Real talk

Over the course of the last 12 months, the property landscape has been transitioning from a seller’s to a buyer’s market. The shift has inspired some pretty reckless media coverage and warnings of catastrophic economic meltdown. Granted, this has been great for selling newspapers, but it’s not really reflective of what’s happening out there.

20 May 2019

The reality is that Australia isn’t one homogenous real estate market. In fact, it’s made up of many distinct markets, each marching to the beat of its own drum. While Sydney and Melbourne have seen property prices fall from historic highs, Brisbane and Perth are experiencing resurgent interest, and Hobart is practically booming.

The good news is that for people with multi-year horizons - especially first home buyers, who’ve been priced out of things for some time - the less frenzied market conditions represent a great chance to get a foot in the door. And it’s not just first home buyers; savvy investors continue to snatch up quality product with appreciation potential over the long-term.

Speaking of the long-term, what we’re seeing today is nothing new. As a company that’s been in the business of property since 1924, we’ve seen countless ups and downs over the course of 95 years. What we know for certain is that market conditions ebb and flow with the times, but Australia’s love affair with property endures. The keys to buying well are quality and resilience. Quality in the build, masterplan, location, and services around you. Resilience in the location’s ability to project a strong sense of place and pride.

This is what we keep in mind as we design and deliver the communities of tomorrow. Places that will stand the test of time and our residents are proud to call home. 

Learn more about our communities.

Property management made personal

Living and loving where you work

Many are quick to warn against blurring the lines between one’s private and professional life by working where you live. Perhaps they prefer to avoid running into their co-workers after hours, or maybe they’re just not fond of the neighbourhood they work in. But when co-workers are family, and the neighbourhood you work in is reminiscent of the communities of yesteryear - where children rode their bikes in quiet leafy streets and dropping by a neighbour’s place for a cup of coffee required no invitation - it’s not all that bad. In fact, for these business owners, working just a stone’s throw from home has transformed the 9-to-5 schlep into a delightful balance of work and home life.

Crafting connection

There’s a lot that goes into building a masterplanned community.

But while infrastructure and amenity may drive sales, how do you take a group of strangers who have purchased side-by-side homes, and turn them into a community? That’s where Community Development Managers like Michelle Mrzyglocki come in.
