It all comes down to this … 10 business days until Christmas. Three weeks until the New Year.
It is now a race against time to get a property signed up and settled, then ready to move into for summer holidays and the start of the school year.
Noosa is experiencing tight listings, strong demand and a bright outlook in the run-up to the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.
There is a feeling that buyers nationally as well as internationally are positioning themselves for the next nine years in particular.
Agents are presenting a wide variety of properties to auction over the next two weeks.
A four-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house with pool at 13 Seagull Ct, Noosa Waters, goes to the market on Saturday, 9 December, at 3pm.
Peter TeWhata of Tom Offermann Real Estate said it was “a lovely home with a nice, relaxed, tropical feel.’’
Next to a parkland reserve and with only two neighbours, it features a north-facing alfresco area and the pool catches the beautiful afternoon sun.
From the entry foyer, eyes are drawn to a lounge, a study/leisure space which opens to a courtyard plus an expansive living and dining space with the north-facing aspect.
Indoors has seamless connectivity to the massive terrace. Granite is everywhere and totally surrounds the sizeable pool with statement water feature, vine-covered half wall and lower garden of frangipanis.
The hub of indoors is the L-shaped kitchen with stone-topped cabinetry including island breakfast bar, pantry and premium appliances including Ariston six-hob gas cooktop, Westinghouse oven, and a Fisher & Paykel dish drawer.
On the north side, the king-size main bedroom has built-in robes, dresser, an ensuite with mocha mosaic tiles and a tranquil aspect looking out to the courtyard.
Two bedrooms have built-in robes – one looks out to the beautiful rear garden, and both share a bathroom with a tub. A fourth bedroom has built-in robes and looks out to the pool. All bedrooms are carpeted and have block-out blinds and curtains.
STRONG RESPONSE FOR FAMILY HOME
The first open for inspection saw 16 couples attend.
That level of interest has continued for the four-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house with pool at 2 McKenna Ct, Noosaville, that is set for auction at 12pm Saturday, 9 December.
Roger Omdahl at Laguna Real Estate said the open house inspections have been in conjunction with a high level of online inquiry.
Mostly local interest yet overall it is evenly spread through South-east Queensland, Victoria and New South Wales as well.
“The outstanding appeal is the location,’’ Roger said, “… a two-minute stroll to Noosa Library, a level walk to Noosa River and the yacht club.
“Otherwise the mile of restaurants along Gympie Tce or to Noosa Marina.
“The corner property is very private from the street and ideal for a family.
“It has been updated internally to reflect the coastal lifestyle.
“The main living areas, the pool, entertainment cabana and lawn all enjoy north and east aspect.’’
