THE most expensive home in the pastyear was sold in Mosman Park formore than $20 million.
The latest REIWA figures for theyear ending the September quarter2008 show that there were over 80suburbs in Perth which had individualproperty sales of $1 million or more.
Managing director of Acton,Graeme Baxter, said that in thecurrent real estate market buyerswere still prepared to pay premiumprices for premium properties.
“There is always an undersupply ofproperties that have an intrinsicscarcity value and Acton continues toachieve very high selling prices forthese types of properties,” Mr Baxtersaid.
“Sale prices for premium propertiesin Perth still compare very favourablywith even larger capital cities inAustralia such as Sydney andMelbourne.”
He said the top selling price in thepast year was for a property inMosman Park for $20.4 million.

UNDER OFFER
PROFESSIONALS, families andinvestors in the western suburbs are beingoffered an opportunity to secure fractionalownership of high-end holiday homes inthe Perth hills, Margaret River, NewZealand and Canada.
LeisureNet Properties has alreadyestablished “Jacaranda”, a colonial stylehomestead near Toodyay, 85km east ofPerth in the picturesque Avon Valley.
Projects in the Margaret River regionand Canada are well developed and areexpected to be completed soon.
Unlike timeshare, fractional ownershipis a growing initiative whereby ownersenjoy direct and transparent access to anyproperty value growth.
Co-founder of LeisureNet Properties,John Smith, said it was like owning yourown holiday home for literally a fraction ofthe cost of owning one outright.
“The really neat feature of fractionalproperty ownership is that yourinvestment in a holiday home can be tunedto your expected level of use,’’ he said.
“It’s a true investment with growthpotential and is quite different to timeshareschemes .
“It’s ideal for those wanting to spend amonth or so a year in a prestigiousproperty that won’t cost them a milliondollars.’’
Mr Smith said fractional ownership
worked by creating a number of shares,usually up to a maximum of 13, in any oneproperty.
Shareholders can own more than oneshare and they secure access spread overthe year in proportion to theirshareholding
“Regarding the Jacaranda property,some shares are presently for sale by oneof the major shareholders,” Mr Smith said.
“This represents a unique opportunityto acquire a slice of classic Australian ruralparadise very close to Perth, in fact justone hour and 20 minutes from the westernsuburbs via Reid Highway.’’
Mr Smith said Jacaranda was an idealholiday home for those looking for a ruralproperty to escape to on weekends.
Unlike the South West, which takes agood three hours to reach, Toodyay iseasily accessible for those living close tothe city.
The Jacaranda homestead is situatedamong 100 acres of pasture, paddock andbush.
It was built in 1999 and comprises threebedrooms, two bathrooms and ampleliving space.
The house is built in traditional countrystyle, including a charming wood fire, butwith modern conveniences including coffeemaker, airconditioning and dishwasher.
Features include wide verandah,reticulated garden with ponds, exotic andindigenous plants and gazebos.
The farm also has nine fenced paddocks,a large machinery workshop, two damsstocked with silver perch, fruit and olivetree orchards, poultry runs and largefreshwater tanks.

TOP PROPERTY TIPS FOR TODAY5THIS week
Propel NationalValuersvaluationsmanager TravisColemanshares his toptips on how tobuy property ina downwardmarket.1. PRICE IS RIGHTThe cheapest is not always the best. Focus on locations that deliver highrates of capital growth over the longterm (e.g. properties near the city,river or ocean).2. LOCATION, LOCATION,LOCATIONIf you are a first-time buyer, forexample, it is better to buy a small unitin an area that traditionally delivershigh rates of capital growth rather thana large house in an outer suburb thathistorically records lower rates ofcapital growth. Try to avoid areas witha high number of rental properties.Suburbs with a high rate of owneroccupiers generally tend to have betterstreet appeal, which helps with theresale of the property.3. CAPITAL GROWTHCheck high capital growth areas thathave fallen the most during the pastyear. These will tend to reboundstrongly once property prices begin torise.4. TARGET AREASFind a street in a target suburb whichhas a number of properties listed forsale. Generally, there will be greatercompetition among these sellers. Speakto the selling agent to determine if theowner is a motivated seller (e.g. anowner may want to sell urgentlybecause of moving overseas).5. EXPERT ADVICEGet an independent valuation of theproperty. If the valuation comes inbelow the listed price, it will give yougreater negotiation strength with thevendor. However, if the valuationcomes in around the listed price, it willgive you peace of mind that you are notpaying too much for the property.
Holiday for fraction of the cost
Renters flock to coast despite economic slowdownDESPITE a rise in the number of rentalproperties on the market, the rentalvacancy rate remains tight in coastalsuburbs.
The Peard Real Estate Group, one of thelargest property managers of coastalproperties in Perth, is reporting a rentalvacancy rate of just one per cent forproperties within 1km of the coast.
Managing director of The Peard Real
Estate Group, Stuart Cox, said there hadbeen an increase in rental properties overthe past five months due to a slowdown inthe sales market.
“More people are deciding to rentrather than purchase a home along thecoastal strip even though interest ratesare falling,” he said.
“This has placed a huge demand onrental properties in coastal areas.”
Mr Cox said he expected the rentalvacancy rate to fall below one per centover the summer, when demand forcoastal properties historically spike.
“As a result of a very tight rental market,tenants should brace themselves forfurther increases in weekly rents,” he said.
“Over the past year, weekly rents inmany coastal areas have increased bybetween 10 to 20 per cent.” ■

THERE has been a 25 per cent rise in thenumber of new loans from firsthomebuyers in Perth.
The Mortgage Gallery has recordedrising demand for new loans since theFederal Government’s First Home OwnerBoost was announced in October.
The Mortgage Gallery managingdirector Ryan Dhue said first homebuyerswere taking advantage of the new grant tobuy house and land packages andestablished homes in a number of Perthsuburbs.
“Property values in Perth are now attheir most competitively priced in recentyears,” he said.
“For example, in parts of the northernsuburbs, you can still buy an establishedhome on a block of land for under$400,000. In addition, many landdevelopers in the area are now offeringattractive financial incentives for peopleconsidering building a new home.
“The Mortgage Gallery is also finding
that more first homebuyers in northernsuburbs are deciding to buy their firsthome because rents have risen stronglyover the past three years.”
Mr Dhue said that with interest ratesnow beginning to fall sharply, the costdifference between owning your ownhome and renting had significantlydecreased in recent months.
He said anyone considering buying ahome for the first time in the next fewmonths should consider the costs, look attheir choices, check the fine print andspeak to a qualified broker. ■

Modest facade hides a creative showpiece
THANKS to the current owner’s deft handat renovating, this dual-level residence hasbeen transformed into a contemporaryshowpiece that exhibits a creative approachto design and attention to detail.
The modest Agett Street façade beliesboth its stylised interior aesthetic and space.
A high perimeter fence encloses the frontcourtyard, with pedestrian access via atimber-slatted gate.
For residents, there is direct access to thehome from a double garage.
Vine-covered pergola structures here andin a rear courtyard provide naturalprotection from the elements in the form ofcolourful treetop canopies.
Feature paving with pebble borders addcharacter to the custom-designed outdoorentertaining areas, including a split-level
alfresco area at the back with a gazebo,overflow pot water feature and reticulated,landscaped gardens with feature lighting.
The ground floor living areas make animpact on entry, which is through a glassdoor with an atrium-style roof above.
Timber flooring, suspended ceilings withdownlights and a vibrant feature wallcombine to impressive effect, adding warmthand interest to the open-plan kitchen, familyroom and meals area.
Cupboards and display shelving withlighting on the back of the kitchen benchprovide built-in cabinetry for the familyroom.
Granite bench tops and timber storageunits feature in the well-equipped kitchen,which has stainless-steel appliances.
A timber-tread staircase with a stainless-
steel balustrade and timber handrail faces themeals area, with glass doors to the rearcourtyard and laundry access.
For privacy and space, there is a separatelounge room with an understated colourscheme and two sets of glass doors leadingto the outdoor entertaining area.
On the first floor, a shared bathroomservices two minor bedrooms, while themaster suite connects to a private wet area.
A shared theme between the twobathrooms is mosaic tiling. Blue and grey tilesin the main bathroom form a combinedshower-bath surround and cover a vanity,with inset timber cupboards and drawers.
Red tiling makes a bold statement in theensuite, with a floating vanity and openshower recess with a glass screen.
A freestanding timber unit with built-in
bedside tables, reading lights and storagecompartments divides the main bedroomfrom a walk-in wardrobe the length of theroom.
This bedroom appears light and airy, witha light colour scheme and white built-inshutters. ■

REVIEWS
Attractive street appealcontinues on the inside
A CHANGE of lifestyle is calling the owners of thischarming property to the east coast, but the couplesaid that if they could take the house with them, theywould.
Christine and Gary McLean have lived at theWembley address for six years and Christine said theyloved the fact that it was so close to everything.
“I walk to work, Gary rides to work. It’s close tothe beach and city, and any direction you want to go,it’s right there,” she said.
The character house is on a 666sqm-corner blockand has great presentation from the street, whichcontinues throughout.
Features like decorative high ceilings, picture railsand leaded windows add charm to many areas,including a formal lounge room at the front.
This room connects to a formal dining room andhas a bay window and side highlight windows overbuilt-in display cabinets that flank a fireplace with brickfaçade.
Jarrah floorboards are laid from its entry throughthree bedrooms, formal areas and a main passage that
splits to a bedroom wing at one side and living spaceat the back.
A big timber kitchen has an island bench withbreakfast bar, a dishwasher, gas burners, double fridgerecess and ample bench and cupboard space.
An open-plan dining and family area opens via acolonial door to decking, overlooking a sunken backyard.
Christine said the deck was a favourite area, andthe couple spent as much time out there as possible.
Steps lead down to a paved alfresco area with highpatio that opens to manicured lawn and gardens.
At the back, glass balustrade sections off a poolarea with limestone-style paving, while screens andgardens add privacy.
Not that there is much privacy needed, withCatherine saying she enjoyed being on a corner blockwith lane access behind, as the home had only oneimmediate neighbour.
She said it was a lovely neighbourhood and waswalking distance from schools and shops. ■

A well thought-out separation of living areas makes this home a versatile choice for a range of buyers. By ROMENA MANNING
Put your feet up and enjoy the good life
SPLIT levels on both storeys of this house give it goodseparation of areas, making it suitable for a range of buyers.
Upstairs, a central activity room has three double-sizedbedrooms opening from it, and leads down to a secondcentral living area.
Each minor bedroom has built-in wardrobes and timbervenetian blinds.
The second living area – a parents’ retreat – acts as amezzanine floor over an entry area and opens to a mainbedroom and front balcony.
The owners and their four children have lived at theproperty for four years and said it made a great family home,suitable for many people, from couples to small families.
They said the separation was good, and with fourbedrooms, could cater for children and those with visitors.
The main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and ensuitewith double vanity unit, recessed shower, separate toilet anddeep oval bath. One owner said the ensuite was one of herfavourite areas, and she enjoyed pleasant views over theneighbourhood while soaking in bubbles.
Living areas are on the ground floor, with a study at thefront suitable as a fifth bedroom, and french doors opening toa verandah and front garden.
A big kitchen with granite benchtops overlooks a light andbright dining area, with a family area to the side.
A highlight of the house for its owners is a decked alfrescoarea, where bi-fold doors open from the dining space.
“Because we’re not overlooking any houses and have treesaround, it’s very peaceful… we’ve had Christmas in July andopened the (bi-fold) doors right back and had long tablesgoing all the way out,” she said.
On a 368sqm block in a quiet street, the home is close toa number of schools and is in the Shenton College catchmentarea. ■

ANNA Macoboy has turned herobsession with collecting unique andgorgeous bits and pieces into a successfulbusiness venture.
Rather than just keeping her fabulousfinds to herself, Anna has opened MrSparrow, a petite shop in Bagot Road,Subiaco, full of refreshingly different gifts.
After spending the last couple of yearstravelling, Anna took the plunge andopened Mr Sparrow in June this year.
“I’ve always collected bits and piecesand I felt like there wasn’t really a shop inPerth like this one,” she said.
She has filled the small space withdelightful and surprising objects, with manyof the ranges exclusive to Mr Sparrow andunlike anything you will find anywhere else.
“I look for the unique and the special,and I also like sourcing goods that are localand environmentally friendly,” said Anna.
Examples of this arethe beautiful naturalcotton picnic and cotblankets fromMelbourne labelAmelie’s Room, theorganic beeswaxcandles that arehandmade and handpainted in Australia,and Perch!, a range ofsleek, multifunctionalmugs and bowlsdesigned in Brooklyn,New York that areproduced using onlylow-impact materialsand processes.
Also exclusive to Mr Sparrow is theTouch! homewares range from Germany,which uses porcelain covered in an
incredibly soft velvetycoating that isdishwasher andmicrowave proof.
Scattered throughoutthe shop are antiquesand art deco pieces anda smattering of beautifuljewellery.
The shop itself isunique with Anna’shandwritten notes aboutindividual designers andlittle location mapsadding an informativeand personal touch.
“The thing I enjoy most is thevisual aspect,” said Anna, who originallystudied Film at Curtin University.
“I just love rearranging the shop eachtime new items come in.”■

We take an extremely hands-on approach to property management.
SUMMER is here at last,bringing with it one of the bestbenefits of the season – lots oftime spent with friends and familyin the great outdoors.
Our warm climate encourages thissocial space and we have all becomeaccustomed to the traditional patiofurniture comprised of a table and chairs inwhich to spend a balmy Saturday night or lazySunday afternoon.
However, there are also other outdoor furniture piecesthat can be selected to make the zone a little more relaxing.
Trilogy owner Sandra Formica said outdoor entertainingareas for homes in Perth were really extensions of theinterior of the residence.
“Therefore it needs to be just as comfortable but also beable to last in the rugged Australian climate,” she said.
“As well as comfort though, it is also essential to havedurability and be very low maintenance as people lead verybusy lives.”
Withall these
factors in mind,the Claremont furniture
showroom owner said therewere a variety of options to fit the criteria.
One of these was the Provence flexible outdoor modulesetting that could be arranged in several combinations to suitthe space.
“Designed in Europe, the settings are an ecolene syntheticrattan combined with an aluminium frame available in black,white and mochaccino,” Ms Formica said.
“Cushions made from specialty outdoor foam completethe settings and are covered with acrylic fabric in a range ofcolour choices that either brighten up the piece or add asleek sophistication.”
Ms Formica said this style of flexible module furniturebrought comfort, colour and versatility to an outdoor livingarea.
“It’s a classic design so it really does suit all ages and styles
of home, and it is completely maintenance free which meansour clients are able to entertain without any preparation orstress.”
The Provence settings have been part of Trilogy’s exclusivefurniture range for two years and are offered with a three-year warranty.
Other pieces on display in the showroom to enhance anyexterior environment include galvanised iron tables, chairsand benches.
There are also glassfibre-reinforced concrete tabletopsavailable in five colours.Location:250B Stirling Highway, Claremont.Contact: 9383 4712 ■
