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 />

hom omeb ebuy uyer ers.<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 />
