The way you start a new year can help determine the way it turns out.
So, let’s see what 2024 brings.
First auction listed in Noosa is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-car apartment 1/81 Noosa Pde, Noosa Heads.
Set for auction at 12pm, Saturday, 13 January, with Leigh Vercoe and Chris Kazal of Laguna Real Estate, it is a single-level, ground-floor apartment in a complex of seven with access to the waterways.
It offers two bedrooms, near-new ensuite, modern kitchen, spacious open-plan living and dining with good indoor/outdoor flow.
Fitted with split system air-conditioning and fans throughout, large windows provide lots of natural light and coastal breezes.
Outside, is a large, beautifully-maintained and secure courtyard, as well as single lock-up garage with auto door opener.
The small complex of seven features an in-ground swimming pool.
For Leigh Vercoe, the big bonus is there are no stairs to negotiate, which can be a big ask these days.
“It’s a ground-floor floor apartment and the location virtually opposite Quamby Place is perfect – half-way between Hastings St and Gympie Tce.
“It’s tidy, modern, well-maintained and has an exclusive-use courtyard.’’
Leigh has been familiar with the apartment over a number of years through the Laguna holiday bookings and said that as a rental it has always been popular with guests.
For the owner-occupier, the small complex brings with it lower body corporate fees.
There is a beach area to launch watercraft onto the canals and river.
LUXURY BY THE BEACH
An immaculately-maintained, four-bedroom house with pool at Peregian Beach is listed for auction on Saturday, 27 January.
Tracy Russell of Tom Offermann Real Estate takes the property at 25 Currawong Cres to the market at 1pm on the day.

“With a modern, contemporary aesthetic, there is a tropical feel to it.
“It features big garaging, open living, pool and lavish pavilion.’’
From the undercover walkway, banks of tinted glass doors reveal a breezy leisure space with bluestone floors that have underfloor heating in the downstairs living space and all bathrooms.
Upstairs, there are polished blackbutt floors, multiple high-ceilinged entertaining spaces, and a fireplace set upon a polished cement plinth.

MOUNTAIN RETREAT
With spectacular views of Cooroy Mountain to the north, a five-bedroom house on 6811sq m at Eumundi has no sooner been listed by Alisa Wythes of Hinternoosa than it has gone under offer.

Within a sealed cul-de-sac, the property features meticulously-manicured lawns with a sense of space and privacy.

Alisa has been inundated with interest and offers on the property.

Interest has been from Brisbane, Adelaide and Noosa hinterland.
“It appeals to a broad audience,’’ Alisa said, “ … a level block for empty nesters but perfect for families too. And then add that mountain view.’’
