How To Add Value To Your Commercial Investment

Image
 Hi Everyone, A good way to make your commercial property appealing to tenants and buyers to get a better price is to add value. Many investors do this to get a high return on investment and it is possible with commercial real estate. All you need to do is to identify an old property in a good location and then do a complete makeover to make it appealing to renters and buyers. The building should have all the modern capabilities and sustainability features that make it at par with other high-end buildings in the vicinity. Its rental area can also be increased. Here is an article that will help you understand this well.  https://www.commercialproperty2sell.com.au/blog/2023/03/how-to-add-value-to-your-commercial-investmen.php

Image

On Wednesday Savill listed a masterpiece by New Zealand artist Charles Frederick Goldie of a portrait of an elderly Maori chieftainess estimated at $1.1 million to $1.5 million, and the next day he went to Elizabeth Bay and bought a sub-penthouse in the Kincoppal building for $8.8 million.

Image
 An entire beachside apartment block in Tamarama sold for $13 million at auction on Saturday to a buyer who plans to knock it down. The unison of the owners of four unrenovated two-bedroom apartments at 19 Dellview Street meant any buyer could demolish and rebuild. Interested parties were developers with knockdown-rebuild plans, two friends who wanted to build a house each and somebody who wanted to rent it out as is. Four parties registered to bid and two actively bid in aggressive $500,000 increments. Bidding opened at $8.8 million and the auction was all over in five minutes in front of a crowd of 50.

Global cities may hold solutions to Sydney's housing crisis, but will the Harbour City pay attention?

Image
 Renting and buying in the Harbour City has never been less affordable, but the solutions to the deepening crisis could be staring us right in the face.

House price falls ease in February with Sydney posting a rise as real estate listings dry up

Image
 A lack of properties for sale and the first rise in Sydney home prices in more than a year have stabilised real estate values across the nation. CoreLogic's Hedonic Home Value Index has recorded its smallest fall since interest rates started rising in May last year, at just 0.1 per cent for February. The rival PropTrack index, using a slightly different methodology, is even more upbeat, recording a 0.2 per cent bounce in home prices nationally last month. Both data providers say Sydney house prices drove the national result, with CoreLogic finding that they rose for the first time since January 2022, with a 0.3 per cent monthly gain.
