The week that was - 3 August

Hello All,

Yet another week has flown by and with it has come a change to milder conditions here in Victoria and a positive outlook ahead of the traditional Spring selling season.

We’ve seen a strong uplift in activity and transactions across the Eastern seaboard, with some amazing new costal opportunities with unrealised potential listed in Queensland. New South Wales has also seen a breadth of new campaigns listed on the platform offering highly-flexible and profitable outcomes for the developer and investor demographic, whilst in Victoria a number of well-positioned assets offering enormous upside are receiving plenty of interest already.

As many of our users would no doubt be aware, some vendors opt to sell their development sites off-market rather than advertising through online channels.

JLL Alternative Real Estate Report
I highly advise reading through our article, and subsequent report, by JLL on Alternative Real Estate.

Not only will you find independent SWOT analyses on various alternative real estate sectors but you’ll also see that this movement of capital between asset classes is not just a flash in the pan trend - this is something JLL is predicting will take form well into the future.

Stamp Duty - but no one calls it that anymore
Now more formally known as Transfer Duty, stamp duty seems to be a particular cause of confusion and stress for a majority of property purchasers.

In this article we dive down into the clutter and provide you with the tools and links to better understand how much tax you are required to pay, how much concession or exemption you may be entitled to and when you are required to pay it - read more on this topic here. 

The Hotel Space - ‘Gus Moors Interview’
You’ll also find our podcast episode where TC and Rob sat down with Gus Moors, Director of Hotels at Colliers International.

Gus provided a truly insightful discussion regarding the hotel sector in Australia, the factors that are driving its appeal and demand at the moment, and the importance of conducting detailed analysis when selecting suitable operators.

So the week that is, has become the week that was - bring on the week that will be.

Wishing you an enjoyable weekend ahead, 

All the best,
Nick Materia, Founder, Development Ready
