The residential property market has a logic of its own, something that has become increasingly apparent to the doomsayers of last year as 2009 has unfolded.

Last year, the value of Australia’s commercial property trusts fell by more than 30%, according to Super Ratings’ property index. Some ‘experts’ predicted falls of up to 40% in residential home values would mirror the collapse of property values in the US and UK, as a result of the global financial crisis (GFC).

RP Data indices (available monthly on Gateway) show the median value of Australian residential property fell by around 3% in 2008, and in the first four months of 2009 has risen by 2.8%. In Melbourne, prices have re-bounded by around 4.5%.

When the sharemarket falls, businesses tighten their belts and put any expansion plans they had on hold. This directly effects to the commercial property sector.

Demand for office space, factories and industrial complexes fall and commercial property trusts soften.

History indicates that falling sharemarkets have the opposite impact on residential property.

This year, Nerang State School is running a Support-A-Reader program across four year levels, involving 15 volunteers who give up their own time to listen to 64 struggling readers.

The program is an important intervention in the school and because of the amount of children now involved in the program. The speed at which they are progressing through the books

means the school is now running out of reading materials to support the program. When Nerang State School put out

a call for help to raise funds for the program, Nerang First National were only too happy to answer.

the market was at 7pm and 22% opted for 8pm. A further 10% believed it was at 9pm, the trigger point for an upswing.

Grant Dearlove, Colliers International’s residential managing director, sees good signs for all markets but believes longsuffering Sydney may be the first to flex it residential muscle. He likens the harbour city to a sleeping giant.

Brisbane may be at the bottom of the property clock, but Colliers International believes still booming population growth will drive a market in which developers try to meet residential product demand. On that basis, the agency considers it a good

If a survey by Australia’s largest apartment selling agent is right, the alarm has been turned off and the property clock is ticking much faster, especially in Sydney and Melbourne.

Colliers International recently surveyed 570 everyday investors and buyers on where they thought the property market stood. The results predictably showed four markets at or near rock bottom, but they also revealed that 64% believed the worst had passed and the market was poised for recovery or already in a recovery phase.

Colliers International’s survey method was to put the property market cycle on a clock face with the top of the market being 12 o’clock and the bottom at 6pm.

On that basis, Brisbane and Canberra are sitting right on 6pm, according to those surveyed. Adelaide and Perth are still headed south at 5pm, but Sydney and Melbourne are past the worst at 7pm.

Overall, 30% of respondents thought

RESIDENTIAL CLOCK’S BIG HAND ON RECOVERYtime for investors in the Brisbane market.

It also believes the residential sector will lead a wider property recovery,

as it did during the 1990s recession.

Dearlove says there are already some signs of a return to the market by apartment developers

after an 18-month absence. ‘‘We are seeing developers who have options over sites exercising those options and

seeking development approvals for residential

apartment developments where they would have previously contemplated

a commercial development,’’ he says. Dearlove says this year and next will be about securing property in areas with lasting appeal and enduring value.

Nevertheless, he urges home buyers and investors to stay focused on the fundamentals of property, which he says have always been affected by the three main factors of population growth, employment and infrastructure.

‘‘It is easy to forget the long-term appreciation associated with real estate, especially when shrouded in negative press and sentiment [that] forces many to focus on the short term rather than the long-term outlook.’’

In a time of rising unemployment, it’s a big call to say the housing market is past 6 o’clock, but talking to real buyers sums up a mood hope, or at least relief that Australia seems to be escaping the worst of global financial crisis.

try to get the economy moving again. As interest rates fall residential property becomes affordable again.

Unemployment can have a negative effect but if unemployment rises to 7 or 8 per cent, as most economists predict, it simply returns to the levels we saw in 2001 - the start of the last property boom. For more than 90 per cent of the population who ultimately have job security, property becomes a viable investment option.

Interest rates have fallen by almost half in the past six months resulting in a rapid return of affordability for investors. Today an investor can buy a blue-chip piece of real estate and incur holding costs that are about a

FIXED OR VARIABLE HOME LOANS - WHICH IS BETTER?

With interest rates falling dramatically over the past few months, the key question is whether or not borrowers should fi x their home loans.

Almost every industry expert has a different view. Some senior economists are forecasting further large falls in the RBA cash rate whilst others say we’re nearing the bottom of the cycle. To the ordinary borrower, it can all be very confusing.

Of course, the reasons for choosing a fi xed rate mortgage as opposed to a variable product may differ based on individual circumstances. For fi rst homeowners who are on a tight budget, a fi xed rate mortgage is a great way to lock in a rate and know exactly what the payments will be for a few years while they are settling into their home. Fixed rates may be slightly higher than a

variable option, but if knowing the rate is locked in helps borrowers sleep at night, it can be a great option. On the other hand, a mortgage product with a variable rate may provide greater fl exibility for homeowners looking at selling their property or who are looking to pay off their mortgage faster

with extra repayments.

So what are the main things to be aware of?

A fi xed rate loan may be costly to leave early The majority of fi xed rate loans

will charge a break cost that is based upon the economic cost to the lender of reversing the funding they have locked away for the life of the loan. So if you anticipate paying out the loan early, a variable rate option may be more appropriate.

Do you want to pay off more than the required repayments? Most fi xed rate loans limit any additional repayments to a specifi c amount each year (eg $5,000) and if you put more into the account, the lender could pass on any costs.

Read the fi ne print Variable rate loans can offer more fl exibility when paying the loan back early, but this could incur high exit fees with many ‘introductory’ rate loans. It’s important to understand the terms and conditions of the product that you’re applying for.

Looking ahead, it seems that we may be in for several more rate cuts as variable and fi xed rates continue to fall. But how far is anyone’s guess. If you’re comfortable that you can afford the repayments on your mortgage, the question of whether to fi x or not comes down to what is most suitable to your individual circumstances. That means weighing up your plans for the next few years against any savings you might pick up from renegotiating your loans.

EMPLOYEEOF THE MONTHtenth of what they were 12 months

ago.

A downturn in the sharemarket forces investors to change their strategy. Many look to preserve capital by moving assets into cash, but when interest rates fall so does the return on their deposited funds. The residential property market is the next haven because, unlike other investments that are driven purely by investors, property values are underpinned by home buyers and tenants who are looking to secure a primary need - shelter.

SIMPLE STICKER REMOVAL COULD PROVE COSTLY

South East Queensland electricity distributors Energex has warned that new home buyers and tenants could face hefty fi nes for removing electrical disconnection seal stickers.

When previous owners of tenants vacate a property, Energex switches off the power at the request of the electricity retailer and a yellow seal is attached to the main switch. The unauthorised removal of this seal

can attract a $75,000 fi ne or six months imprisonment under the Queensland Electricity Act.

The avoid penalty, the seals must remain in place until the new owner or tenant has connected their chosen electricity retailer, who in turn will request Energex to switch the power back on. This process usually occurs within a24-hour period.

With around two-thirds of Australian households owning a pet, there are plenty of tenants out there looking for pet-friendly accommodation – a tough ask, but one that can be overcome by being responsible.

Landlords aren’t out to rid the world of pets, they just want to know that you are a responsible pet owner that will respect their concerns, and their property.

Responsible pet owners make excellent long-term tenants and tend to abide by the housing rules, because they know it can be difficult to find animal-friendly accommodation elsewhere and want to avoid the difficulty of having to look for it.

So, they will go to greater lengths to look after the property and keep their landlords happy.

RENTING WITH PETS – IT’S A MATTER OF RESPONSIBILITY

There are a few tips pet owning tenants can keep in mind to show a prospective landlord their properties will be in safe hands.

Be a good neighbour.• Provide your pet with plenty of attention and exercise, so that its physical and social needs are being met.

By doing so, you will cut down on nuisance barking, one of the most common complaints of neighbours. Clean up after your pet,

preventing not just a messy smelly yard, but also a serious health issue. Consider enrolling in obedience training and grooming. Nothing says ‘responsible’ to a landlord and neighbour better than a well-behaved well-groomed pet.

Honesty.• Do not try to sneak your pet into a ‘no pets allowed’ property and do not misrepresent your pet’s breed. Some pet

friendly properties restrict certain breeds or have weight limits or restrict the number of pets allowed. If you are not completely honest with your landlord and get caught, this just makes landlords more hesitant to rent to pet owners. Remember, this may not just be your landlord’s rules, some municipalities have Breed Specific Legislation or Pet Limit Laws. Check with the local Council.

Show goodwill. • Write up a Sample Contract to present to your potential landlord stating that you agree to abide by all of the property rules including cleaning up after your pet, keeping your pet secure and supervised at all times, ensuring your pet is friendly and approachable to neighbours and to keep your pet vaccinated and free of fleas, ticks and parasites. If it is not in your rental agreement, offer your landlord a pet deposit to make it perfectly clear that you are responsible for any damage to the property caused buy your pet. This will not only make a lasting impression, but show your landlord that you are serious about renting and that you will care for the property.

Landlords should also keeping in mind that a well-managed, pet-friendly rental offer can help improve their returns, broaden the pool of prospective tenants and also promote a sense of tenant safety and security.

Responsible pet owners make excellent tenants because caring for pets takes as much, or more, effort and responsibility as caring for where we live. What’s important for the landlord is to have a clear set of guidelines on keeping pets on the property.

Wonderful service from your agency. Shawn was fantastic. Very thorough and always accessible. Always helpful, honest and had our best interest at heart. Went above and beyond what any other agent was prepared to do and found ways to help us save money.Grant MacCombie

Andrew was very helpful and the house is coming up great!Tahlia Helmreich & Kristian Garoni

We were very happy with everything to do with our dealings with First National.Teina Maoate

Andrew was, we believe the key to our successful transition from home vendor to new home owner. We would argue that he exhibits the following characteristics of a fi rst rate real estate agent and also a genuine human being.David and Cynthia Hugo

Susie Gale is excellent in her work. She to me is more than a real estate person. Her warmth and caring means so much. Julie Brown
