SWANBOURNE and Applecrosshomes are the slowest to sell in theState.

According to new figures by realestate experts RP Data, homes inthese areas take longer to sell thanany other suburb, and are heavilydiscounted in a bid to entice buyers.

On average, it takes about 138days to sell a home in Applecross, and134 days to sell a home inSwanbourne.

In addition to the lengthy wait,residents are slashing their prices byup to 13.7 per cent of the originalasking price.

Given the median price inApplecross is over $1.6 million, thatequates to a discount of about$200,000.

Victoria Park, Yokine and HamiltonHill are also among the slower sellingsuburbs.

Meanwhile, the data shows homesin more affordable suburbs such asWarwick, Padbury and Lockridge sell

within 39-45 days and for a discountof about $20,000.

Janey Sanderson from PaxtonHoad said this was evidence the topend of the market was still recoveringfrom the global financial crisis (GFC).

“In my opinion, the top end of themarket rose higher in ’06 and ’07, andsubsequently fell further in ’08, andbecause of the effect of the GFC itsrecovery has been slower in ’09-’10with buyers demonstrating this by notpaying the asking prices,’’ she said.

REIWA was not surprised themore expensive homes were takinglonger to sell, as this had always beenthe case, particularly in the westernsuburbs, because a more expensiveproperty took longer to settle and itcould take longer to raise the highfinance.

The Property Exchange directorNiki Peinke said while the higherproperties were still taking longer tosell, the market was very strong andbalanced now.

“If a property is not selling, themost probable reason is that it isoverpriced in the current market,’’she said.

“Although the outlook is verypositive for our property future,there is still a little reticence amongpeople in general to pay too high aprice in case the GFC decides torevisit.’’ ■

STRONG demand for riverside locations anda more buoyant real estate market haveprompted the release of an additional seven lotsat one of Perth’s most sought-after addresses.

The lots – at LandCorp’s Minim Cove estatein Mosman Park – range in size from 416sq m to505sq m, with prices starting at $1.1million.

Knight Frank’s Graeme Kiddey said sales atMinim Cove had been strong since mid-2009,with a high level of enquiry and buyer interest.

“Buyers wanting to move into larger homesor upsize have been able to sell established

homes, given a more invigorated real estatemarket in general,’’ he said.

“Minim Cove is a popular choice, as it is closeto some of Perth’s leading schools, sporting andrecreation facilities, in addition to itspicturesque location on the Swan River.’’

Construction of additional lots willcommence mid-year, with more lots expectedto be market-ready in 2011.

NEDLANDS is showing great signs

of recovery, after figures released by

real estate experts RP Data indicate

sales volumes in the million-dollar

plus sector are almost double that of

2008.

Analysis of the nation’s premium

property market has revealed sales

volumes in Nedlands and Cottesloe

were on the rise.

Last year house sales in Nedlands

for the $1m-plus sector was 122,

compared to 67 in 2008 and 116 in

2007.

Cottesloe recorded an almost 50

per cent increase on the previous

year, but still 15 short of its 2007

record.

Meanwhile, the seemingly never-

ending building of apartment

buildings in East Perth topped the

State for sales of $1m-plus units.

The suburb shared the honour

with South Perth, on 33 sales.

The number of East Perth sales

was also a record for the suburb,

beating the previous best of 32, in

2007.

RP Data national research

director Tim Lawless said Australia’s

premium property market had had a

wild ride over the past three years

“As the global financial crisis

kicked in and started to bite with

shares and property being sold off to

recoup further portfolio losses,

values across this same set of

premium suburbs fell by 7.4 per cent

compared with a 2.5 per cent fall in

all home values,’’ he said.

According to Mr Lawless’ findings,

the premium housing market turned

in 2009 and values rebounded by a

stunning 12.1 per cent over the

calendar year compared with an 11.3

per cent gain across the broader

market. ■

THERE are so many areas to enjoy in thisCottesloe home that choosing just one at a timewould be difficult.

Luckily, the design allows individual spaces tointegrate and separate accordingly.

The stunning home is an entertainment retreatdivided into six separate living zones.

The open-plan living area covers the entireground floor.

A grassy terrace steps up to a massive cedar-lined patio, which overlooks the street.

Stepping inside, the kitchen and dining are wellpositioned for entertaining.

The highest quality appliances – such as a Smegespresso machine – have been selected for thegalley kitchen.

Further along, the lounge area is flanked bycommercial stack-back glass doors, which openout to another cedar-lined alfresco area andcerulean lap pool.

Tactically placed frangipani trees give thisoutdoor area a resort style feel.

The home was designed by architect JohnLewis, who has conceived the ultimate insophisticated living.

An apartment-sized master suite is at the rearof the home. It has its own balcony and privateaccess to the pool.

Its ensuite features double vanities and anenormous shower.

Back in the main living area, a long Travertinewall travels up to the first level where there arethree bedrooms with a powder room andbathroom as well as a spacious second living area,ideal for children to escape to.

With its laid-back Hollywood Hills feel,architect John Lewis has created California meetsCottesloe. ■

Grand degrees of stylish separationFLOREAT is renowned for beautiful homesset back among large flourishing greengardens, and this Clanmel Road residence isno exception.

The unique home was built in the 1960s.Previous owners added a second storey

but when the current owners purchased it,they called in an architect-builder tomodernise it into a stylish family home.

With four young daughters, the ownerswanted separation of adults’ and children’sareas, which they achieved with a masterwing on the lower level and separate

children’s activity room.The master wing includes a bedroom and

bathroom plus a dressing room or guestbedroom.

The heart of the home comprises thelounge, dining and kitchen with commercialbifold doors on either end opening out tofront and rear entertaining decks.

The front overlooks an expansive terracedgarden, created by Tim Davies Landscapingand features an enormous lawn areabordered by ornamental pear trees as well asa charming cubby house.

The rear timber deck is amazing andfeatures a curved canopy roof and aglass balustrade, which leads on to astriking swimming pool and contemporarywaterfall.

A burgeoned jasmine creeper along therear border of the property creates astunning backdrop for this beautifullydesigned space.

The sleek kitchen features rock mapletimber cabinets and Caeserstone bench tops.

Upstairs, there are four light-filledbedrooms and one bathroom.

There is also an executive study on theground floor featuring a custom-made desk.

Adjacent to the downstairs family room isa wine cellar, large storeroom and a laundryfitted with rock maple cabinets opening to adedicated utility area.

Electronic gates to the garden and doublecarport secure the 1032sqm property andthere is a monitored security system.

There is a wonderful tranquillity to thisFloreat residence, which one would imaginewould make it very hard to ever leave.

Spectacular visioncomes to pass

BEFORE she had even bought it, Victoria Cole knew what she wantedto do with this East Fremantle home. The architect said it was easy tovisualize the result when you are your own client.

Victoria and her partner Don Fini bought the original 1960s, two-bedroom home in 2000.

Within two years, the property had been transformed into a strikingand contemporary two-level home with a commanding presence.

The striking white facade features a sleek flat-lined roof with floor toceiling glass windows, set against a verdant front garden with a whitefrangipani tree positioned perfectly to the left.

Inside, the home draws inspiration from the ’60s. The original house forms the first floor, which is used as a secondary

living area and guest wing. Victoria and Don retained timber kitchen cupboards and wardrobes

from the old house and used them in the renovation, adding a warm,retro feel to the downstairs interior.

Sliding doors open out to a concrete terraced back yard withbeautiful landscaping and a cerulean coloured plunge pool.

The second storey is the heart of the home and where the realmasterpiece lies. Tallow wood flooring flows throughout the upperlevel, which is designed around a unique central balcony, enclosed onthree sides by multi-stack glass doors.

When the doors are retracted, the balcony becomes an integratedindoor and outdoor space with sweeping vistas over a parkland reserveto the river. Remarkable in design and functionality, this residence istestimony to Victoria’s work. ■

Down a private laneway adjoining a reserve, it is alsoclose to the town centre, writes SAMANTHA JONES

AS an interior designer who has worked allover the world and been exposed to differentelements of the industry, Hazel Hunter knowsgood design.

Three years ago, she opened the doors toHunter Adams, a showroom of internationalluxury furniture, fabrics, curtains, wallpaper,lighting and bespoke rugs designed by thecompany.

The range of products is exclusive, extensiveand eclectic, sourced from Hazel’s regular tripsoverseas.

“I always return so inspired from Europeand America,” she said.

“I love interesting pieces.“I saw an opportunity to bring something

new into WA and I took it.”The Ireland-born designer has worked in the

Middle East and New Zealand, where she wasexposed to the fine craftsmanship ofinternational brands.

Renowned names such as TheodoreAlexander, Fine Art lamps, Christopher Guy,Chelini and Willem Smith are amongst the linesshe carries.

The range encompasses a mix of diversestyles, chosen from all pockets of the globe.

But the Hunter Adams philosophy goes

further – if they do not have what a client islooking for, they will source it, and if what aclient is looking for has not yet been designed,they will make it.

Hazel said the bespoke furniture and interiordesign service offered were equally asimportant as the furniture she stocks.

“Design is exciting,” she said.“Your home should be exciting.“It should be full of different pieces that have

been put together but are sensitive to oneanother.

“Essentially it should all flow.”Hazel said one of the most fundamental

aspects to her business was listening to clientsand understanding their personalities.

“That’s what excites me, seeing it all evolve.”While most of Hunter Adams clients are

locals from the Western Suburbs, Hazel saidthe store had a following in the country too,with many clients from Kalgoorlie andGeraldton making the trip to Perth to visit theshowroom.

“Many come in to just have a coffee andchat,” she said.

“I’m lucky; I get to work with gorgeousfurniture and beautiful clients.” ■
