20.09.08 - Despite the world’s share markets taking a battering over recent months and particularly in the last week, the Real Estate market in the Western Suburbs remains as solid as ever, with strong price growth still occurring and opportunities still available for astute buyers to make the smart move here. So how is it that we are somehow sheltered from the economic storm lashing other parts of the country and the globe? Well, fundamentally it’s the fundamentals of the area! You have heard me talk about this many times before, but it has never been truer than now in these challenging economic times, that it is important to have confidence in the underlying fundamentals of property when buying and selling. One often hears the catch cry of “position, position, position”, and that is the key to the stability of the Western Suburbs as a whole. Homes in this area benefit from great schools, terrific shopping, improving transport infrastructure, wide open spaces, lovely parks, and all within close proximity of the city and easy access to the gold and sunshine coasts. These are the “fundamentals” that underpin the value of the area and the future is looking even brighter too, with further proposed infrastructure for roads, transport and amenities, which will only add to the livability and therefore the value of the area. So if you are looking to secure your future in the area, we are pleased to present a selection of quality properties for your attention, including a sensational land subdivision right in the heart of Kenmore (our “feature Property” this week) if you’re thinking of building your dream home. For more details about these properties or any other real estate matter, please feel confident to speak with me or any of the expert team here at CENTURY 21 Westside. Until next week…
