See you over the Labour Day long weekend.

For those that have followed the development of Erskine House “Mantra” in Lorne over the past 9 years, you may have noticed the volatility of the movements of the apartments. 2001 – 2002 saw an absolute “feeding frenzy” of buyers basically purchasing the entire complex (360 apartments) over the time frame of a year.

As the market turned by early 2004 and plateaued for the last 6 years, pre-sales have been extremely difficult to negotiate.

The trend has changed! 5 transactions have taken place this month and 11 since December. Simply put there is some unprecedented buying opportunity in this development and provides “would be buyers” to enter the Lorne market at atypical price points compared to residential property.

Please be aware the levels of return per annum are negligible and capital growth over the past 9 years has been negative. This is a lifestyle purchase not an investment decision. This position is brilliant and the facilities are unique to the area. At the current asking price for a large sample of apartment sizes (studio, 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom), it presents as a great opportunity to gain a foot hold in the “blue chip Lorne Market”.

Below is an extract from leading demographer Bernard Salt, as written in the Herald-Sun on Saturday, January 30 when asked ‘What will be the next big sea change location?’

“The biggest change over the last year with regards to access to sea change locations has been the ring road around Geelong. In one fell swoop 23 sets of traffic lights between Corio and Grovedale/Waurn Ponds have been eliminated. It is now possible for the Melbourne market to access weekenders between Torquay and Lorne more quickly. I’d watch places like Jan Juc, Anglesea and Fairhaven”.
