12 Sunrise Place, Uki is on the market, and its living room is pretty special This townhouse at 15/1 Falcon Way, Tweed Heads South is for sale for $650,000
There is good news for buyers with interest rates expected to start dropping either this year or early 2025, with analysts expecting more than one cut. The other good news is that there were actually more properties on the market in our area this January than January last year. According to data from PropTrack, regional NSW had a strong start to the year, with listings for the Richmond-Tweed area up 11.3 per cent from January last year. More choice means more competition which can bring prices down as well and that’s good news for buyers.

I’M IN love! This week’s hot property in the heart of Uki is so gorgeous it will be snapped up in no time. Number 12 Sunrise Place, Uki, is a two-bedroom cottage with a studio that sits on an acre (just over 4,000 square metres) of sub-tropical rainforest. The studio is 60 square metres and also has two small bedrooms, a living room and a large deck, which makes it ideal for potential rental income. If you love gardening and time pottering in your own oasis, this home, within walking distance of beautiful Uki, is for you. It has some lovely features like high raked timber ceilings, an open fireplace, air conditioning and timber benchtops. The galley-style kitchen includes a dishwasher and gas oven/stovetop. The cottage has a big deck overlooking the gardens that is ideal for entertaining. This lovely oasis is only 15 minutes from Murwillumbah and 40 minutes to the Gold Coast or Byron Bay beaches. The property is for sale for $1,150,000 to $1,250,000 with Matt Armstrong at Elders Tweed Valley Murwillumbah.
