Property Finance Information, Our Best Park View Blocks and Much More.

July 11, 2017

North Harbour has been very pleased to welcome a large number of residents looking to downsize into a brand-new home for a variety of reasons, including downsizing from acreage or wanting a more manageable house now the kids have moved out.

Our North Harbour downsizers have chosen to buy with us for a variety of reasons from value to amenities, location and more.

Resident Paul Omerod said; “We thought that North Harbour offered great value for the size of the plot. Easy access to motorway making both the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane city within easy reach.

“We looked at already established properties and found that with each house we looked at, there were compromises to be made and nothing really ticked all the boxes of what we were really looking for. We found that with a new build we could have the house design and features that we wanted and was more cost effective than buying a ready established house and then having to make the changes to fit our needs.”

Carol Lister downsized from acreage and said, “My husband and I wanted to downsize and it is close to everything e.g. work, shops and friends. Aidan (North Harbour’s Sales Consultant) is fantastic and is happy to talk to you at any time. He is very patient and remembers who you are even if you haven’t seen him for months.”

Bud and Jillian Pratt wanted to downsize and stay local; “We have lived in Burpengary East (off Buckley Road) for almost 10 years and wanted to stay in this area. We decided to build a new home rather than purchase an established property as we couldn’t find anything suitable and to our liking. We needed to downsize from a large house on a half-acre block to something more manageable.”

Many of our downsizing residents also say a major reason for choosing North Harbour is our proposed 1000 acres of open space and parklands offering plenty of options for keeping active. Our first park, the Village Park, opened in October 2015 at the end of Moreton Bay Boulevard. It incorporates two areas of play equipment to suit both older children and pre-schoolers and has free Wi-Fi, shelters, drinking fountains (for people and pets) and BBQs on 6000m² of beautifully landscaped space.

Our second park is under construction and will open later this year. Named Reflections Park, it is located on the south-western side of North Harbour near the Raff Creek Environmental Corridor just south of Stages 15 and 16 (which are now selling). It will include play equipment aimed at young children (different to the Village Park to give residents and visitors lots of choice), BBQs and shelters. This Park will also offer exercise equipment in fitness stations which will provide our residents with the opportunity for free workouts in beautiful surroundings.

We have several blocks currently available to suit downsizers which offer an open view across the eco-corridor of North Harbour with easy access to walkways and cycle tracks. These blocks are also slightly higher to take advantage of the view. Our corner blocks have space to keep a caravan/ campervan or boat. An obvious advantage of building a new home when you’re looking to downsize is including what you need and ditching what you don’t! Don’t want stairs? Don’t have any! Don’t want a garden? Pave it over!

Pricing is as follows: Lot 1441 & 1442 – $260,250, Lot 1443 – $258,000, Lot 1446 – $277,750 and Lot 1447 – $282,000. If you’d like to learn more please contact us.

If you’re planning a move and don’t have a preferred mortgage advisor, our Sales Team can direct you towards Property Finance professionals who have assisted many of our residents.

Brendan Styles has provided Property Finance Solutions for North Harbour residents since we opened our Sales and Information Centre and has helped many clients downsize successfully.

As he says, there is no “one size fits all” approach to Property Finance, as everyone has different requirements.

“In my personal experience as an accountant and mortgage broker, locations such as North Harbour have proven to be a popular choice for downsizers, looking for more cost-effective options to relocate with cash left over to help through the retirement years.

“If you’re keen to downsize, obtaining the right property finance advice and financial advice from an experienced financial advisor, accountant, or mortgage broker on a regular basis is absolutely critical to ensure you are going to have more flexibility and lifestyle options moving forward.

“Talk with your friends for word of mouth recommendations and see which professional has the runs on the board before choosing someone to provide advice with your goals.”
