You can often tell the time of year in Noosa by those you see in Hastings St.
Those with school-age children have gone home, and it’s not until the first snow falls in May that the southern holiday-makers head to the warmer weather.
As we head into autumn it is the turn of young couples or professional people taking a break.
When it comes to the property market, Noosa is pretty much in demand year-round nowadays.
Yet understanding the market and the values is something both buyers and sellers need to be up to date on.
Those who know Noosa have a good idea of what the values are … they are keeping an eye and ear out for what properties are worth.
They are the people who are understanding the market, otherwise it is easy to be out of touch.
Vendors can miss a sale by expecting too much for their property, and buyers being caught short in their offers.
It all adds to the mystique that is Noosa.
CENTRE OF ATTENTION
Sitting above Noosa Junction and within walking distance of Hastings St and the beach, a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house in The Quarterdeck is positioned to attract wide appeal.
Nic Hunter and Adam Offermann of Tom Offermann Real Estate are taking the house on 506sq m at No. 28 to auction Saturday, 8 March,
at 12pm.
It comes with amazing south-west views over the Noosa River system and Lake Weyba, taking in Mt Cooroy and the hinterland ranges.
“The overall feel of the living upstairs with the deck,’’ is appealing to interested parties,’’ Adam said, “and that it has a good-sized level lawn area. as well as to Hastings St and Main Beach.’’
Interests have been across the board – locals as well as interstate.
The south-west terrace is mostly undercover, and opens from the carpeted, open-plan living and dining area with vaulted ceiling.
The C-shaped kitchen has a terracotta-tiled floor, white laminate-topped bench/breakfast bar with white cabinetry, walk-in pantry and quality appliances including a BEKO dishwasher plus Fisher & Paykel cooktop with two ovens.
On this upper level is the main bedroom that opens to the terrace, has a walk-in robe plus an all-white ensuite with glass-topped, single-basin cabinetry.
On the ground level is the terracotta-tiled front entry. Beyond is a second open-plan living space with dedicated television area. It expands to a sunny undercover terrace and rear garden.
With living areas on each level, dual living or a teen’s leisure zone come into play as there are two bedrooms with built-in robes; one opens to the terrace; the bathroom has a bathtub/shower; plus, separate toilet. The adjoining laundry has access to a drying area, there’s storage under the stairs, and a two-car garage.
“This walk-in-ready home is situated on a highly sought-after, quiet, leafy street surrounded by contemporary residences. It’s also within walking distance to the vibrant Noosa Junction, offering a variety of cafes, bars, supermarkets, a cinema complex, boutiques, essential services, and transport links.“
