Hi Clifton Views Purchasers,

Clifton Views is progressing quickly now with stage 1 due for completion in September 2008 and stage 2 due January 2009.

There is some great stuff happening in Cairns as a copy of an article from the Sunday Mail below explains.

When researching an area in which to invest, the fundamentals that support its long term capacity to grow; and by grow I mean double in value every 7 – 10 years at least, is vital when making a well informed low risk investment decision.

Population growth is one of those factors that underlie and sustain an area’s price growth potential. Supply and demand will always be the major determining factor for price movement. So what we want to see is a place people want to live and are moving in droves creating a problem for councils and governments! New planning needs to take place, infrastructure spending is required and managing the growth in relation to urban development, transport, environment etc. is critical.

This is the case for Cairns!

An article released in the Sunday Mail, 18 May 2008, speaks of State Government plans to accommodate up to a 70% of the projected 100,000 new residents moving to North Queensland in the next 20 years, in Cairns.

This huge growth would be a 46.7% increase over the current population of approximately 150,000 people. That’s an extra 3,500 people per year moving into the city.

Following is the article from the Sunday Mail. Below that is your Clifton Views Construction Update and photos.

The Fundamentals That Support Long Term Capital Growth

Finding the right property with all the fundamentals that make it a ‘good investment’ like location, infrastructure, investment and planning, population growth, strength of demand is a time consuming process and one that requires constant research.

That’s what we do! Because what we research and find we also buy! If we wouldn’t buy it, we wouldn’t sell it. We not only want to educate you on how to invest and where to invest but ourselves as well.

And we have some exciting projects coming up in areas that we have been researching:

CABOOLTURE: Two bedroom, 2 bathroom units 800mts from the railway station and the centre of Caboolture, $294k to $334k – some with views over the river – anticipated completion July 2008. Please register my interest to receive your Property Report; once available!

KINGAROY: Two bedroom units in small complex in Kingaroy – $235K – complete and ready to settle. Please register my interest to receive your Property Report; once available!

IPSWICH: Quality, hi-tech, designer one, two and three bedroom apartments, 2 minutes walk from Ipswich City Mall with pool, gym, spa and theatrette – from $360k – almost complete. Please register my interest to receive your Property Report; once available!

We will send out details of these projects once we have completed our research.

Hi Catalina Purchasers,

Well it’s been an exciting year @ mrd this year as we have seen many clients begin on their journey to wealth through property or add to their portfolio another “windmill” ready and in place for when the wind blows. For those of us that have staked our claim on the Gold Coast – the fastest growing city in Australia, the winds have already begun to blow.

There is a staggering $66 billion of new development happening on the Gold Coast at the moment with $1.3 billion happening in Coomera. PRD spokeswoman Lynda Campbell has said the Gold Coast needs about 133 new dwellings per week to satisfy the demand created by the massive population boom. “That number is expected to be sustained each year in line with the Coast’s forecast population boom, however land supply on the Coast’s seaside villages is rapidly drying up” she said “the future lies in finding land in the Coast’s outer reaches or through the creation of medium and high density building’s on the coastal strip. The areas that will benefit in the future are those with available pockets of land and that is the northern corridor of the Gold Coast, such as Coomera where we are already seeing a population boom,”

2008 is set to be another exciting year in the property market, so we are looking forward to seeing the reality of “ROYE” begin to take shape in yours and our lives. (Nick and I have purchased in Cairns and have set some windmills in place in various other locations)

Catalina Park is now in the titles office awaiting registration; which could happen as early as today. Please note that you could be asked to settle as early as 14 days after registration of titles, regardless of public holidays, solicitors’ offices being closed and so on. We are not saying that this will happen… but it is imperative that you speak with your broker/lender and ask that they are on top of mortgage documentation preparation etc. Unfortunately, even if settlement is held up because your lender was not ready to effect the settlement, under the terms of the contract you can still be charged penalty interest.

In a perfect world, titles will issue on the 7th January, settlements on the 21st (great time for tenants!) and the banks, solicitors and so on will all be on time and ready. Please be prepared for something happening sooner, however.

We and all the team @ mrd wish you a wonderful Christmas full of family, laughter and fun times and a very prosperous new year.

Hello Clifton Waters Purchasers,

Well it’s been an exciting year @ mrd this year as we have seen many clients begin on their journey to wealth through property or add to their portfolio another “windmill” ready and in place for when the wind blows. For those of us that have staked our claim in Cairns, the winds have already begun to blow. This year has seen the median average growth for units and townhouses in Cairns increase by 16%, and as a result, prices for purchasing Clifton Views (across the road from Clifton Waters) were lifted by $20,000 in October… and the first bricks had only just hit the ground!
