Also at midday on Saturday 18th September 2010, Casserly & Mitchell Real Estate will present another first home buyer opportunity – a tidy little two bedroom semi-detatched maisonette at 18 Mantissa Road, Salisbury North. A neat property with a secure yard, this could be a great starter home or an affordable investment.

Finally, if you’re looking to build an affordable first home or investment, then this block of land could be for you. LJ Hooker Golden Grove will put this battleaxe block on Bedchester Road, Elizabeth North under the hammer on Saturday 25th September 2010 at 10:30am.

Happy bidding folks!

Coming soon to an olive grove near you... a new suburb!

News, Waterview No Responses »
Aug 252010

Over the last few weeks, a couple of articles have crept into the local Messenger newspaper which could be the beginning of the largest real estate development in the mid northern region of Adelaide since Mawson Lakes was conceived in the late 1990′s.

A Four Billion dollar suburb plan has been proposed to create a new suburb, known as ‘Waterview’, to the west of the RAAF Edinburgh base. Utilising 357ha of land, the proposal includes the development of around 2,800 homes around a network of man-made waterways, as well as commercial and shopping hubs, schools and a railway station.

The map above shows roughly where the suburb is likely to be created, according to the boundaries described in the Messegner article, providing easy access to RAAF Edinburgh, Port Wakefield Road, the Northern Expressway, and a potential future offshoot of the Gawler to Adelaide railway line. The proposed ‘Northern Connector‘ which will provide a new expressway to connect the Northern Expressway to the ‘South Road Superway‘ and the Port River Expressway, includes a new freight rail line to the west of Port Wakefield Road. This will leave an unused rail corridor to the from Salisbury to the Northern Expressway (marked in red on the map) which would hopefully be converted to become a part of Adelaide’s passenger rail network, and be extended to Virginia to provide a valuable service to this growing outer suburb.

This would provide a fantastic boost to Adelaide’s north, especially if the rail link is established. With the expansion of the RAAF Edinburgh base, such a development will ensure there is ample quality accommodation to see the north of Adelaide become Australia’s defence hub. The potential upgraded rail means it will be very easy to access other defence areas including the large contractor firms like BAE and SAAB based at Technology Park, Mawson Lakes, and the upgraded roads will provide a freeway journey most of the way to ASC at Osbourne for the Air Warfare Destroyer and Submarine development projects.

This project has only just been announced and there is some way to go to get all of the necessary approvals, but there is potential for development to commence as early as the middle of 2011. Hopefully this project will be given due consideration as an alternative to the Buckland Park proposed development, as the location is much more sensible in the fight to reduce urban sprawl. Watch this space.

Your first home for under $200,000

Salisbury North No Responses »
Aug 232010

With banks tightening their lending requirements and increasing the deposit required to purchase property, it is getting harder by the day for the first home buyer to get a foot in the market. In many parts of the country, prices rise faster than is possible to accumulate the deposit that the banks want.

Luckily, in this part of the country, property prices are reasonably steady and predictable, and there are many affordable options that are within reach of the first home buyer. Take for example this cute semi-detatched home in Salisbury North, South Australia. Raine & Horne Salisbury are presenting this property which features three bedrooms, a secure yard with undercover parking and landscaped gardens on a family sized block, in a nice location that is very convenient to public transport, schools and the swimming pool.

With an advertised price range of $179,000 to $189,000 , this presents a great opportunity to escape the rental trap. At current interest rates, if you were to purchase at the top price with just a 10% deposit, your repayments would still most likely be cheaper than renting a two bedroom flat in Mawson Lakes and most surrounding areas.

For a full description of this Salisbury North property situated at 33 Hunter Cres., view the listing on RealEstateView.

Jul 282010

If you’re looking for an affordable, roomy house on a big block of land, then this piece of Brahma Lodge real estate could be just what you’ve been looking for. Set on a corner allotment of around 760 square metres, this home lead to multiple opportunities. If you have a growing family, you’ll value the space for the kids to safely play. Maybe you like the idea of entertaining outdoors – the space could allow the establishment of a large verandah and a swimming pool.

For the environmentalist, there is plenty of space for a substantial veggie garden, fruit trees, a few chooks and an aquaculture setup so you can live the self sufficient life without moving to the bush. Or alternatively, subject to council consent, there is the possibility of sub-dividing the block and building two or three dwellings.

The home is well set out with four bedrooms, a lovely modern kitchen, a formal lounge, reverse cycle air conditioning and a single garage. There is plenty of new development happening in this affordable suburb so now is a great time get in while blocks like this still exist.

The property is located at 63a Gregory St, Brahma Lodge and will be auctioned by LJ Hooker on Wednesday 4th August at 4:30pm on site. If you’re considering bidding and need the assurance of finance pre-approval, why not do it obligation free online at the MyRate website, and check out their great discount rate home loans while you’re there.

Is Real Estate popular again?

General No Responses »
Jul 262010

A few years ago, you couldn’t turn on the TV without accidentally landing on a real estate reality show. We had shows like The Block, Backyard Blitz, Renovation Rescue, Room For Improvement, Ground Force,  Auction Squad, Our House and Hot Property constantly in our face back around 2004, but all of a sudden, they disappeared. Real Estate was no longer fashionable… well, at least, ‘renovating for profit’ was no longer in vogue. A few shows lingered, but focused more on the ‘handyman’ side of the show rather than the renovations.

Skip forward to 2010. This week we see the launch of Under the Hammer on Channel 7 and the new series of Michael Caton’s Hot Property of Channel 9. Also coming this year is a return series of The Block, to be hosted by Scott Cam, and an all new show to find Australia’s best agent – Real Estate The Edge.

So, is property back? Or are the eastern state real estate agents just teaming up with the TV companies to produce low budget shows that might get people interested in property and get them to put their hands up at auctions? Either way, I’m looking forward to have something else to watch besides the current all singing, all dancing and all cooking reality TV that’s been the recent flavour.

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.

Spectacular Tudor in Salisbury

Salisbury No Responses »
Jul 082010

Brock Harcourts present this lovely old tudor at 92 Fenden Road, Salisbury. Residences with this kind of appeal are rarely available in this part of town, so anyone looking for a charming old property on a huge block should look no further. The land area exceeds 2800m2 making it ideal for the kids to run around in a safe environment, or alternatively, this could be a great development opportunity subject to council consent, as the house is not heritage listed.

The property will be offered for auction on Saturday 10th July, 2010 at 10:00am and will be open for inspection from 9:30. This could be the best Salisbury real estate deal you’ll see for some time.
