Launceston

<html><body>
Hatherley House, one of Launceston's oldest properties, has been listed for sale following a conversion by its architect owners.
The 1870s Italianate home was bought for $1.91 million in 2011 by architect couple Jack and Rebecca Birrell from Birrelli art + design who converted the manor into a boutique art hotel.
It's been trading as Hatherley Birrell Collection, which has eight bedrooms.
It sits in 1,730 square metre gardens.
A mythical griffin's head dates from the family crest of the 1870s owner, Henry Dowling, and can be seen at the entry gate and also in a stained glass window in the grand hall.
Tasmania Sotheby's agents Gayle Walker and Jake McIntyre have the listing.

Launceston is continuing to record positive price movement, albeit at a more subdued rate than 2018, according to a recent Herron Todd White (HTW) residential report. 
"We would suggest it is unlikely double-digit growth will be recorded this year, however it may not be far under," the valuation firm said. 
A townhouse situated in the heart of Launceston City recently sold for $700,000 (pictured above).
As an exceptional example of early Launceston architecture, the circa 1840s townhouse at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-townhouse-tas-launceston-130604134" target="_blank">110 Cameron Street </a>comes with two living rooms, four bedrooms upstairs and north facing paved courtyard.
It was last sold at $455,000 in 2005.
"Interestingly, the activities of a Queensland based buying advocate firm acquiring residential property on behalf of SMSFs have resulted in a number of rentals being available," the report said.
"The vacancy rate has lifted a few points as a result and we are seeing a stabilisation of rental growth."

South Launceston faces big stock decrease in homes for sale

Launceston has an oversupply of industrial properties relative to demand, according to a recent Herron Todd White (HTW) report.
The property valuation firm says that Launceston has a steady rental vacancy trend along with a stable rental rate trend.
<a href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/images/2017/02/13/Screen%20Shot%202017-02-13%20at%2010.44.01%20am.jpg" target="_blank">Click to enlarge</a>

However Launceston’s industrial sales is declining despite the market rising, the firm says.
Launceston’s economic situation is flat with significant value difference between quality properties with national tenants and comparable properties with local tenants.
A 855 square metre industrial warehouse at <a href="https://www.realcommercial.com.au/property-industrial+warehouse-tas-launceston-502323710" target="_blank">6/16 - 18 Goodman Court</a>, Launceston (above) has been listed for sale.

Oversupply of industrial properties in Launceston: HTW

Launceston’s established residential suburb of Newstead is worth keeping an eye on this year, according to HTW’s February 2017 update.
It is located approximately three and a half kilometres from Launceston’s centre and the valuation firm says it is popular with families due to its proximity to the city and its facilities.
The median sale price based on recent sales in this suburb was $325,000.
“For a touch above the median price at $340,000, you could expect to purchase an older style, 140 square metre house on just under 600 square metres of land,” the report says.
The Devonport region is the largest population centre in Tasmania’s north-west and is located approximately 100 kilometres north-west of Launceston.
“The median price of recent sales was $227,000, for which you could expect to buy an older style, 150 square metre house in Devonport on a block just under 800 square metres,” says HTW.
A two bedroom house at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-tas-newstead-124669878" target="_blank">20 Olive Street</a>, Newstead (above) has been listed for between $299,000 to $329,000.
Similarly a three bedroom house at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-tas-newstead-124658554" target="_blank">3 Wentworth Street</a>, Newstead (below) has been listed for over $349,000.
