but believe developers and the council could work more closely to deliver needed facilities, as well as affordable housing options. Parklakes residents identified several needs for Bli Bli, including a public pool, outdoor fitness resources, lawn bowls, more public toilets and street parking. Feedback suggested that: • 77.7 per cent of people want an Olympic-sized pool in the second sports complex.

fter five years of creating one of the Sunshine Coast’s leading residential communities, Investa Property Group’s award-winning Bellflower should be completed in 2011. The residential community, in Sippy Downs, has been an attractive option for young families and young professional couples since the development began in 2005. The final piece in the puzzle is the recent release of Bellflower’s last allocation of available land, 30 per cent of which is already sold. The final sale of the lots will mark the completion of the community, which will have more than 400 homes and 800 residents. Queensland Investa land general manager Bruce Harper says 2010 was a steady year for the local team and he is looking forward to 2011. “2010 marked a year that saw us meeting a number of key milestones,” he says. “We’ll continue that trend in 2011

• 55.6 per cent want lawn bowls to be included in the sports complex. • 27.7 per cent highlighted the lack of parking options on streets as an area of concern. Follow-up research found people also want purpose-built facilities including tennis, basketball and netball courts and a gymnasium for public access. There was overwhelming feedback indicating a need for an education facility that provided secondary education for residents around Bli Bli, Maroochy River and Dunethin Rock. The results of the feedback will be considered for the proposed expansion

plans for Parklakes – the residential community, located off Yandina-Bli Bli Road, will expand west to provide affordable housing options, a series of networked community and sporting facilities, and around 32 hectares of green, open space. The planned expansion is designed to blend with the existing community at Parklakes via the upgraded spine road, Camp Flat Road, and link in with the current network of lakes and six kilometres of walking and bike paths. Parklakes project spokesperson Rob Midgley says the expanded area will cover about 94 hectares. “We have worked with Sunshine Coast residents to ensure their feedback about what they would like to see built locally is heard and put before council to decide upon in an informed way,” Rob says. “Since Parklakes first began in early 2003, we have provided a range of affordable housing options among natural forest and open parklands for many families and first-home buyers. “The proposed plans for expansion will deliver more highly affordable opportunities for Sunshine Coast residents to own their own home and

For more information call Bellflower on 1800 550 240 or 0419 486 540.

live close to major amenities. Based on the survey findings, our proposed plans include a second sporting and community facility, which could house an Olympicsized swimming pool, lawn bowls and multipurpose courts – to eventually be handed over to the community. We thank everyone who took part in the survey and provided us with their thoughts.” The proposed expansion plans also include road upgrades, upgraded entrances and intersections, locations for bus stops, innovative stormwater treatment, extensive revegetation and protection of existing flora, and extending the networks of open spaces, walkways and bike paths. Rob says most of the site’s existing vegetation and the regional ecosystem will remain untouched as part of the development’s commitment to the natural beauty of the area. The survey was carried out at community workshops, community meetings, via local newspapers and letter box drops and at the recent launch of the Parklakes new multimillion-dollar sports complex in September.

future generations can enjoy their own regular house lot in a tree-filled, park-like, private environment. An added attraction is that the Sanctuary Grove subdivision is anchored by the original Sanctuary House, which sits on a three-quarteracre lot. The 800-square metre home was built 20 years ago for a large local family. The developer is faithfully renovating and restoring the home and will offer it for sale.

benefit from having such a high-quality neighbour. The majority of lot buyers have expressed an interest in building homes that will be above average, and they are also committed to longer term occupation to take advantage of the proximity to schools that in some cases their children currently attend. Bicycle and walking paths serve all local amenities. With the planned commencement of the Sippy Downs town centre not far off, Sanctuary Grove is very desirably located. Further appeal expressed by buyers is the opportunity to secure their next home location by buying off the plan and not settling until early to mid 2011, allowing plenty of time to make the transition and sell their current homes. All the lots are basically flat and allow the home owner great flexibility in design while staying within the intended overall quality feel. This ensures long-term investment growth. With remaining lots averaging 729 square metres, now is the perfect time to secure the last of these magnificent blocks. Only six blocks, priced from $315,000, remain. Quality allotments such as these mean Buderim will continue to provide property owners with excellent returns on their investment. Flat home sites located in this precinct and with such easy access to so much locally are becoming very hard to find. Phone Jared Young on 0409 544 470 for more information.

The four-bedroom home offers 19 metres of north-east-facing waterfrontage in Mooloolaba and so has drawn a number of savvy potential investors, with Alvia saying she’s currently working with three interested parties from the auction.

the Sunshine Coast and despite many publicised ‘fast-tracked’ new projects, these are still a minimum of 12 to 18 months away. This means that in 2011, many of the current challenges remain. This will keep land prices steady and on the increase, and demand in popular estates regularly outstripping supply. The cost of building a new house will remain steady with some slight increases in build prices. This is the flow-on from the price of doing business that continues to rise. With materials sourced from a huge variety of suppliers and contractors, to achieve any significant reduction in

prices on houses is near impossible, especially with the small margins that most builders have to work with. As a result land is the only area where true savings can be achieved for markets like the first-home buyer. But as with the cost of building a home, the cost of developing land now comes with many government regulations, some good and bad, which all adds to the price for the consumer. The only way to keep the price of land low, and in turn that of new homes, is with the trend that we are seeing of smaller block sizes. Expect in 2011 to see the small villa and courtyard block

sizes become the norm. This will be particularly relevant in areas where the demand for property is high, such as being near good services. Because the Coast is a great place to live, the challenges we have faced recently won’t be going away soon. The benefit of this to customers is that we continue to look at ways to improve our service and product to meet the current market demand. And with the real estate and new home industry on the Coast being one of the best in Australia, together we can face these challenges in 2011 for the benefit of all.

A year in review by Pauline Clayton

The hinterland property market had a challenging 2010. raig Heppell of Victor Realty Nambour says it gently but the message is clear. “2010 has seen one of the most challenging years the Sunshine Coast hinterland property market has seen in a decade.” Len Geary from Day & Grimes in Nambour agrees. “This year since April has been terribly slow. Vendors are dismayed at the lack of interest in what is usually one of our busiest periods.” Considering he is associated with one of – if not the oldest – established agencies in the region (Day & Grimes celebrates 75 years in 2011), Len is well experienced to make such an assessment. “The Reserve Bank spooked the market by increasing interest rates right before Christmas, but other factors were well established before then,” Len says. “The scaling back of the First Home Owner Grant had a severe impact on the sale of new houses and on building, in fact, on the property market generally. Then the Federal Government handouts created a false market, and as there will be no more

www.mypropertypreview.com.au

Page 81.indd 1

handouts, the question is, where do we go from here?” And Len believes the worst is yet to come. “I think next year will be the test,” he says. Craig is one to always see a positive side and he believes that experience shows well-priced homes offering good value for money will continue to sell right through 2011. “Yes, we are experiencing a buyers’ market, however, realistic sellers who are represented by highly skilled, enthusiastic and established property professionals are obtaining very good results. Bring on 2011 – we can’t wait.” Mike Burns at Elders Palmwoods has introduced additional services to his agency, which are paying dividends. “We have in our office Monday to Friday, our Elders home loan advisor, Dom Fry,” Mike says. “He is such an important factor in the buying and selling process and he has helped many, many clients find better products, save money or simply be reassured that they have the best product to suit their needs.” Mike agrees the market has slowed

I believe next year will be similar to 2010 with

many ups and downs. Interest rates will continue to play an important role

considerably, but because there are plenty of properties on the market, more than this time last year, he says buyers are getting good results. “Mini acreage, lifestyle acreage and acreage with income is still attracting good enquiry,” Mike says. “Buyers are more savvy and the market is more aware than ever, but buyers are certainly looking for value and quality. “Those with young families are looking for quality of life and are anxious to get their children away from video games and out with the chooks and the vegie garden. “With acreage property, the most important features are water, aspect, soil and privacy. We have all of this and have had some good results through 2010. “I believe next year will be similar to 2010 with many ups and downs. Interest rates will continue to play an important role,” Mike says. Des Aston, from Maleny and Hinterland Real Estate, also looks on the bright side. He remembers continued over >

The scaling back of the First Home Owner Grant had a severe impact on the sale of new houses and on building, in fact on the property market generally

“

that when he first started out in the industry in 1996, he was told it was a quiet market. Des says it is quiet this year, and more so than in 1996. “Early in 2010 was good, but I have to say since then I have never seen it so quiet,” he says. “There are people looking and ready to buy, but they have to sell their existing place first. It isn’t just the hinterland, it is quiet in all other places, too. There’s no doubt the banks have been tightening up financing, particularly on rural property.” Des believes the market will adjust to the change and sellers have to acknowledge that the market value of their property is what a buyer can and will pay. Amanda Daniel is from Heart Realty. She is opening a new office at 12 Queen Street, Nambour, and is confident there are still good-quality properties available if you are prepared to look. “There are a significant number of Buderim owners looking for property in the Nambour region,” Amanda says. “They still want the character home but without the price tag of living in the recognised ‘popular’ areas. “We expect this trend to continue into 2011 as buyers are clearly looking for value

for their money, as well as lifestyle,” Amanda says. The agents’ views are supported by property consultant Michael Matusik, who recently told the ABC Radio National audience that 2010 was a hard year and he expected next year to be no different. “I would expect this market trend will continue until at least September 2011. “Housing here isn’t as affordable as it used to be,” Michael reported. His prediction is that 2011 will be a buyers’ market.

Set amidst landscaped tropical gardens, the home has ducted air-conditioning and was designed with the extended family in mind – the second bedroom has its own ensuite, walk-in robe and private sitting room. The master bedroom has a spacious ensuite, a private patio and courtyard, and there are two more bedrooms and a third bathroom downstairs. There is also an office or fifth bedroom at the entry. There are two living areas and a timber deck. The grassed acreage is cleared and has access from two roads.

Set on two acres of level and gently sloping land, this very impressive timber-finished home is filled with light and charming features. The home offers three huge bedrooms on the upper levels, a large fourth bedroom or office on the ground floor, bright kitchen with an abundance of cupboard space, two bathrooms including an ensuite off the master bedroom and an open-plan dining and lounge area. The light-filled, breezy deck overlooks the tropically set inground saltwater pool and there is a large downstairs rumpus/media room. The property also boasts a huge shed, double carport and a fenced rear paddock perfect for a horse.

Catch a ride and let the fare slide Public transport on the Coast will be free for the holidays. hee SSunshine h unshi hine C Coast oastt will ill llead ead dA Australia ustrali t lia with an innovative 15-day program of free holiday transport services. From Boxing Day to January 9, every public bus service on the Sunshine Coast, including Council Cabs and late New Year’s Eve services, will be free. Sunshine Coast Regional Council Integrated Transport Portfolio Holder Councillor Vivien Griffin says all services, including Sunbus and Glasshouse Country Coach services, Council Cabs and Flexilink, will be free for everyone, everywhere on the Coast. “The Sunshine Coast is renowned as a relaxed holiday destination, and we want our visitors and residents to enjoy a hassle-free time over the holiday break,” Vivien says. “Our free holiday transport service gives everyone the opportunity to hop on the bus and not worry about parking or sitting in traffic,” she says. “All services are free, no additional booking or special vouchers required, just use the service as normal and keep your money in your pocket. “And before anyone dismisses the idea because of service frequency or routes, they should check out the raft of new services that were launched on Monday December 13.”

Changes include: • Improvements to routes 600, 602, 613, 619, 620 and 622 • A permanent Sunshine Coast Airport service with a revised route 622 replacing the current shuttle • More weekend services for routes 600, 619 and 620

• New route between Maroochydore and Nambour (612) and a new route will operate between Maroochydore and Kawana (614). Vivien says these changes have been fast-tracked thanks to funding from the public transport levy. They are important to improving public transport on the Sunshine Coast. “Now the infrastructure has improved, we need to get people on the buses to show them how convenient the buses are,” Vivien says. “We’ve got lots of new ideas this year such as special free late-night services on New Year’s Eve, which enable residents and visitors to get home safely and keep drink drivers off the roads. Free New Year’s Eve services will operate between 6.30pm and 3am on routes 600, 620, 626 and 627. “There will also be a go-to team in operation over the free holiday bus period – this uniformed team of helpers will show people where to find information and to answer questions. “Each year, we find pressure on the car parks is relieved and congestion eased, and as this is the first time free services have been offered on all buses, we should see a real difference this year.” Free holiday bus timetables, booking information for Flexilink and Council Cab services is available at www. sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au and timetables can be picked up from all Sunshine Coast Council offices, libraries and visitor information centres.

influx of new properties to hit the market and resulted in prices declining slightly across all sectors of residential property sales. This year I have witnessed more people downsize than I can remember. Some of them are lifestyle choices, but the majority were cashing up to ease some financial pressure. By July, buyer confidence returned and the sales activity started to appear back to normal in the residential sector. Surprising when you consider we had a federal election imminent. At the beginning of spring there was a return in beachfront investment, which resulted

in an increase in sales in holiday units. The number of first-home buyers was down this year as the government grant was returned to the original $7000 limit. In the latter part of this year, investors have come back a lot stronger in numbers with a lot of them speculating that we are at the bottom of the market. My crystal ball for 2011 is a bit hazy. If the current sales activity continues the same as the last few months, it will be a steady and positive market next year. The banks are predicting for it to be a similar market as 2010. I believe it will all depend on interest rates. If the interest

rates rise only slightly, it will not affect the market greatly, however, consecutive rate rises like we saw in 2010 may cause a lack of confidence which will create uncertainty. The advice I regularly give to buyers is that the Sunshine Coast has experienced very good growth for many years and I believe there will be more growth in years to come. The Sunshine Coast market does not only offer buyers the chance for capital gains, it also offers a lifestyle which is a huge feature that many major cities simply cannot compete with.

Brightwater braces for building boom Mountain Creek’s Brightwater community is buzzing, with new homes and community facilities under construction. f frenzy off construction activity is forecast for Stockland’s highly popular Brightwater community at Mountain Creek in 2011. Besides the dozens of new homes currently underway, work is advancing

on the community’s centrepiece 12-hectare lake and planning for the future Brightwater town centre is also progressing. Brightwater is a large, master-planned community that is appealing to many

different buyer segments and attracting hundreds of new residents each year. Its central location is a major drawcard with easy access north and south and only minutes to the beach, major shopping centres and employment areas. The Brightwater town centre will offer important new lifestyle facilities for the community with surrounding developments and transport infrastructure encouraging people to live, work and play in the area. The town centre is expected to include a shopping centre and tavern. Plans are also in place for a child-care centre, more parks, a regional sports field, a bus route, future retirement living community and community-use facilities. The State Government will start work on a new prep to year seven school in early 2011 with the first students due to commence in 2012. The new Brightwater State School will help to

service the growing number of families now calling the community home. Stockland regional manager for the Sunshine Coast, Troy Wainwright, says Brightwater has attracted a wide range of new-home buyers, including young couples and families. “Access to a local school is one of the most important things for young families building a new home, so we’re very excited that Brightwater will soon have its own school,’’ Troy says. Brightwater has the Sunshine Coast’s biggest new home display centre, now showcasing 27 great designs from some of Queensland’s most successful builders. The latest land stage features a range of home sites from 350 to 674 square metres and priced from $238,000. For more information go to www.stockland.com.au/brightwater, phone 5444 1333 or visit the Brightwater Sales and Information Centre off Kawana Way at Mountain Creek.

cent of all buyers purchasing land under 1000 square metres in the hinterland region over the past 12 months. One of the main attractions has been Woodgrove’s proximity to the centre of Beerwah, which is fast becoming the principle hub town for shopping in the hinterland.

Beerwah’s current shopping includes Woolworths and IGA supermarkets, specialty stores, and takeaway outlets such as Eagle Boys, Subway and Dominos. Construction is also underway on a new centre featuring an Aldi discount store and around 12 additional specialty retailers. Besides its extensive local shopping, Beerwah is only 25 minutes from Sunshine Plaza shopping centre in Maroochydore. Woodgrove was launched in March 2008 but has already reached the final stage after strong demand for its conveniently located home sites surrounded by natural bushland. The community has attracted a wide variety of new residents ranging from first-home buyers to families upgrading their homes, and investors. Woodgrove features a central lake, parks with play equipment and barbecue, and walking paths. It also offers easy access to the train station and a host of sporting and leisure facilities including a public swimming

pool, skate park, playing fields, pony club and an 18-hole golf course. Child-care facilities and schools are within walking distance of the estate and the beach is only a 25-minute drive away. Stockland regional manager for the Sunshine Coast, Troy Wainwright, says the company has saved the best land for last at Woodgrove. “The final blocks are in a great location close to Coochin Creek and there is also a selection of completed brand new homes available right now,’’ Troy says. “All the work has already been done at Woodgrove so it’s just a case of moving in and enjoying the relaxed hinterland lifestyle on offer.’’ The final home sites at Woodgrove range from 571 square metres to 713 square metres and are priced from $194,000.

Making the move As more and more retirees choose to settle on the Coast, the region’s retirement villages and estates are continuing to appeal.

And it continues to grow. Trevor Holt from Caloundra Rise says there are a limited number of newly built homes from Stage 8B still available. “There are a couple left, but they’ll go fast.” He adds, “We are building another 27 units at the moment, which will be

he Sunshine Coast is constantly welcoming new residents to our beachside hubs, waterside suburbs and hinterland towns. The Coast has an appeal that not many other regions in the country can boast with beaches and rural villages, vibrant urban areas and relaxed open spaces. Always a popular destination for retirees, the Sunshine Coast has plenty of accommodation options for those moving into this phase of their lives. Caloundra Rise is one estate that has plenty to recommend it. Located between the Glass House Mountains and the beach, estate residents can enjoy fishing, shopping, dining, bushwalking and sight-seeing right from their doorsteps. Like many contemporary retirement estates, Caloundra Rise offers first-class accommodation and many facilities such as a community centre, pool and barbecue area, tennis court and shuttle bus, security and much more.
