Optimism strong despite median price fall
WHILE median house prices in Perth fell byaround 4 per cent in the December quarter,local agents are optimistic about the yearahead.
After a sluggish 2008, agents in Perth’saffluent suburbs are looking tothe future and seeing the startof a new year as the start ofstabilisation in the propertymarket.
Despite REIWA data showingsales of homes in the $600,000to $1 million range falling in thelast quarter, Vitale FineProperties principal David Vitalebelieved figures would bounceback to more moderate levelsas the volume of sales increased.
Core Real Estate salesconsultant Scott Banister-Jones said whilesales would not be anything like those of theboom, we would continue to see strong
demand for well-located properties in 2009.“One section of the market that will do
well over the coming months will be theunder $500,000 properties as investorsrealise they can get great returns on theirinvestments which, thanks to the low interestrates, will be almost positively geared,’’ hesaid.
REIWA deputy president David Airey saidthe institute’s figures suggested that Perth’smedian house price had declined by 11 percent from its peak in December 2007.
“The drop in median price represents thefourth quarter of declining prices, bringingPerth’s median house price down to$418,000 from $435,000 in September last
year,’’ he said.The number of houses on
the market has also dippedseasonally as many sellerswithdrew their properties forsale over the quiet Christmasperiod.
The overall figure fell to16,000 properties at the end ofDecember, including 2200blocks of land.
This compares with 18,400at the end of November andrepresents a 7.5 per cent fall in
stock volume on September.The Property Exchange director Niki
Peinke said her forecast for this year was a
stabilisation of prices and a balanced turnoverof properties in the western suburbs.
“I would recommend selling before buying,as it is the cash buyers who attain propertiesfor the best prices in this market,’’ she said.
“If you are buying and selling in the samemarket, it makes no difference what themarket is doing and there is a definiteadvantage in making the move now.
“Especially if buyers are upgrading theirhomes, as they stand to save a lot more ontheir purchase than they stand to lose ontheir sale – not to mention lower stampduties.’’
Daryl Cook from Peard West Coastagreed, saying now was a fantastic time tobuy as there was a lot for buyers to choosefrom as well as low interest rates that look togo even lower. ■

2009?WHAT’S IN STORE FOR
Agents are seeing the start of the new year as a stabilisation of the real estate market.
EAST FREMANTLE
WITH East Fre-mantle being so
close to the fantastic beaches, theSwan River, transport, shopping,excellent schools and an abundanceof parkland, it is a great place to live.
The area has a great range ofother services and facilities such asyacht clubs, cafés, restaurants, allwithin a stone’s throw of theFremantle lifestyle offerings.
The Fremantle-Perth train linealso means that connecting to thesuburbs and the CBD is a breeze.
According to REIWA, over thepast 10 years East Fremantle hasexperienced an average annualgrowth rate of 14.3 per cent and,despite the tough times, a currentgrowth rate of 5.8 per cent.
CLAREMONT
I AM positive aboutthe real estate market
in Claremont in the coming year. While sales will not be anything
like those of the boom I believe we will continue to see strongdemand for well-locatedproperties.
One section of the market thatwill do well over the comingmonths will be the under $500,000properties as investors realisethey can get great returns on theirinvestments which, thanks to thelow interest rates will be almostpositively geared.
First-home buyers will also havea big impact on this section of themarket thanks to the low interestrates and government incentives.
WEMBLEY
WEMBLEY contin-ues to be an as-
pirational suburb for many peopleand its diversity in accommodationforms, such as established yetoriginal character homes, first-homebuyer units, executive townhousesand fully renovated, luxury homes,ensures that there is always salesactivity in the area.
If the first two weeks of 2009are anything to go by, then we willsee renewed buyer interest inboth the first-home buyer unitsector and the more ‘entry level’houses.
There is also substantial interestin those properties representinggreat value versus theircompetitors on the market.
MOSMAN PARK
I SEE a few positivethings happening in
Mosman Park over the next 12months or so. Currently there areapprox-imately 130 properties forsale in the riverside suburb rangingfrom the low $200k level right up toasking prices with eight figures. Thisstock level is much higher thannormal.
Being a realist, I don’t see anymassive growth happening in 09.
However, with many sterlingbuys out there in Mosman Park, abuyer can take a longer term viewin acquiring a property of let’s sayfive years, as opposed tospeculating for a ‘quick buck’which is why some punters havecome unstuck in the first place.
SUBIACO
THE property mar-ket in and around
Subiaco and in the western suburbsgenerally has dropped between 15and 20 per cent since the height ofthe boom in 2006, although this levelwas sustained for most of 2007.
At this stage it has correcteditself to the point whereby thehistoric 10 per cent average annualgrowth applies, ignoring the 30 percent rise in values in 2006.
Whereas most sellers at thispoint are prepared to accept pre-2006 prices for their property,now the indication is that this is asfar as they will go. If the propertieswon’t sell even at this figure,sellers are now withdrawing theirproperties from the market.

Great oceanviews fromevery level
A FASTIDIOUS transformation of thishouse and commanding position in the streetcan’t take away from its main attraction –ocean views from all levels.
An alfresco and pool area steps up to aviewing deck at the back, where the potentialfor expansive ocean views from a secondstorey are realised.
Stone and limestone walls and a glassbalustrade separates the pool and gardenareas from the alfresco, which has sealedlimestone paving and a cedar-lined roof withgabled section opening to the back.
The owner took 18 months to completerestorations inside and out, resulting in amodern, light and uncluttered layout.
From the sunken entry, jarrah steps leadto the main floor, where stone-look tiledfloors are laid through open-plan family anddining areas with a study nook at one side.
Sliding doors open from the family area toa front balcony with ocean views.
Corian benches complement gloss cream-coloured cupboards in the kitchen,contrasted by mosaic tile splashbacks andglass-front display cabinets.
Features include moulded underslungsinks, a dishwasher, double fridge recess, glasscooktop, walk-in pantry and an island bench
with cupboard space and self-closing drawers.On a raised level, a central living area
opens outside and is one of the owner’sfavourite places.
“You can be in the activity area, withfriends outside having drinks and have thekids in the pool,” he said.
He said good separation and the flexiblefloor plan would appeal to people whowanted low-maintenance living and families inneed of their own spaces.
All bedrooms are double-sized, while themain has ocean views, a walk-in wardrobeand a modern ensuite with moulded-topvanity unit, glass pivot-door shower screenand separate toilet.
It has a large garage with workshop space,is close to parks and schools and is 200metres from the beach. ■

Travel enriches a right royal residenceTELL Rosanna Marusco her homeresembles a castle and she will be thefirst to admit that was not theintention.
Built about nine years ago, theNorth Fremantle beauty stands proudat the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, takingin breathtaking views of the river andocean from its five balconies.
Taking two-and-a-half years to build,Rosanna said it was a huge project totake on, but she enjoyed having inputinto its design.
“I had just had a baby and it was a bigask to design an entire house, but Iloved doing it,’’ she said.
“The home isn’t inspired fromanything or anywhere in particular, it’sa bit of what I like mixed with ideas I’vegathered from overseas holidays.
“For instance, the wall lights in theupstairs hallway were actually candleholders I picked up in Bali, and my dadmade them into light fittings.’’
From the moment you step into thelimestone rubble residence, you knowyou’ve entered somewhere unique.
The large welcoming entrance foyer,with floor-to-ceiling windows, providesthe home with plenty of naturalsunlight andoverlooksthe below-groundswimmingpool outside.
Anunmistakableair of eleganceis expressedeloquently inthecombination ofexotic teaktimber andmarble flooring,stone work,wrought iron,intricate cornicesand ceilings.
Imported handcrafted tiling, andcustom-made
doors and cabinetry also make thishome one of a kind.
Rosanna and her husband, Robert,say they have enjoyed raising theirfamily in the stunning home, and arelooking forwardto their nextproject.
“The locationis justwonderful. It isonly minutes tothe beach orthe SwanRiver,’’ Rosannasaid.
“We loveNorthFremantle somuch, we planto build again inthe area.’’

Heritage builder uses skillsin own home renovation
ESTATE BUILDER Hans Vogels has beenrestoring heritage properties for more than30 years, in the belief that older homes exudea warm and inviting ambience to give themthat extra appeal.
The result of such work can be seen in hisown residence, which is a great example oforiginal architecture that has been tastefullyrestored through meticulous planning.
The owner says fine detailing makes the1906-built home different from itscounterparts, specifically referring to theproperty’s double-glazed leadlight windows,Victorian lace and carved oak staircase assome of its standout features.
“I wanted to show what you can do to anold home,” he said. “We started renovationsin 1987 and the transformations werefinished two years later.
“My favourite room is definitely the openliving area, as everyone congregates here.You can look out to the backyard, which hasa great entertaining vibe.”
A tessellated front verandah with tilingadorns the façade of the house. Ornatefireplaces, decorative cornices and skirtingboards, ceiling roses, picture rails andelaborately covered airconditioning vents aresome of the highlights through the twobedrooms at the front of the home.
An intricately plastered archway continuesinto the formal lounge and dining rooms.
Currently used as an office, the dining areawas formerly a bedroom and has jarrahfloorboards, which the owner utilised for itsWest Australian background.
The owner had always planned to build awine cellar below the house and came upwith a masterful design with pressed tinceilings and an extensive layout that includesoak wine racks.
Granite bench tops, stainless-steelappliances and a hideaway appliance cupboardare some of the features through therefurbished kitchen. It overlooks theadjoining meals and family zones, whichincorporate built-in seating areas next to thewindows.
The informal living rooms provide a sereneaspect into the wraparound bull-nosedverandahs in the backyard.
An addition to the original structure of thehouse, the top level includes a further twobedrooms, one bathroom and a retreat withvaulted ceilings that add an architecturalelement to the room.
A self-contained unit in the rear integratesan office and a laundry on the ground level.The garage has a staircase that leads to akitchenette and the fifth bedroom, which has
its own split-system airconditioner.One of the things Hans and his wife Linda
will miss about the home is its convenientlifestyle.
“There is no need to drive anywhere andit’s great when you want to go to the footy,”Hans said. ■

The waterside kaleidoscopeThere’s a lot to admire in this riverside street. By CARMELLE SANDER
IT'S a hot summer's after-noon and Riverside Road inEast Fremantle is a buzz ofactivity.
Running along the bank ofthe Swan River, the streetoffers a kaleidoscope ofdining and recreationaloptions.
While some locals enjoy apicnic at John TonkinReserve, others opt for aleisurely cruise along theriver.
It might be 3pm on aweekday, but this has notdeterred local fishermanTrevor Walker from tryinghis luck.
“I'm retired now, so I havenowhere to be,” he said.
“One of my favourite pas-times is coming down to theriver during the week whenit’s a bit quieter and doing abit of fishing.”
Just a few hundred metresdown the road, MelanieMcGill iskicking backwith hergirlfriends atThe Left BankCafé BarRestaurant.
“I’m visitingfrom Sydney,but I’ve been toPerth a few
times and The Left Bank isdefinitely a place I alwayscome back to,” she said.
“I love the atmosphere.”The land at 15 Riverside
Road, on which the verypopular Left Bank is situated,has a rich history.
In 1889, Thomas and FannyCarroll purchased the landand used it to run a boat-building business before itwas occupied as a house.
In 1940 Alan Sergeant andhis sister, Dorrie, purchasedthe house from the Carrollfamily, and later Dorrie andher husband, Ted Driver,took up residence.
In the 1970s the ownershipof the home went from theDriver family to theMetropolitan Regional Plan-ning Authority for $104,000and in 1981 it was taken overby the East Fremantle TownCouncil which called for
tenders to restore the homefor use by the public.
The Clough EngineeringGroup was the successfultenderer, and The Left Bankwas born, opening its doorsto the public in 1990.
Another eatery just asrenowned for its crowds isThe Red Herring, at 26Riverside Drive.
Recognised across Perth asan ideal wedding and functionvenue, the restaurant pridesitself on fresh local seafood,including live oysters, whichare shucked on site.
Peard West Coast salesconsultant Daryl Cook saidRiverside Road was stunningto say the least, and peoplegravitated to the watersidelocation for its views andvista.
“Riverside Road and somany other locations in EastFremantle offer views of themany changing facets of theriver and in some cases theIndian Ocean as well,’’ he said.
“Riverside Road has such ablend of homes, apartmentsand houses, and beingwaterside means that there isno more land available,making it a premiumcommodity.’’
Mr Cook said propertiesin this location were tightly
held and rarely came to themarket.
With so much on offeralong Riverside Road, it’s nowonder residents who arelucky enough to secure aproperty never leave. ■

WHEN Darrell and Kerry Arnett wentlooking for high quality all-weather wickerfurniture, they were astounded to discoverthere was an eight to 12-week wait fordelivery.
Not content to sit back and wait, theArnetts decided to import their own andPacific Blue was born.
Since the opening of its Claremontshowroom in May 2008, Pacific Blue hasgained a reputation for fabulous all-weatherwicker furniture and a seven-day deliverypromise.
“The business was definitely the brainchildof my dad,” manager and son Ben Arnettsaid.
“He came up with the idea of importinghigh quality all-weather wicker, but one ofour strengths would have to be our fast
delivery.” Pacific Blue is truly a familybusiness, with Ben’s siblings Renee, Kelly andCourtney all involved in everyaspect, including design,retail and delivery.
Using only the finestHularo weave, Pacific Blue’srange almost looks toogood to be outside and it’shard to believe such stylishfurniture can stand up to arelentless Perth summer.
Hularo is a polyethylene-based fibre, designed inGermany and manufactured inFrance, and the world leader insynthetic wicker furniture.
It is tear-proof, highlyresistant to chlorine, UV rays,
salt water and stains from food and drink(including red wine).
In fact, it is so toughthat Pacific Blue offer afive-year guaranteeagainst fading orcracking.
“We felt if wewere serious aboutimporting wickerthen we would onlyuse the best qualitymaterials available,”Ben said.
Pacific Blueoffers a range ofdining, lounge andpoolside options
in classic and
contemporary styles. In line with the qualitywicker, the cushions are both fashionable,durable and available in a variety of designerprints and colours.
Pacific Blue uses the Sunbrella fabric range,a solution-dying process that locks coloursinto acrylic fibres for long-lasting colour.
Ben said his family is constantly developingthe business and has introduced four newwicker colour options.
The store also carries exquisite beeswaxcandles and features artwork from localartists.
“We’re learning as we go along, but feelthe all-weather wicker market will be goingstrong for a very long time,” he said.
