Unit Sales

<html><body>
Mackay units have been on a roller coaster ride over the past five years with a large number of smaller duplex, triplex and quadpruplex units competing with large scale unit complexes, according to Herron Todd White.
Herron Todd White's September Month in Review noted during the planning and construction phases, the market in Mackay turned quite sharply and quickly on the back of the downturn in the resource industry.
"Standard residential vacancies some two to three years ago were below 1%, and now hover just over the 9% mark. Rental values have reduced significantly on the back of this reduced demand and fallen in some instances up to 40% from previous highs," the review mentioned.
"In the past 18 months, there are another five highrise towers recently completed or nearing completion within the CBD or fringe locations: Rivermarque; Riviera Mackay; Carlyle Apartments; Pacific Sands; and Gateway Apartments. Rivermarque is a new eight level residential unit tower located within the fringe of Mackay CBD.
"Most of the new completed units in the CBD were purchased off the plan in 2012 prior to the fall in the Mackay market. It will be interesting to see when resales occur the level of demand and prices that can be achieved in the current market."

The unit market around the Sunshine Coast is patchy, according to Herron Todd White, who believe the market peaked early 2008 and unit sales activity halved to their lowest point in 2012.
Herron Todd White's September Month in Review said sellers became more accepting of the repriced unit market with an increase in volumes in 2014 and sales volumes and median prices are on track to beating that in 2015.
"Unlike houses, the unit values have increased but far more slowly with a median unit price in 2014 of $352,000," the report noted.
"In 2015 we are on track for sales volumes and median prices to better 2014. Most of the activity is below $500,000 which accounts for 77% of the sales. 
"The median unit price reached around $370,000 in 2008 and the volume of sales reaching 4,465 for 2007 and 3,337 for 2008. After this, sales halved to their lowest point in 2012 at 2,290 sales and a median unit price low of $345,000."

Last month a new $84 million, 140 apartment project in the Melbourne inner suburb of Richmond was launched simultaneously in Beijing, Shanghai, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia.
The strategy for the pre-launch was to create ‘the excitement of auction day’ in each location, and thus stimulate maximum buyer demand and competition for apartments. 
International property marketers Jalin Realty was the sales agency behind the move, using the sales platform <a href="https://investorist.com/" target="_blank">Investorist.com</a>.
Buyers and agents were invited to live launch events in each city, hosted by Jalin staff. 
The Investorist website displayed all project information (photos, plans, brochures, pricelists, reservations updates, videos, etc) on both large TV screens and computer monitors.  
A ‘live electronic sales board’ showed reservations immediately to the entire audience, so all sales were transparent with the country of origin shown.
The five simultaneous events resulted in reservations of approximately 30% of the stock, which within a few weeks were converted into contracted sales.

Canberra suburbs Woden and Weston lead the local market for strongest local results, according to Herron Todd White.
Herron Todd White's October Month in Review said the performance of units is subdued and outer suburbs are remain steady, its the inner regions that are shining.
"Ainslie has seen some huge results over the past three months, at a time when winter traditionally cools the Canberra market," it noted.
"Strong sales have seen some entry level properties selling in excess of $700,000. Smaller, boutique development sites through Downer and Dickson have also seen strong competition with a number of sites purchased for amalgamation or independent development.
"The Woden and Weston market was Canberra’s most heavily impacted region as a result of the Mr Fluffy buy-back scheme. It appears that a large number of Mr Fluffy home owners have now been absorbed into the market, as the market continues at a strong, yet more sustainable rate. Strong sales have particularly been noted through Curtin, Weston and Waramanga. Despite the new supply through the Molonglo Valley, the upward trend of prices in Woden and Weston looks to continue into the foreseeable future."
