Very Happy Client Happy Buyer

“ Gizzelle, you are amazing! You have done it again!

We are very happy with Gizzelle’s service and transparency, that’s why we have decided to sell with her again. If you are thinking of selling or buying, we highly recommend Gizzelle Powell of RE/MAX Lifestyle Marketing. ”

I bought my second dual key off the plan from Litsa. She made the entire process extremely simple. Litsa’s strong knowledge of the property market and investment opportunities helped us decide to purchase. Litsa was able to answer all of my questions and I felt that she was looking after my best interests. I was again impressed with the quality of the build and the speed that it was built; especially during Covid. Our investment property has performed far better than we could have anticipated. I am very happy that we chose to buy again through Litsa.

WHAT DOES THE FEDERAL BUDGET HAVE IN STORE?

Last October just five months into the job after Labor clinched power at the 2022 Federal Election, Treasurer Jim Chalmers delivered a mini budget which offered a pessimistic forecast of the economic outlook for Australia, and not a lot else to be honest.

After his dress rehearsal budget last year, Dr Chalmers on Tuesday night will be back for the real deal which is expected to contain the same doom and gloom message about the future.

Labor has been warning about “incredibly weak” economic growth over the next five years as Australia deals with an uncertain and volatile global economy.

According to Dr Chalmers,

this budget will prioritise costof-living relief amid continuing high inflation, growing the economy and ensuring Australia is “more resilient to international shocks”.

“The best antidote to global economic uncertainty is responsible economic management here at home and that’s what the May budget will represent,” the Treasurer has said.

“Low unemployment, high prices for our exports … both of those things are helping the budget right now, but the pressures on the budget are intensifying after that.”

Potentially the most contentious thing Dr Chalmers could announce in his budget would be to pare back legislated stage three tax cuts, which are worth

$18 billion a year from July 2024 and apply a flat marginal tax rate of 30 per cent to those earning $45,000 to $200,000 a year.

But this has already been canned with the move seen by many as political poison given the high number of beneficiaries from the tax cuts and the electorate’s previous punishment of governments breaking election promises.

We do know there will be a cash boost for young carers, cheaper medicines available under one script, $50 million for long Covid research, funds for more action against SMS scammers, $150 million to improve water quality in the Great Barrier Reef and relief for communities in outback Queensland and Western Australia after recent floods.

Before his first Budget, Dr Chalmers promised nothing fancy or flashy but to be solid and responsible, so expect much the same on Tuesday night.

We wait and see!

Why are Granny Flats such a good

right

An upward trend for interest rates, and a risky feeling about knock-down rebuild projects means current and aspiring homeowners are looking for ways to increase the value of their property – enter the Granny Flat.

Building a Granny Flat on an existing property allows you to make the most of every square metre of your home. You’d be surprised how spacious and accommodating they can be.

A Granny Flat can offer you financial advantages which could help insulate your lifestyle against cost of living and interest rate rises, whilst increasing the value of your home. Most importantly, a Granny Flat can offer you and your family incredible versatility.

When it comes time to sell down the track – your investment now, will pay off later. Research from the Property Council of Australia found that building a Granny Flat could boost your home value by 30%.

If your parents are ready to downsize their living space and release equity from a larger home, building a Granny Flat could provide ‘instant superannuation’ for your aging parents.

With rental prices at an all-time high and availability at an all-time low, keeping your adult kids close in a Granny Flat makes sense. A Granny Flat is the perfect option for your family’s dynamic needs.

Depending on size, spec and the requirements of your block, purchasing or constructing a Granny Flat is often less expensive than financing a stand-alone investment property.
