This Saturday, there are three properties going under the hammer in Adelaide’s northern suburbs.

First at 10:00am, LJ Hooker Craigmore presents 127 Davoren Road, Andrews Farm. This property has been burnt out so would be suitable for restoration or possible redevelopment. The remains of the current home feature three bedrooms, a garage and carport, and close proximity to the Columbia Private School. Anticipated price range is around $180,000.

Two more auctions will be happening a little up the hill. At 11:30am, 7/21 Hillrise Court in Wynn Vale will be auctioned. This lovely townhouse is in a secluded group and is just minutes from Golden Grove. A great opportunity for the first home buyer to get into the market in a sought after area.

Finally at 12:30pm, LJ Hooker Golden Grove will be auctioning 38 Elmwood Rise, Golden Grove. This one is a spacious family home, in a popular family-friendly area. There is plenty of room to move and the presentation is outstanding. This will be one to watch.

Oh, if you need a pre-approval before bidding at auction or making an offer, you can arrange one online with MyRate – they do a great basic home loan at just 6.34%.

I’m a firm believer that the first home buyer shouldn’t have to live on lentil casserole in order to meet their mortgage repayments. Adelaide’s north has numerous properties available that are relatively affordable, and have a comfortable standard of living. Here’s a selection of homes in the vibrant north that I think would be suitable for many first home buyers.

First on my list is 9/14 Vera Street, Paralowie. Listed for sale at $169,000 by Raine Horne This is a neat and tidy single level unit featuring two bedrooms, a private rear yard and a secure carport. Close to the bus on Waterloo Corner Road and a short drive to Hollywood Plaza. View the full listing for 9/14 Vera Street, Paralowie at RealEstateView.

My next property is a neat timber-frame homette in Salisbury, situated at 13 Post Avenue. This updated property sits on approximately 421m2 of land, and features a modern kitchen, floating floors, air conditioning, and a carport. Just a few blocks from the Salisbury interchange and the Parabanks shops, this is really quite convenient. Listed by Raine Horne for $185,000 – $195,000 , this represents great buying in this area. View the full listing for 13 Post Avenue, Salisbury at RealEstateView.

If you meet the criteria to be eligible for the SA Government’s Affordable Homes program, then 6/47 Amsterdam Cres, Salisbury could be the start for you. This is a neat two bedroom unit, single story, with off street parking. Ready to move in and priced at $165,000 by Smallacombe Sanderson Real Estate. View the full listing for 6/47 Amsterdam Cres, Salisbury at RealEstateView .

Now this one is a beautifully updated unit at a very affordable price. Listed at $179,000 – $196,000 by Toop and Toop, this ground floor unit at 3/32 Salisbury Highway, Salisbury has a private yard and secure carport, a modern kitchen with gas appliances, air conditioning, and a fresh, vibrant colour scheme. Just a short walk to the Salisbury interchange, this is the ideal first home for anyone who needs to commute to the Adelaide CBD. And a short walk in the other direction is the Holden factory too, so it would also be ideal for anyone working there. View the full listing for 3/32 Salisbury Highway, Salisbury at RealEstateView .

Where else in Australia besides Adelaide’s north will you find a metropolitan three bedroom home on a Torrens Title allotment of over 600m2 for under $200,000? Turner Partners have this lovely modernised semi-detached home at 54 Bagot Road, Elizabeth South on the market for $180,000 – $195,000. This house is nice and fresh, with a quaint pergola area and a huge back yard. It is situated close to the Elizabeth Shopping Center, Holden and the Elizabeth South train station which is due for a major upgrade in the coming months.

So if you’re thinking about getting your first home, and you want an affordable property, think north.

The start of the new financial year brings us a great selection of properties up for auction in Adelaide’s northern suburbs. If you’re considering an upgrade, or investing in the region, one of these auctions might just present the opportunity you’ve been looking for.

Friday 2nd July 2010 has two auctions in Adelaide’s north. At 11:00am, presented by Ray White North Adelaide, 50 Pacific Boulevard, Hillbank will go under the hammer. This is a substantial property sitting up the hill, and would be suited to a large family or those who love to entertain. It is surrounded by quality homes, and is only a short drive to RAAF Edinburgh and the Elizabeth Shopping Village. Just up the road at 12:00, 12 Dulkara Avenue, Craigmore will also be auctioned by LJ Hooker Craigmore. A modest property requiring some work, but sitting on a good sized allotment of around 660m2, this may present a great opportunity for a first home buyer to get out of the rent market.

Then on Saturday 3rd July 2010, two spectacular residences will be auctioned in beautiful Mawson Lakes. LJ Hooker West Lakes presents 65 Hindmarsh Circuit, Mawson Lakes for auction at 10:00am. A lovely, low maintenance, 2008 built home, this would suit the first home buyer or investor look to live in Adelaide’s modern Defence and Technology district. Then for the executives, a beautiful home with linear park frontage will be presented by Century 21 Grove Estates at 11:00am. 11 Greentree Place, Mawson Lakes is a wonderful four bedroom, two story property just a short stroll from the lake and Mawson Central, perfect for raising a family, close to Defence business in Technology Park and the Mawson Lakes Interchange for easy access to the Adelaide CBD.

A final auction to note, on Sunday 4th July 2010 at 2:00pm, is a property that could be a fantastic opportunity for an investor or first home buyer. 16 Railway Terrace, Kilburn may have been hit with the ugly stick, and have the railway line and freight yard straight accross the road, but it is also close to public transport and less than 10km to CBD. Development consent has already been granted to build two dwellings on the 680sqm site too, and as Weeks and Macklin are representing the property, certainly they would have a building package ready to go. I have no doubt that this will be a very affordable property, and that there is nowhere else in Adelaide that close to the CBD that will be this affordable.

Have a great weekend, and good luck if you’re bidding!
