Artist’s representation.AV Jennings pre-planned homesAV JENNINGS…Investors are captivatedwith AVJennings pre-planned homes andprecincts, with figures showing more than50 per cent of the company’s pre-plannedhomes being bought by investors.An increasing number of interstate buyersare attracted to South Australian real estategiven the rate of affordability and attractivemedian house prices compared to ourEastern states counterparts, and many localsare choosing pre-planned homes assound investment options.AVJennings executive general manager PeterJackson said many people are maximizingthe opportunity of pre-planned homesby renting them in the short term with a longterm view to moving in and making themhome at a later date, finding that pre-plannedhomes are the hassle-free option to owninga brand new home.“Pre-planned precincts are attractive to thediscerning buyer because they are completelydesigned and built, in a controlledand landscaped environment, with every elementconsidered from the interiorpaintwork to the irrigation system in thegarden for that increasingly popular, lowmaintenance lifestyle,” said Mr Jackson.“Popular in the UK and the United States,pre-planned precincts are becoming betterknown and accepted in Australia and are oneof the thriving living options of the future.”Mr Jackson said pre-planned townhousesand terraces continue to prove popular withinvestors, and that sometimes it is moreabout the investment potential and the location,than the house type.“When people weigh up the benefits of apre-planned home compared to buying establishedproperty or building a new home,the pre-planned option tends to come outahead of the rest.“With superior designs, perfect for today’slifestyles, with everything already thoughtof from the functionality of the floor designsthrough to the inclusions and finishes,right down to the landscaping.”AVJennings is leading the way with pre-plannedliving, with terraces, townhouses, warehousesand single and two storey homes among its varietyof precincts on offer.Often located in near-city pockets of land inestablished locations, many new precincts arealso created among master-planned developments,offering a stylish and exclusive alternativefor quality housing.Pre-planned precincts located within Northgatehave been experiencing significant investmentreturns as the new, award winning suburb becomesa thriving, established neighbourhood.According to recent figures supplied by theValuer General, Land Services Group, medianhouse prices within Northgate have increasedalmost 15 per cent over the last year, while landwithin Northgate has experienced growth of justover 40 per cent.Neighbouring Northfield has also enjoyedbuoyant times influenced by the success andfinale of Northgate with median house pricesincreasing over 25 per cent.“Land and home values have continuallystrengthened at Northgate over the years,” explainedMr Jackson.“Capital growth in the suburb has been one ofthe state’s best performing. With all land allotmentswithin Northgate released and only halfa dozen still available, the only remaining opportunityto move up to the new suburb isthrough investing in a pre-planned home orhouse and land package.”AVJennings’ pre-planned projects under wayinclude the Aviator precinct at Northgate – a22-dwelling precinct featuring terraces,townhouses and warehouses; Folland Place adjacentto Northgate – a 18 townhouse precinctset around a secluded landscaped courtyard;and a new project at Glynde, where 34 homeswill be built around a central reserve, creatingan exclusive and modern alternative in an establishedarea.To find out more about AVJennings range ofpre-planned homes, call 131 878.property spotlight - Peter Tonkin RealtyBEENHAMELITEServices & AgenciesSpecialisingin HomeImprovements& Renovations• Kitchen and bathroomrefurbishments• Fencing • Carpentry • Cabinetmaking• Plumbing and Gas fitting • Electrical• Carpet/Vinyl floor coverings• Painting • Refrigeration• Air conditioner installation, serviceand repairs • Tiling • Glass/GlazingAnd all other general household repairsPh: 8671 1234Fax: 8671 2823 • Mobile: 0407 711 23421 Gosse StreetRoxby Downs SA 5725bbeenham@bigpond.net.auBLD - 173944PETER TONKIN REALTY...Coobowie - Lot 21, HickeysDrive.PETER TONKIN REALTY...
