Dear Alex.
We have selected this property for you based on the location as Hillcrest has been predicted to have significant growth in our quarterly reports.
A unique benefit of this property is the tenants have just signed a 5 year lease at $450 per week with 2% increases every 1 years, admittedly, 2% increase is on the low side, but you do have security of tenants for the next 5 years and management is only at 6.6%
They do want $420 000. But I suggest we try secure it at $400 000 which is under market value based on the comparable sales in the area.
The property is going to Auction, but the agent said they are accepting offers prior to Auction but will need shorter finance and building and pest clauses as they want the property to be unconditional prior to Auction.
Hillcrest is in a blue chip pocket of Logan, highly owner occupied and close to all the major amenities, such as private schools, university and hospitals.

It’s with great pleasure to present

The markets movement over the past year, paired with supportive driving data shows us there is good growth to come.
The fall in days on market (DOM) shows that market conditions are heating up which will result in market growth as demand increases.
As properties begin to grow in value, vendors are realising the interest in the market and discounting less.
As we are looking for a positively geared property, yielding will need to be considered. We can expect this to rise due to the supporting data.
The reduction of new listings tells us that vendors are realising the values of their properties, and are therefore holding their assets.
As vendors begin to realise the markets potential, savvy owners are holding their properties to gain the value in the markets current and forthcoming growth.

The build year should be considered when purchasing properties of different structure types. The price of the property can be reflective of the build year vs the structure type. Some structure types age better than others. At a certain price point, it is worth remembering that land is the appreciating asset, while the dwelling is the depresiationg asset and can be reflective in the age of the property.
