ON THE NEST

 

Despite the headline I haven’t deserted real estate for ornithology or bedroom exertions.

John Grant writes in the latest Real Estate World that with the mooted rise in the official retirement age the current projection of how your super will provide a comfortable future will fall far below the future reality.

His advice is to buy and negatively gear as a long-term retirement addition. He notes that besides small term fluctuations it provides a reliable nest egg to hatch into a comfortable retirement.

This guarantees the opportunity to go bird watching and to enjoy the pleasures of the marital nest.

RAISING THE ROOF

Normally conjuring up images of decadent partying or raucous affability this is really about Real Estate.

Despite my love of a party I have dedicated myself to benefiting my clients.

It’s good news for investors but bad for renters, NSW Real Estate Institute CEO Tim Mc Kibbin warns of critical rental scarcity.

Australian Property Monitors see vacancy rates falling to below 1%.

The corollary of supply side shortage is that investors can mark up rental asks substantially.

While investors raise the roofs it looks like caving in on renters. Both buyers and renters should contact isellrealestate now and see what I could sell you.

SECURITY BRACKET

When I first encountered this term I expected it to be a home device to keep out burglars or a kind of restraint that you attach to your lover to stop them straying or leaving you. But NO, NO, NO, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its actually the buying considerations investors in real estate should make to protect their value & steadily rising appreciation.

Investment expert John B. Grant says people investing for long term gain should determine in the intended purchase area:

* What type of home is selling best.

* Age of best sellers.

* Construction of best sellers.

*  Bedrooms and other features of best sellers.

He also advises the security bracket of purchase should be with in 15% of the area median price for that style.

So I advise that for the greatest security you consult me Anthony Sarroff @isell, the summit of security.

2012 THE YEAR OF 56

Just for you real followers Selling is neither here nor there for some.

For others its all important! As its probably the most important asset you have.

For me at Isellrealestate its all about the service, the honesty, the way I do it.

If you want a agent that gives you

  • A reasonable commission rate.
  • A service that only charges one fee 2.2% of sale price.
  • No Advertising cost just the low commission.
  • An Agent that communicates and gives you feed back.
  • Follows up and informs how the marketing process is performing.
  • Well ring Anthony @isellrealestate the one on one agent.
  • Quality not quantity.
  • The agent that lists the property.
  • The agent that does the inspections.
  • The agent that communicates.
  • The agent that negotiates.
  •  The agent that looks after your interest.
  • The agent from the beginning of the process to the end of the process.

LOSS IS MORE

You may feel I need to attend a class in Logic 1a but in fact losing can mean gaining. Borrowing to invest in a property to let out can turn a deficit into a surplus.

Firstly and depending on income you can get a negative gearing on tax.

The A.T.O. has a guide which advises 230 residential claimable costs including acceptable depreciation scales.

The irony of the second benefit is while claiming depreciation you can still be gaining true market value appreciation, especially if you do D.I.Y. improvements.

Don’t be the old person who waited for Real Estate to get cheaper!!!!!

Lower rates mean a greater profit margin for investors. Isellrealestate can help you buy well.

DEFYING THE TREND

Everyone loves a rebel and the Hunter has defied the rest of Australia’s property doldrums. ( source Hunter Post 02/11/11 ).

Property Council of Australia’s C.E.O. Peter Verwer noted, ” Once the national survey was broken down into states and regions the Hunter emerged as a beacon of confidence amid a generally gloomy outlook.”

This bodes well for those vacillating about selling and the obvious message is sell now while the regional outlook is optimistic.

Isell Real Estate can facilitate a smooth sale to meet your most optimistic expectations. I’m the paradigm that pips posturing property poseurs.

GOOD NEWS OR BAD

The good news- there ISN’T any bad news (source Maitland Mercury article by Briony Sneddon)

Housing Industry Australia’s regional executive Steve Jeffries was not gliding the lilly but stating facts by recently stating,

‘Maitland is leading the region despite a downturn in other parts of Australia.”

The facts are:

*Local unemployment is really low.

*The exodus of Sydney dwellers is driving demand in the Hunter.

*They can sell down there and buy here and still have money to invest.

*Our median price is still half that of Sydney.

Maitland Mayor Cr. Peter Blackmore concurs with ” This Real Estate growth bodes well for the local economy.”

The corollary is that ” NOW IS THE TIME TO SELL & BUY WITH ISELL REAL ESTATE.”

Wonderful Worthwhile West

Property columnist and RP Data’s national research director Tim Lawless recently recommended the investment benefits of Maitland.

He notes an average value rise of more than 5% in the past year.

He attributes this in large measure to mining, metals processing and associated service industries.

When considering all western regions he warns against those with “ economies with a singular dependency on a given commodity can be an inherently risky investment.

Such is not the case in Maitland:

  • It has agriculture and its associated service industries.
  • Despite its rural nature it has close proximity to varied manufacturing industries.
  • Strong tourism as part of the Hunter Valley.
  • New access from surrounding areas to Sydney via Seahampton to Branxton Expressway, witness two new supermarkets in Kurri Kurri
  •  Growth of new gourmet food producers e.g. olives.

In conclusion the imagine of the west may be wild, wild but in Maitland not everyone wears a Stetson and no body carries a colt 45 in a holster.

Instead it’s an increasingly sophisticated population with eclectic lifestyles and employment.

The only wild, wild aspect is the rise in property prospects.
