Directors Message

The trend to Provincial Victoria is on the move and we are experiencing an increasing demand for properties at a time when:

  1. There is a shortage of available properties in Country Victoria
  2. Rezoning of properties to alleviate the shortage of developed land is a slow and tedious process which can often take years to achieve, if at all
  3. Melbourne prices are at record highs and in most cases unaffordable to most people
  4. Country prices are currently affordable and comparatively inexpensive
  5. Interest rate increases are more likely to affect properties in Melbourne where prices have increased substantially in the last three to five years, well above the long term average. Country prices in the main have not had such large increases and are therefore set to correct the imbalance between city and country
  6. Country accessibility is improving with better roads, new freeways and very fast train project
  7. Employment and career opportunities are being decentralised to regional districts eg. SRO some other government departments, Private companies and many more
  8. Emailing, faxing, phoning, text message and computers are making traditional office attendance less and less important with more people able to work from home or out in the field
  9. Farming diversity such as olives, vines, alpaca etc. etc. are creating new opportunities for subsidising of income to may part time farmers whose main source of income is from their profession
  10. Quality of life, with a great environment and with the availability of amenities and services in regional centers and many country towns is being recognised to a greater degree by more and more people
  11. The Country is a great place to bring up children with the wide open spaces and serenity of environment
  12. Community and mateship spirit is very much alive and thriving in the Country where there is a better recognition of the advantages of helping each other
  13. State Government is encouraging people to make the move to the Country with "Make It Happen In Provincial Victoria" campaign

All of the above will impact on the price of properties in Country areas and if you buy now you will reap the rewards both in quality of life and in the increasing value of your investment.
