Harcourts Australia announces Increase in Tasmanian Residential Sales to First Time Home Buyers

By Colin James


(Hobart) Although big banks are still reluctant to lend money, frequently requiring a deposit of 30 to 40 percent, first time home purchasers remain committed to purchasing. According to the Real Estate Institute of Tasmania, those purchasing a home for the first time made up 19 % of sales in quarter 1 of 2013.

The typical price of homes for sale in Hobart dropped by 1.4 % with the mean price of those in Launceston dropping by 4.4 percent. By contrast, the average price of north west houses increased 7 %. "First time house purchasers need to consider all when determining when and where to buy their new home," Tony Morrison, Chief Executive Officer of Harcourts Tasmania explains.

Consider a home in East Launceston featuring four bedrooms and two baths, this home has been reconstructed and extended to supply a functional and contemporary residence while still retaining the period character. First time purchasers may find a solid brick veneer home in Norwood better meets their wishes and their budget. "Property delegates work with each client to establish what is required in the new home and which properties best meet these needs," Mr Morrison continues.

Others may choose to go with a home in West Hobart, one featuring standard timber features and Hobart red brick solid construction or one in South Hobart offering sunlight, privacy and 180 degree views. "The objective of Harcourts Australia is to sit down with each client and decide exactly what they want and need when referring to their new property. Once this has been established, acceptable properties are selected for viewing. Clients have no time or money to waste and the staff at Harcourts understand this. They work to get rid of those properties which are not suitable before the client ever sees them," Mr Morrison goes on to claim.

Harcourts Australia offers a good range of residential properties to meet every budget, including houses, town houses and villas. Land is available for those wishing to build their dream home, with retirement living accommodations for those that are looking to sell property as part of a downsizing process. "Harcourts Australia understands that different folk have different needs and works to find the perfect property for each client who walks through the door," Mr Morrison declares.
