Goldilocks Lives Here.

Mar 18th, 2009

I read a great quote from real estate legend John McGrath
recently. He said that asking a real estate agent whether it is a
good time to buy is like asking a barber if you need a hair cut.
The answer is always going to be yes! Of course if you look at
real estate over the longer term it has always been a good time
to buy because historically it has always risen in value and
been a very safe place to put your money. On a local level I am
always very positive about Port Macquarie property because
we have always been excellent value in comparison with other
similar locations in Australia that arguably offer less in the way
of infrastructure, services and quality of life.
This optimism for the future of Port Macquarie as a place to
invest and, much more importantly, as an absolutely brilliant
town to live is very well founded. We are not too big to be too
congested and yet not too small to be lacking in the important
services such as health care, transport and shopping. We are
close enough to the capital cities to have access to their
benefits but far enough away to retain our desirable country
feel. And let's face it - our weather has got the reputation of
being the best in Australia for very good reason. Overall you
could say that our beautiful town is just right!
From a real estate perspective Port Macquarie also offers the
ideal mix for property owners. Our prices are quite affordable
especially for first home buyers with the current government
assistance. We always seem to have an adequate supply of
properties to choose from and future growth looks assured with
excellent developments such as Sovereign Hills coming on
stream to cater for our future. When you add in the other
important infrastructure assets such as our outstanding water
supply scheme, our selection of schools and our health
services it is easy to believe that - yes - it is a great time to own
a piece of paradise.
