A Top-Secret “Peep Inside The Tent” For Our Investor Clients

 

After having sold nearly $700 million in property in and around Robina over the past 25 years, I like to think I know a little about the relative value of the region.

 

To say that property prices have gone for a gallop over this time is an understatement and no surprises here; we live in a beautiful part of the country and many others (living elsewhere) think so too.

 

This fact alone will ensure that canny investors will continue to reap good capital gains in the foreseeable future. 

 

Yes, everyone can remember being able to buy property cheaper.  Hey, I bet you’ve heard many a person say something like this “I should have bought that property for $150,000 seven years ago because today it’s worth $400,000.”

 

In my experience, the history of property in our region is that yesterday’s property price will not be repeated.

 

Astute investors (and I’m proud to say that I represent a number of them) buy today in the expectation of a higher price tomorrow…knowing full well that yesterday’s prices are part of history and never to be repeated.

 

My investor clients constantly impress on me the importance of identifying value in the marketplace. Naturally this isn’t something which bobs up every day...and when it does, it requires decisive action.

 

That said, as a Robina Realty investor client I want to give you priority notification of a property investment opportunity which I believe offers genuine value relative to the present marketplace.

 

And given that we are the exclusive marketing agents I’d like our clients to have the first opportunity to preview and consider.  Naturally we need to fully represent the interests of our developer client and so we will be shortly mounting an aggressive marketing programme as well as opening the on-site sales office on Friday 8th June.

 

This office will be opened daily from 10.00am to 5.00pm Mon to Friday and 10am to 4.00pm Sat/Sun.

 

Okay, let’s talk about the development and then I’ll run the ruler over why I consider this to be an exceptional property investment, particularly for those who move quickly.

Welcome To Acacia Centre, Robina…Your Next Investment Opportunity

 

Development Mix: Acacia Centre embraces position, convenience and accessibility in a modern, contemporary style of living.

 

 

    

 

Each apartment is designed to the highest standards.  A lap pool and a recreational pool with BBQ facilities offers a much sought after outdoor lifestyle as you step from your apartment door.  Other winning aspects include: large unit sizes and exceptional choices in styles to suit all buyers.  Plus, there is security parking.

 

As well as the 74 unit development there are also 25 commercial units for sale ranging from 55m2 to 197m2.  You probably know that commercial space in Robina is in short supply and is zealously sought.  A BIG plus is that these units on Scottsdale Drive offer excellent exposure.

 

So, from an investment point of view, you have a choice of residential or commercial and both our property management and commercial divisions would love to work closely with you to find that ideal tenant.

 

Brilliant Location: centrally located within easy walking distance of shopping, future Varsity station (completion 2009) and only 2 minutes from the Robina Town Centre, Hospital, Cinemas and restaurants.

 

 

Value Based Pricing Structure: The two bedrooms units are priced from $329,000 and 3 bedrooms from $395,000. This has got to be the best value in Robina presently and to demonstrate that, let me give you a thumbnail sketch of present stock reserves (and by the way, these are quality projects that are selling well):

 

Madison	2 bedrooms (10 left)	$469,000 - $499,000 (there are no 3 bedrooms left)
The Top	2 bedrooms (1 left)	$439,000
50 Riverwalk	2 bedrooms (37 left)	$479,000 - $519,000 (there are no 3 bedrooms left)
Greenwich	2 bedrooms (15 left) 3 bedrooms (1 left)	$424,000 - $474,000 $594,000
Sidewalk on Scottsdale	2 bedrooms (22 left) 3 bedrooms (4 left)	$399,000 - $465,000 $439,000 - $489,000

 

Rental appraisals for the Acacia Centre are from $320 to $360 for 2 bedrooms and $380 to $480 for 3 bedrooms.  We expect the penthouses to fetch $480 to $620per week.

 

With value like this, I’m more than happy to recommend these units as an investment, particularly as there will be on-site management.

A Massive Value Opportunity

    

Okay, let me now give you the good news…in advance of our formal public announcement: We’ve arranged for our developer to reward those who can see the value and are ready to move quickly:

• The next fifteen units will be sold at stated prices (which represent excellent buying).  Thereafter, our developer reserves the right to review the pricing structure.

• And, if you are one of the next ten buyers, you will also receive a very attractive furniture and whitegoods package valued at between $13,000 and $22,000 depending upon whether you acquire a two bedroom, three bedroom or the penthouse.

Learning To Love Tax Time

Real Estate Dynamics

May Newsletter

The end of the financial year is a crucial time for Australians who own an investment Property but few can say they completely understand the ins and outs of the tax system.

To help make the dreaded trip to the accountant a little easier – and perhaps a little more lucrative – the June issue of Australian Property Investor (API) magazine has published a special report detailing 20 little-known tips for Property investors.

“It’s the time of year property investors either love or hate and, for those who normally dread the end of the financial year, we’ve come up with a list of 20 not so common tax tips that might bring some financial relief,” said API editor Eynas Brodie.

Among the hints from API’s resident tax expert, Julia Hartman of BAN TACS, are:

• If you are considering doing repairs to your rental property, take care to make sure they’ll qualify for a full tax deduction. This will not be the case if you replace something in its entirety. For example, replace a worn fence a bit at a time over a few years rather than all at once.

• Consider prepaying the interest on the rental property loan up to 12 months in advance and get a tax deduction in the year it’s paid. Make sure your bank understands what you’re trying to achieve – simply depositing the amount into the loan account will not work.

• If you’ve made a capital gain on a rental property, you could salary-sacrifice your wages into superannuation through your employer and live off the proceeds of the capital gain.

• Before you go spending up big on your rental property thinking the ATO will be paying half, have a look at your tax bracket. This year you will have to have a taxable income in excess of $95,000 before you will be getting back 48.5 per cent of your expenditure. In 2007 you will need to have a taxable income in excess of $150,000, which is estimated to apply to only 2 per cent of the population.

“Some property investors make the mistake of spending money on their property without checking that they’re doing the right thing tax-wise and, of course, everyone’s situation is different so it’s important that people seek advice from their accountant,” said Brodie.

Stable Rates Lift New Home Sales

REIQ Journal

May 2007

 

The stable interest rate environment in early 2007 has helped to lift new home sales across the country.

 

HIA’s New Home Sales figures show that the sale of new homes and units among Australia’s largest builders and developers increased by 2.9% in February to 8,193 dwellings.

 

Private detached house sales rose by 3.9%, while the sale of multi-units fell by 4.2%.

 

Australia’s peak building industry body, HIA, said it’s the first time in 9 months that sales have tipped the 8,000 mark.

 

HIA Executive Director of Housing & Economics, Mr Simon Tennent, said that the figures are unlikely to signal the end of the slump in sales however as interest in new homes is typically stronger at the start of each year.

The Australian Housing Cycle

The Estate Agent

Page: 12-13 : May 2007 Original article by Michael Knox

ABIX Summary

Approvals for dwellings are considered to be a good indicator of overall demand for housing.  In Australia in 2006, monthly approvals on an original basis reached their peak in May 2006, with 14,585.  They had commenced the year with 9,768 in January, finishing with 10,753 in December, and overall dwelling approvals for 2006 were considered to be "low and flat".  Based on current indicators and assuming that there are no further increases in interest rates, it is expected that there will be a recovery in the housing cycle by the last quarter of 2007.

Experts Tip Residential Market To Outperform All Others

REIQ Journal  

May 2007

 

A record number of property professionals have shown overwhelming support for the residential real estate investment market in the latest Ashe Morgan Winthrop Property Investors Survey.

 

More than 66% of those surveyed expect to see an improvement in the residential property market over the next 6 months – the strongest result for an improving residential sector in the biannual survey’s 11 year history. 

 

More than 53% of those surveyed recommended investing in residential property, with the market gaining its strongest support from the state’s hardest hit by the end of the boom in 2003.

 

“The results highlight the return of confidence to the residential market,” said Ashe Morgan Winthrop Director John Winter.

 

Across all markets, the results revealed Queensland as the market leading investment destination for property investors with 25.5% reporting it as their location of choice.

Regional Population Surges as SEQ Remains Country’s Largest Growing Area

REIQ Journal 

May 2007 

Brisbane and the Gold Coast have retained their rankings as Australia’s largest growing cities despite a modest decline in Southeast Queensland’s phenomenal annual population growth.

The latest Queensland Population Update showed that while population growth in the Southeast corner eased by more than 11,000 people in 2006 – dropping from 64,000 people in 2005 to 52,000 last year – Brisbane and the Gold Coast were the nation’s number one and two largest growing cities for the 10th consecutive year.
