Record Prices? - What is really happening.

In the last few weeks there has been some spectacular sales in our area. Recent stand out prestige sales include:

* 18 East Esplanade, Manly - Renovated 4 bedroom semi facing Manly Cove. SOLD $4,000,000

* 42 Beatty St, Balgowlah Heights - 5 Bedroom, beachfront reserve home. SOLD $5,250,000

* 17 Monash Cr, Clontarf - Older style beachfront. SOLD$5,050,000

* 36 Edgecliff Esplanade, Seaforth - Modern family home. SOLD $4,356,000

There are a large number of buyers looking for trophy homes in all suburbs, with a current grand estate like house in Clontarf St, North Balgowlah expected to sell this week for more than $2,500,000. Lower interest rates, the recovery in confidence in the property market and the rarity of one off homes continues to drive demand. In the general market there is still an overall shortage of properties for sale. This time last year there were 44 properties for sale in Seaforth compared to 27 this weekend available to buyers. This reduced amount of property stock is also helping to keep prices buoyant.

The mid part of the market is still the softest and hence if you are thinking of upgrading your family home now is the best time to move. Let us know if we can help with selling, buying or leasing. Have a great April..

Best Wishes,

REINSW update

Government responds to REINSW concerns over pool compliance

Pool owners across the state will now have more time to ensure swimming pools and spas are compliant prior to the sale or lease of their property after the Real Estate Institute of New South Wales voiced its concerns earlier this year.

The NSW Office of Local Government announced late today (28 March 2014) that the provisions requiring a property with a swimming pool to have a certificate of compliance before it is sold or leased will now commence on 29 April 2015.

“Real estate industry representatives want more time to ensure properties with a pool are compliant before selling or leasing,” Ross Woodward, Chief Executive of the Office of Local Government, said in a statement. 

“Council officer feedback indicates that high inspection failure rates mean that it is not uncommon for it to take three months from first inspection to the issuing of a compliance certificate.”

REINSW CEO Tim McKibbin said it was evident that the number of existing qualified inspectors was inadequate to respond to market demand and therefore the decision to extend the transition period is appropriate.

“Earlier this year we sought a deferral from the Minister in order to avoid adverse consequences for the sale and leasing of properties captured by the legislation.

“With some 300,000 pools and spas across the state, REINSW suggested that some transitional procedures be implemented as part of the commencement of the obligation,” Mr McKibbin said.

“REINSW is satisfied that the additional time will allow the smooth implementation of the new procedures.

“The extension is a successful outcome for all,” Mr McKibbin said.
