2010 MASTER BUILDERS - BANKWESTHOUSING EXCELLENCE AWARDSHOUSING EXCELLENCE AWARDS
THE Perth property market isreturning to the boil, with severalwestern suburbs homes andinner-city properties selling justhours, and in some cases minutes,after being listed.
Currently in Perth it’s takingon average 57 days to sell aproperty, but for some happyhome owners this process waseven quicker – with some noteven having to hold home opens.
Not knowing what to expect,my husband and I put our homeon the market a few weeks ago.
To our delight, it sold within48 hours.
Property agent Adam Wilsonfrom Michael Johnson & Co saidthe key to our success was ourhome’s presentation, his effectivemarketing approach and its closeproximity to the CBD.
“Rather than waiting toadvertise the first home open, theproperty was online within hours
on nine majorInternet sites, and Iwas contacted byone of my buyerswithin two hoursof the propertybeing advertised,’’he said.
“The use ofmodern marketingtechnologies, suchas the Internet and virtual tourscreated the ability to reach awider audience in a shorterperiod of time.”
Adam said his pro-active natureand knowledge of the currentmarket enabled him to sell theproperty quickly and for the rightprice.
“I cannot stress enough theimportance of the appearance ofa home and the attention to detailtaken when selling,’’ he said.
Alison Johnstone from EquinoxRealty in Subiaco is no stranger toselling a home in record time.
A dedicated agent withfinancial planning qualificationsand interior design experience,Alison is able to advise buyers andsellers with a wealth ofknowledge to enable them tomake the right decision.
“I regularly sell propertieswithin days of listing. I price
correctly on the market and canjustify that price,” she said.
“I also believe in taking buyersin as quickly as possible andmatching buyers with theproduct.”
Alison said houses, inparticular character homes in thewestern suburbs, were sellingquickly due to their block size andrenovation prospects.
In the past seven months,Alison has sold 21 properties in48-72 hours, including a gorgeous3x2 partly-renovated home inBrowne Street, Subiaco, whichshe sold in minutes.
The Property Exchange directorNikki Peinke said the company wasseeing the most normal propertymarket since 2005.
“Good properties that are well-priced are selling quickly, whereasoverpriced properties and thosethat are not so appealing are taking
longer,” she said.“The investors are back
in the market, too, soproperties under $1 millionare selling quicker.”
Scott Swingler fromRealmark Real Estate saidwhile it was possible to sellhouses in a timely fashion,the method of sale hadbecome more crucial.
“I believe this is the idealmarket for auctions and ‘set datesale’ processes, both of whichdictate an end date to the saleprocess, thus forcing buyers toact, and within a time frame.
“Auction and set date sales arechosen by sellers who want tomeet the market now, but indoing so get the very best fromthe current market.
“They both do this byremoving the asking price andcreating as much competition aspossible between buyers to arriveat the ultimate market price,” hesaid.
“Agents need to be adaptable,and right now that means manhours. If your agent is notprepared to dedicate a significantamount of time to co-ordinating awell-organised marketingcampaign then you are startingfrom behind the eight-ball.”■

Deep Southcasts its spell
I DOUBT anyone leaves thisNedlands home without notingwhat an exquisite feel it has to it.
The brand new colonial-inspired property is the latestaddition to Webster Street, withthe landscaping touchescompleted only three weeks ago.
Designed by award-winingarchitect Danny Jones, of Subiacopractice McDonald Jones, andbuilt by boutique builder anddeveloper Habitation, the homeis far from cutting-edge modern.
Instead, it is more reminiscentof a Deep South American stylehome – wide, flowing andgraceful.
A verandah encloses the frontof the home with french doorsfrom the front rooms opening onto it.
Travertine flooring features
throughout the inside andoutside of the home.
The opulent master bedroomis to the left of the entry.
It features a spacious and welllit, fully fitted-out dressing roomwith a wide full-length mirror.
Opposite, the ensuitebathroom is luxurious withmarble trim, a spa bath lookingon to a private courtyard anddouble vanities.
There are three otherbedrooms, all generous in sizeand with built-in mirrored robes,two of which have access to asemi-ensuite bathroom.
A large study or home office isconveniently located near theentry for those who wish towork from home.
There is also an elegant formallounge with a gas fireplace and
french doors that open out to acentral, travertine-linedcourtyard.
A broad hallway leads to therear of the home where the day-to-day living takes place.
Bifold doors and floor-to-ceiling glass allow the beautifulgarden and pool aspect to beenjoyed from inside.
A top-of-the-range kitchenfeaturing Miele appliances,including an inbuilt coffeemachine, marble splashback,scullery, breakfast bar and highgloss two-toned cabinetry, is a
sleek backdrop for the centralliving area.
The kitchen is flanked by anoutdoor kitchen and alfrescoarea which leads on to a spaciouslawn area.
I particularly like that severalmature trees on the propertyhave been retained, andlandscaping has been donearound them to give theproperty a lovely, leafysurrounding.
Impeccably appointed andfinished, this home is wonderfulin every way. ■

FROM 600 square metres of retail space tojust 60 square metres, Interceramics reallydownsized when they moved from theirLeederville showroom to Nedlands threeyears ago.
The family owned business is oneof Perth’s largest suppliers ofimported stone, ceramic,porcelain and mosaic tiles.
The move, according tothe owner, was a decisionthey have never looked backfrom, forging a more intimate, ‘openby appointment’ service, and mimicking amore European style of operation.
Interceramics was established in 1974 at
which time the owners were in the buildingindustry.
They started importing tiles from Italy andGermany after being disheartened
with what was on offer locally.Today, they carryover one hundreddifferent ranges of
imported tiles. The entrance to the
Interceramics showroom isquite deceiving.It looks as though it leads to a
storage unit rather then an officeshowroom and an extensively
stocked warehouse.
The company caters mainly for theresidential market, but has supplied tiles forsome of Perth’s most significant corporatebuildings, too.
It supplies tiles for both indoor andoutdoor use, including swimming pools,artworks and landscape features.
Having been in business for almost 40years, Interceramics prides itself on repeatbusiness and loyal clientele.
“Tiles are classic, they never go out offashion,” said the owner.
“Stone, travertine and marble were intrend 20 years ago and still will be 20 yearsfrom now.”
The owner describes her products as
practical, resistant and easy to maintain.She said the consultation process can be
as simple as looking over plans of a home andoffering the client advice as to what range oftiles is best suited to certain areas of thehome.
When asked if there was a trend tocombine different types of tiles in differentareas, she adamantly shakes her head.
“No, I always tell the client, consistency isvery important.”
“If they want granite, they should stickwith granite throughout the home.”
Interceramics is open by appointment at158 Stirling Highway (Cnr Bulimba Road),Nedlands. ■

Rare Kimberley earth making its markSOURCED from one of the State’s most beautiful regions,Kimberley sandstone is fast becoming the material of choicefor many WA builders and designers.
Found beneath the rugged beauty of the stunningKimberley region, the sandstone is deep red and rich cream incolour.
Meteor Stone understands the diverse landscape of ournorth with its incredible landforms and striking scenery and isthe only Australian company that quarries, processes andmarkets Kimberley Sandstone, Tamala Limestone, KimberleyQuartzite and Donnybrook Sandstone.
Meteor Stone took its range of Kimberley Sandstone
products to Melbourne’s ‘meeting Place,’ the landmarkcultural and entertainment destination of Federation Square,and used the combination of Kimberley Sandstone, KimberleyQuartzite in the cobblestones, tiles, classing, stair treads andpaving.
The effect of the Kimberley Sandstone at FederationSquare captured the imagination of television gardener anddesigner Jamie Durie who incorporated the company’sTwilight Collection in Australia’s creation in the 2008 ChelseaGarden Show in London.
Meteor Stone processed 4500 individually shaped-tiles ofKimberley Sandstone and Donnybrook Sandstone and theywere stacked without adhesives or fixing materials to create acurved wall, which was the central theme for the wholedisplay.
The display won the Gold Medal, catapulting KimberleySandstone and Donnybrook Sandstone on the world stage.
Broome’s landmark project, the Pinctada Resort, was alsoan ideal showcase for the Kimberley Sandstone TwilightCollection, where it was used extensively for the chaletporticos, main entrance and the large swimming pool area.
Some of the other major projects that have utilised MeteorStone’s Kimberley Sandstone range include the HousingIndustry Association building in Herdsman, the Port CoogeeMarina, the St John of God Chapel in Subiaco, St Martin’s Plazain the Perth CBD, the Motorola Building in Nedlands and theBali Memorial in Kings Park.
The Northbridge Piazza features Kimberley Black Granite
Cobbles and Kimberley Quartzite in the seating, walls andpaving.
Projects which feature Tamala Limestone include theDunsborough Shopping Centre, the Notre Dame Universityin Fremantle, the Bunker Bay Resort, the Subiaco ShoppingCentre, numerous residences in WA, South Australia,Victoria and New South Wales and the recently renovated StMary’s Cathedral in Perth which also features DonnybrookSandstone throughout.
The company not only services the Australian market buthas also provided product for projects in China, NewZealand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and the UnitedKingdom.
To see the range of natural WA stone on display, visit theMeteor Stone display centre at 14 Furniss Road in Landsdale.
