<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/jl-place">JL PLACE</a>'s Veil Brighton is approaching its final months of construction, with the nine-townhouse development at 17 Rooding Street expected to complete in December 2026.

The milestone is bringing the boutique project closer to becoming a finished part of the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/brighton-vic-3186">Brighton</a> streetscape, with much of Brighton's everyday amenity within a short walk.

Palace Cinema, Coles Supermarket and North Brighton Station are all around five minutes on foot from <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/veil-brighton-17-rooding-street-brighton-vic-3186">Veil</a>, alongside numerous cafés, restaurants and bars. The station provides a direct rail connection toward Melbourne's CBD, while Bay Street and the wider Brighton retail and dining network add to the range of services accessible without relying on a car for every trip.

"The location was fundamental to the project. Brighton is an established suburb where many buyers already have strong connections to the area and want to remain close to the people, places and amenities that form part of their everyday life," the developer said.

"Veil sits in a highly walkable part of Brighton, with a Walk Score of 90/100."

For buyers looking to right-size within Bayside, that level of walkability adds to the appeal of a more manageable way of living. Everyday shopping, dining, entertainment and public transport can be accessed without relying on the car for every trip, while residents remain connected to the places and routines that make Brighton familiar. It allows buyers to simplify day-to-day life without giving up the convenience, amenity and connections they already value.

As completion approaches, the architecture, landscaping and material palette are progressively becoming visible on site, giving prospective purchasers a clearer view of the finished development beyond its plans and renders.

Veil comprises nine townhouses, predominantly three-bedroom homes with between 2.5 and 3.5 bathrooms, two car spaces and, depending on the residence, study areas and private outdoor space. Selected homes include a bedroom on the ground floor.

Veil occupies a middle ground between detached housing and apartment living, retaining private gardens, storage and secure parking within a more manageable residential format.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/schmidt-pang-architects">Schmidt &amp; Pang</a> designed the architecture around natural light, ventilation, privacy and practical use of space. From Rooding Street, the façade has been composed to read as a cohesive residential building rather than nine individual townhouses, with landscaping by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/john-patrick-landscape-architects">John Patrick Landscape Architects</a> integrated throughout the site.

Inside, natural stone, oak flooring, integrated joinery and brushed nickel finishes establish a restrained material palette, while kitchens include Miele appliances and substantial storage such as pantries. Walk-in robes and dedicated study spaces have also been incorporated across the collection.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7877 project_image_fid=355852]

The project team said the planning of the homes has been informed by how the spaces function for both daily routines and larger gatherings.

"Our new homes owners at Veil have enjoyed the attention to detail in creating efficient layouts that use every space well. Hosting Christmas lunch and large family gatherings is an ease when care is taken to consider how people really live and entertain."

Private landscaped gardens extend the living spaces outdoors, while secure basement parking and bicycle parking are provided below. The homes have also been designed to achieve a 7-star energy rating, supported by double glazing, high-quality insulation, natural ventilation, LED lighting, water tanks and water-efficient fittings. Each residence is backed by a 10-year building guarantee.

Veil is being built by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/jeniton">Jeniton</a>.&nbsp;Limited-time stamp duty savings are also currently available on selected purchases at Veil, adding another consideration as the project moves toward completion.

Veil Brighton nears completion in one of the suburb's most walkable pockets

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mosaic-property-group">Mosaic Property Group</a> has recorded 134 sales worth just over $400 million in two months of pre-release activity at The Riversdale, as the developer brings its $750 million South Brisbane riverfront project to the broader market.

The sales represent more than 60 per cent of the project's 213 apartments, with Mosaic reporting the majority of purchasers have been local owner-occupiers and downsizers.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-riversdale-by-mosaic-south-brisbane-91-montague-road-south-brisbane-qld-4101">The Riversdale</a> will rise 39 storeys from its north-facing site at 91 Montague Road, delivering a mix of two, three and four-bedroom apartments alongside a collection of Mosaic's premium Masterpiece Series Sky Homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151614 project_image_fid=371872]

The early buyer response comes ahead of the wider evolution of the northern end of Montague Road, where The Riversdale will be one of the first major residential projects delivered within an emerging riverfront precinct.

Directly adjoining the development is a planned 7.1-hectare mixed-use precinct, set to introduce new residences, parkland and public realm along the river's edge. The Riversdale's position directly on the Brisbane River gives it a relationship with the waterfront that Mosaic says cannot be replicated by future buildings within the precinct.

The site is also the result of a years-long pursuit by Mosaic. The developer first earmarked the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/south-brisbane-qld-4101">South Brisbane</a> property in 2018, reflecting what Founder and Managing Director Brook Monahan has described as a deliberately patient approach to acquiring development sites.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151614 project_image_fid=372083]

"We aren't opportunistic," Monahan previously told Apartments.com.au.

"Every site purchase is carefully considered. As seen with Kangaroo Point and South Brisbane, it can take years to eventuate. There are sites we're looking at now that we may not secure for several years."

Designed in collaboration with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bureauproberts">Bureau Proberts</a>, The Riversdale has been shaped around the qualities of the riverfront site, with apartments oriented to capture northern light and uninterrupted Brisbane River views.

Generous floorplans and expansive balconies extend the living spaces towards the river, while natural materials and a restrained interior palette have been selected with longevity in mind.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151614 project_image_fid=371890]

Residents will have access to a level of amenity more commonly associated with world-class hotels and private members' clubs, with almost 3,000 sqm dedicated to wellness, connection, recreation and everyday convenience.

At ground level is a business lounge, private meeting rooms and dedicated workspaces. Mid-tower is a wellness sanctuary featuring magnesium hot and cold plunge pools, sauna, steam room, infrared therapy facilities, a Pilates and yoga studio, and a commercial-grade gymnasium.

Crowning The Riversdale is a rooftop featuring a 35-metre swimming pool with lap lane and spa, outdoor dining and seating terraces, firepit lounges and views of the city, river and Mount Coot-tha.

A private members' club-inspired retreat offers private dining rooms, a whisky lounge, media rooms and immersive entertainment experiences. Completing the amenity offering are two hotel-style guest suites and a resident-exclusive electric vehicle fleet and car-share program.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151614 project_image_fid=371877]

The Riversdale sits at the northern end of Montague Road between South Bank and West End, around 1.3 kilometres from the Brisbane CBD, providing access to the city's major cultural, dining and recreation precincts.

It becomes Mosaic's largest Brisbane project to date and adds to a pipeline already under construction across the city.

In Brisbane, the developer is currently delivering The Bedford and The Carter at Kangaroo Point, both of which are approaching sell-out, with a further four projects being delivered on the Gold Coast. Mosaic has completed more than $2 billion in projects since 2012 and has a further development pipeline exceeding $2 billion across South East Queensland.

Early works are underway at The Riversdale, which will be delivered by Mosaic's in-house construction division. Completion is anticipated in late 2029, with remaining apartments priced from $1.98 million.

Lender, fund manager and apartment developer Princeton has completed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/marque-rockdale-602-608-princes-highway-rockdale-nsw-2216">Marque Rockdale</a>, the first new apartment development in South Sydney to provide its owners with a 10-year Latent Defects Insurance policy, the most comprehensive insurance available for a new apartment building.

The policy has been a key consideration for prospective purchasers of the 58 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, strategically located between&nbsp;Rockdale Plaza and Rockdale Station.&nbsp;

Buyers have also been drawn to the fact that it is one of few new apartment developments delivered in the suburb in the last 10 years, and the only one located on Princes Highway to be set well back from the street to reduce noise. There's also a communal rooftop, a rarity in the suburb, complete barbecue facilities, landscaped seating areas, a children's play zone and herb gardens.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136442 project_image_fid=374084]

Ray White Projects’ Matt Otway said buyer enquiry reflected the increasingly diverse and cosmopolitan population that has made Rockdale home.

“We’re seeing strong interest from a broad mix of buyers, including young professionals and people who have rented in Rockdale and the surrounding suburbs and now see Marque as an opportunity to buy a brand-new apartment in an area they already know,” Otway said.

“Proximity to the CBD and Sydney Airport is another key advantage particularly for buyers working in these locations who want the added convenience of living close by.”

Investors have also been attracted to the project, with rental yields of more than five per cent, which is considered a strong result for the Sydney market.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136442 project_image_fid=374090]

Adding another layer to the buyer proposition is Marque's 10-year Latent Defects Insurance policy from Resilience Insurance, making it the only new apartment development in Rockdale to offer the cover.

The policy protects apartment owners against major structural and waterproofing defects for 10 years following completion, giving Marque purchasers cover until early 2036 at no additional cost.

The likelihood of defects emerging has also been mitigated through the Technical Inspection Service (TIS), which saw independent experts inspect the building at various stages throughout construction to identify potential issues during the build, rather than after the fact.

SDSS, which provided the TIS, consistently ranked the construction quality at Marque, undertaken by iCIRT-rated builder Coplex, among the best across its extensive portfolio of projects.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136442 project_image_fid=374088]

Otway said the LDI had become a major drawcard for buyers, particularly given Rockdale has seen relatively little new apartment development over the past decade.

"Rockdale hasn't had a lot of new apartment buildings in the last decade, and has never had a project with 10-year defect insurance," Otway said.

"Marque presents a truly rare opportunity at an affordable price point, so well connected to the Sydney CBD."

One-bedroom apartments at Marque start from $735,000.

Sydney developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/odus">ODUS Property Group</a> is continuing to expand its local Gold Coast development pipeline, filing plans for a new 40-storey tower in the Southport CBD.

Odus, which bought two luxury Main Beach projects, now La Mer and Le Reve, to make its move into the booming Gold Coast apartment market, has secured its third site. But it is tweaking the plans for a previously proposed 50-storey skyscraper, now seeking to deliver 40 storeys.

The project, dubbed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/80-marine-parade-74-80-marine-parade-southport-qld-4215">80 Marine Parade</a>, sits on a prime&nbsp;2,032 sqm amalgamated corner site at 74–80 Marine Parade and 4 Welch Street, across the road from the Gold Coast Aquatic Centre. It will have unobstructed, never-to-be-built-out views to the east given its position opposite the Broadbwater Parklands.&nbsp;

The plans are for 316 apartments, ground-floor retail, and resort-style resident amenities. The project sits within Precinct 1 (Central Business District) of the Southport Priority Development Area, where high-density residential and commercial development is actively encouraged.

BGD, ran by Bayden Goddard and the architecture firm behind Le Reve, has revised the original concept plans, substantially reworking the built form. Basement parking has been replaced by an expanded podium designed to improve functionality while reducing the tower's overall visual impact.&nbsp;&nbsp;

<img alt="First look: Odus Property Group plots landmark 40-storey tower for Southport's Broadwater gateway" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0f13d065-2cf5-45ec-aa17-1a03754d93d8" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Southport%20da%202.png?VersionId=.9QS2n7kBc_U3PyaI247uOyNSXIqnXSE" />

The tower rises above the eight-storey landscaped podium with a distinctive architectural language defined by sweeping arches, integrated greenery, bronze-toned glazing, and a sculptural rooftop crown.

The development will comprise 104 one-bedroom apartments, 208 two-bedroom apartments, and four four-bedroom penthouses across levels 9 to 36. Apartments are designed to accommodate both permanent residents and short-term accommodation within the same building.

A double-height lobby and reception will anchor the ground floor alongside a 23 sqm food and drink outlet, activating the Marine Parade frontage.

Parking will be accommodated within the podium, providing 288 vehicle spaces and 74 bicycle spaces, accessed from Welch Street.

<img alt="First look: Odus Property Group plots landmark 40-storey tower for Southport's Broadwater gateway" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d7528b91-2c47-4094-98b3-5eecbacc0041" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Southport%20da%20podium.png?VersionId=efF5oWs4T9PDvxJwJEDHu5kSQ5eE3IBy" />

Residents will have access to an extensive suite of amenities spread across multiple levels. A podium recreation deck will include a swimming pool, spas, sauna, steam room, cinema, residents' lounge and children's games room, while a second wellness level near the top of the building will feature a gym, co-working spaces, reading room, dining areas and communal kitchen. Extensive podium landscaping wraps the building to soften the built form and strengthen its interface with the surrounding streetscape.

The planning report notes the project responds directly to Southport's ongoing urban transformation.

"Consistent with much of Southport, the surrounding area is undergoing significant transition, with many older low-rise developments progressively being redeveloped for higher-intensity urban outcomes, as envisaged within Precinct 1."

It also states that the proposal "will contribute to a defined and legible eastern gateway to the Southport CBD, reinforcing the area's high-density urban character while maintaining a strong visual connection to the adjoining public open space network."

Located opposite the Broadwater Parklands, the site enjoys immediate access to the Gold Coast Aquatic Centre, Australia Fair Shopping Centre, TAFE Queensland Southport campus, the G:link light rail corridor and Southport's established commercial precinct. The location places future residents within one of the Gold Coast's fastest-evolving mixed-use centres, where numerous high-rise residential projects are reshaping the CBD skyline.

Odus is headed by development professionals Byron Sakha, Jarrod Younan and Sebastian Younan. The Younans also head family-owned builder Nazero Constructions, established in the 1960s.

They are currently delivering La Mer, 24 luxury apartments on Main Beach Parade, and Le&nbsp;Rêve, on the same street but on the prized beachfront side of the sought-after strip.

A boutique collection of just 10 residences could become the catalyst for the next phase of renewal along the southern end of Surfers Paradise Boulevard, with new plans laid for a mixed-use tower designed to transform a long-vacant site.

The proposal for <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/3098-surfers-paradise-boulevard-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">3098 Surfers Paradise Boulevard</a> has been conceived as more than a standalone residential project. Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>, the development aims to spark the revitalisation of what the design team describes as the "South Boulevard" precinct, creating an active streetscape with retail uses at ground level beneath a collection of full-floor luxury residences.

The application, by PR Property Holdings, an entity directed by the Brisbane-based Ryan and Petrovic families, seeks approval for a 17-storey, 62.2-metre mixed-use development on a compact 427 sqm site between Surfers Paradise Boulevard and Appel Street.

The project will comprise just 10 apartments, including eight full-floor residences and two duplex apartments, positioned above a two-level retail podium. Three podium parking levels will accommodate 26 vehicle spaces, while a recreation deck is proposed on Level 4.

<img alt="First look: PR Property Holdings plans boutique apartment tower to kickstart Surfers Paradise's 'South Boulevard' revival" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="46cfa37d-5051-4449-8d8e-6724f8ca0d59" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Article%20Feature%20Image%20%28Grid%29_8.png?VersionId=e7UkeV1eTZAC2lXhdq72E3jpUbwiFD2t" />

Rather than pursuing apartment volume, the proposal focuses on large-format homes with a slender tower form intended to maximise outlooks while limiting visual bulk.

BDA Architecture said the proposal has been designed to become an urban renewal catalyst for the precinct.

"The ambition of 3098 Surfer's Paradise is that it provides the catalyst for incremental infill redevelopment and upgrade of what is coined the 'South Boulevarde' of Surfers Paradise which connects to the beating heart of Cavill Avenue."

The architects added: "An incremental approach to development that provides quality ground plane interface, human scale design, integrated subtropical landscape and semipublic permeable frontage can over time entirely upgrade a precinct."

The architecture adopts soft curves, articulated balconies and a slender tower profile rising from a human-scaled podium. The design report describes the project as delivering "bespoke residences of enduring distinction, sculpted with precision and quiet sophistication," with a focus on timeless coastal architecture.

The application also includes retail tenancies addressing Surfers Paradise Boulevard, reinforcing the site's role as an active mixed-use destination rather than a purely residential address. The planning report states the combination of the podium, landscaping and active frontage is intended to strengthen the pedestrian experience while contributing to the evolving character of the boulevard.

The site occupies a prominent position in the southern section of Surfers Paradise, directly opposite the G:link light rail corridor and within walking distance of Surfers Paradise Beach, Cavill Avenue, the Nerang River and Bruce Bishop Car Park. It is currently vacant, having previously accommodated a single-storey commercial building that was demolished in 2022. The planning report notes the surrounding area is characterised by a mix of commercial buildings and residential towers, with unlimited building height provisions applying under the Centre Zone.

The proposal also replaces an earlier 2022 approval for a restaurant and bar on the site, instead introducing a permanent mixed-use development that combines retail activation with boutique residential living.

Boutique apartment tower to "kickstart" Surfers Paradise's 'South Boulevard' revival

Prominent New Zealand apartment and hotel operator, <a href="/developers/safari-group">Safari Group</a>, is offering up a prime investment opportunity for Australians to purchase off the plan in one of the world’s most popular ski destinations.

They recently took to market Mountain Oak Queenstown Apartments, in the growing precinct of Remarkables Park in Frankton, near the airport and at the foot of The Remarkables - the mountain range the locals like to call “The Remarks”.&nbsp;

Sydney investors have shown interest in the one, two and three-bedroom apartments that secure high-season occupancy six months over the year, primarily over summer and winter months.

They average 90 per cent occupancy across their portfolio over January, February, March, August, November and December, while shoulder season months of April, July, September and October are still occupied 70 per cent of the time, with the growing appeal of Queenstown becoming not just a hotspot for the snow, but a lifestyle destination.

Even in the low seasons of May and June, occupancy levels reach around 40 per cent.

<img alt="Safari Group’s Mountain Oak Apartments brings new investment potential to Queenstown" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_auto/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Ext_Cam15_Sunny.jpg?VersionId=SJAROUM_1s.Tr5ciMk4EEj5oAt_Vewmv" />

Safari’s Safari Hotels arm can also manage the holiday letting for an investor, from the listing on holiday accommodation websites such as Airbnb and Booking.com to the cleaning and maintenance of the investment. They’ve been in the short stay management business for 15 years and offer 24/7 support for investors, an important convenience benefit for any overseas investor

Another major drawcard for Australians is that New Zealand doesn’t have a stamp duty policy - so the entry price of NZ$639,000 (AU$586,000), is all that is payable on completion.

<img alt="Safari Group’s Mountain Oak Apartments brings new investment potential to Queenstown" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/313_Livingv2_WEB.jpg?VersionId=nV229fM0ZeYpoxOrX372HyGjfwY_LR8c" />

Safari is starting construction of the 141 apartments in Q2 this year, with a two-year build estimated to complete in mid-to-late 2027.<img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="15" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXczFpFAb7WuA6f4f9TtKWcqXyNwR8qqtakWv352ERkpqNlP3KwIo8YKxw67jZNHfpjEGIZGv5MQTbnvLZwNt8iu9IVdOrswOjCvBZ4zhSoOOLrpt6etVEZTN1gkBho0r_R72zdHNA?key=yq3daOanqHSb88QFd8jGYKdb" title="Click and drag to move" width="15" />​

The apartments will feature modern amenities and contemporary designs with expansive windows capturing sweeping views of The Remarkables mountain range.&nbsp;

Interiors are equipped with modern finishes, premium appliances, and secure electronic key-locked doors, ensuring a comfortable living experience for residents and guests alike.

With its strategic location near Coronet Peak and Cardrona Alpine Resort, as well as key retail and dining precincts such as Market Street, Five Mile Shopping Centre, and Remarkables Market, Mountain Oak offers a strong proposition for investors seeking high rental yields and capital appreciation in one of New Zealand’s most sought-after locations.&nbsp;

Queenstown’s sustained demand for visitor accommodation and rental properties is underpinned by a shortage of housing options, attracting both local and international buyers.

Research I saw recently showed that Sydney's growth in dwelling values over the past 10 years has averaged 3.8% a year. The figure takes into account the growth of the past 12-18 months.
The figures also show that Adelaide has the same long-term growth rate, while Canberra and Brisbane have slightly lower growth rates. Hobart's is significantly lower (just 1.9% per year).
The figures, from RP Data, are similar to those I've seen previously from Australian Property Monitors and other research entities.
They show prices in five of the eight capital cities have done little better than match inflation. Wages, according to the Wages Price Index from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, have grown more over the past decade (in most years wages growth has ranged between 3.5% and 4.3%).
As a matter of interest, the base salaries of federal MPs have grown almost 7% per year over the past 10 years. Great leadership from the people who want to end the age of entitlement.
The combined capital cities average for growth in dwelling values is 4.7% per year. Only three cities have exceeded that meagre price growth level. Melbourne, according to these numbers, has averaged about 6% per year, Perth around 7% and Darwin 8%.
But the Sydney figure is the one with the most interest, because it's the growth in Sydney dwelling prices that is causing so much hysteria, including in places where you would expect cool heads and rational minds, such as the Reserve Bank.
It's because prices have grown so little, while wages have risen steadily and interest rates have dropped so low, that both of the major affordability indexes report that current levels of housing affordability are the best they've been in 10 years.
Another means of measuring where prices are really at is to compare the change in each of the major cities since their previous market peaks.
According to these numbers, three of the eight capital cities – Brisbane, Darwin and Hobart - still have price levels well below their previous peaks.
Three other cities – Canberra, Perth and Adelaide – are above their previous peaks, but by less than 3%. Melbourne is 6% up on its previous peak.
Sydney is 22% higher than its previous peak, but that earlier high was a decade ago. Net growth of 22% in 10 years is a fairly dismal performance.
This latest set of data also indicates the combined capital cities growth in the past 12 months is a little over 9% per year. That is not a particularly high figure. I wouldn't term anything below double digits as a boom, particularly as only one city (Sydney again) has growth as high as 9%.
Two core messages emerge from this mass of numbers. One is that most media commentary about surging dwelling prices is irrational, unreasonable and inaccurate.
The other is the importance of being selective about where you buy.
Based on these numbers, which talk about city averages, you probably wouldn't invest in real estate at all. It's only when you dig deeper beneath the averages that you find the out-performers, the places where price growth is well above the norm.
Now, more than ever, you need to take great care in selecting location.

Location and long term growth are what matter

Master planned communities will be South East Queensland's retirement hot spots in 2031, taking over from sea change destinations that are home to the largest numbers of older Australians now, Urban Economics predicts.
Bribie Island had South East Queensland's largest population of people aged over 65 in 2011, according to Urban Economics analysis of census data. The Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast were also popular retirement destinations.
"We are going to continue to see those areas as important but going into 2021, tree change areas pick up in importance, then to 2031, growth areas such as Greenbank and Ripley – the master planned communities – become important," Urban Economics managing director Kerrianne Bonwick-Meulman said.
The researcher forecast that in 2021 Bribie Island would continue to be home to South East Queensland's largest population of retirees with an estimated 4246 people aged 65 to 74; 3695 people aged 75 to 84 years; and 1454 people aged over 85.
But by 2031, Ripley near Ipswich would take over with a projected population of 7947 people aged 65 to 74; 5807 people aged 75 to 84; and 2765 people aged 85 plus.
Bonwick-Meulman said the shift was related to land availability.
Families moving to master planned areas now would be approaching their early, active retirement years in 2031 and would want to remain in their neighbourhoods, she said.
The trend meant there was a need to ensure master planned communities could cater to the needs of older people by incorporating health care facilities and smaller houses aimed at retirees downsizing their homes for example.
"It's about providing choice and diversity of housing stock that can best meet their needs," Bonwick-Meulman said.
Developments completed in the 1970s where most residents are now approaching retirement often lack the facilities that older people need to remain in the community.
Bonwick-Meulman said there was an opportunity for South East Queensland's master planned communities currently in the development stages, such as Ripley, Springfield and Greenbank, to ensure people who are buying into those areas now know that there will be options for them when they are older.

Retirees to favour master planned communities by 2031: Urban Economics

<html><body>
Guest observation
Spring is the peak season for real estate and many of you will be in the market to purchase a property, whether for yourself to live in or as an investment.
Before you head out to an inspection next weekend, or sign a contract of sale, please keep the following list of tips in mind.
<ol>
<li>
List all fixtures/extras in the contract. Anything not physically bolted down is considered a chattel, not a fixture, and could be removed by the vendor. To avoid any doubt, list removable items in the contract. These include dishwashers, free-standing ovens, pool equipment, mirrors, mantel pieces, garden sheds, pot plants and farm equipment. Vendors have been known to remove free-standing dishwashers and ovens before settlement. And be on the lookout for anything you might be buying with the property which is not particularly desirable. I recently reviewed a contract where a daggy sofa bed located in an attic-style room was included in the sale, probably because it was almost physically impossible to remove it! 
</li>
<li>
Read the Owners Corporation rules. Owners Corporations, or Body Corporates, own and manage the common property in subdivisions. Each owner pays a contribution to the maintenance of the common property and shared services provided to the owners, such as gardening and caretaking. Some large apartment developments have more than one Owners Corporation, especially where there are carparks, gyms and swimming pools. Every Owners Corporation has rules; if they don't make their own rules the default legislative rules apply. Always carefully read through the OC rules in the contract, to see if they are something you or your tenant could live with. Last week I read a set of rules that prohibited any pets, no exceptions. Other rules state a limit on the number of pets and even the weight of dogs! 
</li>
<li>
Be careful with off-the-plan purchases. Even though the real estate agent may say the building will be finished next year, the contract could actually allow for five years until completion. If you sign it, you're stuck with it. Remember that you have limited control over fixtures and fittings: aim to specify as much as possible in the contract. The vendor usually has the right to substitute fittings for similar brands and quality, so it's important to list benchmark brand names. The vendor can also generally make minor variations to your apartment, such as reducing the size by a few square metres. This is risky for one-bedroom apartments: if they are too small, you may struggle to obtain finance. Check with your lender before signing any contract. 
</li>
<li>
Be wary of finance on solar panels, newly-renovated kitchens and new swimming pools and spas. These could have been obtained by the vendor on finance or a hire-purchase arrangement. The vendor may not necessarily own them and this will need to be covered off in the contract of sale, particularly in relation to the Personal Property Securities Register, which is a national database of items secured by finance, including vehicles (but not real estate). The last thing you want is for a financier to be overlooked and then your solar panels are repossessed. 
</li>
<li>
Consider obtaining building and pest inspections. Older period homes may have hidden issues with foundations and roofing, as well as termite infestation. Spending a few hundred dollars on a building and/or pest report could save you a fortune if you avoid buying an issue-plagued home. Blocks of flats built in the 60s and 70s will now (if they haven't already) require their windows to be replaced due to rotting. Read the Owners Corporations Annual General Meeting minutes carefully to see if this has already occurred or is on the cards. Look at how much money the OC has in the bank. Will you be required to contribute to major capital works in the future? Look out for the condition of driveway concrete and stairwell carpets too.</li>

Allen Humzy built the resort in the early 1980s for budget holidays and his son Phil currently runs the resort.
The resort attracts families, sporting groups and school camps and offers an income producing business to operate while developing the residential land.
Agent Andrew Jackson from CBRE is calling for offers in collaboration with Rob from Elite Lifestyle Properties and Peter Ward of Ward Commercial.

Diddillibah, Sunshine Coast motel offering

<html><body>
Over the past twelve months house prices have been on the rise, led by Sydney, but also in Melbourne and Brisbane.
Alongside this trend we have seen many high profile and extensively publicised auctions and pre-auction home sales with prices reported as well over the reserve having been paid.
We have also seen a number of apartment projects released for sale and sold out in only a few hours. Meanwhile, in parts of Sydney there's an ongoing land rush, with buyers camping out to buy a block of land in Sydney's booming north-west and south-west.
This sort of activity has not been an aberration, it's the type of market we are seeing more often than not. So called 'Super Saturdays' when big numbers of auctions come onto the market in one day are no longer the exception.
In Sydney in particular, we have almost an entire market showing strong demand even as prices continue to rise. On a slow news weekend this is the stuff of everyday drama, and so it's reasonable to examine why the market is acting this way.
Real Estate is a very different commodity
Against this sort of market environment setting the 'right price' might be starting to look like a somewhat scary prospect for real estate agents, for buyers and for sellers, for either a single private treaty sale, an auction or an entire apartment building or land estate. Real estate is a unique commodity, it is fixed in time and place.
Supply is very inflexible - you can't simply call up the assembly line manager and ask for a new delivery of homes, apartments or land. And we can't over look the overarching role of finance as a key driver of supply and demand.
Can we define value? When we set-out to define value, there is no lack of academic study or case law in this area but much of which comes from 'gentler times'. But none the less it's well worth considering. When looking at value there is the general supposition that firstly any buyer is perfectly acquainted with the property they are looking to buy, that the buyer does the necessary homework to size up the market, which today, thanks to so much published data is a far easier task than it used to be.
That buyers are alert of all the circumstances, which might affect value and the open market price, aspects both good and bad and ticking off a property's location, quality, access to facilities and the surrounding features. That buyers also understand the present levels of demand and the likelihood of what competition they might face, for example at an auction, from other buyers.
And then having either the ready cash or access to secure finance in a competitive market among those capable of buying a particular property. It all sounds very reasonable, very sensible, but then the factor of emotion enters the mix and any neat formula all of a sudden looks less useful.
So we might ask: what are the factors driving the 'emotion' in the market?
This article continues on the next page. Please click below.
<hr class="system-pagebreak">
 Every Property is Unique
While economics defines the rules of supply and demand, the pressures of market over and under supply and the mechanism of price every property remains unique. As such, they rarely only attract one willing buyer.
As cities grow, there will always be competition and that's on the increase.
We should not overlook the impact of population growth. Currently, according to the OECD, Australia has one of the highest population growth rates in the OECD at near 1.8%, while in NZ its 0.9%, in the USA 0.7%, Canada 0.85% and in the UK its -0.8%.
We are fast heading towards a population of 24 million. This one factor alone helps to explain why homes are in such demand.
In New South Wales and Victoria, growth is being strongly fuelled by overseas migration and a big drop in the outflow of population to states like Queensland and Western Australia.
There is a finite supply and, yes, while you might be able to create more apartments or houses, every location is itself unique and so is the local community. They're not possible to replicate.
You can't put extra supply on a freight train and move it. It's fixed in place and time and is always influenced by local conditions. We also have a problem in the amount of time it takes to get new developments off the ground. The DA process at times appears to be stuck in the slow lane.
And because markets are so local, it's possible to have both under-supply and over-supply, which can't easily be fixed, if at all and so prices will always respond. If there are not enough properties for sale, then prices will always rise. Even in new estates or in development areas where more homes can be constructed it takes time to deliver new stock and so prices will rise.
People want to buy and secure their position now, even when this is via an off-the-plan purchase.
Property is local by nature and auctions clearly show how after reflecting upon all of the market factors (like those outlined above) the price paid will always reflect the scarcity and demand at any point in time.
Supply and demand in real estate isn't easy to balance, it takes time and supply needs to be in locations that buyers are after, that buyers want. Buyers are influenced by a range of external factors like the availability of jobs and local services and their needs can be very specific – schooling for a young family, university access for a more mature trade-up family or, for an aging population, medical, recreation and security might be the big issues.
Buying a home, an apartment or an investment in exactly the right community and neighbourhood is not that easy. So it's possible to see why supply and demand is always a local and very personal issue. When there is ready access to finance the competition will remain intense for limited opportunities and prices will always respond. This should not come as a surprise.
Demand and the prices paid for real estate are influenced by many factors including lifestyle options, investment goals, development constraints, population growth, demographics, off-shore buyers and finance. All of these then combine to influence supply and demand, and in today's market many of these factors are instantly recognisable.

How much did they pay? And why?

<html><body>
The Housing Industry Association’s New Home Sales Report recorded a lift in sales over August after weakness in July, which they say makes the decline of new home sales modest.
Housing Industry Association (HIA) economist Diwa Hopkins said that despite a downward trend in total seasonally adjusted new home sales, the 3.3% August increase has ensured that the decline is modest.
“Despite the August bounce, we still hold the view that new home sales reached their peak for the cycle back in April this year,” said Hopkins.
“The result for August was driven primarily by a strong lift in the volatile 'multi-units' sector where sales increased by 19.8%, taking this component of sales to its second highest level this cycle.”
Detached housing, however, increased by 0.5% after a decline over the previous months.
“As leading indicators of new home construction activity, both HIA New Home Sales and ABS Building Approvals are displaying a moderate downward trend,” she said.
“Current levels remain elevated by a historical standard, which is consistent with still healthy levels of new home building throughout 2014/15.”
Detached house sales increased by 11.1% in New South Wales over August, while jumping by 2% in Western Australia. Meanwhile, drops were seen in South Australia, Victoria and Queensland with 6.8%, 6.0% and 0.7% falls respectively.

Decline of new home sales is modest: HIA

An investor has spent $21.3 million buying the NSW north coast Bunnings hardware store at Ballina which comes with the national iconic tourism landmark, the Big Prawn.
The restored late 1980s, 33-tonne giant crustacean is on the 2.5 hectare site with its newly constructed <a href="https://cbre.realcommercial.com.au/property-retail-nsw-ballina-501214567" target="_blank">10,928-square metre</a> Bunnings Hardware complex.
The hardware group spent $400,000 restoring the icon, adding a 16-metre tail weighing two tonnes.
Under the terms of the sale, Bunnings will apparently retain the rights to and responsibility for the prawn at West Ballina, the Australian Financial Review reported.
In 2009, the Horizon Drive icon faced demolition with its former owner Santo Pennisi securing permission from Ballina Shire Council to tear down the structure.
The CBRE sale reflecting a 6.7% yield was to an undisclosed South Australian investor through agents Justin Dowers and Mark Wizel.
“From the beginning it was clear that the Big Prawn was iconic in the region and we have been delighted to provide it with a facelift,” Bunnings general manager property Andrew Marks said.
The 2.5-hectare site had sold as a petrol station truck stop for $9 million to the hardware retailer in 2011. It had previously traded in 1999 at $3.6 million, some 10 years after the prawn was built. It has 173 metres of highway frontage at West Ballina.
The roadhouse creators, the builders Glenn Industries and the Goulburn developers Louis and Attila Moknay of LA Developments, famed for two other big daggy icons, the Big Merino at Goulburn and the Big Oyster at Taree, spent $500,000 and six months to erect it in 1989-90.
The Ballina Woolworths sold last year at $12.5 million.
The Ballina transaction closely follows the sale of a Bunnings Warehouse in Hastings for $15,160,000, representing a yield of 6.5%, to a Victorian-based syndicator

A new report from Aussie and RP Data, the Property Discounting Report, was shared out on Twitter allowing buyers to see where the areas are that they can expect to pay less than the advertised price.
<img src="/images/2014/10/6/Picture%201.png" alt="">
<a href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/https://twitter.com/Aussie/status/517524379840696321" target="_blank">According to the report</a>, just 3.8% of houses sold at the advertised price by private treaty, with 4.7% of units attaining their asking price. However, the majority of houses and units nationally are actually selling less, at 63.4% and 58.1% respectively.
In the capitals this is less of the case, with 43.6% of houses and 46% of units selling above their list price.
So, where have they found selling below list price? You can<a href="https://blog.aussie.com.au/where-in-australia-you-can-expect-to-pay-more-or-less-than-the-advertised-property-price/" target="_blank"> see the full report here</a>, however the top 10 house suburbs include:

Comparing the quarters, South Australia have moved up as Victoria has fallen a little out of favour. Queensland has completely dropped off the top 10.
Parkside has been in the top spot for six times over the past 10 quarters, while South Australia’s Malvern has also been first in two consecutive quarters.
General manager of sales and operations at realestate.com.au Arthur Charlaftis said increased buyer interest is the metric behind the result.
“Top Sellers’ Markets data is derived from the supply and demand in each suburb and ranks the suburbs based on the ratio of buyer demand. A suburb that features in this list suggests that it could be a good time for property owners in these areas to consider selling as there are a high number of buyers searching for property in that area,” said Charlaftis.

Analysis paralysis is something that most people are affected by when they overdo their due diligence.
Essentially, extensive research into the property, location and strategy for your investment portfolio is important, but it can become a problem if you spend time constantly analysing without actually doing anything. This failure to buy, or to act, after substantial research is then called ‘analysis paralysis’.
How to tell if you’re stuck in analysis paralysis
Those who overthink regularly and like to consider every detail are more at risk of getting stuck in the rut of overanalysing. It’s very common for new investors, particularly as fear comes into play, and with so much data available it’s not surprising that conflicting details do come up and confuse the process.
Observer Cameron McEvoy calls it “an industry illness when it comes to property investment.” He notes that it’s <a href="/expert-insights/investing/what-early-signs-of-market-recovery-mean-for-property-investors">hard enough due to property being a slow burn investment, and data often lagging</a>.
“One of the best ways to combat a case of analysis paralysis is to invest in your own property sleuth skills. Become like a detective; don't be afraid to follow a hot lead based on instinct, and remember to use all of your instincts and logic to lead to you the answers you seek,” he explains.
He suggests using logic to question current data and numbers, compare it to historical data and listen to the opinions of many experts and agents.
“As for instinct – go with your gut feeling. Sometimes a great deal that just doesn't feel right, probably isn't right for you. This does not mean it isn't a great deal – it just isn't the deal that's the right solution for your brief.”
If you’re not sure whether you’re stuck in analysis paralysis, ask yourself these questions:
Am I financially prepared to purchase?
Am I confident that I know the area well?
Have I researched thoroughly?
If you have said yes to the above, then you may be delaying unnecessarily. You then may want to ask yourself: Do I have a reason to delay purchasing?
Rich Harvey notes that <a href="/expert-insights/investing/the-three-types-of-property-buyers-and-the-cycle-of-emotion-in-buying-a-property">buyers who can categorise themselves as ‘reactive’ </a>– that is, you buy when prompted and then perhaps it’s too late, are often those that are stuck in this paralysis. It’s all about having the right balance between research and action.
Sometimes, analysis paralysis is due to fear of purchasing the wrong thing. This may suggest that it’s time to get an expert on board for some guidance. It may also be because you’re not ready to take the risk. In some situations, listening to your internal paralysis and holding off out of the market can be a good thing.
It is worth noting that those considering the opportunity cost of their actions in particular also consider the opportunity cost of not acting at all.
