Why spend on real estate marketing?
When selling your Everton Park home there are many decisions to make – when’s the best time to sell; do you commit to a new home before selling yours; how much do you list your property for; which agent do you choose; and so on. Often sellers will rely on the expert opinion of their agent to help decide some key factors, but one thing we find sellers often overlook is the importance of spending significant money on their property’s marketing strategy. Most sellers tend to believe that a basic marketing package of internet advertising,...
read moreWhat a time to invest in Everton Park!
With interest rates hitting record lows this month, down to just 2.75%, it’s no wonder buyers are out in force bringing Queensland real estate sales figures up significantly from the same time last year. We’ve reported several times recently about the advantages of buying in the present market conditions; however, we thought it might be worthwhile to share another poignant fact about the Everton Park real estate market.

read moreHow does your budget stack up?
Whether you’re saving for a house deposit, rental bond or holiday, most of us don’t just have the spare cash laying around. Instead we need to commit to a plan. The government’s budget reveal last night has inspired us to consider our own personal finances and the direction we’re heading with our bank balances and savings (or lack of). Building up a reserve of savings can prove to be an incredibly tricky juggling act for most. It seems that the more money we make, the more expenses we find to spend it on. As soon as a pay rise...

read moreInterest rate cuts reach a new record low
There was talk at the end of last year that we may see further interest rate cuts in 2013, but many Everton Park home owners wondered if the rumours were too good to be true… well it turns out, they weren’t! Yesterday the RBA had their monthly meeting, and slashed a further 0.25 per cent from the already record low cash rate, while hinting at possible further cuts to come. This brings the cash rate to just 2.75 per cent. When the rates dropped to 3 per cent it took most of the major banks several days to weigh up their next move, and...

Whether you’ve bought or rented real estate in Everton Park, the chances are you’ve chosen that home for a reason.

And we all know, as much as we might like to pack lightly at each move, we commonly accumulate more and more possessions every year. It’s probably safe to say, once you’ve gone...
