THE NOVAK AGENCY FINALISTS FOR NATIONAL REAL ESTATE AWARDS

Well we were kind of chuffed that we made it this far!

As first timers entering into the REIA (Real Estate Industry of Australia) National Awards for Excellence, we were naturally feeling a little special making it through to the national finals for the Communications Awards.

Having taken out the state award, we were grinning from ear to ear when we were asked to submit for the national awards!

We didn’t take out the award this year however look out for 2010! We must say though we felt pretty pleased with ourselves making it as far as we did!

Thank you REIA, we felt priviledged to be sitting amongst some of the best in the industry and what a fabulous night! See you next year.

SUPERSIZE ME! THERE’S NEVER BEEN A BETTER TIME TO UPSIZE YOUR PROPERTY…ESPECIALLY ON THE NORTHERN BEACHES

SUPER SIZE!!!…..Famous words for those of us who are fortunate enough to dine at McDonalds. These words were also made famous by independant film maker Morgan Spurlock who made millions of dollars with his film “Supersize me” where he limits himself to only eating McDonalds over a 30 day period and had to supersize his meal each and every time he was asked.

For those that have had the pleasure of dining at McDonalds, we know that there is great value in supersizing or upsizing our meal(apart from the extra kg’s we add to our waistlines). Generally we’ll only have to part with a dollar or so for the pleasure!

Surprisingly enough this exercise rings true right here, right now with the Sydney property market.

As crazy as it sounds now has never been a better time to supersize your home especially on the Northern Beaches. Let’s look at it this way. The lower end of the property market, say up to the $500 000 mark is on the move right. For those of you sitting on property in this price bracket, you’re laughing. Lower end home owners…..it’s a great time for you to sell up, cash up and supersize your home especially for those of you living in Dee Why, Collaroy, Freshwater and the surrounding suburbs. Upgrading from the lower price bracket to the medium price bracket is very achievable right now as the middle price bracket has remained stagnant and therefore the jump from say a $500 000 unit to a $750 000 townhouse is now VERY feasible.

Surprisingly the same tune rings true for those supersizing your homes from the middle range price bracket to the high end range of living. Luxury housing in Sydney has actually dropped over the past six months making it therefore much more attainable for the medium level home owners to upgrade their homes with a relatively small (if any) jump in mortgage repayments.

Another fabulous reason to supersize your home right now is to of course to take full advantage of the 60 year all time low interest rates now sitting around 5%.

The market will certainly not stay this way forever. Now is an opportune time to take advantage of a fantastic market and utilise the opportunity to supersize your standard of living today and live in that home you always dreamed of.

We have your home.

Hold that home loan…UNEMPLOYED gets a helping hand from the big BANKS!

The “big four” (that’s Novak slang for the big four banks have come to arrangement to throw a lifeline to those struggling to pay their mortgages. These unprecedented move is aimed at preventing those struggling families from losing their homes. Commonwealth, NAB, Westpac and ANZ banks will actually place a freeze on mortgage payments in certain cases undergoing financial hardships. The government has recognised that the greatest fear for those who have or will loose their jobs is how they will pay the mortgage. This being said Mr Rudd set out to ask the Treasurer some time ago to negotiate an “assistance package” with the big four banks. Mr Rudd says the move will provide for a better handling of borrowers in hardship through job loss. He says banks will postpone mortgage payments for up to 12 months, with interest to be capitalised into the loan. The banks are also considering extending the period of mortgage contracts and reducing payment amounts.

LITTLE SYDNEY REAL ESTATE PICK???

“To the northern beaches, there may be good opportunities in standard residential located in Frenchs Forest. There is a dominance of 1960s housing which could have good potential for renovation and profit. Frenchs Forest has good road infrastructure leading to and from the city, and is close to the beach.Buying,selling or renting on the northern beaches, call us….we never sleep
