STANDING OUT FROM THE<br />
CROWD IN YOUR STREET<br />
Award winning National Homes has been<br />
acknowledged as a leader in terms of<br />
modern and functional housing designs. And<br />
if you want <strong>to</strong> live in <strong>the</strong> opulence of a National<br />
Home, you don’t need <strong>to</strong> move out <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> outer<br />
suburbs or build on a smaller block.<br />
According <strong>to</strong> Jenny Wong, Brand Manager of<br />
leading builder National Homes, “Building activity<br />
in <strong>the</strong> inner <strong>to</strong> middle city belt is on <strong>the</strong> increase,<br />
not just in terms of unit development, but also in<br />
<strong>the</strong> knockdown and rebuild arena”.<br />
National Homes has seen an increase in activity<br />
from cus<strong>to</strong>mers building within <strong>the</strong> 20km radius<br />
from <strong>the</strong> Perth CBD. “People are increasingly<br />
realizing that <strong>the</strong>y no longer need <strong>to</strong> buy land in <strong>the</strong><br />
outer new land developments <strong>to</strong> enjoy <strong>the</strong> benefi ts<br />
of living in a National Home. The knockdown and<br />
rebuild scenario is on <strong>the</strong> increase, both among<br />
existing home owners and new home owners”,<br />
Jenny said.<br />
So where is this trend occurring? “We’re seeing<br />
a lot of activity in <strong>the</strong> middle north-western and<br />
north-eastern corridors. Particularly in areas such<br />
Evergreen is our unique, new Eco-Precinct of just fifty-four, 313m²<br />
<strong>to</strong> 636m² homesites within <strong>the</strong> nor<strong>the</strong>rn beaches’ best resourced,<br />
established community.<br />
Each new resident will receive a substantial $27,000 Eco-Package<br />
including a solar water heater, a 2kW pho<strong>to</strong>-voltaic power unit,<br />
Waterwise landscaping, fibre-optic connection <strong>to</strong> Telstra Velocity,<br />
and quality timber fencing.<br />
It will enable you <strong>to</strong> reduce ongoing power and water usage costs.<br />
Evergreen also offers <strong>the</strong> magnificent local lagoon and beaches,<br />
<strong>the</strong> 18-hole golf course, marina, National Park, schools, shops and<br />
beautifully landscaped parks.<br />
Land and New Development<br />
as Carine, Duncraig, Hillarys and Greenwood,<br />
which are all established areas close <strong>to</strong> beaches,<br />
transport, schools and shopping centres, you see<br />
a lot of older homes being demolished, with new<br />
ones being built.<br />
“National Homes is The Leader in<br />
terms of stunning front elevations<br />
and modern living spaces”<br />
Not everybody wants <strong>to</strong> live on a small block or<br />
in a two-s<strong>to</strong>rey home. And with block sizes in this<br />
area being large and still affordable, people are<br />
opting for larger single s<strong>to</strong>rey homes on larger<br />
blocks that afford a backyard for families and<br />
entertaining.”<br />
According <strong>to</strong> Jenny, “Existing home owners are<br />
realizing that, in a lot of cases, it is much more<br />
time and cost effective <strong>to</strong> knockdown and rebuild,<br />
as opposed <strong>to</strong> conducting a major renovation.<br />
Plus, you get <strong>the</strong> benefi t of building a modern<br />
home designed for <strong>to</strong>day’s lifestyle, and a stunning<br />
elevation that really stands out.”<br />

The trend is also so s extending ex exte tend ndin ing <strong>to</strong> new ew homebuyers.<br />

People wanting <strong>to</strong> live in modern homes, but don’t<br />
want <strong>the</strong> headache of traveling each day <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> city,<br />
are buying older 1970’s vintage homes with <strong>the</strong> view<br />
<strong>to</strong> demolishing and rebuilding. “Feedback that we<br />
have received from real estate agents in <strong>the</strong> area<br />
shows that up <strong>to</strong> 50% of people visiting <strong>the</strong> older<br />
style 1970’s, 3x1, mission brown and face brick<br />
properties in <strong>the</strong> north-west corridor are intending <strong>to</strong><br />
knockdown and rebuild. It’s <strong>the</strong> large yet affordable<br />
blocks that attract <strong>the</strong>m. You can still get around<br />
700 square metres of land, with a livable home, for<br />
around $550,000, and still be two kilometers from<br />
<strong>the</strong> beach and still very close <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> CBD”.<br />
National Homes is The Leader in terms of stunning<br />
front elevations and modern living spaces. “We were<br />
<strong>the</strong> fi rst <strong>to</strong> use <strong>the</strong> term ‘Stand out from <strong>the</strong> crowd’<br />
and this truly describes what we’re about. With<br />
models priced from $200,000, we can help make<br />
people become leaders in <strong>the</strong>ir neighbourhoods”.<br />
