Commercial CaloundraEdition 5 - 2012
The Year That Was...In a challenging local market Ray
White Commercial Caloundra emerged a clear winner, dominating sales and leasing transactions. The multi-million dollars worth of sales contracts were the direct result from the continued dedication, client service and hard yards put in by the entire team.
Working closely with property owners that were willing to meet the market and matching those properties to our extensive data base of active buyers was both exacting and rewarding.
Buyers wish they had a crystal ball to predict cycles as to when the property market bottoms out and also when to lock in interest rates before they begin their inevitable climb skyward.
No crystal ball, but there has been a
trend in the last quarter with a range of buyers entering the market place looking for opportunities. These same buyers, both owner operators and investors have monitored the market over a period of time and are now motivated to take action.
Why? - the general consensus is that if we are not at the bottom of the market we are not far off it. Commercial interest rates are at more affordable levels than they have been for years and self funded superannuants feel more secure with commercial property returns of 8-9% than investing in the share market or depositing cash in term deposits.
We are confident that this trend will continue throughout 2013.

Building HeightsTo protect the predominantly low rise character and amenity of the Sunshine Coast, the draft planning scheme has generally retained the maximum height requirements of buildings and structures across the region.
Protecting the EnvironmentBushland, beaches and waterways will be protected. The plan includes overlays that identify areas sensitive to the effects of development, and code provisions that protect these areas including significant vegetation and areas subject to flood or landslide.
Encouraging investment and employmentThe draft planning scheme identifies a network of centres and enterprise areas throughout the region, encouraging employment in industries such as retail, tourism, aviation, education and manufacturing. Key locations include Maroochydore, University of the Sunshine Coast, Sunshine Coast University Hospital, Sunshine Coast Airport and the Sunshine Coast Industry Park.
