17.01.2022 BRISBANE MARKET WRAP Brisbane's property market outlook has improved vastly in recent weeks as Covid-19 restrictions ease. The full impact of the economic shutdown was evident in the June quarter. Sales activity, listings and clearance rates fell in April rebounding by June. Confidence has lifted from the April lows, vendors have returned, and more buyers think now is a good time to purchase (nationally rising to a six-month high). Covid-19 has also opened discussions for the government to undertake significant economic reform including the issue of stamp duty. If stamp duty is abolished it could have a positive impact on sales activity. Demand could be further fuelled by Australia's success in dealing with the global pandemic compared to other countries, making it an attractive destination to reside.

14.01.2022 Like many of our favourite annual events, fireworks spectacular Riverfire is firmly off the cards for 2020and considering we avoid it like the plague most year...s because of the crowds, were definitely not surprised it didnt make the new socially distanced Brisbane Festival cut. But if youre one of the avid fans who stakes out a grassy vantage point by mid-morning every year, youll be happy to know that you dont have to accept a September without any light-related entertainment. Brisbane Festival has found another way for us to enjoy the skies, with the Sunsuper Night Sky set to light up the city skyline during September. Acting as a literal light at the end of the tunnel, the show will be a large-scale laser, light and sound extravaganza, with beams of light shining up from over a dozen buildings across the city, all designed by acclaimed audio-visual artist Robin Fox. As if that wasnt enough, the show is set to an ethereal soundtrack, which you can catch by tuning in to Triple M while the lights are ablaze. Bonus, instead of a one-off event, the Sunsuper Night Sky will be a weekly occurrence over the course of the festival, which means you can catch the interconnecting and pulsing laser beam experience every Friday and Saturday night between September 426, from 7pm to 9pm. If youre up to it, you can glimpse the show from several self-guided viewing trails across the city, with trail maps downloadable from here in September. Personally, we recommend finding a table somewhere with a view for the ultimate experienceglass of bubbly optional. Love a good view? Gaze at the Story Bridge from one of these pop up igloo bars.

10.01.2022 ________________________________________ MARKET WRAP The economic downturn caused by COVID-19 is likely to be less severe than initially expected. As a result, business and consumer confidence has rebounded significantly. But economic conditions are still subdued, with the unemployment rate likely to remain elevated until at least 2021. The key to a sustained recovery will be whether the economy can reopen without significant COVID-19 outbreaks. The outlook for Brisbane's pr...operty market has also improved. User engagement on Domain has risen substantially since April and more people are attending open for inspections. Potential buyers are still cautious but confidence is rising. Price falls have been modest and the proportion of listings being discounted has fallen after rising sharply in March. Sales volumes are low but are trending up. One important factor supporting Brisbane's property prices is that there has not been a rise in the number of forced or distressed sales. Brisbane's rental market has stabilised but it remains a tenant's market. The rental vacancy rate fell in May, after a big rise in April, as demand for rentals increased and as homes were moved from the long-term rental market back to the short-term rental market in anticipation of a domestic tourism boom.

10.01.2022 FREE WEBINAR Investors who try to self-manage their properties represent an extreme example of false economy. Wednesday 20th May... 12.30pm QLD / NSW / VIC / ACT / TAS 12 noon SA / NT 10.30am WA No sensible investor would attempt to maintain an investment property without appointing a professional property manager. And right now, more than ever before, having a skilled manager on the team is crucial. The upheaval caused by the covid-19 impact has turned the relationship between landlords and tenants upside down. State governments have been changing laws on the run, often without thinking through the consequences. Not only are the rules changing overnight, but every state and territory has its own unique set of laws. If you’re an investor with properties in different areas of the nation, how can you stay abreast of everything you need to know? The consequences of getting it wrong can be severe. Some investors have acted in haste, without accessing professional advice, and have made their situations worse. The things investors need to keep up with include these: Have the rules changed recently in the area where you own property (the answer, almost certainly, is yes)? Are your tenants in trouble and, if so, how best to handle the situation? What are your rights if your tenants are impacted by the virus crisis and can’t pay the rent? How can you be proactive in engaging with tenants to head off problems before they occur? As an investor, you can’t afford wrong answers to these and other key questions.

06.01.2022 Media Statements Premier and Minister for Trade The Honourable Annastacia Palaszczuk Wednesday, August 05, 2020 Queensland border closed... Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has announced the border with New South Wales will close. As of 1am, Saturday August 8, all visitors will be denied entry except for rare exemptions, and returning Queenslanders will have to pay for 14 days mandatory hotel quarantine. Queenslands Chief Health Officer has declared all of New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory as hotspots. The Premier said the hard border closure put Queenslanders first. I said that when the moment came, I would not hesitate, the Premier said. That moment has arrived. Victoria hasnt improved as we hoped and I wont wait for New South Wales to get any worse. I will not risk our states economic recovery by allowing COVID to spread. I will do everything I can to protect Queenslanders and the economy. Only residents of border communities and essential workers, such as truck drivers, will be able to cross the border. Exemptions including for compassionate reasons - will be limited. Passes for border communities will be for those with proof of address and photo ID. The Premier said providing notice gave people time to plan. Deputy Premier and Health Minister Steven Miles said recent examples showed a blatant disregard for the law. The selfish and reckless actions of a few people are putting the safety of our community at risk and threatening to undo all of the good work of Queenslanders so far, Mr Miles said. I urge Queenslanders not to travel interstate; the risks are too great. Stay in Queensland and stay safe. The Premier said the border closure would be reviewed at the end of the month.

04.01.2022 KELVIN GROVE RENTAL MARKET SNAPSHOT The inner-city unit market is impacted most by COVID with Hotels, and Airbnb forced to convert from short term to long term accommodation which diluted the market with an influx of stock, making supply far outstrip demand. With unforeseen circumstances outside our control, we’re providing facts and data so you can make educated, well-informed and strategic decisions. KEY STATS:... - The following statistics apply to Units in KELVIN GROVE - Median Days on Market is 46 days vs. Brisbane 23 days - Kelvin Groves Vacancy Rate of 4.9% vs Brisbane’s 2.2% (Carseldine 1.1%) - Median Asking Rent for KELVIN GROVE is $402 per week vs. Brisbane $400 - 123 units presently advertised for rent - Median Asking Rents & Indicative Gross Rental Yield dropped off (Image CoreLogic) KEY POINTS: - Rent Determines if a property Rents or Not - Supply and Demand Controls Rents - Investors Must List At Market Value* *WHAT IS MARKET VALUE: The highest price a Ready, Willing and Able ‘Tenant’ will pay, when not forced to ‘rent’ from a Ready, Willing and Able ‘Investor’ not forced to ‘Rent’ for a property that has been adequately Exposed to the Open Market. Spencer vs. The Commonwealth 1907 (‘sales’ references converted to ‘rental’). THE RENTAL COMPARISON CASE STUDY (Image Bluestone) - Highlights the difference between pricing strategies, e.g. - The cheaper a rental is, the quicker it will rent shortening the vacancy period and loss of rent. - Lower rent = shorter vacancy period = more income, i.e. lower rent = high occupancy = higher returns/yield - Vs. - Expensive rentals take longer to rent, increasing the vacancy period and loss of rent. - Higher rent = longer vacancy period = less income, i.e. higher rent = low occupancy = lower yields/returns

04.01.2022 THE BIGGEST MISTAKE MOST LANDLORDS MAKE IS CHOOSING AN AGENCY BASED ON FEES! CASE STUDY: While our fees appear to be higher, they are open transparent and honest with no hidden surprises. As a second-generation agent with over 21 years, hands-on experience I know from a lot of knowledge that the cheap discount agencies only charging 6.6% are either hide additional fees in the fine print or dont disclose them at all. Is this the type of business you want managing a property w...orth $450,000? You cant compare agencies by the fee they charge because our fee of 8.8% of $400 is cheaper that your Sydney agent who charges 5.5% of about $650pw ($400 x 8.8% = $32 vs $650 x 5% = $35.75) The difference between 8.8% and 6.6% is only $5pw or $260pa, and based on the actuals below a cheap agent can end up costing you a lot more than $260: - Since acquiring the property, Bald Hills median rents have declined $30 per week from $430 to $400 with yields falling from 5.1% to 4.5%. (refer to attached image from CoreLogics RP Data). Regardless, the team at Bluestone managed to increase the rent $20 per week from $380 to $400 putting an extra $1,040 pa in your pocket. - Over the past 2 years, Bluestones management has retained the tenant resulting in 100%. Brisbanes agencies average days on the market for Townhouses in 23 days, so a vacancy period from a change in tenancy at $400 per week could have cost you $1,314. - No Letting Fee - A change in tenancies would have resulted in a letting fee equal to 1 weeks rent + GST = $440 Bluestone does not charge you a monthly admin fee like most agencies: $5 - $15pm = $60 - $180. - No lease renewal fees Most agencies charge owners a fee of between $50 - $100 every time the lease is renewed. - Unlike most other agencies, Bluestone does not charge you Court fees at $100 - $200 per hour plus travel and parking. Bluestone only offer a competitive rate upfront, so you are already on an excellent deal for the level of service and professionalism you receive. We dont create a false economy by advertising high fees only to discount. We typically only ever reduce our fees if we are managing multiple properties or receive referrals from you. It would be uneconomical for us to pay an experienced and professional property manager and for quality platforms for any less than 7.99% / $29pw. As Ive also said, we will make you a lot more money that you are trying to save! Who else do you know that owns investment in Brisbane? If you decide to go purely on cheaper fees, then we know youll be back, but unfortunately, the transition disrupts and dislodge tenants causing owner unnecessary financial loss.
