💡 Tailored Advice
Personalised guidance for every role in this market.
🧑💼 Buyer Strategy
- Prioritize homes on the eastern side of the suburb to maximize distance from the airport boundary.
- Check the specific ANEF (noise) contours for any property before signing.
- Look for homes with double-glazed windows or existing soundproofing upgrades.
- Negotiate harder on properties with visible 'step cracking' in brickwork, common in this soil type.
- Focus on properties within walking distance to Greenway Park Public to maximize resale value.
- Verify if the property is in a bushfire-prone zone as this affects insurance and renovation costs.
❓ Questions to Ask the Agent
- Is this property located within the 20 or 25 ANEF noise contour for the new airport?
- Has the home had any history of structural movement or slab heave?
- What are the specific bushfire construction requirements (BAL rating) for this lot?
- Are there any planned road widenings for Fifteenth Avenue nearby?
- What is the current school catchment boundary for Greenway Park Public?
- How many offers have been received from owner-occupiers versus investors?
- Is the property currently under a flight path for the 24-hour runway operations?
