TOP PROPERTY TIPS FOR TODAY5THIS week
Altitude RealEstate salesconsultantDean Bradleyshares his toptips on what toconsider beforeselling.
1. DO YOUNEED TO SELL?In the current market, where propertyin Perth is taking an average of 79 daysto sell and prices being achieved maynot be realising the same level ofgrowth as previous boom periods, it isworth holding off selling if you don’treally need to.2. AM I TRADING UP?If you are looking to upgrade yourproperty then this is the perfect timeto make your move.For example, if you thought you wouldget $800,000 for your current homebut in this market you get $720,000,you perceive that you have ‘lost’$80,000.However, you then buy a property thatyou’d expect to pay $1,000,000 for butyou secure the property for $900,000.You ‘save’ $100,000. Ultimately youare better off.3. DOES MY PROPERTY HAVE APOINT OF DIFFERENCE?With just over 17,000 properties onthe Perth market in September 2008, incomparison to 4900 in June 2006,having a unique selling point to yourproperty is more essential than ever.Maximise what you do have andpresent the house well.4. RIGHT PRICETraditionally you may have applied aone-year, five-year or 10-year growthrate analysis to estimate the value ofyour property and hence what youmarket it for.In this market it is essential to lookfurther than that and consider veryrecent sales in your area, the time theytook to sell and the price they achievedversus that at which they first went tomarket.
Welcome to the modular age
Signs improving as auctions begin to generate interestGOING, going, gone.
Recent success at auctions has a numberof agents believing the bottom of themarket is close.
Last Saturday, a Doubleview propertysold under the hammer for $850,000.
The 875sqm block of land with houseattracted a strong crowd of about 40, andfour serious bidders.
Paxton Hoad principal David Lawrance
said he was pleased with the positiveturnout and said all signs indicated bettertimes were ahead.
“People are becoming more confidentwith the auction process and we arestarting to see a lot more buyers becomingcomfortable with the process,'' he said.
“From a seller’s point of view, an auctioncan shorten the sale time and from abuyer’s point of view it’s a transparent
process with realistic marketplaceexpectations.”
Mr Lawrance said the Doubleviewproperty at 104 Millcrest Street, waszoned R30 and the successful buyers haddecided to redevelop the block into twonew townhouses.
The existing 1950s home with fourbedrooms will be knocked down to makeway for the new development. ■
Agents are of the opinion recent sales are pointing to the bottom of the market being close

We can find out.
The stuff of family dreamsNESTLED at the end of a picturesque cul-de-sac in Bicton iswhere you will find this rare gem.
Sprawled over two levels, the architect-designed homeexudes confidence and makes brilliant use ofnatural sunlight.
The home was built nine years ago by Neiland Tracey McCleary, who knocked down theirprevious home on the block to make way fortheir dream home.
However, a big family of five children and thedesire for more space is driving the family tosell.
“We’ve enjoyed living in this house, andmost of the kids have grown up here,” Neilsaid. “But we need more room, and haveactually built a new home on the block of landwe own behind this property.’’
With soaring ceilings, Queensland blackbuttfloors and built-in cabinetry, this uniquely-designed homepresents well and creates a sense of space.
Living areas are open-plan and free-flowing , and bi-fold
timber doors open out onto the outside decking area, withgas-heated swimming pool and rock water wall.
Upstairs there are four generously-sized bedrooms andtwo bathrooms.
Two bedrooms, including the master suite,have private balconies that look out over thePoint Walter Golf Course.
The master bedroom features cathedralceilings, private ensuite with large shower anda spacious walk-in robe. The children’sbedrooms feature built-in study desks.
The lacquer red kitchen on the ground levelis a highlight of the home and featuresEuropean appliances and stainless steel benchtops.
Neil said a large family like his meant a lot of‘stuff’ and when the home was built he wantedto ensure it had enough storage to keep their
books, music/sports equipment and other bits and pieces.The double lock-up garage has floor-to-ceiling storage
cupboards against one wall. ■

Made for a family to spread its wings
THE current owners, along with architectCharlie Robertson and landscape architect JoTaylor, can be credited with the trans-formation of this circa 1950s bungalow froma modest living space into a stylish and family-friendly home.
Renovations and extensions completed inthe past 18 months have taken theaccommodation from a simple three-bedroom, one-bathroom design to a newlevel, encompassing three distinct zones tomaximise privacy and space for a family.
“We designed the house with wings inmind. We have a wing for the au pair andseparate parents’ and kids’ wings, which
means that we can have the kids in the playroom and we can be in a separate area, so weare not under each other’s feet all the time,”the owner said.
“The space was designed to providesimple, single-level living that suits a familywith younger kids.
“Integration of the indoor and outdoorareas was important, as we wanted each areato function separately but still worksimultaneously.”
While single-level living caters for theneeds of the family, there is extra space in abedroom on the first floor, currently in use asa live-in au pair’s quarters.
To suit the needs of newowners, the space could beused as a games room orliving area.
A minor bedroom or studyand the formal lounge roombranch off a central hallway,from which dark-stainedjarrah floorboards progressto the centrally located free-flowing living areas andbedroom zones at the back.
High ceilings enhance thefeeling of space in the open-plan kitchen, meals area and family room,where glass stacker doors open to a timber-decked undercover area that overlooks a gas-heated pool and a grassed area with a sandpitand trampoline.
This use of glass, plus a glass safety fence
around the pool, makes supervising childrenfrom inside the home easy.
Floor-to-ceiling teak cabinets add asophisticated touch to the kitchen. It has twowine fridges and stainless-steel Smegappliances, a Miele dishwasher andCaesarStone bench tops. ■

SCHWENKE YOUNG & COReal Estate For Your Way of Living
FORM FUNCTIONNo holes to rail againstDECIDING exactly where tohang that prized piece of art can benail-biting stuff, because once thathole is drilled there’s no goingback.
That is unless you use a hangingrail system that allows you tochange your mind and yourartwork as often as you likewithout a hole in sight.
These innovative hangingsystems have been on the marketfor a while, but according toGallery360’s project manager,Jeremy Strack, the Arti Teq systemhas fine-tuned and streamlined theconcept to create a stylish andflexible system that no art lovershould be without.
“Having researched andexperimented with many of thenewer designs, we selected theArti Teq Hanging System due tothe innovation of design, ease ofinstallation and adaptability of itscomponents in regard tointerchanging artwork on display,”Mr Strack said.
The system consists of a discreet
track that is positioned close to theceiling or cornice.
The cords (available in eithernylon or stainless steel) are clippedon and can be moved anywherealong the track and adjusted to anylength via a pressure hook system.
Manufactured in theNetherlands, the Arti Teq isavailable in three finishes; brushedaluminium, white or primer thatcan be painted to match wallcolours.
Do-it-yourself kits are availablefrom Gallery360 in Subiaco. Pricesstart from $49 for a two-metrelong track with cords and hooks.
Installation is easy or Gallery360can provide an expert to install thesystem for you.
“In a residential space, one ofthe major benefits for our clients isthat they are able to change theirartwork easily and with a minimumof time and effort,” Mr Strack said.
“This means they can alternatepieces they choose to have ondisplay or from a décor point ofview, change the look and feel of a
space very easily and quickly.”Also available is the Arti Teq
Combi-Rail that incorporateslighting into the system, ensuringartwork is displayed to its fullpotential.
The light armatures are available
in different lengths to bestilluminate and showcase the art.
The cost of the Combi-Rail issignificantly more than the regulartrack but the result can bring anartwork to life, emphasisingtexture and intensity of colour.
While the Arti Teq hangingsystem might appeal more toserious art collectors, it is a stylishway to hang prints or cherishedphotographs even if you don’t ownan original masterpiece.■

LUXURY LIVING
CONVENIENTLY located in the heart ofMosman Park, Calico & Ivy is the soul ofpatchwork and quilting in the WesternSuburbs.
Owner Debbie Ogilby purchased the storein April, after being a customer for over 20years.
She said part of her vision for the storewas to enable customers to feel the samesense of satisfaction she has always felt bystitching clothing and home furnishings forher home.
Calico & Ivy specialise in an array of uniqueand sumptuous fabric, quilting weightcottons, high quality yarns for knitting andcrochet, gifts, as well as books and patternsfor inspiration and instruction.
Debbie said having two daughters and adaughter-in-law who were eager stitchers, itwas important to have relevant resourcesavailable, from which they, and their peers,could draw and grow.
“Self-expression, be it in their own attire,that of their children or their homeenvironment is a very important way ofshowing individuality in a world that seems tobe becoming very much a lot of the same,’’she said.
“Simply put, I wish everyone to have theconfidence to show more of their personalityto the world and I want Calico & Ivy to be afacilitator towards this goal.
“I encourage people to start childrenyoung, encourage girls to stitch from theheart and be proud of the end result.
“I believe that if hard-found time andenergy have been expended in a creativepursuit, quality materials with great designelement (or in the case of knitting/crochettop quality yarn) are a priority.”
To create your future heirloom andcovetable possession, Calico & Ivy also hold avariety of classes which are led by motivatingand experienced teachers.
With Christmas just around the corner,the store also stocks a huge gift line, rangingfrom ready-made bags, stitched and knittedtoys, books, stationary and fabric packs.
“We are not a ready-made decoratingstore. Rather than selling the finished productwe aim to encourage the process of creatingindividual garments or furnishings by giving asmuch assistance through classes, or help overthe counter,’’ Debbie said.
“We also aim to stock fabrics and yarn thatare more difficult to source here in Perth butthat are highly-sought after by stitchers in the‘know’.
“I believe having an extensive range ofchoices available to them is what will keep
them excited by the world of stitching.” ■
