Two people have been arrested after a Volkswagen failed to stop for police in the northern suburbs last night. At 8.15pm on Friday 11 April patrols spotted a Volkswagen sedan on Haydown Road, Elizabeth East and attempted to stop the vehicle however the driver sped off. Patrols called in the assistance of PolAir who tracked the vehicle as it travelled through Elizabeth East. The vehicle was seen to travel on the wrong side of the road on Midway Road and through a red light at the intersection of Main North Road and Black Top Road. Patrols successfully spiked the vehicle's tyres on Stanford Road, Salisbury Heights. The car turned into St Albans Drive, Salisbury Heights, and the male passenger was seen to run from the vehicle. The car continued for a short distance onto Featherstone Place, where the female driver abandoned the car and ran off. The driver was found a short time later, hiding in the rear yard of a Stanford Road address. A 22-year-old Elizabeth Grove woman was arrested and charged with drive dangerously to escape police pursuit, drive unlicensed, drive unregistered, trespass and unlawfully on premises. She was bailed to appear in the Elizabeth Magistrates Court on 12 May. Her passenger, a 35-year-old Renown Park man, was arrested and charged with breach of bail and outstanding warrants. He was refused police bail and will appear in court on Monday.

you’re looking for Copyright © 2025 KM Business Information Australia Pty Ltd The Hotspotting Top 5 City Cheapies With Prospects report has revealed the areas that are most likely to offer the best strategic property buying and investing potential over the next six months In selecting the “top five city cheapies with prospects” the report considered the combined power of the following property metrics: Hotspotting director Terry Ryder (pictured above) said affordability drove the decision-making of property consumers now more than ever “It’s not a coincidence that the capital cities that have remained busy and competitive recently are the cheapest ones – Perth the cities where markets dropped the most through this period were the most expensive ones – Sydney said regional Australia had generally performed better than capital cities due to their more affordable options for all kinds of buyers “With technology allowing more people to work remotely expensive cities and moved to smaller cities and to regional areas,” Graham said “This has been happening for the past decade and has become more visible in the past three years or so.” “Now, following massive price growth in 2020 and 2021 in particular some of these regional locations – such as Byron Bay the Mornington Peninsula and the Southern Highlands – have become so expensive that they’re no longer attracting large numbers of new residents.” Ryder said investors increasingly wanted to target locations where they could buy relatively cheaply “The key objective is to find cheaper areas that offer above-average rental yields but also have the credentials for good capital growth,” Ryder said “The good news is that is achievable There’s a myth among many real estate consumers that you can have good capital growth You can have the best of both worlds by choosing your locations intelligently.” what are Hotspotting’s top five city cheapies with prospects Affordability is a key element of Adelaide’s appeal – and its City of Playford has attracted demand as the city’s cheapest precinct Not only has Playford ranked as one of the consistent performers for strong annual growth in sales values but it had also maintained solid sales levels with numerous suburbs classified as consistency markets every suburb in the Playford LGA posted double-digit growth in their median house prices “with eight suburbs each recording more than 100 house sales – including three with well over 200 transactions,” he said Hillbank now has the highest median house price in the Playford LGA ($535,000) which all posted 195 or more sales in the year to March saw median house price growth of 15% to 23% although median house prices in these suburbs remained affordable in the $400,000 to $450,000 range “Despite extensive development of new homes in the municipality with all postcodes well below 1%,” Ryder said “The four postcodes covering the LGA currently have vacancy rates ranging from 0.3% to 0.6% rents are strong and above average yields are a big attraction for investors in the Playford LGA with the Elizabeth suburbs in particular appealing to investors for their yields.” Graham said the upsurge in Perth’s property market had continued in 2023 – and was at its strongest since the resources investment boom that ended in 2013 experienced a busy market coupled with strong buyer demand since the start of the pandemic period due to its “cluster of affordable suburbs with excellent amenities six of the nine suburbs analysed were classified as rising markets and two as consistency markets Suburbs that posted growing demand included Cannington (median house price $435,000) as well as Lynwood ($460,000) and Parkwood ($555,000) “The City of Canning is notable for the affordability of most of its suburbs,” Graham said “Many of these locations have median house prices in the $400,000s and $500,000s “Most of the City of Canning suburbs recorded moderate to strong growth in their median house prices in 2022.” and Queens Park each recorded more than 100 annual house sales and have median house prices ranging from $435,000 to $510,000 Bentley’s median price rose 9% in 2022 and Queens Park lifted 7% “The long-term capital growth rates remain modest with the best averaging 4% to 5% per year over the past decade,” Graham said.  “With the growth currently being experienced in this precinct it’s likely these long-term rates will improve in the near future especially with vacancy rates also remaining very low.”  “Of the six postcodes in the City of Canning with Lynwood and Parkwood sitting at just 0.1% and the Welshpool postcode at zero.” In terms of sales activity and price performance Adelaide has been one of the nation’s top markets throughout the pandemic period “The city’s strong performance has been underpinned by a state economy which has been rising up the national rankings in recent years,” he said “Salisbury East has been identified as one of the Top 10 suburbs in Adelaide with buyer demand more than doubling in the past 18 months and house prices in the $400,000 range.” “The suburb also has multiple schools the Cobbler Creek Recreation Park and proximity to employment zones and major retail and commercial nodes.” 70% of Greater Adelaide’s suburbs recorded a value rise with 87% of Adelaide suburbs recording a value rise the top 20 suburbs for value growth in metropolitan houses over the year were all located in Adelaide’s northern suburbs with Davoren Park seeing the strongest growth of 20.9%,” he said “The top-five unit suburbs were also in Adelaide’s north with Salisbury at the top – up 32.%.”  Hotspotting’s latest Price Predictor Index showed that eight suburbs in the Salisbury LGA were classified as rising markets based on rising sales activity: Brahma Lodge has translated to continued double-digit price growth across the precinct with Elizabeth Park seeing the greatest gains with its median house price rising 28% in the year to February to $340,000  Salisbury North followed closely with a 26% growth in its median house price to $390,000 while all other suburbs posted annual growth of 20% or more except Salisbury Downs (16%) and Salisbury East (18%) coupled with the precinct’s sustained performance has led to some excellent long-term growth rates with the majority of suburbs recording 9% to 10% growth per year for the last decade,” Ryder said “Vacancy rates in the Salisbury LGA have also been consistently low for the past three years making them among the tightest in the country This is a common trend across Northern Adelaide which has an overall vacancy rate of just 0.3%.” The City of Armadale in Perth is now the nation’s strongest property market according to the Autumn 2023 edition of The Price Predictor Index (PPI) with two-thirds of its suburbs maintaining high levels of sales activity in defiance of nationwide downturn pressures “In a trend being experienced in other major markets across the nation many of Perth’s stand-out municipalities are at the affordable end of the market,” Graham said which has three key strengths – affordability Several suburbs in the Armadale LGA have median house prices in the $300,000 to $400,000 range “Of the 10 City of Armadale suburbs in the PPI report's analysis seven were rising or consistency markets,” Graham said “This included Camillo with a median house price of $320,000 and the suburb of Armadale where quarterly sales levels are now double the levels of 2021.” Kelmscott ($370,000) is now typically selling 100 homes per quarter is currently the most affordable suburb and the most popular with buyers recording 428 house sales in the past year also have median house prices in the $300,000s with Kelmscott and Seville Grove both selling more than 250 houses in the past year “Most of the City of Armadale's remaining suburbs have median house prices in the $400,000s and $500,000s,” Graham said “Investors seeking strong returns can find rental yields above 6% in several of the City of Armadale suburbs The two key postcodes in the Armadale LGA had vacancies above 5% in 2017 but they have been trending sharply downwards since then which has put upward pressure on rents and yields.” Inala is well placed to be a notable real estate performer thanks to its affordability and location within 20km of Brisbane’s CBD along with its strong transport links and numerous amenities and services “The precinct attracts consistent buyer demand for its affordability with houses in the $400,000 and $500,000 price range and its education “The precinct’s dwelling stock includes houses on large blocks suitable for renovation “This established suburban precinct is surrounded by new developments – with the broader Inala precinct experiencing a multibillion-dollar evolution of new suburbs including major master-planned communities services and job opportunities within striking distance of locals.” Inala’s housing affordability lures a lot of young families to the area as evidenced by the area’s high birth rate “Not only are Inala properties affordable but many of the suburb’s homes are three-bedroom cottages on good-sized blocks making them appealing to young families,” Ryder said “Coinciding with the rise in birth rates property prices have been steadily rising in recent years – after a temporary decline in 2018 which encouraged renters to become buyers and generally attracted first-home buyers.” Data from various sources suggested that first-time buyers are still purchasing and renovating homes confirming the opportunities that Inala and surrounding suburbs continue to offer “Sales activity is also rising in the area, with CoreLogic data showing a sharp increase in sales numbers since mid-2020,” Ryder said “Inala’s median house price is now $560,000 based on 119 sales in the year to March 2023 and following an annual 19 per cent uplift.” Inala also has above-average yields for investors given it traditionally has low rental vacancy rates has never been higher than 2.8% at any time in the past two decades – and has been below two per cent since mid-2020,” Ryder said “The postcode’s vacancy rate is now just 0.4% which is putting strong upward pressure on residential rents in the Inala precinct.” Use the comment section below to tell us how you felt about this.  Looking to get into the market without

ONCE considered to be well ahead of its time and constructed for research purposes a Salisbury Heights home has been a case of love at first sight for its current owner It was built in 1958 as one of three sustainable housing projects by The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation and the Weapons Research Establishment. Vendor Dominic Barbaro purchased the property at 5 Cooinda Court only seven years later after failing to get the “unique home” out of his mind “You need to understand that up until that point I had always lived to the south of Adelaide and there was no way I was ever going to move north “So I only went there to have a look at the heated pool because I was looking to build something similar at my home in Beaumont “But as soon as I walked in and had a look around I just thought it was the most beautiful place and I just fell in love with it instantly “So subsequently I went back home to get my wife so she could have a look and made an offer to the owner Mr Barbaro is selling his treasured home which will go to auction on Saturday Mr Barbaro says he was only moving half a mile down the road into retirement living “Ideally I would love for a family to move in “The kids always loved kicking the footy around and the old tennis court is also still there “There’s just so much room to move and it almost feels like you’re in the country trees and grass on one side and when I shift my head I can see the ocean.” Selling agent Deidre Wood says the property is undoubtedly special and one of just three homes — all on large blocks — on the street “I would also go as far as to say it’s one of the first homes in the area as there weren’t too many around in the area back then.” Have your own Grand Designs moment Slice of Kangaroo Island history up for grabs Auction bargain goes for less than $100,000 While Sustainable design has come a long way since the 50s Ms Wood says the property is still very much relevant today a north-facing open-plan living space with floor-to-ceiling windows a concrete swimming pool and a grassed tennis court “When I did the initial appraisal and walked into the large living room I actually thought the heaters were on but they weren’t It was all the glass heating the room,” Ms Woods says the house is quite cool because of the shutters “So because it’s an architecturally built home The home is being sold without a price guide GULFVIEW HEIGHTS offers a blend of old and new housing that’s found a niche among a growing pool of facilities Retired painter Bill Verco is selling the three-bedroom house he built 28 years ago in Mews Court but is not moving far “I’m selling as part of a fresh start with a new partner after my wife passed away about 12 years ago,’’ he says “My neighbours are like my extended family Gulfview Heights is on the market with Ouwens Casserly and has a price guide of $435,000 to $475,000 The median house price has grown by nearly 16 per cent in the past three years After growing up in the northern suburbs and then living at Greenock Mr Verco cast his eye on Gulfview Heights for the future and his “ wind-down’’ years we were getting older and thinking of the future and the location had nearby buses to Tea Tree Plaza and the city,” he says “It was only about 3-4km from Parabanks Shopping Centre Para Hills Shopping Centre and to the Grove Village shopping complex “We’ve got lovely trees and birdlife in the area too “Many people have chosen to stay and upgrade their homes in the area.” Gulfview Heights is on the market with Harcourts Sergeant and has a price guide of $385,000 to $410,000 Mr Verco says having Cobbler Creek Recreation Park nearby with mountain bike trails and many scenic walking trails is a bonus “I usually go to the Para Hills Shopping Centre to get The Advertiser The Bridgeway and Lodge Hotels that offer good value Agent Clinton Barker of Harcourts Sargeant says Gulfview Heights flies under the radar at times with buyers “It’s because many buyers don’t realise there are older parts that are affordable for first homebuyers “It’s also a very convenient place to live with public transport often within walking distance on main roads.’’ Gulfview Heights is a compact suburb about 16km north of Adelaide’s CBD near Salisbury East A descriptive name originally given to two northern subdivisions (between Gawler and the Barossa Valley) says historian Geoffrey H But it was later applied to this new suburb (renamed in 2001) after having been carved out from parts of Salisbury East
