AUCTION SEASON!

The purchase and selling of real estate can be a confusing process for many people and this confusion often multiplies when it comes to selling at auction. Just the word will send many vendors into a panic either due to a lack of understanding about the process or a negative prior experience. To establish yourself today with a real point of difference requires a presentation that focuses on the process rather than the promise. Auctions can offer a win-win proposition for everyone involved.

BENEFITS TO THE VENDOR
· Buyers come prepared to buy
· The sale is generally accelerated
· The property will usually be sold at true market value or higher due to competition created among buyers
· Exchange of contracts occurs on auction day and there is no cooling-off period
· Their property is exposed to a large number of pre-qualified prospects
· Potential buyers need to pre-qualify for finance
· Numerous and unscheduled property inspections are eliminated

Adding Value to Your Coastal Home

If you are buying a property with the view to sell in the short term then there are several ways you may consider on how to increase its value.

Or, if you currently own your property and want to add value then the following tips may help.

There are a range of things that increase the price of a property. Some of these are views be they green or water, gardens that are low maintenance, kitchens and bathrooms and of course location.

If your property already has ocean views or if you are able to add a second floor extension that will avail your property full ocean views then this will add approximately 20% to the house value. A partial view will increase your value by 15%. A green view such as mountain ranges or a park next door can add up to 10%. Many properties in Apollo Bay, Lorne, Aireys Inlet and Torquay are afforded ocean views.

Green features such as solar hot water and water tanks should increase a homes value in the future.

Kitchens and bathrooms add value. One billion dollars is spent annually replacing approximately 90,000+ kitchens in Australia.

Gardens are great way to add value to a property, preferably native gardens. There are many native plants that flower beautifully in winter. And they are low maintenance. Seek out your local gardener and you might be surprised by the selection open to you.

Surfcoast and the Geelong Ring Road

The Geelong Ring Road is nearing completion. A small overpass at the Waurn Ponds end that connects onto the Old Geelong Road is all that is left to finish.

This is set to make a huge impact on the Surfcoast region. Dependent on your point of view locals may argue that the environmental damage and change in culture can only harm the area. And others will argue that it will provide jobs and a higher education system. The debate will go on for a long time.

But one thing is certain, the ring road is here.

The Geelong Ring Road will provide greater connectivity to some of Victoria’s most popular tourist destinations including the Great Ocean Road. If you are a regular traveler to or from Melbourne then you can eliminate 29 sets of traffic lights thereby reducing your travel time by around 10-15 minutes.

Tourism studies have an estimated 300,000 people visiting the region each year, injecting between $15 – $19 million dollars thus creating 1,400 permanent jobs per annum.

How will the ring road affect real estate?

Surf Coast Shire is expected to grow significantly, with most of this growth occurring in Surf Coast East.

The Economic and Land Use Impacts of the Geelong Ring Road (2009) is a new report that examines likely growth areas as a result of the development of the Ring Road and the duplication and upgrade of Princes Highway West. Funded by the City of Greater Geelong, G21, the Committee for Geelong and RDV, the report will inform Council and agency planning processes for services and infrastructure.

Released three weeks ago, the report shows how the Ring Road and Princes Highway Upgrade are expected to increase the region’s population, industry and employment opportunities, and how this is likely to impact on the region’s land use requirements. It also presents specific recommendations on how the region can make the most of the opportunities that these important pieces of infrastructure present.

The information provided may affect land rezoning and help target investment attraction efforts. The report will also help us understand which businesses are likely to relocate because of the infrastructure improvements. This may well result in freeing up of some large sites with redevelopment potential for more valuable uses.

Great Ocean Road Real Estate goes Mobile.

Considered to be a first in Australian real estate Great Ocean Road Real Estate has combined with local business Mohbe.com in giving house hunters the option of viewing their real estate properties via a mobile phone using QR Code technology.

Great Ocean Road Real Estate and its four agencies in Lorne, Apollo Bay, Aireys Inlet and Torquay will include a QR Code in their print media. This will enable browsers to scan the QR code and go directly to the advertised property. From here the house hunter can view up to 26 images including floor plans, Google Maps, auction dates, inspection times and pricing. Other features include a live click to call, sms or email the agent.

What is a QR Code?

A QR Code is 2 dimensional barcode. When scanned using a mobile phone it will reveal the information hidden behind it. In Great Ocean Road Real Estates case it will be a live web address that the browser can click on and go directly to that property.

It’s simply all about Google!

Google in Australia is the online monster, better known as Australia’s online library with approximately ten million visitors logging on each month. Statistics tell us that nine out of every ten searches on the internet are made through the Google Monster – which has catapulted this business to Australia’s number one media company.

Last month the Google Monster entered the Australian property market when it released its real estate directory Google Maps. Agencies such as Great Ocean Road Real Estate and the regions they cover such as Lorne, Apollo Bay, Aireys Inlet and Torquay who embrace this latest technology are at the forefront of the real estate profession.
