30 Avoca Street, Lindisfarne. Picture: SUPPLIED

FOR anyone hunting for a picture-perfect family home at Lindisfarne, this property could be the one.

It offers an abundance of space that would suit a variety of family demographics, plus it boasts a private position and those views that the suburb is noted for.

This low-maintenance home is being offered for sale for the first time since being built by the current owners.

Set on the sunny Eastern Shore.

Warm and inviting.

Its spacious and versatile floorplan boasts five double-size bedrooms, including a ground floor master suite with an ensuite and a walk-in wardrobe.

Next to the master there is a study or home office for those working from home. Or, if desired, it could be used as a formal dining room.

Just across the hall there are a couple more bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and the family bathroom with a corner spa bath.

An expansive open-plan kitchen, living and dining area — with far-reaching suburban, mountain and river views — is ideal for a family to come together.

The bonus of a balcony positioned alongside the kitchen and dining area will allow for that coveted indoor-outdoor lifestyle.

In the kitchen there are European appliances and gas cooking, which match perfectly with the home’s polished oak flooring and bespoke joinery.

Let your light shine.

A place to relax.

Reverse-cycle heating and cooling is backed up by Nobo panel heaters to keep the winter chill at bay.

The lower ground floor features two further bathrooms, a large rumpus or second living zone — which could be the perfect teenagers’ retreat — and a garage with internal access and abundant storage. This storage space could be developed as a cellar.

There is additional off-street parking to complement the garage.

Outdoors, the gardens are low maintenance and there is a choice of entertainment areas.

Avoca Street is walking distance from Lindisfarne Primary School and minutes’ drive from Gordons Hill Nature Recreation Area or popular Simmons Park.

The cafes, eateries, retail and services of Lindisfarne Village is about a four-minute drive from this home.

Take a nap.

What’s for dinner?

Newcastle is one of NSW’s strongest growth regions.

Regional housing values have held firm through the COVID period compared with the capital cities across Australia.

New research from CoreLogic shows dwelling values across the regional areas of Australia slipping by only 0.1 per cent between March and the end of July, while capital city home values are down 2 per cent over the same period.

It has especially been the case to the immediate south and north of Sydney. The Illawarra region is the standout performer. The Illawarra recorded the largest annual rise in regional housing values across Australia, up 12 per cent. It also saw the biggest jump in home sale volume over the past twelve months, with activity up 14 per cent over the year.

The Hunter Valley region saw values rise 2.8 per cent. Credit: Destination NSW

Newcastle and Lake Macquarie was NSW’s next best performing region. Its house values were up eight per cent, on the back of a seven per cent hike in sales activity.

Elsewhere, the Hunter Valley region, excluding Newcastle, saw values up 2.8 per cent annually. Its sales activity level was up six per cent.

The heightened sales activity was evident in the NSW Southern Highlands and Shoalhaven, where the house sales volume increased by 12.7 per cent. Values in the region grew by 3.2 per cent annually.

The latest quarterly regional report analysed 25 of Australia’s largest non-capital city regions, including 10 from NSW, looking at performance of both house and unit markets. Of the 50 house and unit markets included in the analysis, 37 have seen values rise over the 12 months to July.

Houses were the better performer over the year, with 20 regions recording a rise in the value of houses, while five regional areas saw house values decline over the 12 months, with two in NSW.

They were the Riverina area and the New England and North West region. The latter had the longest days on market over the year, with houses taking close to 100 days to sell, on average.

Across regional unit markets, 17 regions across Australia recorded a rise in values over the year to July.

While the region by region data shows diversity, Tim Lawless, the head of research at CoreLogic, suggests relatively steady conditions in regional markets were partly due to the areas being less affected by stalling overseas migration.

Markets south and north of Sydney are performing the strongest. Picture: John Appleyard

“Close to 85 per cent of Australia’s net overseas migration flows into the capital cities,” Mr Lawless advised.

Mr Lawless also reckons the latest data shows some momentum in the trend towards rising demand for lifestyle properties. “It was prevalent prior to COVID-19,” he added.

Regional areas certainly offer up a variety of advantages and risks compared with their capital city counterparts. Housing prices tend to be lower, providing a more affordable entry point to the market.

For instance, there is a $588,000 median around Newcastle, $590,000 in the Southern Highlands and $704,000 in the Illawarra.

Mr Lawless warns regional economic conditions can be more volatile, especially those areas that are heavily dependent on a single industry for economic prosperity.

There have been signs regional growth rates peaked in late 2019, and could head into negative territory later this year without significant improvement to economic conditions or a demonstrated shift in demand side factors like population growth.

79 Camelot Pl, Bridgeman Downs, has its own lake crowned with a wooden bridge.

Picture it. It’s a lazy Sunday morning on what is set to be another hot summer’s day. You’re stretched out by the pool catching up on the day’s news, when the sound of laughter draws your attention to the nearby lake. You see your children jump in a boat and row themselves across the water, setting off on their next big adventure.

It sounds like a memory formed on an unforgettable family holiday, right?

The house sits beside its own private lake in a tightly held street in Bridgeman Downs.

Yet for Mick Foley and his two daughters aged 13 and 12, it is a scene they could recreate every weekend.

The family have owned 79 Camelot Place, a sprawling house with six bedrooms in a tightly held street in Bridgeman Downs for the past four years.

The property stretches to more than two acres and is made up of the house, manicured gardens, trees and lawns, where Mr Foley, who owns two helicopter charter companies, among other businesses, is able to land his personal chopper.

The house has mulitple living spaces.

Helicopters aside, the property’s biggest attraction has to be its picturesque lake, crowned with an arched wooden footbridge.

Mr Foley said the family had spent a lot of time on the lake over the years and he would miss it greatly.

The kitchen is the heart of the home.

“It’s a very quiet spot, and there’s the fountain and lights on it at night, and the fire pit on the other side where I used to sit with the girls. It’s a special place,” Mr Foley.

While the sheer enormity of the house may appear overwhelming, Mr Foley said that once you start living in it, you grow into the space and the floor plan has allowed the home to retain a sense of cosiness.

There are plenty of places fro which to take in the lake views.

“When you walk into it, it feels like a normal home, which is what attracted me to it in the first place. It’s northeast facing, perfectly positioned on the block, it just ticked all the boxes for me.”

Three of the home’s six bedrooms reside on the upper level of the three-storey house, including the main which has an ensuite and walk-in robe. From this level you can capture stunning views of the lake.

The remaining three bedrooms can be found on the middle storey, where again, you are hit with lake views.

The bedrooms are generous in size.

All the living areas, including the chef’s kitchen with stone bench tops, which Mr Foley said was the heart of the home, are on the lower level.

An informal eating area and family room adjacent to the kitchen has floor to ceiling glass walls to maximise on the lake views and natural light. Both these areas open out to an outdoor entertaining pavilion and deck, framed with balustrading for lakeside dining and

The house has a cinema room.

entertaining. Descend a set of stairs and follow a meandering path to the infinity edge pool, set on the edge of the lake. There is also a free-standing pavilion, for hosting parties, family and friends.

Built in the late 1990s, the only thing that belies this home’s age is the terracotta tiling throughout, which Mr Foley admits to having become too busy to replace. Elsewhere, the house is timeless in its design and architecture.

The house suits alarge family who want room to move.

Unfortunately Mr Foley said that with the family’s schedule becoming far more busy, he felt the property wasn’t being used to its full potential and so made the difficult decision to

put it on the market.

“I think it suits a large family with early age kids that want the space, and I hope someone enjoys it as much as our family has. It really is a house in which memories can be made.”

And who doesn’t want that?

The property will be auctioned on Saturday, August 29 at 11am.

Great Ocean Road, Big Hill, was the most-searched street in the Geelong region in the past three years.

A look into the Geelong region’s most popular streets shows buyers are searching for lifestyle and checking out some amazing trophy homes.

Data from realestate.com.au revealed the region’s most searched street over the past three years — the Great Ocean Road at Big Hill, near Lorne, show how amazing homes can attract huge interest.

A luxury home previously owned by celebrity chef Shannon Bennett and actor Madeleine West was the only residence traded in the locality since 2017.

The 1000sq m, five-bedroom house at 1200 Great Ocean Road sold for $4.025 million in late 2018.

Realestate.com.au chief economist Nerida Conisbee said there’s always an element of stick-beaking as people search for bigger, better homes.

An incredible home previously owned by Shannon Bennett and Madeleine West at Great Ocean Road, Big Hill.

“There is a certain percentage of those searching that are stickybeaking and want to check out certain homes and certain streets,” she said.

“They might have a much better view, nicer houses or something else desirable that tends to lead to higher levels of interest.

“Sometimes it might be that a super-popular house in that street can lead to an incredible surge of activity,” she said.

Homes in Jarosite Rd, Bells Beach have attracted significant interest, including the long-time former home of Nicky Buckley and Murray Bingham.

Newtown agent Dale Whitford said the top streets near central Geelong were quiet areas.

“In Patten Court, (Newtown) there is no through-traffic — you wouldn’t go there unless you had a reason and most people don’t even know where it is,” Mr Whitford said.

“Mont Albert Rd (Geelong) is a bit like that — a nice tree-lined street, close to everything but really quiet and no really big traffic problems.”

Mr Whitford said schools, water and other amenities were big drivers of where people searched for property.

This former Costa family home in Whyte Court, Newtown attracted huge interest.

“Or you’ve got people who do the complete opposite and want to buy a small acreage out of town at Ceres, for example.

“What we’ve noticed in the recent past is people wanting to migrate out of Melbourne down here even more than they used to,” Mr Whitford said.

“When Stage 4 lockdown finishes in Melbourne, I reckon we are going to see the influx down here will be huge.”

Holmwood Ave is a short walk to the river and shopping centre at Anglesea.

Richardson, Newtown agent Matt Poustie said more people were looking for lifestyle properties, for a tree-change to a bush block at Wensleydale or Anakie or a hobby farm closer to the shops and schools of Geelong.

Mr Poustie said most buyers were from Geelong but lifestyle properties were rising in popularity with Melburnians.

“We find a lot of the Melbourne buyers are attracted to being somewhere between Geelong and Torquay. It’s not too far, it’s just off the freeway, so it’s perfect, and the land sizes are not too big (at 5 to 10 acres),” he said.

Luxury amid a rustic lifestyle area offered buyers a chance for a tree change at Gum Flats Rd, Wensleydale.

“People who really want seclusion, they want a proper bush block and a tree change, so they really want to be off the grid, part of the environment.”

Other homes linked to celebrities and business identities included Surf Coast couple Nicky Buckley and Murray Bingham’s former residence at Jarosite Rd, Jan Juc, which sold in early 2019 for $2.95m, and a sprawling five-bedroom Whyte Court mansion with a swimming pool, tennis court built by Frank Costa, but sold for more than $5m after daughter Suzanne and husband Tim Cleary completed a massive renovation.

Townsville’s property market has outperformed Australia’s three biggest capital cities, posting a bigger increase in median sales prices over the past three months.

New data shows that the Townsville LGA recorded an increase in median house sales prices of 2.1 per cent in the past three months, and 3.1 per cent in 12 months.

Townsville property market at ‘start of recovery’

The result has seen the overall median house price in Townsville creep up to $330,000, a $10,000 increase on the same time last year.

Over that same three month period, Brisbane recorded a 3.1 per cent drop in its median house sales price.

The median sales price in Melbourne also fell 0.7 per cent, while Sydney recorded no growth in sales prices.

Brisbane’s median house price fell 3.1 per cent over the past three months.

REA chief economist Nerida Conisbee said regions with strong ties to the resources sector were performing strongly despite COVID-19.

And in many cases they were outperforming the capital cities.

“Mining may be a factor in Townsville but it is a big city supported by other job drivers such as defence, education and the medical sector,” she said.

“It could also be benefiting from people wanting to leave the bigger cities (due to COVID-19).

“Affordability would also be a selling point for Townsville.”

Ms Conisbee acknowledged that Townsville’s property market had “taken a few knocks” in recent years, but there were signs that confidence was returning.

“The very low rental vacancies in Townsville at the moment is also probably reflective of population growth,” she said.

“That usually means there is some good things happening in the local economy and when there is economic nd population growth, the market can bounce back quite quickly.”

REA chief economist Nerida Conisbee

But what suburbs in the Townsville region (SA4) are batting above average?

The data shows that houses at Forrest Beach in the Hinchinbrook shire are going gangbusters, posting a whopping 67 per cent increase in median sales prices over 12 months, with 17 houses sold during that period.

The median sales price has jumped from $173,684 to $290,000 in just 12 months, according to realestate.com.au.

Buyers are also snapping up vacant land at Forrest Beach, according to CoreLogic RP Data.

Current listings in Forrest Beach range from $850,000 for a house with water views on 2.37 hectares to a three-bedroom house on a 809sq m block for just $150,000.

Mary Venables of Venables Real Estate Forrest Beach said the higher median sales price was likely influenced by a few big sales, rather than being truly reflective of the average house price.

But she said Forrest Beach was indeed seeing a renewed interest from buyers, especially from Victoria.

“The houses I am selling at the moment are more in the lower price bracket so good buys,” she said.

“We are also seeing a lot of vacant land sales here.

“There is just people coming out of the woodwork down south, and they are buying with the intention to relocate.”

In Townsville, Jensen recorded a 33.2 per cent in its median house prices in the past 12 months, likely driven by the new residential estates being constructed in the area.

There, the median house price has risen from $390,000 a year ago to $519,500, with 16 properties sold in that 12 month period.

Again, new home builds and acreage sales have lifted the median house price, with some bargains under $300,000.

In North Ward, the median house price has jumped from $505,000 to $665,000, a 31.7 per cent increase.

The sought-after bayside suburb saw 21 houses change hands over the past 12 months.

Sally Elliott of Smith & Elliott Real Estate is selling a stunning character home packed full of traditional features at 64 Paxton Street. It is listed for $760,000.

Character PLUS!!! 64 Paxton St

Ms Elliott said a few big sales could be skewing the percentage increase, but she agreed with the current median house sales price.

She said some pockets of North Ward could yield sales over $1 million, but buyers could still get a bargain in the picturesque suburb.

“I am seeing a lot of interest from interstate buyers in particular,” she said. “And they have the cash to spend.

“I would say they (interstate buyers) are looking in that $900,000 to $1.2 million bracket mostly.”

But one of the biggest influences on the North Ward market was the low vacancy rates and the “extraordinary” rental yields being achieved.

“We have a waitlist just for rentals,” she said. “We just haven’t seen the transition out of Townsville that we would usually see, the people travelling, relocating.

“We are seeing locals upgrading, and quite a few professionals from outside of Townsville looking to relocate here.

“There is definitely more positivity in our market.”

The HomeBuilder Grant could shave $25,000 off your new home building project.

There’s no question that this year has been a strange one, both socially and economically. Many of us have been spending a lot of time at home in recent months, which has brought the shortcomings of our living arrangements into sharper focus.

In June, the federal government announced a new scheme aimed at helping homeowners renovate or build a new house, providing stimulus for the housing industry as we power up for 2021 and beyond.

The HomeBuilder Grant offers $25,000 towards the cost of building a new home or substantially renovating an existing home, as long the homeowners meet the criteria.

For new-home builders, the value of the house and land cannot exceed $750,000. For those seeking to renovate, the value of the existing property cannot exceed $1.5 million.

The value of the renovation work must also be at least $150,000 to be eligible.

Grant applicants must also meet income criteria, which is capped at $125,000 for an individual applicant and $200,000 for a couple.

Housing Industry Association managing director Graham Wolfe says those interested in applying should get a move on.

“You should be talking to a builder or builders as soon as possible as to their availability to do the work, as well as site contractors and financial lenders,” Graham says. “This is federal government funding distributed by Revenue NSW and you can do the application online.

“But you need to have a contract signed by the end of the year.”

Work needs to start within three months of the contract being signed, with the grant being paid once evidence is submitted that work has begun and the first payment has been made.

HIA managing director Graham Wolfe says you should get a move on if you’re hoping to apply for the HomeBuilder Grant.

While some parts of the economy have been sluggish during the pandemic, Graham says the building industry has been more of a mixed bag. Occurrences such as the recent storms on the south coast could mean that trades may not be as readily available as you might have thought.

Finding a suitable block of land to build on or getting a development application through council also takes time.

The HomeBuilder grant allows for an extension of the work starting for up to three months if it is due to “unforeseen circumstances”. This could include delays in getting council approvals, delays due to bad weather and difficulties in obtaining materials or subcontractors.

However, for those who have been putting off building work because of the pandemic but have already done the groundwork, Graham says the grant represents a great opportunity to upgrade or build a new home.

“A lot of people have had the time and the motivation to think about their accommodation and ask themselves if it is sufficient,” Graham says.

“If you have been delaying work on your house in NSW, there is capacity to take on this additional work to get a contract signed.”

Special provisions have been made in the HomeBuilder Grant in areas affected by bushfire. Picture: Toby Zerna

There are also special considerations for those who lost their homes in last year’s devastating bushfires.

For the purposes of the grant, rebuilding in an area ravaged by the fires is deemed a “substantial renovation”, with the option to access the grant and build a house up to the value of $750,000.
