Testimonial for Team Godwin

We first met Gary Thomas at one of his Auctions in Mooloolaba. We had already listed our home for sale with another prominent agent for Auction, Gary was very professional in his manner and seemed genuine with his well wishes for our own Auction. Unfortunately our house did not attract the premium offers we were expecting from the other agent. We then enlisted Gary’s help and he assured us he would get us that premium price we were after. True to his word the very first buyer Gary brought through purchased our house for $30 000 more than the other agent was able to achieve. Throughout we found Gary’s mannerism very professional and will gladly recommend his services. Next time we will choose Gary first!

Hot Property

Welcome to my very first Blog!  

I’d like to chat about one of our hottest listing we currently have available For Sale.

Number 10 Bluehaven Court is residential property at its absolute finest. Situated in the “Bokarina Beachcourts”, this is arguably one of the best beachside lifestyle options available. To the uninitiated the Beachcourts are a series of 6 paved cul de sacs in beachside Bokarina that run perpendicular to the beach and culminate in the sand dunes, all have off street parking available and have the rare bonus of a beach access path in each street. Beachside living on the Sunshine Coast is ideal, Beachcourt living takes that to an entire new level.

The property we have available for sale is a four bedoom home built by a well known Gold Coast builder in the mid 90’s and is a design quite unique to the area. The home is best described as open plan offering huge living areas and high ceilings with exceptional attention to detail and finish. Despite being approx 15 years old this home has been fastidiously maintained and requires very little work to bring it back to its original glory, maybe some carpet and a coat of paint but not much more. 

An added bonus of purchasing this property is the planned future development by Stockland which will be bordering this property, this development sight is a huge draw
card for the area and can only be seen as value adding for the entire area.

If you friends or family that you think would benefit from a peaceful beachside lifestyle then you must tell them about 10 BLUEHAVEN COURT, BOKARINA.

Thanks for taking the time and watch out for next weeks Hottie!

5 Lillypilly Place Mooloolaba sold for $635,000. The buyers are expats working in Singapore and are looking at relocating back to the Sunshine Coast in 2 years time. The wife absolutely loved the court living and ambiance of the street and the ability to renovate the home to there own tastes when they return to Australia.
67c Alfriston Drive Buderim sold for $399,000. Local investors brought this property as they saw the  potential in the land size of a massive 800 metres plus its presentation and the property alreadt having tenants in place. 

This cross section of sales highlighted that Sunshine Coast is still a great place to buy and with combination of local and out of town buyers still active in the market place it is a very resilient market where buyers are seeing value they are still buying.
