New era of investment

W

ith new residential communities popping up around the Penrith region, investors have the perfect opportunity to attract renters by building a sparkling new home.

There are plenty of vacant blocks and new community developments in Penrith, including Jordan Springs, Mulgoa Rise, Thornton and Caddens, giving

local investors the chance to add a brand new home to their property portfolio.

Although most investors go for the seemingly simpler option of purchasing an already built home, Stephen Thompson, managing director at Allworth Homes, claims that building a new property has many benefits.

“Investors should consider building a new home for their

next investment property. It is a lot easier than perceived and will give you many benefits along the way,” he said.

Having a new home built does not necessarily mean high involvement for investors, who can choose to have minimal hands-on engagement throughout the process and can deal directly with their builder to create the ideal home on their

land. Building from scratch also gives investors the ability to choose the best possible area to build on, with most builders offering to assess a block of land for free.

The interior design of homes can be custom built, and investors should think deeply about what kind of tenant they would like to attract and base the home’s size and style around that, choosing the amount of bedrooms, bathrooms and living spaces.

“Building a new home gives you a blank slate to work with, allowing you to choose all of the decorative features that you prefer,” Mr Thompson said.

“New means low maintenance and more energy efficient as a result of being constructed with the most up-to-date materials, saving you money in the long run.”

Beyond the stylistic benefits that investors can get from building their property, there are also a range of savings that can be made, with depreciation allowances and other tax advantages available.

There are also stamp duty savings to be made when land is purchased prior to the property being built.

“You also make big savings on the stamp duty payable at purchase. As the property is not yet built, you only pay stamp duty on the land component,” Mr Thompson said.

“You’ll still need a construction loan as the house is being built, but as the interest is all tax deductible, you’ll be out in front.”

When the property gets sold, investors can get the capital gain and there are also extra monetary benefits in the form of lower maintenance costs.

Incredible auction result T

he popularity of Penrith with out of town investors has been proven by an amazing auction in Penrith last weekend.

The auction, conducted at a property on Stafford Street in Penrith by PRDNationwide, had an incredible 31 registered bidders.

“That is the most we have ever seen by a long way,” said PRDNationwide’s Darren Latty.

“Charlie the auctioneer has done thousands of auctions all over Sydney and he has never seen as many registered bidders either.”

But the most unique point about the auction was that all but two of the registered bidders were from suburbs outside of Penrith.

Buyers came from Prospect, Abbotsbury, Esrkineville, Greystanes, Alexandria, Valley Heights, Turramurra, Auburn, Centennial Park and even Punchbowl.

The eventual buyers are investors from Baulkham Hills. They intend to hold on to the home and rent it out.

The vendor said: “The house went for way above what we expected and we are over the moon, especially because it means we’re now able to help our sons get on the property ladder themselves. Darren and the whole team did a more than fantastic job and we can’t praise them enough.”

It seems Penrith is indeed a property hotspot.

Bits&Pieces

Boom’s over, experts say

@wwpenrith

The owners of a Whitsundays mansion, recently dubbed the best beach house in Australia, have put their 75 acre beachfront property on the market. The property has around 400m of absolute beachfront and hits the market through Mark Beale of Ray White Whitsunday, with price expectations of $10m.

Owners of the property, Ian and Sissy Bishop have lived in the mansion, named ‘Heaven’s Gate’, for seven years and also own the 75 acres that neighbour the property.

Vacancy rates across Sydney are verging on crisis levels, according to data released by the Real Estate Institute of New South Wales. The March 2014 REINSW Vacancy Rate Survey saw the number of properties for rent across Sydney drop 0.3 per cent to 1.4 per cent. “We haven’t seen vacancy rates right across Sydney this low since November 2011,” REINSW President Malcolm Gunning said.

“Sydney is going backwards in

regard to properties available for rent. Something must be done to ensure that there is a greater level of choice for those seeking to secure a rental property in Australia’s biggest city.”

Morrison, who is currently CEO of the Tourism and Transport Forum, was previously the Property Council’s Chief Operating Officer and Executive Director of the organisation’s NSW Division.

After an extensive search process, the Property Council has appointed Ken Morrison to head up the nation’s leading property investment advocacy body.

Penrith Council is to consider a development application for a home business in Chopin Crescent, Claremont Meadows. It’s a cake decorating business.

The year-long boom in the residential real estate market is at an end, according to Propell National Valuers.

“The market is showing all the signs typical of the end of an innings”, says economist Linda Phillips, the National Research Manager.

“Forget the past. It is now May and the market faces headwinds in the form of the traditionally slower winter months, the painful federal government budget and rising unemployment,” she added.

“Any impetus from the declining interest rates of last year has now worked through the market.

The federal budget is likely to impact badly on consumer confidence and strip demand from the market which may need a further lowering of interest rates to restore spending.”

It now appears that the housing market itself will not be the subject of direct attacks in the budget, which will be handed down in Canberra next week.

Jamisontown

@wwpenrith

Family hub The perfect place to bring up a family, Jamisontown is also quickly becoming known as one of western Sydney’s investment hot spots...

20 Western Property Magazine

J

amisontown is an established residential area, located on the eastern side of the iconic Nepean River and just south of the thriving Penrith City Centre. Conveniently accessed from Mulgoa Road and the M4 Western Motorway, it is perfectly positioned as the gateway between the Sydney Metropolitan Area and the Blue Mountains.

Only 56km from the Sydney CBD, the region is a cosmopolitan mix of units, townhouses and residential homes, set amongst a bristling business hub and the serene surroundings of cafe’s and eateries along the Nepean Riverbank.

Readily identified as the ideal area for investment in Greater Western Sydney, Jamisontown has developed into an incredibly high-demand market over the last

2750 12 months. It boasts an average of 53 people looking for property in the area at any one time; more than three times the NSW average.

This is undoubtedly due to its strong median growth.

Over the past two and a half years the median house price has increased from $340,000 in June 2011 to $425,000 as of December 2013.

This is supported by the growing number of first home buyers and city investors who appreciate the strong sense of community and diverse range of options that is provided for nearby, including primary and secondary schools, as well as local medical, retail, sporting and recreational facilities.

Jamisontown boasts a young demographic, with the two most predominant age brackets ranging from 0-14 year-olds and 25-34 year-olds, with 73 per cent of the 5,243-strong population consisting of couples and families.

In general, people in Jamisontown work as tradesman, clerical or administration staff with the vast majority travelling to work by driving a car.

The average monthly mortgage repayment is between $1,800 and $2,400, with 65.7 per cent of occupiers either paying off their loan or owning their home outright.

Its price accessibility, along with easy access to schools, parks, shops and transport, makes it the perfect location for first home buyers and new families.

The real highlight of Jamisontown is without doubt its proximity to the Penrith CBD. The distance is perfect as it’s just a few minutes by car to get there, but you avoid the general busy nature of living so close to the centre of a city.

There’s great restaurants in Jamisontown including Rashays, one of the newer restaurants in Penrith, and Hooters, which has been extremely popular since opening a few years ago.

The Grey Gums Hotel has been a long-standing icon in Jamisontown and is definitely the ‘local’ for many residents, though Panthers Leagues Club is only a couple of minutes down the road.

Jamisontown is truly one of the great suburbs of the wider Penrith LGA. Friday 9 May 2014

At the top of your list

W Cameron Faico – Cameron.Faico@ propertycentral.com.au

the agent says Next week: We look at another great suburb in the Penrith LGA

hether it’s buying your very first family home or looking to dip your toes into property investment, Jamisontown continues to be a ‘go-to’ suburb for first time purchasers throughout the Penrith City region. Forever popular with out-of-town investors who increasingly drive sales due to its central location and accessibility to the motorway, first home buyers are flooding the market as they see the appeal of not only its location and amenities, but its affordability and potential.

Sales activity over the last 12 months has heightened, with the area boasting an average of 53 people looking for property at any one time.

This is a remarkable vote of confidence in the Jamisontown market and a real shot in the arm for the local economy.

There are a number of factors as to why this is happening. One is undoubtedly the strong median

growth in the area – over the last three years, house price growth rates have been consistently high in Jamisontown, edging out a number of other suburbs that are also increasing in average growth across the Penrith district. This has not gone unnoticed by our buyers as they recognise the suburb as an ideal location for investment.

Having experienced all that Jamisontown has to offer, we are seeing a consistent influx of young couples and families who quite obviously value the strong sense of community that Jamisontown provides. With not only diverse options for education and medical treatment, as well as first-class sporting, recreation and retail facilities, these buyers also find Jamisontown’s affordability and value-for-money appealing. Couple this with the strong median growth in the area, and you have the perfect family investment.

The significant sales growth that

Property Central has experienced in Jamisontown is echoed by research undertaken by RP Data.

Over the last 12 months alone, we have seen some impressive statistics: 113 sales in the area, a median house sale price of $459,625 and a large turnover of units and rental properties in the thriving investment block between Mulgoa Road and York Road.

With a guaranteed return on investment, it is clear that the popularity of the area is on an upwards trajectory.

Jamisontown provides a familyfriendly atmosphere within close proximity to the Penrith CBD, wide roads, quiet streets, spaciously cut blocks, leisurely river walks and just a short stroll to the Panthers complex and entertainment hub. One thing is clear – if you’re looking to relocate into an area that is convenientlylocated, has plenty of amenities that suit all age groups and is growing in value, Jamisontown must be at the top of your list.

Stafford Street auction proves Penrith is still booming!

244 Stafford Street is a four bedroom, two bathroom brick house in Penrith CBD. On Saturday 3rd May it went to auction, and the results exceeded all expectations! 31 registered bidders - the highest ever - included 29 investors, who had travelled from all over Sydney. The final sale price of $589,500 was almost $110,000 above the pre-auction offer and $90,000 above the reserve.

If you’re thinking of selling the time is now!

The house went for way above what we expected and we are over the moon, especially because it means we’re now able to help our sons get on the property ladder themselves. Darren and the whole team did a more than fantastic job and we can’t praise them enough.

Frank Battistella, Vendor, 244 Stafford Street
