Smooth sailing for SydneyAccording to the experts, slow and steady property gains are likely in 2013.

PRESTIGE PRICE RISES AHEADAndrew Wilson

Sydney median dwellingprices this year are set torecord a similar result to lastyear, rising by between 3 percent and 5 per cent dependingon the state of the localeconomy, the outlook for

which remains optimistic. The Sydney marketrecovered from the mild correction phase of2011 to record its highest-ever median houseprice over the December quarter last year. Ledby a rising sharemarket, Sydney’s prestigemarkets will improve gradually, driven bygrowing perceptions of value opportunitiesand rising prosperity.Dr Andrew Wilson is senior economist for theFairfax-owned Australian Property Monitors

SUPPLY TIGHT, BUT BUYERS WARYCameron Kusher

Sydney continues toexperience difficulty withobtaining sufficient newhousing supply and this islikely to continue to supportincreases in home values.However, we believe any

increase in value throughout the year is likelyto be, at best, about the rate of inflation. Wehave already seen that aggressive cuts tointerest rates and subsequent reductions inmortgage rates are not generating the sameresponse in the housing market that theyhave in the past, with consumers taking amore conservative approach to debt.Cameron Kusher is senior research analyst withRP Data

GROWTH IN OUTER RINGLouis Christopher

Last year’s forecast for Sydney came in at thelower end of our 4 per cent to 7 per cent rangebecause interest-rate cuts were not fully

passed on. Yet there wassome capital growth,particularly in the outer ringof Sydney, which recorded acapital growth rate range of4 per cent to 7 per cent,outperforming the greater

Sydney housing market. The outer ring willcontinue to outperform this year based onthis affordability-driven recovery that istaking hold. Prestige suburbs willunderperform once again.Louis Christopher is the managing director ofSQM Research

A YEAR FOR MARKETRECOVERYLisa Bradley

We are expecting goodrecovery after the minimalgrowth of the past two years.For houses this year, we’re

forecasting 7 per cent growth, and for units,4 per cent. With interest rates andunemployment low, while savings and sharesare up, consumers will be increasinglyconfident to buy property. The federalelection will clash with the traditional springpeak, slowing volume and prices for a monthor two before a significant upturn. We’re alsoseeing renewed interest in the market fromAussie expats.Lisa Bradley is a buyer’s agent and co-founderof finderskeepers.com.au

INVESTORS TO RETURNGRADUALLYRod Cornish

We expect modest, single-digit house price growth forthe Sydney residentialmarket this year,

predominantly for mid-priced property,including apartments within 10 kilometres ofthe city centre. For owner-occupiers, this isthe sector that will be most influenced from

changes to mortgage rates. Investors, whotypically wait for some momentum to build,should gradually enter the market at the midto low price point, where rental yields arehighest. At the upper end, which is moreclosely tied to the improving global financialmarkets, it’s likely that we’re close to thebottom of the pricing cycle.Rod Cornish is head of real estate strategy atMacquarie Capital

MOMENTUM SET TO KEEP BUILDINGHans Kunnen

The Sydney property marketis picking itself up off thefloor. The global economicbackdrop has improved,interest rates are lower andthe population continues togrow. Few expect a runawaymarket this year – those days

are behind us – but house price growth in theregion of 5 per cent to 10 per cent is withingrasp. Since this time last year, rents haverisen, incomes have risen, and the supply ofnew property has been limited. Last year,prices rose about 1.5 per cent; this year,something more is expected.Hans Kunnen is the chief economist atSt George Bank

HIGH HOPES FOR CENTRAL AREASHarry Triguboff

I expect this year to be verygood. The prices did not risemuch for a long time. Theinterest rates are low and willget lower. There is someincrease in our properties,and that will continue. TheChinese buyers are very

strong. And there is a big migration of youngpeople from outer areas to the centralpositions, where we operate.Harry Triguboff is the managing director ofMeriton Group

Gloom lifts, mood shiftsOptimism is emerging as several key indicatorspoint to a modest rebound, writes Kate Farrelly.

BUYERS and sellers of Sydney can breathe acollective sigh of relief. There appears to beconsensus among market commentators thatprices have finally reached equilibrium, withno further falls on the horizon except thosepredicted by the most pessimistic ofonlookers. Even at the prestige end of themarket, the news is encouraging, and after aprolonged period of fence-sitting, investorsare airing their cheque books.

The senior economist at AustralianProperty Monitors, Dr Andrew Wilson, saysSydney’s economy is one of the country’s topperformers, with unemployment of about5 per cent, a tight rental market andhistorically low interest rates.

‘‘A year ago, some pundits were predictinglots of doom and gloom in the economy, andthat hasn’t happened,’’ Wilson says.

However, moderating influences will meansluggish price growth at best. Wilson saysSydneysiders still have issues with the cost ofliving and are likely to procrastinate at

election time. That said, he is forecastingmedian prices to grow by 3 per cent to 5 percent in 2013.

The managing director of SQM Research,Louis Christopher, is more bullish, with aforecast of 5 per cent to 9 per cent growth.

‘‘The psyche has been totally battered forthe past four years and we’re long overdue fora good year, and I think this is going to be theyear,’’ Christopher says.

‘‘Since 2008, it’s been a nervous economy,with people always finding something toworry about. Now the Unites States market isimproving, Europe is not going to implode,and China is having a soft landing. Things aregoing to be better.’’

St George’s chief economist, Hans Kunnen,is equally optimistic, with a forecast of 5 percent to 10 per cent growth.

‘‘Everyone was burnt and is mindful ofmistakes made, but things are getting better,’’Kunnen says. ‘‘The stories we’re hearing in2013 are less gloomy, and consumer

sentiment has picked up as a result. We’vebeen under-building for five years, so there’spent-up demand. The whole climate forinvestors is improving and that will flowthrough to the housing market.’’

The chief executive of McGrath EstateAgents, John McGrath, is also expectinggrowth. ‘‘We’ve seen the distressed sales lastyear. Most of those vendors who were forced tosell homes have sold, there’s been a moppingup of existing inventory, and I see growthbeyond that,’’ he says. ‘‘The solid economyadds up to a more confident economicenvironment, and if people in the marketplaceare confident and can borrow cheaply, theytend to buy and invest in property.’’

The failure of interest-rate cuts to provideany significant stimulus to the propertymarket in 2012 was a talking point for bothcommentators and consumers.

‘‘The days of cheaper mortgages fuelling amajor spike in real estate activity areseemingly behind us, especially as the lenders

seem determined not to pass on the cuts infull,’’ the chief executive of Raine & Horne,Angus Raine, says. ‘‘It’s possibly a case ofimproved financial literacy among Australianconsumers, but more home owners andinvestors are weighing up additional factors,such as job security in the short, medium andlong term; potential legislative and politicalchanges; as well as the outlook for the globaland Australian economies, before making amove into a property.’’

First-home buyersWith only a handful of exceptions, agentsacross Sydney have reported a drop in first-home buyer activity. The latest housingfinance release from the Australian Bureau ofStatistics confirms the contraction indemand, with first-home buyer mortgagesfalling to a 20-year low after the expiry offirst-home buyer subsidies on existingdwellings on September 30 last year.

‘‘We’re not going to see a lot of activity from

first-home buyers in the first part of the yearbecause most have already bought,’’ Wilsonsays. ‘‘The demand was brought forward bythe expiry of the grant.’’

Wilson says it’s a ‘‘tough ask’’ for buyers togo 50 kilometres to 60 kilometres out of thecity to find homes, yet in the southern andwestern suburbs, the core market is houses atSydney’s entry price point.

Bankstown and Campbelltown agentscontinue to field strong inquiries from first-home buyers up to $400,000; Parramatta hasbuyers up to $600,000. Raine says Fairfield,Guildford and Windsor remain attractivesuburbs for first-home buyers, with housespriced at about $400,000; Finders Keepersbuyers’ agent Lisa Bradley says first-homebuyers are active in the inner west, where theentry level is generally well above $600,000.

The general manager of Laing + Simmons,Leanne Pilkington, says demand from first-home buyers will remain robust, but she addsthat buyers are no longer under pressure tomake quick decisions in the absence offinancial incentives from the government.

Upgraders/DownsizersAfter much biting of nails and shuffling offinance, upgraders and downsizers areexpected to bite the bullet this year as thedust on new pricing levels settles.

‘‘Upgraders were active because of flatprices for higher-end product, enablinggrowing families to refinance mortgages atcompetitive rates to take advantage of thenarrowing in the price gap between middle-and top-end properties,’’ Pilkington says.

Raine says upgraders and downsizers whohave been sitting on their hands since 2008are ready to act.

‘‘They’re now thinking, ‘We’ve waited longenough’, and are keen to get moving as themarket is trending upwards.’’

Given that large numbers of potentialvendors adopted a wait-and-see attitudethroughout 2011 and 2012, 2013 could seepent-up demand from upgraders, a managerwith BIS Shrapnel, Angie Zigomanis, says.

Prestige propertyWilson sees signs for a better prestigeproperty market in 2013.

‘‘The sharemarket is certainly at thehighest point it’s reached over the past coupleof years, and it’s no coincidence that risingactivity in equity markets works its way intothe prestige property markets, which havebeen dragging the chain over the past fewyears,’’ he says. ‘‘There’s a growing feeling ofprosperity, which might get those change-upbuyers up and running. I think the $2 millionto $4 million price point will be themost active.’’

The national research director of RP Data,Tim Lawless, says the premium market willmove out of its slump more quickly than less-expensive markets.

‘‘We have already seen the top 20 per centof the market, based on price, start to slightlyoutperform the most affordable end of themarket, reversing a trend ofunderperformance that has been evidentsince late 2010,’’ Lawless says, adding thatone of the key areas to watch is the easternsuburbs, where values remain more than12 per cent off their peak.

InvestorsCommentators were expecting investors toreturn to the market in 2012, but agentsreport that interest has only really ramped upin recent months. Agents on the lower northshore reported a boost in the number ofinvestors after first-home buyers withdrewfrom the market.

‘‘I think this is where we will experience amini boom, with plenty of competition andstrong investor interest in 2013,’’ the directorof McGrath Neutral Bay, Piers van Hamburg,says. ‘‘They returned last year, thanks to thelower rates and better returns.’’

On the northern beaches, in the north-westand the eastern suburbs, mum and dadinvestors are moving away from thesharemarket due to poor performance andusing their super funds to invest in property.

Boasting some of Sydney’s cheapesthousing stock, Campbelltown and Blacktownare both magnets for investors, and inCabramatta and Penrith, investors make upalmost 50 per cent of the market. But inSydney’s southern suburbs, investors are thinon the ground.

Scaling back to free up funds for grand plans

PETER and Rachel Muntonhave plans for 2013. Theywould like to take a trip toEurope, send children Kai andAria to private schools, andcontinue to build Peter’sLondon-based business.

As much as they love theirHeather Buttrose-designedhouse, buying a cheaper homewill open other doors.

‘‘We could have kept it, butit would have limited what elsewe could do,’’ says Peter, whowas delighted by the$6.5 million sale resultthrough Ward Partners agentMatthew Ward.

The newly built Hunters Hillhouse is made from sandstonerecycled on site, zinc, doublebrick and glass. It boasts fivebedrooms, a huge office,

multiple living spaces, adouble garage and a pool. TheMuntons plan to downsize alittle and are looking for ahome with four bedrooms, ahome office, good-size livingspaces and space for a pool ona block between 800 and1200 square metres.

‘‘We don’t mind an old housethat we could do a few minorrenovations to, or we could getanother knock-down,’’ Petersays. The Muntons’ budget isvariable depending on theproperty: up to $4 million fora finished house and up to$2 million for a knock-down.

‘‘We love the area so wewould like to stay on thepeninsula,’’ Peter says. ‘‘Theviews here are phenomenal.’’

New mindset fuels salesHipsters and downsizers turn their backs on suburban blocksin favour of cosmopolitan lifestyle, writes Kate Farrelly.

THE official figures are in: the Sydneyapartment market outperformed the housemarket in 2012 by a quietly convincing2.2 percentage points. And the experts saywe’re in for more of the same.

The senior economist at AustralianProperty Monitors, Andrew Wilson, isforecasting growth of at least 5 per cent forunits in 2013.

‘‘In 2012, the Sydney unit market grew by5.6 per cent, compared with 3.4 per cent forhouses, reaching a record median unit pricein the December quarter of $475,314,’’ Wilsonsays. ‘‘There’s certainly a lot of momentum inthe unit market, which is no real surprise andis set to continue this year.’’

The head of real estate strategy atMacquarie Capital, Rod Cornish, believesincreased demand for apartments is more astructural, long-term trend due to affordability.

‘‘Apartment developers are seeing anincrease in interest in their newdevelopments, with more owner-occupiers

coming in to what is traditionally an investormarket,’’ he says. ‘‘Mid-priced stockpositioned 10 to 15 kilometres from the cityshould do well this year.’’

The national sales director at Meriton,James Sialepis, has seen first-hand the returnof momentum to the market and is bullish ongrowth prospects.

‘‘There is no doubt that the run of interest-rate cuts down to 3 per cent has underpinneda recovery, creating improved affordabilityand increased buyer confidence,’’ he says.

‘‘The notion that apartment living issecondary to house and land is nowcompletely forgotten. Purchasers areattracted by location and price. Manyapartment developments are developed inpremium land-locked areas that are close toemployment, transport, entertainment andeducation. These areas offer opportunities toenjoy a cosmopolitan lifestyle withconvenience, at an affordable price point.’’

The cosmopolitan lifestyle is a key

drawcard in the Sydney apartment market.‘‘People are now becoming more attached tothe lifestyle scenario of unit life,’’ Wilson says.‘‘Buyers are eschewing the traditional Aussiebackyard for other things: boutique shoppingprecincts, eating precincts, access andamenity. First-home buyers, investors andchange-up buyers are all in the queue to buyapartments.’’

First-home buyers and investorsThe state government withdrew its$7000 first home owners’ grant on existinghomes on September 31, 2012, replacing itwith a $15,000 first home owners’ grant fornew dwellings. The impact on the market hasbeen mixed, with many agents reporting littlechange in buyer numbers, while others haveseen first-home buyers leave the market,often to be replaced by investors.

Developers of new apartments have beenclear winners in the changeover and arelooking forward to high turnover in 2013.

‘‘We have seen a huge increase in first-homebuyer activity, making up between 50 to60 per cent of purchasers,’’ a director ofHYECORP Property Group, StephenAbolakian, says. ‘‘However, the biggestheadline for 2013, we believe, will be the returnof the investor. With interest rates where theyare, we are seeing more and more investorssick and tired of 3 or 4 per cent on their termdeposits when they can buy an apartment andthe rents will cover the interest repayments.’’

Investors increasingly include thosebuying property for their self-managed superfund, a trend that has been slowly gatheringpace since funds became eligible to borrow toacquire property.

‘‘Despite a bounce in 2012, many are stillspooked by the toll the global financial crisisenacted on their sharemarket returns,’’ thechief executive of Raine & Horne,Angus Raine, says.

‘‘As a result, self-managed super funds andinvestors have taken a closer interest in

entry-level real estate with good rental yields,a situation I expect will continue in 2013.’’

Dozens of agents Domain spoke toconfirmed the emergence of self-managedsuper funds as a major player in the propertyinvestment market. Another emerging trendis that of ‘‘intergenerational competition’’ forapartments, a term borrowed by a chiefeconomist at St George Bank, Hans Kunnen,to describe a situation where first-homebuyers of new apartments are competingwith their parents’ generation, who arelooking to downsize. Kunnen says thephenomenon is most prevalent in the innercity and is compounded by demand fromretirees who are downsizing.

With all the fundamentals in place, themarket is set to become a magnet forinvestors, Raine & Horne’s chief auctioneer,Peter Baldwin, says.

‘‘[The year] 2013 is the ‘it’s time’ of theeconomy,’’ he says. ‘‘With rents at a robustlevel in the affordable and mid-range end ofthe market, we see old-fashioned investmentphilosophy coming into play. Low interestrates, strong tenant demand, flattenedprices, limited stock, [and] potential upsideare the key elements here, along with the‘bricks and mortar’ safety consideration aspitched against a turbulent global economy.’’

Prestige propertyThe sale of high-end apartments slowed in2012, the director of CBRE, David Milton,says, but 2013 has potential to deliver betterresults. Milton says there is more confidencein the business community and largenumbers of Chinese buyers are takingadvantage of the new investment visa,available to business-savvy migrants with atleast $5 million to invest in Australia.

‘‘Those buyers are generally very wealthyindividuals and will want a suitably luxurioushome to live in,’’ Milton says. ‘‘I think therewill be a focus on property that’s eitherfinished or under construction so there’s nota long-term wait.’’

CBRE is selling high-end apartments in

Metro at Chatswood, and Eliza and TheResidence in the city.

On the northern beaches, an LJ HookerMona Vale agent, Ryan Petrie, says babyboomers are in ‘‘full-swing, downsizingmode’’ and are buying into luxuryapartments on golf courses and near thewater. Oakstand Property Group has soldhalf of the apartments at its newly completeddevelopment, Setai, at Narrabeen Beach.Comprising 18 beachfront apartments pricedfrom $1.9 million, Setai was designed by localarchitect Gartner Trovato and featuresJamie Durie-designed landscaping.

New developmentsThere is plenty of choice at the moreaffordable end of the price spectrum, despitecries of stock shortages from commentators.Some regions, such as the upper north shore,are facing temporary gluts while others

impatiently await the launch of new stock.The principal of Cunninghams Property,

John Cunningham, laments a lack of newapartments in Manly, while in Burwood, aStrathfield Partners agent, Norman So, saysinvestors have now soaked up a heavy releaseof new apartments.

The principal of Ray White Rockdale, ConEconomos, reports quality new apartmentsin the Rockdale area are selling well, and theprincipal of McGrath St George, MatthewKing, says overseas buyers are snapping upnew apartments in Wolli Creek.

In Penrith, 20-somethings are buyingnew villas and townhouses priced between$250,000 and $350,000, while inBankstown, new two-bedroom apartmentsthat started selling at $380,000 are nowfetching up to $430,000.

Sialepis says sales inquiries are upsignificantly across Meriton’s Sydney

display centres, and Frasers Propertyreports steady sales of apartments in itsPutney Hill development, with prices startingat $490,000.

HYECORP’s heavy investment in the LaneCove market is also paying dividends, with ahealthy take-up of off-the-plan propertiesstarting at about $400,000.

HYECORP’s Abolakian says 43 of 48apartments were sold in Eleeza over 12months, more than 40 of 62 apartments soldin Lora over six months, and pre-salesaccounted for 10 per cent of the units inSevana, due to be launched this month.

‘‘Although the lower north shore is a highlydesirable place to live . . . it wasn’t on the radarfor [buyers] who were looking for brand-newstock,’’ Abolakian says. ‘‘Now that there areprojects starting, all of a sudden buyers areputting the lower north shore at the top oftheir ‘desired areas’ list.’’

Selling is easier than buying

Frustrated . . . Maree Bellamy is lookingfor a place to live. Photo: Steven Siewert

MEDICAL practitioner Maree Bellamy couldbe forgiven for throwing in the towel on herhunt for a new home. After six months ofscouring Camperdown for a two-bedroom-plus-study apartment, she has come upempty-handed.

‘‘I’ve been seriously interested in threeapartments,’’ Bellamy says.

‘‘For one, the body corporate recordswere of concern; another, the vendorwithdrew from sale; and the third was an off-the-plan unit where the price jumped upwhen it came time to purchase.’’

Bellamy sold her one-bedroom apartmentin Venables, a converted nurses’ homewithin the City Quarter development, in July2012 through agent Maria Magrin of BelleProperty Annandale.

‘‘I’m getting quite frustrated,’’ she says.‘‘Selling was so easy. Maria had a bank of

people who were looking. She brought threepeople through and the first guy bought it.’’

Looking for something bigger, preferablyin Camperdown, Bellamy says she’d like anapartment with a bit of character andpersonality, a good layout, with parking andno stairs.

Her budget is variable to account forproperties that need renovating, and rangesfrom $750,000 to $900,000.

‘‘There’s been nothing on the market inDecember and January so I’m waiting fornew stock to come on,’’ she says.

‘‘Camperdown is a fantastic location, I’dbe happiest if I could find something here.

‘‘It’s so easy to get to the city — I can beat work in Bondi Junction via the tunnel in12 minutes and there is a good cafeculture nearby.’’

Flying start sets sceneFUN is probably not the first word thatsprings to mind when it comes to buying andselling property, but for the principal ofCentury 21 Blunts, Warren Bartlett, the startof the year was a fun time to be in real estateon the lower north shore.

‘‘The first few weeks of the year have beenmarvellous,’’ Bartlett says. ‘‘We had the bestperiod we’ve had in 13 years. There was noconfidence at the end of last year, but that hasturned around.’’

Bartlett says everything from $600,000units to $2 million homes have been moving,but while he expects a lift in house prices thisyear, he is not bullish on unit prices. ‘‘Theymay drop because there will be an oversupplyof new properties coming on the market.’’

A director of McGrath Neutral Bay, Piersvan Hamburg, had just one February auctionlisted in 2012; for 2013 he has 17.

‘‘I am quietly optimistic,’’ he says. ‘‘I thinkthe low rates, improving confidence frombuyers and improved affordability are allhaving a positive effect. I think we will seemoderate growth.’’

After a sluggish 2012, the director of WardPartners, Matthew Ward, is also expectingstronger buyer interest in Hunters Hill thisyear, with ‘‘a gentle lift in prices’’ a strong

possibility. With many homes priced between$1.5 million and $2.5 million, Ward found thathis database was the best way to secure sales.

‘‘About 80 per cent of all sales locally are topeople we have met previously,’’ he says.‘‘About 50 per cent of the properties we sellare to buyers already living and established inthe area. This gives us the advantage ofknowing when a buyer is genuine.’’

The genuine buyers should includeinvestors this year, but not in all parts of thelower north shore. Van Hamburg is tippinginvestors to lead the charge in 2013, driven bylow interest rates and high yields.

‘‘I personally think this is where we willexperience a mini boom, with plenty ofcompetition and strong investor interest in2013,’’ he says.

‘‘In my 15 years in real estate, I cannotremember seeing a situation like this, wherethe rental return in most cases will cover theinterest repayments.’’

The principal of Richardson & WrenchMosman, Stephen Patrick, says sharemarketvolatility has sent investors back to property,with interest strongest between $300,000and $1 million.

But for Bartlett, who specialises in LaneCove and the surrounding area, investors are

still scarce. ‘‘Theinvestors areholding off a bit,maybe waiting for achange ofgovernment,’’ hesays. Someinvestors havejoined first-homebuyers choosingnew property overold in a bid tocapitalise on the lastgovernment grantstill standing – a $15,000 handout for first-home buyers purchasing a new home orbuilding one.

HYECORP Property Group has threeprojects under way in Lane Cove and isselling to first-home buyers and investors.

‘‘We have seen a huge increase in first-home buyer activity, making up between

50 and 60 per cent of purchasers,’’ directorStephen Abolakian says. ‘‘However, thebiggest headline for 2013 will be the return ofthe investor.’’

Abolakian says a resurgence in the lowernorth shore’s businesses, cafes, restaurantsand bars, plus investment by the council, isboosting demand. Kate Farrelly

Bargainhuntersout of luckFANCY a large house with a pool andmanicured gardens on the upper north shorebut still waiting to nab a bargain? Localagents say you shouldn’t hold your breath.

‘‘We’re still getting bargain hunters whothink they’re the only buyers in the world andthat the owners will listen to their ridiculouslylow offers, which is just not the case,’’ thedirector of Belle Pymble, Ian Clarke, says.

McGrath agent Scott Farquhar agrees:‘‘The more prestigious homes priced at$4 million up won’t drop any further,’’ he says.‘‘The owners are not forced to sell, they canbide their time.’’

Farquhar says 2013 has already producednew buyers for stock left on the shelf from2012. Improvement in the equities markethas lured some luxury buyers fromhibernation, though not in enough numbersto push up prices.

The principal of Chadwick Real Estate,

Scott Chadwick, says he has secured somegood high-end sales recently but doesn’texpect growth for prestige property whileconcern over the situation in the US andEurope remains.

And with major rezonings in the uppernorth shore prompting a rash of newmedium-density developments in recentyears, growth for luxury units is alsoexpected to be lacklustre.

‘‘A lot of stock has been built and sold in thepast few years,’’ Chadwick says. ‘‘They’reselling reasonably well, but with more supply,you can’t expect the same growth in valuethat comes from a constrained supply.’’

It’s a different story for mid-priced familyhomes close to a railway station.

‘‘Anything under $1 million and you’rekilled in the rush,’’ Clarke says. ‘‘And anythingunder $1.5 million is still quite strong.’’

Chadwick and Farquhar say families withchildren make up the bulk of clients, and theircurrent preference is for renovated homes.

‘‘If a home has character, a couple ofseparate living areas and an open-plankitchen all leading out to a level garden it’seasy to sell, particularly if it’s located withinreasonable distance from the rail line,’’Farquhar says.

Chadwick says there is some good value tobe found in properties renovated to highstandards where replacement costs are hardto match. He nominates both north and southTurramurra as areas worth exploring.

Australian Property Monitors is morebullish this year than last on where pricesmight be headed in 2013.

Ten suburbs are earmarked for housegrowth of more than 5 per cent. Theseinclude Pymble, Lindfield, East Killara and

Hornsby. For units, Chatswood, Roseville andSt Ives are mooted for growth of more than5 per cent.

The senior economist at APM, AndrewWilson, says upper north shore properties upto $2 million will do well in 2013, but moreexpensive stock will continue to languish asthe take up of prestige property isconcentrated in areas closer to the harbour.

First-home buyers and investors areflocking to Hornsby for older-style units, andLJ Hooker Hornsby agent Andrew Laidlawsays he doesn’t have enough supply to meetdemand. Hornsby has also attracted out-of-area interest in its housing stock, with buyersmoving from the northern beaches andStrathfield for more affordable property.Laidlaw says freestanding houses in Hornsbystart at about $650,000.

Northern beaches attract rash of baby boomersBABY boomers are bolstering the northernbeaches property market, with agents in thearea reporting heightened activity from theover-55 age group.

The principal of Century 21 Avalon,Stephanie Hammond, says downsizers madeup the largest contingent of buyers for heragency during 2012.

‘‘Everyone wants to retire to the uppernorthern beaches,’’ she says. ‘‘In my area,house prices need to improve to make way forapartments to move up, but there is ashortage of apartments at the luxury end.’’

Ryan Petrie, of LJ Hooker Mona Vale, saysunits in Mona Vale are outperforming houses.

‘‘We are seeing a strong trend change inapartment prices because baby boomers aresnapping up new luxury apartments on golfcourses and near the water.’’

Petrie says that in suburbs around

Pittwater, the most active buyers are thoseaged over 55. ‘‘Recently, a large number ofover-55s apartments have been built to caterfor this market. They sell well at $1.5 millionto $2 million.’’

In and around Manly, where the medianhouse price jumped 16 per cent in 2012,upgraders and downsizers are out in equalnumbers, the principal of CunninghamsProperty, John Cunningham, says.

‘‘The baby boomers and divorcees areselling the $2 million family home and buyingsmall houses and apartments, semis andduplexes, while the upsizers are moving fromunits into semis,’’ he says. Cunningham isexpecting a revitalised market at the top endnow that the price slide has stopped.

‘‘Vendors of higher-end propertiesdropped their asking price to meet themarket and new vendors then came on at the

right level,’’ he says. ‘‘We found that to be thekey to our success: making sure peopleweren’t living in fantasyland.’’

Hammond has been fielding good inquiriesfor properties over $2 million, but she saysthe sub-$1 million market remains thestrongest, while for Petrie, the marketremains soft for properties in the $2 millionto $3 million bracket. At the low and middlesectors of the market, activity from investorsis gradually picking up as first-home buyerstake a back seat and yields improve.

‘‘We expect an increase on the previousyear, with mum and dad investors returning,’’the director of Raine & Horne Manly andFreshwater, Marlena Sait, says. ‘‘They aremoving away from the sharemarket due topoor performance and using super funds toinvest back into bricks and mortar.’’

Sait says yields range up to 5.5 per cent,

with the vacancy rate about or below 1 percent. Both Hammond and Petrie report manydownsizers are buying properties with plansto lease them before moving in.

For the year ahead, Cunningham is backinghomes priced between $700,000 and$900,000 in up-and-coming suburbs that areaccessible to Chatswood and the beach.

‘‘More people are having three and fourkids and they need backyards,’’ he says.

Australian Property Monitors forecastsgrowth of more than 5 per cent for ninesuburbs on the northern beaches, includingCurl Curl and Manly. Senior economistAndrew Wilson says the northern beachessuburbs were the most oversold in Sydney.

‘‘Coming off the lowest base, we expect tosee some price growth, particularly in theupper-end properties,’’ Wilson says.

Developerscall in thebulldozers Changing streetscapes . . . many older houses, such as 4 Fernhill Avenue, Epping, are

being demolished to make way for new developments.

IT’S out with the old and in with the new inmany pockets of the north-west, where oldhouses are being bulldozed to make way fordream homes and duplexes.

The principal of Better Homes Realty,Betty Ockerlander, says duplex sites arerunning out the door.

‘‘We’ve just set a record in Carlingford,fetching $1,116,500 for a duplex site with a$950,000 reserve,’’ she says. ‘‘The previousrecord was $1 million. The auction wentberserk, with interest from both developersand private buyers.’’

The director of First National West Ryde,Nick Matulic, is also fielding inquiries forpotential building sites.

‘‘There is huge demand for knock-downson large parcels of land for both singleresidential dwellings and multi-dwellingdevelopments,’’ he says.

‘‘I have found this demand to be consistent

across many suburbs throughout the north-west. Other properties that have attractedmassive numbers at open houses andmultiple offers are brand-new duplexesand period dwellings, particularlyCalifornian bungalows.’’

Matulic says his agency hit plenty of highnotes in 2012, securing some of the top salesin the region. ‘‘We achieved a record saleprice in Rydalmere, together with anothertwo top-five sale prices for the Ermingtonmarket in 2012,’’ he says.

‘‘Our clearance rate was outstanding, withonly one property passing in at auction, andthat was sold the very next day.’’

Ockerlander says Epping and surroundingsuburbs are also performing well.

‘‘Our area is a little bit of an islandcompared with the rest of Sydney and isdoing better than the rest of the city,’’ shesays. ‘‘We can tell by the numbers attending

open homes, the numbers of contracts issuedand the number of general inquiries thatthere’s a lot more interest out there, andwe’re already seeing an improvement inproperty prices.’’

Asian buyers – both Sydney-based andforeign parties – are particularly active inthe area.

‘‘A lot of Chinese buyers were hedging theirbets with the exchange rates too high to bringtheir money over,’’ Ockerlander says. ‘‘Now,they’re borrowing at lower rates, knowingthat if the exchange rates improve, they canpay off their debt.’’

Further north, the principal of LJ HookerThornleigh, Geoff Kaslar, says that while hisoffice has had a terrific start to the year, he isexpecting only moderate price growth in2013. ‘‘I think consumer sentiment improvedtowards the end of last year, with buyerssaying, ‘Let’s get through Christmas and the

new year and then get out there and make adecision,’ ’’ he says. ‘‘We’ve had high numbersthrough open homes and it will be interestingto see if the momentum continues.’’

Kaslar says investors are back in themarket and on the lookout for low-endproperties in good locations and on decentblocks that may be suitable for improvement.

Matulic says investors have always beenattracted to West Ryde and Meadowbank,thanks to the presence of three modes oftransport: the train, bus and ferry. There hasalso been a flurry of development in the area,including the rebuilt Top Ryde City shoppingcomplex and the West Ryde Urban Village, amixed-use development.

‘‘This revitalisation of the area andcreation of jobs has attracted keen interestfrom investors and will ensure investordemand in the Ryde area for years to come,’’Matulic says. Kate Farrelly

Stability evokes optimism after subdued yearIT WAS a resoundingly flat year for realestate in the city and eastern suburbs, withlimited price growth and sales volume fallingfrom 10,197 in 2011 to 8863 in 2012.

Median house prices fell by more than10 per cent in Tamarama, Vaucluse, DoubleBay, Bellevue Hill, Clovelly and Pyrmont, withmedian unit prices dropping more than 10 percent in Clovelly, Centennial Park, DawesPoint, Little Bay, Point Piper and The Rocks.

However, agents are cautiously optimisticthat the discounting may be waning.

‘‘Overall, we see house prices stable in2013,’’ a director of BHR Estate Agents,Reece Coleman, says.

‘‘In the past six months, the east seems tohave reached its equilibrium, and the level ofdiscounting has reduced.’’

Coleman says there is now enough sales

evidence for vendors and buyers todetermine price based on recent levels,rather than those set in 2009 and 2010.

‘‘We see areas like Dover Heights, Rose Bayand Vaucluse coming back as more buyersaccept the current value of the large blockscompared with trendier beachside pockets.’’

Coleman says it is a great time to be a buyerupgrading to a $2 million-plus freestandinghome, and a director of GoodyerDonnelley,Pauline Goodyer, agrees.

‘‘This year people who are looking to upsizeare realising there’s not going to be a moreaffordable time than at present, with interestrates at their lowest point ever,’’ she says.

Low interest rates have stirred investoractivity in the eastern suburbs.

‘‘A lot of investors were sitting on thesidelines in 2012 waiting for the right time to

come into the market,’’ Goodyer says. ‘‘Nowthey’re out looking, and I sense they will lookto buy within the next few months.’’

Goodyer says apartments that are close tothe city and transport remain the strongestperformers in suburbs such as Bondi Beach,Coogee, Woollahra and Edgecliff.

Investors are also looking at Paddington, atrend that the managing director of SQMResearch, Louis Christopher, puts down tothe yield differential.

‘‘You can buy a two-bedroom unit inPaddington from about $550,000 – a massiveprice differential from a three-bedroom semiat $2 million-plus – and get $650 a week inrent, so there’s a good magnitude of demandthere,’’ he says.

The chief auctioneer at Richardson &Wrench, Peter Baldwin, is backing a growth

ripple in 2013, starting with inner-city terracesand semis in Paddington, Bondi Junction,Bondi, Bondi Beach and Darlinghurst.

‘‘In top-end suburbs, the ripple willcommence at the bottom of the price chainand move its way up,’’ Baldwin says, addingthat the upswing will have a positive impacton the Potts Point and Elizabeth Bay markets,where rail links and good educationalfacilities attract buyers.

A director of BresicWhitney, ShannanWhitney, says the new-found popularity ofRedfern as a rental proposition should filterthrough to increased sales.

‘‘The uniqueness and rawness of Redfernseems to be gathering momentum at both atenant level and purchaser level,’’ he says.

‘‘I truly feel Redfern is becoming astandout proposition.’’ Kate Farrelly

Double-digit defianceTurnover town . . .this Birchgrovehome inRowntree Streetsold a weekbefore auctionfor $1,315,000.SUBURBS in the inner west continue to defy

overall market sentiment by securing recordsales and achieving double-digit pricegrowth. According to Australian PropertyMonitors data, a total of 14 suburbs racked updouble-digit price growth in 2012 for eitherhouses or apartments, the best result for anySydney region.

‘‘The inner west is going gangbusters andachieving record prices,’’ the senioreconomist at APM, Dr Andrew Wilson, says.‘‘It offers lower prices than prestige suburbsand is attractive to buyers up to $1.5 million,with its emerging lifestyle attractions. Peopleare moving there and staying because theylike the neighbourhood.’’

The chief executive of McGrath, JohnMcGrath, says the inner west has now foundfavour with downsizers. Suburbs such asNewtown and Erskineville have becomedrawcards for the empty-nester marketlooking for an inner-city lifestyle.

‘‘They’re looking for a bit of value,’’McGrath says. ‘‘They’re looking at areas thatwere on the fringe and are not traditionaltargets but are increasing in popularity.’’

In Marrickville and surrounding suburbs,homes in need of renovation are attractingthe greatest interest.

Maria Hodgson, of Day & Hodgson RealEstate, says there has been strongcompetition for such properties, resulting insales well above the reserve. The inner west isalso popular with first-home buyers andentry-level investors.

The chief executive of Raine & Horne, AngusRaine, is tipping between 5 per cent and 7 percent growth in apartment prices for suburbssuch as Summer Hill and Dulwich Hill.

‘‘These popular suburbs are close to thecity and enjoy excellent train services, whileentertainment districts such as Leichhardtand Newtown are also nearby,’’ Raine says.

The director of LJ Hooker Dulwich Hill,David Diamantopoulos, says inner-citybuyers looking for better-value property withgood city transport links are moving toDulwich Hill.

‘‘Just two kilometres closer to the city maysee a buyer spend another 30 per cent for acomparable property,’’ he says. ‘‘Dulwich Hillcaters to buyers who are often afterconvenience and lifestyle.’’

The sales director at Strathfield Partners,Norman So, says investors who have beenmonitoring the market for some months arenow ready to buy, with a price range between$500,000 and $650,000 the most popular. So

is backing house-price growth forBurwood andHomebush this year.There was littleprice growth forproperty in Balmainduring 2012, BelleProperty Balmainagent MoniqueDower says, but alack of supplyensured propertiesdidn’t stay on themarket for long.

Dower says lowvacancy rates and yields of about 5 per centshould attract investors in 2013.

‘‘There have been huge numbers throughour rental properties since the beginning ofthe year,’’ she says. ‘‘We believe this, in turn,will see more and more investors in themarket, plus people purchasing propertythrough their self-managed super funds.’’

Investors are also being lured to Five Dock,where yields are about 5 per cent.

‘‘We have already experienced increasedinquiries from investors looking to snap uphigh-yielding properties, and believe this willcontinue throughout 2013,’’ the director ofRaine & Horne Five Dock, Sam Varrica, says.

‘‘Due to a severe shortage of availablelettings, competition has been extreme, withapplicants offering more than the askingprice and creating a bidding war.’’

Investors pick up where first-timers left off

Sales strip . . . this three-bedroom villa at 3/49-51 Great

Western Highway inKingswood is up for $349,950.

IF YOU’RE hoping to buy property in Sydney’swestern suburbs, you can breathe easy: thenumber of indomitable first-home buyers arefinally on the wane.

Office of State Revenue data shows five ofthe top 10 suburbs for which first-home benefitswere claimed in 2012 were western suburbs,topped by Westmead, which generated morethan $7 million in benefits.

According to Australian Property Monitors,Westmead was also one of only seven suburbsacross Sydney to record growth in its medianhouse price of more than 25 per cent in 2012,with the current median at $695,000.

‘‘The area around Westmead has alwaysbeen strong, being so close to Parramatta andwith the hospital there a big drawcard,’’ thedirector of Starr Partners Real Estate, MarkHurley, says.

Hurley says the rezoning of land facing thetransport corridor along the Great WesternHighway also promises to be a game-changer.Fibro homes may give way to four-or-five-level residential blocks with commercialspace underneath.

The recent replacement of the first homeowners’ grant with the First Home – New Homescheme has slowed the market a little, butHurley says investors have picked up the slack.

‘‘Rental yields are rising and a lot of whatwe’re showing buyers now offers close to a6 per cent return,’’ he says.

A principal of First National Stanton &Taylor, Greg Taylor, says 45 per cent of hissales in Penrith over the past six months havebeen to investors. ‘‘At the end of 2011, we wereswamped with first-home buyers while theinvestors sat back and waited for them to

drop out of the market. Now investor activityhas picked up substantially.’’

Taylor says rents have been increasingsteadily over the past five years because of ashortage of rental properties, while houseprices have dropped about 10 per cent over thesame period, with a recovery now under way.

‘‘Over the past 12 months, we experienceda 3 per cent to 5 per cent increase in prices,and for 2013, we expect about 5 per centgrowth,’’ he says.

In Blacktown, APM figures put house andunit growth for 2012 below 3 per cent, but theowner of Harcourts Unlimited, AndrewChrysanthou, says his agency has seen a10 per cent price increase across the board.

‘‘We’ve been getting some exceptionallyhigh prices late last year and this year,’’ hesays. ‘‘It’s a very stable market because it’s

affordable. Blacktown is one of Sydney’sbiggest hot spots, along with Seven Hills andProspect. These are favoured areas withfamilies and investors.’’

Windsor recorded growth of more than25 per cent, with its median house price risingto $516,000. But local agent John Wilkinson, ofWilkinsons Real Estate, says that while salesinquiries are off to a good start, he is yet to seeany positive effect on prices. The withdrawalof the first home buyer’s grant caused a drop insales that he hopes will be reversed asinvestors enter the fray.

‘‘Vacancy rates are still low with highdemand, and yields are quite reasonable,’’he says. ‘‘The Hawkesbury remainspopular for buyers looking to get a touchof rural living while being close enough tocommute to the city.’’ Kate Farrelly

Rents lead price chargeMarket entry . . . theCrowe family wereone of the firstto move intoThe Hermitagein Gledswood Hills,near Camden.

PROPERTY prices in the south-west areexpected to play catch-up this year afterrents streaked ahead on the back of acompetitive rental market.

‘‘We’re expecting an upward movement inprices,’’ the director of Ray White MacarthurGroup, Tim Doyle, says. ‘‘Rental returns areunbelievable, and prices will have to follow.’’

Doyle says a property bought for $300,000in Campbelltown will fetch up to $380 a weekin rent, a return of 6.5 per cent.

In Liverpool, yields can surpass 7 per cent,and the director of Century 21 CombinedLiverpool, Greg Andison, reports units sellingfor $230,000 and renting for $320 a week.

‘‘The rule of thumb is, generally, if it’sworth $100,000, you can expect $100 a weekin rent, but in the past 18 months, there’s beenan anomaly with yields,’’ Andison says. ‘‘Idon’t think rents are going to come back, somaybe property prices will catch up.’’

Combined with stable prices, the highyields have drawn investors to the market,and their numbers are expected to grow thisyear to match owner-occupiers. Lowerinterest rates, too, have spurred buyers.

‘‘Our area is sensitive to interest rates, so ifrates go down, it’s good for our market,’’Andison says. In Mount Annan, newlyweds

snapped up eight of 10 townhouses off theplan in a development due to settle in April.

‘‘There is a trend towards young couplesgetting into the market in the $300,000 to$400,000 price range,’’ Doyle says. ‘‘A lot ofpeople are upgrading from Campbelltown.’’

House and land packages are among thehottest tickets in the south-west, Doyle says,with a lack of land releases pushing up demand.

‘‘We deal with a core group of about sixbuilders, and releases last year were 100 percent sold before completion,’’ he says. ‘‘We’reaveraging eight to 10 sales every month.’’

In November 2012, buyers camped out atEdmondson Park for the first release ofLandcom blocks. Almost half of the 54 lots,which ranged up to 558 square metres andwere priced between $245,000 and $315,000,sold within three hours.

The chief executive of Raine & Horne,Angus Raine, says prospects for apartments inMiranda look promising. ‘‘It’s possible tosecure an older-style two-bedroom apartmentin the low $400,000s,’’ he says. ‘‘Growthprospects are underpinned by the fact that it’swell serviced by transport links and hasexcellent shopping precincts and schools.’’

Business could not be better for Peter Ly,sales manager of Raine & Horne Cabramatta,

who says he is benefiting from the boomingmarket in Canley Heights.

‘‘Cabramatta has become quiteexpensive, so Asian buyers, who like to beable to walk to the shops, are moving intoCanley Heights,’’ Ly says. ‘‘There’s a freebus between the two suburbs, and Canley

Vale Road is growing a restaurant strip forall nationalities.’’

Australian Property Monitors recordedmedian house price growth of 9.3 per cent forCanley Heights last year, and it forecastsgrowth of more than 5 per cent for thecoming year. Kate Farrelly

We confess. McDonald Jones was our inspiration.From the moment we first saw one of McDonald Jones’ display homes, we were really impressed

by the range and quality of their designs. We have no doubt that they build the best homes in

Australia. We love how functional and affordable their homes are. We know that renovating is

not for everyone and we reckon McDonald Jones has the solution you’ve been looking for.

View from the top rosy as signs point to growth

High end . . . this property inWoolooware Road, Burraneer,sold recently for $2.13 million.

THE rose-coloured glasses are out inSydney’s southern suburbs, with local agentssaying the market has turned a corner andproperty prices will enjoy moderate growthin 2013, especially in the upper price brackets.

The director of Highland Property Agents,David Highland, says there is good value forbuyers between $1 million and $2 million.

‘‘These homes, particularly around the$2 million mark, saw an adjustment in valueearly last year, so it’s a great opportunity forbuyers to get back into the market and buysomething for greater value,’’ Highland says.‘‘Most of these homes are renovated and in agood location, sometimes with water views.’’

Areas generating interest include SouthCronulla beachfront homes and Burraneerwaterfronts. Highland says downsizers arepreparing to sell their waterfront homes andare hoping to find low-maintenance

properties still with waterfront facilities. Hisagency will launch the high-end Dingle on theBay this month, a development overlookingGunnamatta Bay in Cronulla. Theapartments will range in price from$1.7 million to $5.5 million.

A director of Sanders Property Agents,Greg Calderwood, says although listings athis agency were down 10 per cent in 2012, a90 per cent clearance rate kept agents busy.

He says younger families were entering themarket in Jannali and its surrounds planningknock-down/rebuilds, and first-home buyersremained active up to $600,000 despite theexpiry of the owners grant.

In Rockdale, the principal of Ray White,Con Economos, says apartments about$500,000 are quickest to sell, often to out-of-area buyers seeking more-affordable homes.

The principal of McGrath St George,

Matthew King, has seen buyers from theinner west seeking better value but a similarlifestyle. King says the strongest sector of hismarket are houses priced up to $800,000 insuburbs with a train station nearby.

‘‘Suburbs like Banksia, Carlton andBeverley Hills are always extremelypopular; we get multiple bidders atauction,’’ he says. ‘‘We expect the same thisyear because the fundamentals that drivethat growth are still there.’’

While King is fielding inquiries from peoplewanting to invest in property for their self-managed super fund, other agents report thatinvestors are ‘‘few and far between’’.

Vacancy rates have started to lift above2 per cent and properties can take two tothree weeks to lease. ‘‘We’re having someopen homes with no interest and others withgood tenant applications,’’ King says. ‘‘It’s

patchy right now, but we anticipate that lagwill be picked up in the next month or so andvacancy rates will shift back down to between1 and 2 per cent.’’

Australian Property Monitors recordedprice growth of more than 25 per cent forhouses in Taren Point and 14.7 per cent inKurnell, while Sylvania was one of the bestunit performers with 25 per cent-plus growthin 2012. The senior economist at APM,Dr Andrew Wilson, is forecasting ‘‘solidgrowth’’ for the south’s waterway suburbs.

‘‘Suburbs like Sylvania Waters are quiteactive in the upper price bracket of $1 millionto $2 million with the tendency for people tochange up within the shire,’’ he says.

The chief auctioneer for Richardson &Wrench, Peter Baldwin, says local hot spots willinclude Peakhurst, Riverwood and Kingsgrove.

Will dream run roll on?

In demand . . . this two-bedroom cottage in Lang Street, Padstow, is for sale for $559,000.

CAN Canterbury-Bankstown continue itsdream run, adding double-figure growth toits median house price each year? AustralianProperty Monitors recorded an 11.5 per centincrease for 2012, but its senior economist,Dr Andrew Wilson, says it will be difficult torepeat the performance in 2013.

‘‘It becomes an affordability block forbuyers, who then begin looking to adjacentareas, in this case west and south-west,’’Wilson says.

But the chief auctioneer at Richardson &Wrench, Peter Baldwin, still has Canterbury-Bankstown near the top of his list for growth,saying the best-performing markets in 2013will be those with properties under theSydney median price of $656,000 for housesand $475,000 for strata properties.

Baldwin has highlighted Hurlstone Park,Belfield, Campsie, Croydon Park, Greenacre,Condell Park, Yagoona, Panania, Revesby andPadstow as having potential to outperformthe market.

The licensee of Alliance Real Estate,Charlie Garcia, says buyers with doubleincomes and no children are pushing upprices in Panania, Revesby and Padstow,attracted by updated shopping centres andtown centre improvements including extra

parking, more greenery and new footpaths.‘‘Originally, this was a postwar home areawith homes built in the 1940s and 1950s,’’Garcia says. ‘‘Those owners are nowdownsizing and tree-changing, and youngcouples are coming in, knocking these housesdown and rebuilding. These young couplesare looking to start a family. We have about15 schools in the area, plus the University ofWestern Sydney is also a big drawcard.’’

The principal of Ray White Bankstown,Charlie Sioud, says buyers from the innerwest are competing with locals on propertiespriced about $500,000, with a shortage ofsupply compounding demand. Also popularare houses on larger blocks where investorscan add a granny flat and double their rent.

‘‘Rents went up around 5 per cent in 2012and it looks like we’ll get more growth thisyear, with our vacancy factor pretty low,’’Sioud says.

Garcia says rents in the Revesby area rose7 per cent in 2012 and will keep going up. Hesays the Georges River is also supportingprices at the top of the market.

Garcia says his agency sold about 16 homespriced at more than $1.1 million in 2012.‘‘Picnic Point is a standout, the jewel in thecrown,’’ he says. ‘‘It attracts the more

established, older familieswho are living the lifestyleof the river and nationalpark and are happy to driveto the station.’’

The news is not so goodfor vendors with $1 million-plus properties in Campsie.Laing+Simmons Campsieagent George Arrage saysbuyers for top-end housesin the largely Asian suburbare few and far between,with smaller-scale, five-bedroom townhouses thepreferred option forupgraders. Campsie buyersare also snapping up newunits in Australand’s Clemton Parkdevelopment, where units start at $395,000.

New units are the flavour of the month inBankstown, where the managing director ofElders Bankstown, Joseph Mouwad, says

demand is outstripping supply, pushingprices up. ‘‘About 30 per cent of buyers arefirst-home buyers; the rest are investorslooking for a good return,’’ he says.
