Appreciate What We Have

A pregnant pause has occurred in our market whilst I was away for a short stay in Ubud in Bali.  What a wonderful part of the world, if you ever have the opportunity to visit it is well worth it!

The temperatures in Bali are very similar to Queensland, and the Balinese have mastered the tropical garden.  Creating this style of garden is perfect for our environment and with so many amazing colour varieties, will enable you to create a wonderful tranquil surround, just in time for summer.

Meanwhile, the media is stirring up the pot by playing the property market (in some areas it is) but locally, whilst our property market has certainly seen better times, it is within a whisker of improving.  With the warmer temps not far away it will be perfect timing if you want to consider selling your home.

Herd Em Up

Previous generations used the railway line to monitor when they could safely move the herd from one side of the farm to the other. Others used it as a guide for coming home from the Friday night drink at the pub.  It was the only point of reference that they had to get home, apart from the light in the window.  These days the railway is used domestically for herding people to and from destinations without so much of a thought about bygone generations.

The Sandgate rail line was one of the earliest built in Queensland. This was the place to be seen with the foreshore packed with weekenders.  Not much has changed over the years as today we see so many people enjoying what we have everyday.  How lucky are we!

Obviously everyone loves living here, but currently there are insufficient properties on the market for sale to cater for the amount of people wanting to buy. Buyers don’t like waiting for too long and if properties don’t trickle onto the market soon, then they will look elsewhere.

The short season (not much of a winter) is nearing completion; Spring will soon be here, with Jacaranda blooms everywhere. Spring has always been a perfect time to sell and if you need any assistance then don’t hesitate in calling us.
