Welcome – Autumn Eco News 1

We have some brilliant properties for you to choose from. Search by property type to find organic farms, lifestyle and conservation land and homes; weekenders; green change to lots of great locations; and land for housing or homes in eco housing projects and ecovillages. Many are open over Easter and the school holidays if you are travelling, or have time for looking.

Also look out for our winter specials later in April; our information and discussions on financing property; and our poll on affordable housing.

How Not to Miss Out  – Many buyers are disappointed to miss out on our properties. Some of our best are sold in the eco networks, or are only on the market for a very short time. So the best way is to set up your property alert here. You can update your preferences any time, or unsubscribe of course once you have found the property you want. You will automatically receive any property that matches your requirements as soon as it goes live on the ecorealestate website. If you are after something unusual, or very specific, you are always welcome to email our offices and we will add you in to our (free) EcoFind service.

Happy Easter and safe travels.

Affordable Housing

Finally extensive debate and hopefully some key policies will be announced in the May 17 Federal Budget. Check out our Poll here on our Facebook page to give your views. We will report the results on Facebook and in our EcoNews. Give your opinion – ours for example, is that accessing Superannuation will only provide more demand and more competition – unless it is matched by some innovative policies that will also generate extensive supply.

Financial Property

Over winter this year we will be discussing the financing of properties, traditional banks of course and other usual sources. More importantly we will be looking at your experiences and those of our clients, innovations that are coming in to the market, how to get the best loan, the best financiers for different types and location of property. So stay tuned to join in and share your experience and what you need for your property ownership and management. Please look out for our note of how to participate towards the end of April.

Winter Specials

Look out for our end of April Update for our Winter Specials which will be on for a few weeks when we announce our new and revised services.

Current Market

It has been an exciting and rewarding 18 months for us with our eco buyers, all around Australia and other parts of the world, very interested in our properties and making some great purchases.

Frequently, we are asked by seller “how long will it take to sell my property?” Sadly, the biggest mistake we see is not putting the right strategy in place from the get go. Getting the best buyers, the best price, the best timing.

Our Eco Networks of over 8,000 people have been built over many years so we know what people want, and when they want it.

Both buyers and sellers are welcome to have one of our free consultations. So make any time to suit by booking here and tell us a bit about what you are hoping to buy, or planning to sell (or rent/lease). As part of this we will let you know about the current market and what is happening for your type of property or project.

Take our Poll

In time for this year’s Federal Budget we are asking questions on our Facebook page – particularly for affordable housing. See here.

Foreign Buyers of Australian Property

It’s highly unlikely lending and regulation is going to halt demand and impact.

It is time to discuss types of ownership eg. more leasehold; taxation eg. more contribution to national infrastructure, health, environment.

Let’s be innovative and imaginative – we have what most people and corporations want – security, wealth, well being. All comparative of course but we remain one of the luckiest countries.

So how best to share it – let’s debate widely and deeply and constantly.

Social EcoPreneurship
