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.
