interesting comment about the infrastructure – I can’t think of amything that MAdora Bay has that Singleton doesn’t? In fact apart from the old tavern at Madora there is nothing else there… I agree infrastructure along that whole strip is poor.

no you wouldn’t be eligible for the 50% discount as it is no longer a capital asset – it is effectively just trading stock. Developing to sell is basically trading yes (tho you don’t have to develop to be a property trader of course). You may be able to slip one thru as a capital realisation perhaps – speak to an accountant re this.

I am from the school of thought that everything is for sale at a price. The fact that you don’t have to pay any tax on realising this asset and that you have no expectations of cap growth in the medium term makes it a no brainer

well you could write a book to answer these questions and still not cover it all. you will need to be a little more specific… are you developing to sell or to hold?

well I have to admit I was only half listening as it seemed obvious to me that for an estate of this size and quality that they couldnt expect you to run off gas bottles. Maybe he said it would be on by the time the houses are finished… perhaps drop him a line and clarify it. He definitely made a represntation to me regarding…[Read more]

was hunting around for land for our house and land packages today… seems the days of land in Perth for around the $130k mark are now just memories. The Meadow Springs average price now is $140k but they are all gone anyway. Seascapes has a release very soon but it will be a rush and titles are months and months away. Not sure on the Wellard…[Read more]

The sales guy (Rod) was telling me that it will be on by the time the blocks are ready for settlement. I don’t think anyone would be too impressed if it weren’t connected by the time the houses were built anyway.

So does Mirvac Fini who just sold out $150m worth of apartments in 4 days. Mandurah is taking off in leaps and bounds and it seems $1m+ properties are becoming quite common place.

you would think it would be a good situation to be in but when you are on the other side of the fence you soon see that it really isn’t. We have clients ready to go for house and land packages that we just can’t help as where can you now find affordable land that has any hope of a title being issued anytime soon? builders certainly won’t hold…[Read more]

I see Roy Weston group are forecasting next years median price to move up to $350k. makes sense given the lag effect from risiing building prices and ongoing strength in the local economy.
