Victoria leads the charge in the construction

New figures reveal Victoria leads the charge in the construction of new dwellings, even luring builders from NSW.

Victoria is the only bright light in an otherwise ailing residential construction industry, accounting for more than twice the private housing starts of any other state.

The latest dwelling start figures show New South Wales had the second-worst March quarter in the 40 years records have been kept. Work started on just 3672 private houses in NSW, fewer than half the 8843 in Victoria and also fewer than Queensland and Western Australia.

Victoria was an exception, and developers were moving from NSW to Victoria as a result.

Winter is here

Welcome to Winter from all at the Torquay office of Great Ocean Road Real Estate. If you have been in Torquay / Jan Juc lately you would have enjoyed some of the most glorious Autumn weather and if you are wondering if this is usual, we are pleased to report that every season here has something to offer for visitors and residents alike – that is why our real estate is so well sought!

May sales volume was again excellent and whilst we welcome the hold on interest rates announced on Tuesday, we have not seen any change in confidence from any sector of the market across all price ranges in any recent months.

As with last winter we expect sales activity to continue despite the chill factor as permanent resident seekers in particular will purchase in accordance with their requirements regardless of the weather and savvy holiday investors come down to check out properties in conditions that may not be quite as ‘beachy’ during the wetter times!

We have some top new real estate listings for you to check out at present and yes, we are still open 7 days a week to ensure the very best in coverage and commitment for all our clients ……..even if it is a little harder to get out from under the doona at 6.30am on a weekend to get the open signs out!! 10 open for inspections this weekend with 5 of these new listings (23 Springbank Circuit is great value in particular).

Open houses this weekend.

Saturday 5th June
11:00am – 11:30am 3 Port Phillip Court, Torquay
