‘P-plate’ homebuyers have scored a bargain buy priced $200,000 less than the suburb median due to an anomaly the homebuyers on Monday settled on a three-bedroom house in popular Wynnum West where the median house price is $876,500 Prices of houses in Wynnum West jumped 11.5 per cent in the last three months alone according to PropTrack Govt buys 85 beach cabins for social housing 201 social homes with front row seats for Olympics The bargain hunters were drawn to this listing: “If I were a car I would have P-plates mismatched panels and be covered in ‘Kmart Kisses’ but I am tidy functional and do represent budget-buying at its absolute best” Real estate agent Peter Stone of LJ Hooker Property Centre said the house in question was a “modest lowset home and the answer to those struggling to get into this market before it truly gets beyond reach” it is 12sq m smaller than it had been for the previous owners – which was part of the reason they were able to buy the home for $660,000 Mr Stone said the mid-$600,000ish price range was very rare across Brisbane now “I have nothing else at that price range on the horizon,” he said The median house price in Wynnum West is $876,500 This three bedroom house in Wynnum West has sold for $660,000 more than $200,000 below the suburb’s median house price “It was priced like this due to the size and modest nature of the dwelling the fact that council is in the process of resuming some of the land for road widening around the railway station and the potential for flooding at the rear of the block.” While all three factors may have struck fear into the hearts of some buyers the new owners are already preparing to go into full renovation mode after settling the deal Monday August 5 Experts say looking for such quirks around properties could be a way in for those priced out of suburbs they’re keen to get into – though they would also need to do their homework to ensure they were fully comfortable with the situation The council expects to begin road widening in the street to ease travel to the train station down the road The house was listed as “renovate or detonate” but is on a “well-proportioned block “It is hard to find anything that offers so much for so little,” was how Mr Stone described it “Whether you are looking for your first home FOLLOW SOPHIE FOSTER third parties have written and supplied the content and we are not responsible for it completeness or reliability of the information nor do we accept any liability or responsibility arising in any way from omissions or errors contained in the content We do not recommend sponsored lenders or loan products and we cannot introduce you to sponsored lenders We strongly recommend that you obtain independent advice before you act on the content realestate.com.au is owned and operated by ASX-listed REA Group Ltd (REA:ASX) © REA Group Ltd.

affordable housing PROPERTY bargain hunters have as little as two years to buy in to Wynnum-Manly before its growing popularity is reflected in increased property prices A seven cinema complex and Wynnum’s tallest residential development are part of the bayside region’s awakening 1200 units are proposed for Wynnum Central according to local councillor Peter Cumming bringing up to 2500 residents into the heart of Wynnum While the budget suburb of Wynnum West has been named one of 29 Queensland suburbs to watch in 2019 by the Price Predictor Index which tracks strong sales demand as a precursor to increased prices Bay breezes and a relaxed lifestyle await people moving in to the Wynnum-Manly area The view from 140 Ernest Street at Manly says it all Ray White Wynnum-Manly Principal Scott Kelleher said Wynnum’s image as a sleepy seaside village will change and investors have about two years to buy into the area before new developments push property prices higher Place Manly director Marc Sorrentino said people from Bulimba and Paddington are selling their multimillion-dollar inner city properties to buy into Brisbane’s bayside lifestyle on larger blocks of land for less money MANLY: The top selling property in Manly last year was 140 Ernest St on 896sq m which sold for $2.5m in February “They are downsizing the mortgage but not the lifestyle,” Mr Sorrentino said but now more people are finding out about it “I think in the future Manly will leapfrog suburbs like Bulimba and Ascot and people will be saying Wynnum sold for the record price of $1,757,500 in September hold forever and you’ll have a very good retirement,” Mr Lordi said There is more than a $200,000 difference in median house prices between the most affluent bayside suburb of Manly ($762,500) and the affordable Wynnum West ($545,000) WYNNUM WEST: The top selling house in Wynnum West last year was 12 Yering Place which sold for $710,000 in April Mr Kelleher said Wynnum’s growing reputation as a destination suburb is pushing demand for affordable and prestige properties “We are seeing more people from the inner city suburbs of Hamilton Bulimba and Ascot coming into the top end properties and apartments,” Mr Kelleher said Mr Kelleher said the region needed good leadership to ensure that its unique charm and sense of community doesn’t get lost as the area grows Feedback from property agents identified the need for further upgrades to Wynnum Rd and Bay Tce to support future growth and ease congestion Bay Terrace is part of the Wynnum central business district Wynnum-Manly Ward Councillor Peter Cumming said if all the proposed developments for Wynnum Central go ahead under the Neighbourhood Plan an extra 1200 units in the central business district will be built including Wynnum’s tallest apartment block at eight-storeys The Enclave Apartments on Bay Terrace are expected to be finished before the end of the year “That’s 2000-2500 extra people in that central area and that would give shops a boost and with the new cinema complex that will make existing shops more profitable and new shops more viable,” Mr Cumming said He said there is Wynnum Rd work around East Brisbane and Norman Park and on Manly Rd at the intersection of Green Camp Rd and Tilley Rd to help ease congestion however he said his aim is to see more people using public transport Wynnum Rd corridor upgrades around East Brisbane and Norman Park while dropping in the more affluent suburbs of Manly and Lota Mr Sorrentino said the 52 houses sold in Manly in 2018 indicated how tightly held the suburb was and people don’t really want to move,” he said Mr Cumming said available land for new developments is diminishing “Wynnum West has been an area where there’s been most of the development over the last 20 years where acreage properties have been subdivided,” he said “The area where most development is now is Wynnum Central with new unit blocks “Between 150-200 have been built in the last two to three years.” the world’s 27th most livable city and the capital of the Sunshine state Brisbane’s housing market was the country’s strongest performer in 2022, with a 32% growth in median house prices,

gentrification it needs apartments and that need for change has been acknowledged in the last City Plan with the Wynnum central area being rezoned to five and eight-storeys,” Ms Cave said Ms Cave has been heavily involved in the construction and development industry for nearly 15 years spending three of those in the United Kingdom working for a small developer converting homes into flats “At the end of the day my passion has always been developments I still enjoy construction but development is more my passion,” she said Ms Cave’s husband Nick is the director of Niclin Group which has delivered the $6.5 million Highpoint project from conception through to completion The company is passionate about the quality of its product with Ms Cave saying they take on the caretaking rights for their developments to ensure they continue to look and function well into the future The couple are passionate about the bayside and having started the Wynnum Seafood Festival which has now grown from
