Many home buyers tend to overlook Thorneside. But if you want a secluded seaside home nearest to Brisbane CBD, Thorneside is where you’ll find the hidden gems. It’s a great alternative to Manly or Wynnum. However, to make this bayside locale your home, you will need patience and a buyers’ agent in Thorneside. You need industry insiders to help you score a great investment.
And Tracey Chandler is that buyers’ agent you need.
Let Tracey Chandler score the Thorneside home of your dreams.
Nestled between the suburbs of Birkdale and Ransome, Thorneside is the smallest locale in all of Redland City. Despite being near Brisbane, it has managed to look and feel as rural as the Redland suburbs to the south. There are fewer residents and lots of traffic-free and tree-lined streets for you to bike through. You have easy access to the mangrove-heavy shore facing Moreton Bay or Tingalpa Creek where you can kayak or fish.
But that also means fewer homes. There are only about 50-70 properties up for sale in Thorneside at any given time. Many of these homes won’t match what you want or need. And for the few that do, you will be facing stiff competition from other buyers who can quote or bid a higher price.
So here’s how Tracey Chandler can get around these limitations and find you the best Thorneside property for your needs.
1. Tracey can get to Thorneside sellers’ agents ahead of the other buyers.
Tracey has been a professional property buyers’ agent and Redlands homeowner for many years. She’s familiar with all of the bayside suburbs and has trusted contacts within the local property markets. As a result, she can locate available Thorneside properties through her contacts before sellers publicly list them for sale — and thus, before other buyers are even aware they are there.
Getting to a Thorneside property while it’s still officially off-market is important. Because by the time a seller’s agent has posted property photos and walkthrough videos online for everyone to see, the seller will have already received a handful of other buyers’ offers. Inevitably there will be buyers who are willing and able to quote a price higher than the median for a typical Thorneside home. Come late into the game and you will have a harder time securing a property at a more reasonable cost.
2. Tracey will protect you from a potential profit loss.
While it’s still not as popular as other bayside suburbs, Thorneside isn’t as affordable as it used to be 5-7 years ago.
Thorneside homes are already going for anywhere from $850,000 to a million. And thanks to its great location and natural beauty, Thorneside’s property prices will go even higher in the next few years. Homeowners here see as much as a 61.9% capital gain in as little as five years.
But to realise profit like this, make sure the home you invest in has issues that will give you major inconveniences or a dent in your future income. For instance:
- You may be dreaming of having a home with immediate access to Moreton Bay or the boat ramp by Tingalpa Creek. But are you ready to deal with the costs of possible property damage from floods or storm tides? While extremely heavy rains don’t occur yearly, properties near the Tingalpa Creek and along Queens Esplanade’s exposed foreshore do face the highest risk of getting inundated. This may worsen with climate change.
- The shoreline at Thorneside isn’t a sandy beach. Instead, it’s lined with mangroves. If your home is too close to them, you may have to deal with the legions of biting midges during certain times of the year. This is a serious issue in Thorneside. You’ll need to make sure the home you purchase is adequately designed to minimise the chances of these insects coming indoors and making your life miserable.
- While Redland City is determined to preserve as much of Moreton Bay’s natural beauty, Thorneside residents have begun noticing that some older homes are being pulled down and replaced with denser housing (i.e., townhouses and apartment units). Would living near these real estate developments raise your property’s value in the future? Or would you rather live in another location? If you do not consider this, you may come to regret your investment.
- As always, there will be properties that are hiding bad construction or location issues. The sellers’ agents are skilled in hyping up their client’s home, and may convincingly present a starting price that’s actually well above its actual market value. If you don’t have the same experienced eye that Tracey has to discern if what you’re seeing is a potentially bad deal, you could end up living with a home that’s a financial money pit
This is where Tracey comes in. You can rely on her experience in discerning which homes will make a great investment. If she sees one that’s problematic, she’ll keep it out of your list of properties to consider.
3. Tracey will effectively negotiate the best price for you.
How long do Thorneside properties stay on the market before getting sold? Depending on a home’s quality and specific location, it may stay on the market for as long as 30 days or as briefly as a week!
That’s because the quality of Thorneside properties that are up for sale also varies greatly. Some homes are well-maintained or newly renovated. Others are older and in decent condition, but with deal-breaking issues — like a cramped layout that doesn’t create passive cooling during Queensland’s warmest months or poorly-chosen building materials for dealing with sea air.
That variation in quality will become a point of stress for you if you decide to deal with Thornside sellers on your own. So save yourself from the stress and get Tracey Chandler to be your advocate at negotiations. Because:
- Tracey’s contacts among the sellers’ agents in the bayside area will recommend only the properties that best suit your brief and pass your quality standards (as well as Tracey’s).
- Tracey is also known in the housing property industry as a fierce advocate for her clients. She is an experienced and formidable negotiator and auction bidder.
