There is certainly a lot of “noise� in our marketplace currently with talk of the bubble supposedly bursting. The truth is the rhetoric is not always accurate and it is important we consider what this means to our local residents. There is no question that some factors which are being highlighted are worthy of consideration. The market has been so strong for so long and it would not be a surprise to see a period of stability. I do believe however in the main, that if you were to read the news the market is about to crash. I cannot agree with the sentiment as the evidence does not point to this. One of the downsides to the negative press is that there can be somewhat of a placebo effect and it would be fair to say, we have had many buyers talking down the market. Our role is always to assist the vendors in getting the best possible price and so, while we may need to reallocate resources to focus more attention on a slightly smaller pool of buyers than what we saw at the peak of the market, this is something we will maintain as a priority.
year 2016/17, 61 sold for prices at or above the vendor’s expectations. A figure no other agent in our market place could come close to claiming. I share this not to brag but to assure you that if your property is in the right hands, the waters can be navigated effectively even if they become a little more challenging. We continue our support of the local community through our major sponsorship of the Castle Hill Bowling Club as well as local based charity Give & Take. We are always on the lookout to partner with groups in our community so, if you do know of any please feel free to contact us directly.

Auctions give a great indication of how a market is travelling. It is fair to say that some local agents have struggled of late with slipping success rates and on occasions cancelling auctions placing vendors interests in great danger. I am delighted to report that of the 63 on-site auctions submitted in the financial

The Joint Regional Planning Panel approved the much awaited redevelopment plans for Castle Towers in September last year. At the time, QIC Global Real Estate managing director Steven Leigh, said: “The new Castle Towers will be as much about lifestyle, recreation, entertainment, experiential events and dining as it will be an outstanding retail destination.� The transformation of the neighbourhood surrounding the future Castle Hill Station has already begun, with a number of major developments already begun or in advanced stages of planning approval. The redevelopment will increase the size Castle Towers by up to 80,000sqm and increase parking capacity to more than 8000 vehicles. Castle Towers already acts as the gravitational centre of the Castle Hill CBD, providing a significant retail, entertainment and employment hub for the region. Its redevelopment will only enhance that role, with an updated cinema complex, dining and retail areas, as well as creating an estimated 2373 jobs. The plaza to be built around the new metro station will be designed with pedestrian flow to and from Castle Towers in mind. Castle Towers is also expected to be designed to allow through pedestrian access at all times. Using licence-plate recognition to track parking without the need for a paper ticket means vehicles will not be required to stop on entry to wait for a ticket to be issued, ensuring entry and exit from the carpark will be quick and easy. When activated, parking will be free for the first three hours. Cinema patrons will also be able to access an additional hour of free parking after validation. Parking fees will start at $5 with timed rates up to maximum daily rate of $40. Entry will be free after 6pm.
