Episode #36 The Drive Home to the Hawkesbury with Rachael Goldsworthy – peeling paint in bathrooms

14 August, 2016 · Posted by Rachael Goldsworthy


Good morning, good afternoon or good evening, depending on when you’re watching this video. I’m Rachael Goldsworthy, checking in with you on the drive home to Hawksbury, and I’m in a different location, in a bathroom. Just wanting to show you an exhaust fan which is just up here. There we go, just up there you can see, and that exhaust fan is a little bit dirty.

Now, the reason I bring that to your attention, and it might seem a really simple thing, but if those exhaust fans aren’t cleaned properly they can’t take the [00:00:30] air, the hot air um that’s rising out of the bathroom when you’re having the shower, the condensation into the cavity of the roof and take it away from the ceiling. Because what happens is that condensation gathers on the ceiling and then eventually it will cause peeling on the ceiling in the bathroom, which is a, quite a common thing when people-, I know wintertime comes and you don’t want to turn the fan on because it’s a little bit cool and those sorts of things, but it also has a flow-on effect if you’re not turning the fan on on a regular basis. Summertime’s a little bit easier; [00:01:00] you want to turn the fan on cause it makes the place nice and cool as you’re having a shower as well, but equally, this is just an important thing to mention to people when they’re having a shower and using and looking after the, the maintenance of a rental property.

Anyway, if you have any other questions in regards to property management or maintenance of properties, I’m more than happy to help. I’m Rachael Goldsworthy, and I look forward to catching up with you on the next video.

Episode #37 The Drive Home to the Hawkesbury with Rachael Goldsworthy – Ebenezer Art & Craft Fair 2016

10 August, 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 on the drive home looking forward to the weekend activities with the Ebenezer Art and Craft Fair. It’s opening night is on Friday night at 7:00 and then on Saturday they’ve got some activities for the family and friends. That we will be between 10:00 and 3:00. On the Saturday we’ve got some auction things that will [00:00:30] be held as well, which is going to be great. I’m going to be auction off some brilliant prizes.

I’ll just go through the list with you if you’re interested. If you can’t be there on the day, don’t worry because you’ll be able to bid online, which I’ll explain a little bit later. I’ve got a GWS Giants tickets. There’s four of those for the Fremantle game on the 20th of August, fantastic. We’ve got a 10 week, um, unlimited classes for the Smartsteppers Talent Studios. Taronga Zoo, a family pass and you can also go to the Western Plains Zoo if you want [00:01:00] to use that at that particular zoo. Both the zoos I’ve been to and they’re brilliant. The VIP portrait package is hair, makeup and photos. So that will be a good one if you wanted to dress yourself up and look really pretty for a particular, um, portfolio. Whitewater rafter- rafting session, which I’ve had a look at that. I’ve been down to the whitewater rafting centre and it’s so much fun. So that’s a good one to get involved with.

Ghost tour, oh that’s a terrific thing too in Windsor Ghost Tours, the Hawkesbury Sightseeing, lots of fun. Janice and all [00:01:30] her team are just great. Then we’ve also go tennis racket and balls by the Inside- Inside the Lines at Richmond. They’re wonderful people that have donated that prize. A hundred dollar gift voucher from Kennard so if you got any of those things around the house that you’ve been thinking of doing and needing a trailer or need to go and hire a drill or something like that from Kennards they’d be more than happy to help you out then. We’ve also got an Ashton guitar. I don’t know whether that means it’s an Ashton guitar from 5 Seconds of Summer or whether it’s [00:02:00] an Ashton guitar. Cool Kids Music have donated that so that’s a great prize. A three-course dinner if you’re feeling a little bit hungry you can include a bottle of wine with that. And that’s donated by Juniors on the Hawkesbury, which is great. Overlooking the Hawkesbury River and a really nice, serene place to go and visit. So there’s a golf course there and there’s also a pool so as we’re heading into the warmer months it’s going to be lots of fun.

The list just goes on and one. The donations from local people has been, you know, wonderful and I know the Ebenezer [00:02:30] people are really welcoming of that. So continuing on the list we’ve got the Tobruk Sheep Station. Um, that’s a family pass there. We’ve got a one night in a courtyard room with Sebel Spa and Hawkesbury Valley, um, setup. So if you wanted to go and have a romantic dinner for two and then go and stay the night at Sebel that would be fun. You’ve also got a Onga submersible pump fr- donated by Hawkesbury Valley Irrigation, which would be handy being on the river or in and around [00:03:00] the river or even just if you’ve got some tanks on the property that you need a pump. Riverside Oaks has kindly donated a, um, two rounds of golf and lunch or dinner for two so that’s a great prize. We’ve also got a Scenic World family pass donated by Scenic World.

We’ve got dinner for two … like, we’re going to be really hungry by the time we finish this list. Dinner for two and the value $120 at Settler’s Arms Inn at St. Albans. So I don’t know whether you’ve ever been down to that pub, but that’s a great little pub [00:03:30] to go to and lots of fun for the day. Ronson toaster and kettle pack donated by The Good Guys. And as they say they are the good guys. We’ve got a six months … If you’re feeling … We’re eating all this food and then we need to go and get fit we can go the YMCA at the Hawkesbury Oasis. That’s a six month gym membership so that’s making us look pretty good there. Then you’ve got two adult passes to Featherdale Wildlife Park so that’s a fun day with the kids, too if you’re looking at something to do in the school holidays that are coming up.

Then you’ve got Sydney [00:04:00] Harbour Sightseeing Cruise. I’ve been on that one. And Captain Cook Cruises, they do a great job. So you get to see lots of things in the harbour, great day out and especially with the school holidays again. Easy Lane, really nice renovation that they’ve done at Windsor RSL. They’ve given a $75 food and beverage voucher so we really appreciate their support there. We’ve got a really special prize, too with a ride in a Super Class ski boat, which is from Ontrak Engineering. This boat actually goes … as I’m probably not saying the right [00:04:30] thing, but the boat, I’m going to call it a boat, um, it goes over a 100 miles per hour and, um, you do a hot lap from Windsor to Sackville and back so that would be rather exciting so, uh …

And we’ve got one final prize, which is, um, an auction item. That’s two tickets to the V8 Supercars. Now, I don’t know whether you like Supercars or not. I believe that they’re really fast and furious and lots of fun on the day. That’s on the 27th and 28th of [00:05:00] August and that’s at Eastern Creek. And not only do you get the two tickets, you actually get a private p- tour and not only that, we’re going to through in the steak knives as well, no not quite. We’re going to throw in an introduction to Tim Slade who’s one of the drivers of the Freightliner V8 Supercar. So we’re going to give you a pit tour of the V8- the Freightliner V8 Supercar garage, which is a really special thing and we really … big shout out to Matt Robinson. Really appreciate your help on that one to make that [00:05:30] prize happen.

So these are some of the auction items. If you can’t be there on Saturday to bid, the auction starts at 12:00, if you wanted to bid online beforehand just go to the website Ebenezer … the Ebenezer … I should know this shouldn’t I? I’ve been looking it up all day. Ebenezerartshow.com.au and there’s a bid online. So go onto that website, have a look at the prizes that they’ve go there. They’ve done a wonderful [00:06:00] job on getting everything together for you. There’s going to be lots of local artists, arts and crafts, stalls for the day, cake stalls, I got some great cakes last year. White elephant stall, there’s going to be a Pluck a Duck to win lots of prizes. Plants and preserves, guess the pig weight, local fire brigade, jumping castle, the list keeps going. Lucky dip, face painting, pet zoo, kids’ activities, sausage sizzshle- sizzle can’t even say it but they taste pretty good, nachos, [00:06:30] cakes and coffee, fairy floss, and slushies.

So for those who are looking for something to do on the weekend, Friday night’s the opening of the art show. Then Saturday’s the big day with the kids and family from 10:00 till 3:00. Looking forward to seeing everybody there as I’m sure everybody from Ebenezer Public School is. Have a great day and I look forward to catching up with you on the next video.

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.
