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 #30 The Drive Home to the Hawkesbury with Rachael Goldsworthy – The best suburbs to invest in Property

5 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. A question I get asked quite a lot from purchasers and landlords as to which is the best suburb to buy an investment property in? What I’ve done for everybody is put together a list of suburb profiles. There’s about 20 or 30 online for you at my website Rachaelgoldsworthy.com.au under suburb profiles. That will just help you navigate through the questions that you may have in regards to a particular suburb that you’re researching. Once you work out which suburbs you’ve identified that you quite like, whether it’s with schools or whether it’s with shopping centres or whether you just like the way in which it’s got the heritage style houses. What ever it might be that attracts you to those particular suburbs, short list that suburb and put that on the list with the others.

I’d probably do a list of three suburbs that you’re interested in. Then have a look online as to what houses are available and also speak to your agent in regards to what houses are available because they’re more than happy to help you with that process and talk you through as to what questions that you have in regards to buying a house or leasing a house or anything in regards to suburbs. If you’ve got questions in regards to the suburb profiles, or further questions once you’ve read the suburb profiles on my website, I’m more than happy to help you. Always happy to talk about property. I’m Rachael Goldsworthy and I look forward to catching up with you on the next video.

Episode #22 The Drive Home to the Hawkesbury with Rachael Goldsworthy – Rachael talks about McGraths Hill

3 April, 2014 · Posted by Rachael Goldsworthy

Hi. My name’s Rachael Goldsworthy and I’ve just left a listing bright and early on Sunday morning, in at the lovely McGraths Hill. It was a two-story home, which is typically what they have in McGraths Hill. A lot of the homes are two set because of the flood levels. A lot of the homes had to be built that little bit higher for that reason. Typically they’ll put the rumpus room downstairs or teenager’s retreat. It’s a really good utilisation of space rather than having a wasted void there. Sometimes they’ll have the garage downstairs as well, but they’re really nice homes. There’s lots of parks. There’s Colbee Park. They play baseball, soccer, BMX, those sorts of things. There’s also some really good preschools in the area together with good facilities.

There’s the local shops that have lots of different things available to the locals. You’re within walking distance to the train if you wanted to catch the train at Mulgrave, and you’re also within walking distance to transport and those sorts of things. Anyway McGraths Hill’s at the top of my list for one of the best suburbs to buy in the Hawkesbury. If you’ve got any questions in regards to that, don’t hesitate to call me. I’m Rachael Goldsworthy, and I look forward to catching up with you on the next video.
