First home owners flocking to Ecco Ripley
First home buyers have purchased more than 50 percent of property in 2017 at Queensland's Ecco Ripley development by Sekisui House.
Some 56 percent of buyers so far are first home owners, 37 percent investors, six percent second-plus home buyers and three percent downsizers.
Scott Blaney, Ecco Ripley Sales Manager said they are seeing an increase in sales from first-home owners, due to the $20,000 state government grant.
"Overall, the Ecco Ripley community comprises 66 per cent owner occupiers with 33 percent of home owners from Ipswich and 40 percent from greater Brisbane," he said.
"11 percent hail from New South Wales, three per cent from Victoria, 3 percent from the Sunshine Coast and the remaining 3 percent from Western Australia.
“There is a constant stream of new faces and nationalities moving to Ecco Ripley, adding a great deal of diversity to this growing community.
“Beyond this, leisure areas and recreational spaces dot the wider community, offering neighbours every excuse to enjoy the social side of life and share genuine moments that extend beyond the fence line.
Bikeways and walking paths link residents to green parks, communal spaces and the highly anticipated $1.5 billion Ripley Town Centre.”
Ecco Ripley has more than 750 residents currently living in the community or in the process of building their home.
