The Gold Coast & The Olympics

It's not just the 2,600 athletes and team officials that will be housed at the proposed satellite Athletes’ Village in Robina (see pic). Here's what else is proposed so far:

GOLD COAST EVENT VENUES:

Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre, Broadbeach – Volleyball, weightlifting.

Broadbeach Park Stadium (temporary with 12,000 capacity) – Beach volleyball

Royal Pines Resort, Benowa – Golf

Gold Coast Sports & Leisure Centre, Carrara – Judo, wrestling.

Coomera Indoor Sports Centre, Coomera – Volleyball

Broadwater Parklands – Triathlon, Aquatics (swimming marathon)

Gold Coast Stadium, Carrara – Football (preliminaries/quarter finals)

Robina – Olympic Village (major development catering for 2,600 beds)

It's not just Brisbane which will benefit. We'd even argue that the Gold Coast will benefit more from the Olympics than Brisbane will.

"Other areas set to benefit would be the proposed sites for athlete villages, earmarked for ... Robina, along with areas set to benefit from transport infrastructure upgrades including the Gold Coast ... via upgrades to the M1 Pacific Motorway ... which could be accelerated."

What the 2032 Olympic Games means for Brisbane’s property market The Olympics should work as a positive influence on Brisbane housing market conditions, however, with the Games still some eleven years away, the flow on effects are likely to be gradual and centred around significant infrastructure upgrades and the associated medium-term uplift in jobs and longer-t...

Cities that don’t align with economy will pay a price

Brisbane is a market we've seriously been contemplating getting into for years, so stay turned for an official update regarding us opening an office in Brisbane!

Coolangatta Property Update

In addition to this, compared to the same period last year, there was an increase of 39.6% in the number of properties sold from 53 to 74 recorded government verified sales. There are currently 74 for sale listings in Coolangatta.

An agency sent me this. I guess they want me to share it with you.

Selling a property in Australia can be an expensive and highly stressful affair, but it doesn’t always have to be that way. The priority for most sellers is to achieve the highest possible sale price in the shortest possible time, but taking shortcuts and succumbing to common pitfalls is usually a recipe for disaster. If you are about to place your own property on the market, there are five common mistakes many sellers make that you should do all you can to avoid.

1. Choosing to sell their home without an agent
Although most homeowners choose to sell their property with some form of assistance from a real estate agent, there is still a significant minority that opts to tackle the complex nature of the property market alone. This may save on commission and fees, but it could be a false economy. An experienced and knowledgeable real estate agent with a thorough knowledge of your local area stands a great chance of achieving a premium for your home. And the extra value the right agent can squeeze from a sale will often outweigh the money saved by selling privately.

2. Choosing an inappropriate real estate agent
Too many homeowners simply opt for the cheapest agent, or the one who promises the highest sale price. Selecting the agent who is most suited to your circumstances, and your property, is the most important decision you will make during the entire process of selling your property. Your chosen agent should have a proven track record of success in selling properties like yours, and should be able to call upon the recommendations of several happy clients.

3. Overvaluing their home
While it is only natural that a homeowner wants to achieve the highest sale price possible for their property, overvaluing it can backfire spectacularly. A home that is priced way beyond similar homes in the area will alienate potential buyers before they’ve even seen it, and the resultant lack of demand will actually drive the value of your property down.

4. Not preparing their property for the market
Buyers in most neighbourhoods have several choices when it comes to buying a new home, so not preparing your property for the market can leave it at an immediate advantage. You should prepare your own property by taking care of any major repairs and maintenance issues that may be off-putting to potential buyers. Clutter can kill a deal before it gets started, so find a place for everything. And consider giving your property a fresh look with a lick of paint and the addition of some carefully chosen items of furniture.

5. Not marketing their property effectively
In Australia, it is usually incumbent on the owner to pay the costs of marketing a property, but that doesn’t mean you should simply hand over the cash and play a back-seat role in this respect. Your chosen agent will already have a network of contacts and advertising avenues to get the ball rolling from the outset, but you should embrace all marketing opportunities – no matter how small or insignificant they may seem.

Selling a property is a stressful, time-consuming process at the best of times, so it pays to have a trustworthy agent by your side. For open and honest advice with selling your property give us a call today on (I'll insert my number here 07 5599 3370) to speak with your area specialist. (That would be us, if you live in our area that is!)
