7 Strategies to Improve Your Business Management Skills

Image
 Hi all, As a business owner, I used to worry about managing my business in the most competent way to increase the output and the profits. However, I was feeling that only delegation was not going to get me where I wanted to reach. I felt that I was ignoring a proper communication with my workforce and the clients. I needed to work on my public speaking skills and addressing the concerns of the suppliers, stakeholders and customers. I needed to put my point across without offending anyone. Also, I needed to make them understand the vision and mission of the business to work in the same direction. If you also struggle with your business management, read the article shared below.  https://www.business2sell.com.au/blogs/strategy/strategies-to-improve-your-business-management-skills

What can you buy for Australia’s median house price?

Image
 The median house price across Australia’s capital cities is now $1,065,447, and a budget that size will stretch further in some parts of the country than others. Depending on the location, and the amount of renovation required, buyers might be looking at a home just a few kilometres from a CBD, or much further afield. The median house price across the capital cities fell 0.9 per cent in the June quarter compared to three months earlier, but is still 10.9 per cent higher than a year ago and well above pre-pandemic levels.

How much extra would you pay for a home with water views in Sydney?

Image
 Sydney’s cashed-up home buyers have long paid top dollar for properties on the waterfront, but the premium required has soared to new heights. Waterfront properties in the harbour city now typically cost more than twice the price of their inland counterparts, but premiums can reach well above that in highly desirable pockets. Sydney recorded an average waterfront premium of 121 per cent last quarter, topping the latest Knight Frank International Waterfront Index, which compares the prices of such homes with equivalent properties set back from the water. That is up from a 95 per cent premium in 2019. Read More: https://www.smh.com.au/property/news/how-much-extra-would-you-pay-for-a-home-with-water-views-in-sydney-20220811-p5b8xg.html

Image
 A couple in their late thirties upgraded to a Marrickville house for $1,655,000 at auction on Saturday, but only after the sellers cut their reserve to meet the market. Four buyers – half first-home buyers and the other half upgraders – registered to bid on the two-bedroom property at 115 Warren Road. It was one of 537 homes scheduled to go to auction in Sydney on Saturday. By evening, Domain Group recorded a preliminary clearance rate of 61.1 per cent from 365 reported results, while 96 auctions were withdrawn.

Buyers paying massive premiums for waterfront properties

Image
 Waterfront homes cost more than double their inland counterparts in Sydney, while in Melbourne homes on the water attract a price premium of almost 40 per cent, new research shows. Buyers looking to snap up a home on Australia’s coastline are paying some of the highest waterfront premiums in the world, the latest Knight Frank International Waterfront Index shows. Sydney topped the index, with waterfront homes in the harbour city attracting an average premium of 121 per cent, compared to an equivalent home set away from the water. Auckland ranked second on the list of 17 international locations, with a premium of 76 per cent. It was followed by the Gold Coast (71 per cent), Perth (69 per cent) and the Cap d’Antibes peninsula (59 per cent) on the French Riviera.

From ugly duckling to Tamarama glamour as $20 million penthouses unveiled

Image
 Sydney’s newest $20 million-plus beachside apartment penthouses have finally been put back up for sale after they were abruptly pulled off the market eight months ago in a row with the NSW Building Commissioner over fire regulations. The two penthouses were built on top of a seven-level 1960s building in Tamarama as part of an ambitious scheme for their sale to finance the $50 million renovation and refurbishment of the entire 78-apartment block. Skye Tamarama – previously known as Glenview Court – has now finally received a construction certificate, following a shock stopwork order slapped on the building by the Office of the Building Commissioner in December 2021 just as it was about to be finished.

After peaking at 44 per cent growth, is Byron Bay’s property boom over?

Image
 Byron Bay’s property boom has begun to slow down, as new figures show its rate of house price growth has halved and experts say prices could plateau or fall later in the year. The regional coastal hotspot skyrocketed in popularity when the pandemic hit Australian shores in March 2020 as home buyers left the major cities in droves for warmer climates, driving prices through the roof. As a result, it consistently featured among the top areas for price growth, clocking double-digit gains within the first months of the pandemic that outpaced Sydney, and attracting celebrities and business moguls. But its rapid growth has come to an end. Byron Bay council area’s annual house price growth reached a peak of 44 per cent in the March quarter and more than halved in the year to June to a still-sizeable 19.9 per cent.
