BOOM PRICES GONE FOREVER: GAIL KELLY, WESTPAC

Mal Charlwood

The head of Westpac, Gail Kelly, stated this week that property sellers who are waiting for the return of the “ price boom” days are going to be disappointed.

She said those heady days are gone forever as banks don’t allow the extravagant borrowing amounts like they did a year or so back.

People who want to sell their properties must be aware that the market has changed forever and comes to terms with today’s prices... even if you bought in the height of the price hike...

Majors Creek School Sells to Private Buyer

Majors Creek School was sold to a private buyer yesterday with an unconditional contract for the asking price of $264,000 from Education Queensland.

Locally founded real estate agency, Rapid Realty Townsville won the tender and was appointed by Education Queensland to auction the property on 21st April 2012.

The auction was held onsite at Majors Creek School, 45 minutes west of Townsville, last weekend and attracted seven registered bidders and over twenty guests, a few of which demostrated their opposition to the sale.

Retiring Mayor Les Tyrell said to the Townsville Bulletin (19th April 2012); "I would call upon the education department to rethink their tactics and withdraw it from the market, and arrange to transfer it to a community organisation, whether that be through the council or not - we can sort that out later."

Rapid Realty Townsville's Auctioneer Mal Charlwood said; "three active bidders on the day of auction pushed the final bid to $221,000, at which price the property was passed in for not reaching the reserve."

It is understod the successful buyer intends to utilise the three main buildings, tennis court, cricket pitch on 3 acres as their private family home and place of residence, Mr McLeod, Principal Rapid Realty Townsville said.

Dispite some local protests from a few local residence, the 77 year old school will now be used for private purposes.

Green Light on Auction of Majors Creek School

Rapid Realty Townsville has the green light from Education Queensland to sell Majors Creek School under the Auctioneers hammer tommorrow (Saturday) at 2.30pm despite some determined opposition from local residents and Townsville's Major Les Tyrell pleading with the State to gift the school to the community.

Mayor Les Tyrell said to the Townsville Bulletin (19th April 2012); "I would call upon the education department to rethink their tactics and withdraw it from the market, and arrange to transfer it to a community organisation, whether that be through the council or not - we can sort that out later."

Rapid Realty Townsville Principal Mr McLeod said; "Local Townsville residents and groups have a unique opportunity to buy the 77 year old school buildings in fair condition on 3 acres, two titles, tennis courts, water tanks and fencing only 45 klm from Townsville City and within the shadows of Mount Elliott and Bowling Green Bay National Park".

Mr McLeod also said; "This type of government asset does not come onto the buying market very often, and even less so in the future because once they are sold to a private interest they rarely return to public hands".

"Residents and interested buyers can view the property for 1 hour at open for inspection immediately before the auction for the final time before it is sold to the highest bidder", Mal Charlwood, Rapid Realty Townsville's Auctioneer said.

Interested buyers should contact Rapid Realty Townsville (www.rapidrealty.com.au) now to register their interest in the auction and be prepared with their bank cheque deposit and signing of the unconditional contract on the fall of the Auctioneer's hammer.

SOUTH TOWNSVILLE BUYING BONANZA ON EVE OF MARINA DEVELOPMENT

South Townsville's popular Sixth and Seventh Avenues is set to experience a buying bonanza next month as five properties within the precinct of the new South Townsville Village Residental and Marina Development goes under the hammer at auction on 28th April or sold beforehand.

The South Townsville Village Residential and Marina "development would take place on land left vacant by relocation of the marine industries, which presently occupy the site, to the Marine Industries and Boating Facilities Precinct."

"Relocation of these marine industries would become necessary when their ocean access was locked by the Eastern Access Corridor bridge (which is likely to have a low navigational clearance). The concept envisages small lot residential development with emphasis on ready access to the marine environment and to Townsville’s central area." (http://www.deedi.qld.gov.au)

The Sixth, Seventh and Boundary Street properties presents an amazing opportunity for investors and home buyers wanting to establish a property foothold in Townsville's only bayside, riverside and island suburb in which significant capital is being invested by government and commercial enterprises to enhence residental living so close the Townsville City heart.

The strategic location of these properties so close to hotels, resturants, transport, city and port facilities including new cruise ship terminal, Reid Park's V8 Supercar track, cultural precinct and Civic Theatre, schools and shops shines brightly as a beckon to astute buyers in North Queensland, Rapid Realty's Principal Aaron McLeod said.

Detailed information about each property is available on Rapid Realty's website (www.rapidrealty.com.au), South Townsville's only locally run and operated agency.

MEDIA RELEASE: TOWNSVILLE REAL ESTATE MARKET BUOYED BY INTEREST RATE DROP

Townsville buyers have expressed record registrations for today’s Auction Extravaganza at Condon as the Reserve Bank of Australia announced a .25 percentage drop in interest rates. “Townsville’s property market is showing clear signs that buyers are returning to the bidders circle”, Rapid Realty Townsville Principal Director Mr McLeod said. “The perception of buyers is the market has reached the bottom of the property cycle”, Mr McLeod said.

Townsville auction clearance rates have been languishing below 50% but increasing enquiries, offers and pre-auction registrations are clear signals that buyers are expressing a more confident mindset. With further interest rate easing expected by the RBA over the coming reporting period in addition to the .25 percentage points drop on Melbourne Cup Day, it is an anticipated more buyers will return to the more stable property market. This return of property market confidence could be influenced by the equity markets continuing to behave with inconsistent uncertainty and US and Europe financial markets continue to show signs of imploding.

Radio Talkback Host and Rapid Realty Townsville’s Auctioneer, Mal Charlwood said; the “Auction Extravaganza will have a festive atmosphere with high pre-auction registrations and cashed up buyers are excited about winning a successful bid under the hammer”.

Today’s Auction Extravaganza at Condon includes a fund raising event for the Queensland Cancer Council with prizes being offered by Townsville building contractors, mortgage lenders, wealth advisors and real estate professionals. The pre-auction activities kick off at 3.00pm and the main auction of the 4 bedroom house on large block of land at 39 Teal Street Condon will start at 4pm.

MEDIA RELEASE: BLIGH PULLING WOOL OVER FIRST HOME BUYERS

The State Government while assisting the ailing building industry to recover from partly self-inflicted poor economic and political conditions, Premier Bligh and Treasurer Frazer is pulling the wool over the eyes of First Home Buyers.

Despite the seemingly generous increase in first home buyer grants and concessions in the new building market, first home buyers should be aware of higher building costs and steady market price conditions that may cause an unfavourable net saving to the buyers over buying existing homes.

Rapid Realty Townsville’s Principal, Aaron McLeod is encouraging first timers to carry out proper due diligence before buying property and consult with their solicitor, finance broker, accountant and real estate professional.

New homes purchased 2-3 years ago being sold again today as existing homes are fetching discounts of up to 10-15% while the general market has seen a more modest easing in median prices.

Existing housing sellers, landlords and buyers will be worse off under the State Budget 2011-2012 announcements, while the new building sector should experience increasing enquiries and sales due to these changes.

It is true however that Townsville’s First Home Buyers have exercised resurgence to the property market since the Queensland Government announced changes to first home buyer grants and transfer concession rates in the State Budget 2011-2012.

Housing finance data released last week by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) for May 2011 shows that as a proportion of all owner occupier finance commitments, first home buyers accounted for just 15.4% of the market.

During the month of May there was a 17.2% increase in new home loan commitments by first home buyers across the Country from the previous month (RP Data Property Pulse, July 2011)

Rapid Realty Townsville Principal, Aaron McLeod said; "Like the increases in national statistics, first home buyer enquiries in Townsville have increased since the grants and concession rates were announced in the State Budget 2011-2012.

These changes take affect from the 1st August 2011 and are designed to encourage first home buyers into building a new home. Both the building first home buyer grant and concession rates will improve while concession rates for the first home (non building) grant will be abolished and transfer duty concessions will increase.

The Federal Government's $7,000 first home buyer grant will be available for both new building and existing new home buyers.

This is another strong case for "buyer beware".

REAL ESTATE BUYERS STIMULATED BY RATES

MEDIA RELEASE

The Australian Economics Weekly published last Friday by the ANZ Bank reports that the RBA is not expected to raise interest rates before early 2012 due to slowing growth in the economy, particularly jobs growth. In fact a possible interest rate fall has been factored in by the markets.

Rapid Realty welcomes the forecast reduction in interest rates. It stimulates buyer enquiry in the property market. A sustained reduction in the cash rate could see broader buying activity as households adjust their financial risk appetite and adopt a more confident outlook. Buyers should keep an eye on the interest rate scenario to detect a trend indicator for the inevitable return of positive growth in property demand.

With a predicted rebound in economic growth in 2012 of 3.3% from the current growth pattern of 0.9%, Townsville's Real Estate buyers and investors may have 6-12 month window to make their property investment decisions if maximising capital growth opportunities is the investment driver for buyers.

Property Fans and Followers Community Launched for 'Grass Roots'

North Queensland’s Property Followers and Fans Community was launched today by Rapid Realty’s Principal Director, Aaron McLeod to offer ‘grass roots’ property investors, observers and professionals a locally-driven online forum to share their experiences and aspirations, opinions and views.

The Global Financial Crisis (GFC), interest rates, Federal Government's tax reform and the Queensland Premiers’ initiative for Townsville to become a semi-functional Capital City of Queensland are just a few topics that are generating views and opinions about local property markets and policy makers.

Astute buyers and sellers in the market are raising these issues with their agents and each other as global, national and local events such as tax reform, infrastructure projects, water charging changes, etc. are impacting the decision making process of local investors to either retain, turnover or expand their property asset portfolios, Aaron McLeod said.

These are real issues facing investors as the latest RP Data – Rismark Home Value Index was released today headlining that “home values (are) flat in April as heat comes off Australia’s housing market” and “Housing markets outside the capital cities record no growth in 2010”.

Stories about the housing and property market are being reported and narrated by industry players such as RP Data, REIQ and advertising portals, but listening to the views and opinions of real buyers, investors and sellers at the ‘grass roots’ are equally important if not more important. Aaron McLeod said.

With over 50 percent of enquiries about real estate listings being sourced from internet portals such realestate.com and domain.com.au, just to name a couple, creating a meeting point for property fans and followers using the greatest social-networking movement in history was a stand-out initiative to dialogue ‘grass roots’ stories.

The Townsville Real Estate blog site and Rapid Realty’s Facebook site are two new online forums offering astute buyers and sellers, and apprentices to the property markets, the opportunity to interact and stimulate community views and opinions about real estate in North Queensland.

In the absence of any locally-driven online social forum for property fans and followers, North Queenslanders can simply search for Rapid Realty’s community networking site in Facebook by searching on ‘rapid realty’ and posting comments, photos, videos, discussions, links and blogs.

Followers can log on to the Townsville Real Estate blog site http://townsvillerealestate.blogspot.com/ to follow the latest ‘grass-roots’ news and feature properties or publish comments.

Rapid Realty's Principal Director is offering new fans and followers to these 'grass roots' online forums a chance to win exclusive corporate box tickets to the 2010 Townsville V8 Supercars and North Queensland Cowboys home games in an effort to stimulate initial memberships.
