Apollo Bay Real Estate News February 3, 2012
Subdued real estate buying conditions in the Apollo Bay area continue. Buyers are nervous and spooked by what they read in the papers, hear on the radio and watch on the television. Often the perception is worse than the reality however and this was certainly the case during the GFC. Sure properties took longer to sell, but prices held and supply remained low. Currently supply is quite high but we are in the middle of the ‘selling season’ so it is the natural time for people to look at marketing their beachside homes.
Opportunities do currently exist to purchase at a real market value as opposed to some inflated prices in the past caused by competition.
With the completion of the Geelong ring road flyover, generous supply levels, low interest rates and with more drops forecast, when has there been a better time in recent years to buy?

Apollo Bay Real Estate Market News December 9, 2011
One of the most positive Apollo Bay real estate and property weeks of the past 52 with crucial announcements that are fantastic confidence boosters as we march into our summer selling season. Firstly, the confirmation that our four major banks have passed on the .25% interest rate reduction from the R.B.A. Being the second reduction in two months and with the R.B.A not meeting again until February, the injection of confidence to consumers is a very welcome Christmas present.
Secondly, with stage 4A of the Geelong By-pass opening today “all roads lead to Apollo Bay”. This final stage takes out the last two remaining sets of traffic lights and completes what we all have been waiting for.

On Friday the 18TH of November, we are Hosting the Apollo Bay Girls Night In! The event is in aid of raising money to support the National Breast Cancer Foundation. What a great excuse to create awareness & raise some money!
Roz O Grady (Our Local Police Woman) and Bec Allen (Sales Agent at Apollo Bay) have coordinated the event and received an amazing response. We were hoping to sell 100 tickets, and have been inundated with local women wanting to attend & support. Seats for the night have sold out due to the astounding response!
The event will include a ladies Fashion Parade, Trivia, Raffles, Drinks & Nibbles, Auctions, and of course mingling with the girls!
All money raised will help Cancer Council continue funding world class research, prevention programs and patient support services to help those affected by cancer. Every dollar counts!
Although we are booked out for seats, we would still love your support & donations. GREAT OCEAN ROAD REAL ESTATE, has a table booked with ten ladies from the office supporting and attending. We would appreciate your support! Please click on the below link, and you can add to the fundraising for such a good cause.
I think we can all relate & have had someone in our lives affected by the tragedy of cancer. Help us pull together and connecting with each other. Girlfriends are always there for each other and we’re incredibly lucky to have ongoing community support.
More info here.
See you in Our Backayrd.
