Buyers Increasingly Eco-Savvy
Homebuyers across Australia are increasingly
savvy about energy efficiency and are looking for
more features when inspecting properties.
First National agents are reporting a strong buyer
preference for homes that have incorporated
features such as water storage, energy efficient
lighting, quality insulation and solar power.
With the considerable variety of state and federal
government subsidies offered in recent years, and
the threat of rapidly rising electricity prices,
properties without efficiency fundamentals risk
looking less competitive.
The trend is not confined to a particular region,
ranging instead across all states. However, in New
South Wales, where many consumers locked in the
country’s most generous solar power feed in tariff
before it was cancelled, homes offering the
rebate for the next six years are proving more
attractive.
Features that seem to particularly resonate with
buyers include; the design and positioning of a
house to best utilise shade, sunlight and breezes,
energy-efficient or natural cooling and heating
including wall, floor and ceiling insulation,
water-saving fixtures in bathrooms, kitchens and
laundries, shaded outdoor areas, drought tolerant
gardens and rainwater tanks.
‘Buyers are realising environmentally friendly
features mean lower maintenance costs and
expenses over the long term, so they are prepared
to pay for them,’ First National Chief Executive Ray
Ellis says.
‘They are looking at these features in the same
way they have always looked at traditional interior
design finishes such as flooring and curtains’.

Lavishly appointed and located in a unique position, you will be the
envy of all your friends. A short stroll to everything including two
historical hotels and Gawler Central train station, this impressive two
storey townhouse has a whole lot more than you would expect.
Rear access, secure parking and outdoor alfresco eating areas are
just some of the features that make this home one to put on the
inspection list. Normally you would only expect to find something
like this in North Adelaide, not the heart of Gawler.
A distinguished elegance is carried throughout the home and
reflects prestige and comfort. The bedrooms are luxurious and of
good size. The master bedroom is grand in scale, plus has access to
the balcony and includes built-in robes. Bedroom 2 also large in size
has built-ins and the third bedroom is utilised as a study. The main
bathroom is of generous proportion and is well appointed with
separate bath, shower, toilet, vanity and also includes a skylight to
let in the glorious sunshine.
The living areas are all positioned downstairs and feature 9 foot
ceilings and ornate cornices. Each room is adorned with quality
light fittings and window drapes. Your year round comfort is
ensured with ducted reverse cycle air conditioning throughout the
home. Entertaining is a joy with the chef inspired kitchen, well
appointed with ample cupboards and bench space plus a
dishwasher. The dining room is elegant and opens to the rear
alfresco dining through French doors.
Outside includes alfresco umbrellas and a inviting built in spa. There
is also a second toilet located downstairs in the laundry area that
has built in cupboards. Under the stairs there is a great area that
serves well as a cloak room or for additional storage. The single
garage has a remote door and is accessed from the rear of the
property.
A unique opportunity exists for this property to be purchased as a
walk in walk out with the furniture to stay, which makes it attractive
as a B&B (Subject to Council Consent) or rental property. Call for
an appointment to inspect TODAY!

Shopping for a home loan…
Computer Says No?
Anyone who watches the comedy ‘Little Britain’ will be familiar with
the travel agent who continually delivers the answer ‘computer says
no’ to customers.
The advent of ‘computer aided credit decisioning’ has arrived in
Australia and some say it’s no joke.
A finance company recently reported that a client who was looking
to buy a $490,000 two bedroom apartment wished to borrow 90% of
the purchase price. With the strength of their income, the client could
afford to borrow twice that amount.
However, the bank declined the loan based upon a ‘failed credit
score’. Does that sound like ‘computer says no’?
After some probing, the bank admitted the client had ‘too much
activity on his Veda credit report’. It turned out that the client, while
shopping around, had applied for credit five times in the past twelve
months with four different banks.
Despite not having proceeded with any of the home loans, this was
the reason the computer had said no. Evidently, 75% of credit
enquiries score poorly with most lenders. Fortunately, a human said
‘yes’, demonstrating the value of mortgage advisors and their
capacity to ‘get the business done’.
Googling around?
Did you know 90% of people start their search for property on the
internet? That’s why it’s crucial your real estate agent achieves
good search results. More than 88% of First National agents
achieve top 10 rankings, making them leaders in the field. The more easily your property
is found, the more opportunities for First National to maximize your price!

Housing Bubble
Westpac Labels ‘Misleading’
Property pundits have dismissed talk of a
housing bubble, labeling it ‘misleading’.
Speaking at the Melbourne Property Outlook 2011
conference yesterday, Westpac senior economist
Justin Smirk said the real measure of a property
market’s viability is the amount of income coming
into it.
‘While it may have become harder for single
households, dual income households are helping to
support the market,’ he said, dismissing suggestions
that the property market is too inflated and will pop
soon.
Many Australian property commentators and
economists agree with Westpac, arguing that
international ‘bubble doomsayers’ don’t understand
Australia’s unique property market dynamics.
