EASTAND INNERCITY Outlook is bright if price right DEMAND for east and inner-city properties remains strong, especially near the beach or cafe precincts like Surry Hills, Paddington and Potts Point, local agents say. ‘‘There are still plenty of people coming to open inspections,’’ Raine & Horne Bondi Beach’s Mary Anne Cronin says. ‘‘Renters have been squeezed by the rising rental market and the interest rates make it attractive to buy, especially for units under $500,000 and semis under a million dollars.’’ Bresic Whitney Estate Agents’ Ivan Bresic reports some weakness in the prices of Paddington terraces last year. ‘‘There were some beautiful homes in Paddington that sold for $2.5 million and would have sold for $3 million six months earlier,’’ he says. But inner-city terraces and apartments have generally done ‘‘extremely well’’, with some of the prime art-deco apartments and character terraces being resold ‘‘without dropping in price at all’’.
