Good land sales and home construction activity in the new and modern residential estates in the Southern Tablelands is pushing first home buyers to suburbs on the outskirts of Goulburn, according to HTW’s Month in Review: March 2017.  

The valuation firm says Belmore Estate, Merino Country Estate and the Mistful Park Estate are offering packages that are affordable options for first home buyers.

New land releases in these estates are trading for $220.000 to $250,000, with house and land packages ranging from $500.000 to $550,000, HTW says.

“Likewise some of the villages between Sutton Forest and Goulburn, such as Marulan, have seen an uptick in first home owner activity, with new land releases being quickly absorbed by the market in the $160,000 to $190,000 range for 1,000 square metre blocks,” the report states.

“Part of the attraction here aside from lower entry price is ease of access to the freeway.”

A three bedroom house at 13 Loseby Avenue, Marulan (above) has been listed with a price guide of $425,000.

Similarly a four bedroom house at 30 Eliza Power Drive, Marulan (below) has been listed for $499,000.
