Episode #34 The Drive Home to the Hawkesbury with Rachael Goldsworthy – How to identify growth suburbs and win with Property

13 July, 2016 · Posted by Rachael Goldsworthy

Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening depending on when you’re watching this video. I’m Rachael Goldsworthy and I’m checking in with you on the drive home to Hawkesbury. Today is State of Origin. I’m wearing the right colour I believe, but I’m walking around in Queensland with the wrong colour. But [00:00:30] I don’t mind because I’m proud of my heritage from New South Wales.

Anyway, I just wanted to check in with you with the State of Origin because it’s all about backing the right team, isn’t it? And it’s the same thing with houses. When you’re looking for the right house you want to make sure you back the right suburb. So I’ve put together a couple of ideas for you as I was driving around some of the newer subdivisions in the Queensland area, around Jimboomba, and a few other suburbs close by … Flagstone. There’s a few new [00:01:00] housing developments that are coming up, but interestingly all of those developments are built around infrastructure. So, what you’re looking at when you’re backing a suburb, or wanting to buy the right suburb, is a number of things, and it’s not limited to these things. But, equally, what is important is amenities because when you’re looking at resale people want to know that there’s particular shops or there’s particular rail lines, or there’s particular schools for the kids. Additionally there’s other things [00:01:30] that would come into play such as motorways. It’s important for people to access their workplaces or get around fairly easily with the transport or the local bus way system.

Uh, people also look for parks and play areas for the kids, whether there’s skate parks or whether there’s BMX tracks, or whether there’s local trails in the bush that kids can walk, or, say for example the bike tracks that are along Windsor Road leading into Windsor and run all [00:02:00] the way through to Rouse Hill. So that’s quite a popular one within the Hawkesbury area. Uh, we also have the pleasure of living near the Hawkesbury River. So that comes with it so many water activities that we can enjoy there. So, think of all of those things when you’re looking at backing the right suburb and that will put you in good stead.

Well good luck with the State of Origin tonight. I hope your team wins and you also back the right suburb wherever you may be buying your house. Equally if you’ve got any questions [00:02:30] or comments in regards to property in the Hawkesbury or other otherwise I’d be more than happy to assist you with that. I’m Rachael Goldsworthy and I look forward to catching up with you on the next video.

Episode #33 The Drive Home to the Hawkesbury with Rachael Goldsworthy – June Housing Report comments from Dr A Wilson

11 July, 2016 · Posted by Rachael Goldsworthy

Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening, depending on what time you’re watching this video. My name is Rachael Goldsworthy, and I’m just checking in with you on the drive home to Hawkesbury, in a different location from Queensland today. Last week I was lucky enough to catch up with Dr. Andrew Wilson from the Domain Property Group. He was kind enough to share his thoughts on the June quarter, and I thought that they’re really interesting, and I thought I’d share them with you. The Sydney median house price is edging closer to that million dollars, so that’s quite exciting for us. It’s at 995,804. Units, interestingly enough are a little bit shy of that number at 656,166.

The overall of the snapshot is that we are experiencing a lower number investors in the marketplace. Equally, we’ve got historically, the lowest interest rates that we’ve ever experienced. It’s really interesting, yet again, that the investors make up 44.3% of the marketplace, and that Parramatta is experiencing a higher vacancy rate than most. The vacancy rate across Sydney is 1.8 for houses, and it’s actually 2.2 for units. Sydney yield cycles, for Sydney are 4.1, and equally houses is 3.3. The outlook for the remainder of this year is good news for the property market with the lower interest rates predicted, and equally a 2% growth forecast.

I’m going to leave you with some local images from the Scenic Rim with the hot air balloons rising in the background, which landed in one of the local vineyards and had some breakfast there. Equally you can do that in the Hawkesbury. It’s a great thing to do. Cloud Nine run the hot air ballooning in the Hawkesbury. If you have any questions in regards to the Hawkesbury property or any of the reports, or the details of the reports I’ve given you, more than happy to chat about property. Look forward to hearing from you soon.

I’m Rachael Goldsworthy, and I look forward to catching up with you then.

Episode #31 The Drive Home to the Hawkesbury with Rachael Goldsworthy – Is your Circuit Breaker Tripping

5 July, 2016 · Posted by Rachael Goldsworthy

Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening, depending on what time you’re watching this video. I’m Rachael Goldsworthy, and I’m checking in with you on the drive home to the Hawkesbury. With all this cold weather that we’ve been experiencing, I don’t know about you, but I tend to navigate to the heaters, the air conditioners, warm clothes, electric blankets, those sorts of things. When you haven’t turned on appliances for a period of time, sometimes those appliances cannot be working the way in which they should be, which is why it’s always good to get an electrician out if the circuit breaker trips. What we’ve found over the years is that when the circuit breakers trip, often that will be because there’s something wrong with the appliance or there’s an overload on the electricals. It’s really important that the family’s safe in your house, and that you’re checking those things if there’s a problem. Don’t keep on switching on the circuit breaker and thinking, “Oh, it just must have switched it off”. There’s always a reason for those things happening, and it’s always best to get your electrician in to assess that for you.

Anyway, I’m Rachael Goldsworthy, and if you’ve got any questions in regards to your investment property or what to do, or what electricians to give a call in regards to making that assessment for you, I’m more than happy to help you. I’m Rachael Goldsworthy, look forward to catching up with you on the next video.
