As the First Home Owners’ boost starts to phase out, First National Real Estate says the banks will determine whether the current property market revival will be sustained for any length of time.

“We expect there to be a drop off in first home buyer activity once the Federal Government initiatives come to an end,” Mike Gray, First National Nerang said.

“But, there is also the potential for the middle market, which is already showing encouraging signs of recovery, to be reignited, effectively making up any drop off.

“With prices stabilising and consumer confidence high, the only thing that could stop the recovery continuing and strengthening, would

be the banks increasing their variable rates either with, or ahead of, the Reserve Bank increasing their rates.”

In August, banks were quick to raise the fixed rates ahead of the Reserve Bank’s announcement it would hold interest rates until at least early in 2010. But as pressure mounts on governments to rein in their support of the banks, there is speculation the banks will increase their rates early to offset any potentially negative impact from this move.

Mike said if first home buyers stop buying, there is potential for the emerging property recovery to stop or even reverse unless other market segments are stimulated.

“There are signs throughout our network that second and third home buyers, including investors, are taking advantage of current conditions, helping push prices up as they go,” Mike said.

“But, the threat of rising interest rates may impact on

and unit prices since December 2007.

‘‘The consolidation that began in the March 2009 quarter has now transformed into strong growth across the country,’’ APM economist Matthew Bell said. He also pointed out that while low interest rates, flat

prices and first home owner grants supported the affordable end of the market through the end of 2008 and early

2009, ‘‘ it has been the upper end of the market that has driven the strong growth in the major capitals in the June quarter’’. In Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, Mr Bell said, the median prices in the top 50% of suburbs grew by nearly double the rate of those of the bottom 50% in the June quarter.

Housing affordability has continued to improve across Australia, with a report showing it has become cheaper to buy than rent in 94 suburbs across the country.

A report prepared by RP Data on behalf of the Commonwealth Bank recently found that the number of suburbs in which it has become cheaper to service a monthly mortgage payment than a rental bill had increased from 74 to 94 in the six months to July — a rise of 27%.

That affordability figure improved further after factoring in the first home buyer’s grant, with the number of suburbs where it was cheaper to buy than rent more than doubling to 203. Driving that growth, said Commonwealth retail banking group executive Ross McEwan, were ‘‘significant increases in the numbers of suburbs in Queensland and Victoria where weekly rents exceed average weekly home loan repayments, with 10 more suburbs identified in each state, compared with six months ago.’’

The timing of the bank’s report coincided with the release of 2 national housing reports that pointed to improved home sales activity and sharp increases in house prices in the June half. At odds with findings of better affordability is researcher Australian Property Monitors’ quarterly housing data, which show that house prices jumped 3.3% nationally in the June quarter — the strongest quarterly growth in house

Of the 94 suburbs declared more affordable to buy in, 66% were regional, with the balance in metropolitan areas. In the previous half, it was more evenly split. The findings were based on a series of assumptions, such as a loan-to-valuation ratio of 85% and a variable interest rate of 5.74% per annum over a 30-year term.

That was compared with monthly rental payments based on the median advertised rental for the suburb. ‘‘Within the metro areas, almost without exception, it is units rather than houses that are more affordable to buy than rent,’’ the Commonwealth report says.

On a state-by-state basis, the reports finds that the majority of suburbs identified as being cheaper to buy in than rent were located in Queensland, accounting for 26 of the 94 suburbs. NSW had the second-highest number of suburbs where it was more affordable to buy than rent. However, this number fell from 29 to 24 in the six months to July.

this promising trend.”

Since the grant and boost were introduced in September last year, more than 59,000 Australians have taken advantage of the highest levels of housing affordability, since 2002.

For eligible first home buyers entering into contracts between 1 October 2009 and 31 December 2009, the first home buyers boost will be reduced from $14,000 for existing homes and $21,000 for new properties to $3,500 and $7,000 respectively.

“However, state-based initiatives and assistance packages are still available for home buyers and we would encourage purchasers to seek the services of a reputable agent to help them maximise any assistance available through these state-based schemes. It is also important to talk to as many lenders as possible, to show the banks that they cannot take home owners for granted,” Mike said.

Nerang Local Wins First Draw!This month, Karen Miller was the lucky winner of our the fi rst $1000 draw and coincidentally, she has just sold her home through Suzie Gale of Nerang First National.

‘I was just looking through Nerang First National’s website when I found the competition so I simply entered my details’ said Karen.

‘Nobody was more surprised than me to receive a phone call telling me that I was the winner of the $1000. Nerang First National sold my home within 12 days, which was like a dream, but I didn’t expect to win a statewide competition at the same time’.

‘All Queenslanders have to do is to log onto our website, follow the prompts and submit their entry form when our competition starts again in October,” said Mike Gray, Principal from Nerang First National Real Estate.

‘It’s that simple. No skill is involved and everyone has an equal chance to win in our state based competition.’

TIMES ARE CHANGING...TIMES ARE CHANGING...THE NEW FIRST NATIONAL BRANDTHE NEW FIRST NATIONAL BRAND

First National is changing its corporate branding and Nerang First National will be one of the fi rst in the new colours. The First National group is Australia’s largest independent real estate network and the third largest real estate brand in the country.

First National has changed a great deal in its 26 year history, having grown from having 30 members in 1983 to 450+ plus member offi ces employing

in excess of 5000 people today.

Nerang First National is in the middle of changing over to the new First National brand and be one of the fi rst

agencies in the country to have made the switch and the painters and signwriters should be

starting very soon.

We thought we would give you a sneak peek of what the offi ce will look like through this mockup.

MORTGAGEES REFINANCE FOR RENOVATIONSMortgagees are refi nancing up to 50 per cent of their properties to renovate, according to Loan Market Group executive director John Kolenda.

Kolenda said homeowners were seeking refi nance amounts of between $20,000 and $100,000 for renovations.

“It’s the major trend we have noticed in recent months as activity in the residential property market has slowed slightly during the winter,” he said.

Kolenda believes the renovation rush

is on now while residential real estate is slow.

“At times when people are reluctant to sell they will often consider renovating to enhance and prepare their properties for the market when it is on the rise again,” he said.

As fi rst homeowners dissipate, Kolenda is now starting to see more interest from investors due to strong market fundamentals.

“Given what has recently been happening in the sharemarket,

As you are probably aware by now from recent media advertising, from 1st September, the Government has decided to increase the subsidy for ceiling insulation to landlords from $1,000 to 1,600, which means in most cases, it’s absolutely FREE!

Who is eligible?To be eligible to obtain the assistance the Householder must be:

The Landlord of the dwelling • where the Ceiling Insulation is to be installed and be:

* an Australian citizen or permanent resident aged 18 years or over; or * a corporate entity incorporated in Australia; or

The Tenant of a dwelling who • has evidence of the Landlord’s permission to install ceiling insulation in that dwelling under the Home Insulation Program and to sign the Work Order Form;

and

* not have been granted assistance under the Australian Government’s Solar Hot Water Rebate program since the rebate

SOME GOOD NEWS FOR LANDLORDS AND THEIR TENANTS

was increased to $1,600 on 3 February 2009 for that dwelling; and

* be arranging the installation of new Ceiling Insulation, not replacing existing ceiling insulation.

How to arrange installation

To arrange installation you will need to:

Select at least one installer from • the Installer Provider Register or phone 1800 808 571 for a list of installers servicing your area.

Contact your selected installer/s • and arrange for a physical site inspection and a written quote for the installation of ceiling insulation.

You are encouraged to approach a number of installers on the register to explore the best solution for your particular needs. During their initial contact with installers householders should confirm that the installer will be able to service their area.

Once the installation is complete you will need to:

If you are satisfied with the work • - complete and sign the relevant

section of the work order form presented to you by your installer; and

Retain your copy of the written • quote, tax invoice, completed and signed work order form and any other proof of purchase documents provided to you by the installer for Australian Government audit purposes for a period of five (5) years.

If the cost of the installation is over $1,600, you will ordinarily need to pay the installer the difference or the full amount if you are ineligible.

investors are starting to view property investment as a great long-term opportunity to create wealth.

“I also believe it is a good time for existing homeowners to upgrade now as the buyer can secure that next big fi nancial commitment and, if they choose, lock in a reasonable fi xed interest rate.”
