EPISODE TRANSCRIPT

Paige
What’s the market looking like at the moment for how in-demand houses are? This is what’s available in the market going.

Aaron
All right, guys, welcome back to the Property Pod, your weekly engagement into real estate here in the Hobart marketplace. I’m your host Aaron Horne and it brings me great delight to be here for our Christmas spectacular.

John
Yeah.

Aaron
You good?

John
That’s. That’s how I celebrate Christmas these days. Nothing to do with bells this year.

Aaron
Yeah. Look, we didn’t think we were going to get here, and it has been hectic. We were just off Mike talking about how crazy the last few months have been. Pat You might notice John is in Pat’s seat over here. He’s not here.

John
He’s away. I don’t take this for granted. I feel it’s a privilege.

Aaron
Yeah. So, yeah. Shout out to our director who is in Queensland. Spend some time with his family up there and yeah, so he’s not here today. So. Johnny Mack. Yes. Normally we bring out big guns for the Christmas extravaganza, don’t we? Run us through what’s happened in the previous Christmas years?

John
Well, we’ve always been able to rely on a certain family figure who just happens to be way more famous than I am. However, he couldn’t be couldn’t make it down in time this year.

Aaron
And I’m okay with that because I’ve gone big.

John
And that’s what I.

Aaron
Thought. Yeah, I’ve got to pick a run.

John
And travelled infinitely longer as well.

Aaron
Is it further? Yeah.

John
Yeah, yep.

Aaron
Okay.

John
Because he’s, he’s based in Melbourne Central so.

Aaron
Yeah. So yeah. Well you know we’ve had to cover the cost of the car rod and the guys look shout out to shout out to our guest today who has come into the studio to join in for availability. What’s that word for frivolity. Yeah, that’s the word. Yeah. So we’ve got a Christmas guest and like, I don’t know if people will be able to guest, but she’s very special.

Aaron
She’s been with us since day one, probably our number one fan throughout the gamut of the 146 episodes of the Puppy Pod, 36 of which came out this year. We almost hit a weekly target, but we did have some time off in there, here and there. We you know, life happens. The 36 episodes of the year, pretty good.

Aaron
Throwing it over to would you guess patron Bendigo. Hey hey welcome to the property pod page from Bendigo.

Paige
Thank you. Merry Christmas.

Aaron
Merry Christmas to you.

Paige
Adding to the air invested.

Aaron
I went for the really long intro, really wanted to build the suspense and I really wanted to draw it out as much as I can because that way I don’t have to talk about real estate and the other ways we’re building and we’re building and we’ve got Page, welcome to the show. Can you give us a rundown page of firstly, how did you find yourself a fan of this crazy, crazy show?

Aaron
And then how did you find yourself in the studio? Tell us all about Page from Bendigo.

John
Genuine Market Research.

Paige
Now here, huge fan, huge fan. Not a local obviously did grow up in Tasmania though. So Tasmania is very close to my heart. I am actually the cousin of Arron’s partner Sarah.

Aaron
The infamous Sarah heard this morning when I mentioned the page was coming on the show. She’s like, I would never talks about me on the podcast. And Paige replied with, Yeah.

Paige
Well, I did tell her that she is mentioned. Yes, multiple times. Yeah. As the baby mama.

Aaron
Yeah, yeah. And the love of my life. Let it be known.

John
Exactly, exactly. So Sarah Stern noticed, stammers.

Aaron
Yes. So you are a cousin of my beautiful partner, Sarah. You were born here in Tassie, but Jeff and you have the Bendigo and you still listen to this Tasmanian podcast on real estate.

Paige
Absolutely, yeah. Inspiring. I’m in the car lot for work, so I works out really well. It’s a tune in quite regularly.

John
Yeah. I couldn’t think of a better way to pass it on myself. Honestly, silently, listening to the listening to my own voice. I find it very, very calming.

Paige
What of it? We hear you down there, down the hall. Well, hang.

John
On. I know that voice.

Aaron
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I hear that when I’m driving down the road scoring or whatever.

Paige
Yeah.

Aaron
Sorry. Now we need to throw to so. Yeah. Just give us just before we go any further into the show, maybe give us your real estate story like are you a homeowner on the mainland? Patron Bendigo or are you looking to buy down this way or well hit us with your property story if you don’t mind.

Paige
Yes, I am a homeowner in Bendigo. My partner grew up there so we’ve I’ve lived there now for around ten years. I moved up there to study speech pathology, university medical I with ginger hair and the rest is history. We married a couple of months ago and yeah, we’ve got a two bedroom, two bathroom, not a huge amount of space.

Paige
I will admit it did feel bigger when we bought it and then we went in to cove it and it’s yeah.

John
Yeah. I mean, you can’t escape. Yeah.

Paige
My co-worker, I’ve never despised a co-worker as much.

Aaron
As the man I just married.

Paige
Silly. Silly. So we actually it’s a good story actually, how we came about to buying it. So we were renting the property? Yep. We lived in Melbourne for a handful of years and my partner was in charge of one of the rentals and it was the day we’re moving in. And I said, it’s all, all okay. I hadn’t seen it.

Paige
I was going blind and signed this rental agreement. I said, as long as it’s got some light coming in. And he looked at me and his face just dropped and I it had one sliding door that looked out over a side of a brick building. You can imagine.

John
Oh, no, nothing.

Paige
And so he found this rental property in Bendigo when we were moving back to be a little bit closer to his family and settle a little bit. And he was super excited. Again, I moved inside on scene but he assured me it had lots of windows.

Aaron
Promises light in this one.

Paige
And it does. It’s beautiful. It’s got lots of really nice natural light that comes free. So we started renting it. We had some lights that needed changing and I thought the real estate sent in their handyman to change the light. It was actually the gentleman that built it and owns it. I was having a chat with him and just kind of off the cuff just said, If ever you thinking of selling, please let us know.

Paige
We really love the place. We really love living here. Yeah. And then three weeks later, he messaged the Ginge, my partner. So we we the price. And in a about a month away we’re going through all the paperwork and signing and it was fantastic. Was brilliant. Yeah. I’ve moved every year since I was 18 and sign which is to be renting and then buy a house and not actually have to move.

Paige
Was perfect. Yeah.

John
Oh my. Absolutely.

Paige
Yeah, it was great. So we did a little bit of research on the price that we were willing to pay for our place in comparison to other places around, and went to a few open homes and compared. But we really, really like where we are, so.

John
Oh, yeah, yes.

Aaron
So how long ago was this like? Was the market in its kind of booming phase was just about to nice.

Paige
So you bought it at the start of I want to say 2019 and we it’s nearly doubled now, which is pretty cool.

Aaron
It’s a nice feeling. Yeah. Especially after just having a wedding as well, which we were talking about before the the debt that that can put you into.

Paige
Absolutely.

Aaron
But what a date. And what about that band plan, the property part over the loudspeaker?

Paige
It was just yeah.

Aaron
Episode 36 came through and I was like, Yeah, great.

Paige
I know. And I love 36.

Aaron
This is my favourite.

John
Yeah, yeah. Just everyone’s put up their lot. It started swaying.

Aaron
Yeah, I probably have to say I was like.

Paige
Wow, that song.

Aaron
Oh yeah. When John was serenading us about tidal insurance and we were all arm in arm. Oh, what a day.

John
You’re lucky. Didn’t. It didn’t go on.

Aaron
Repeat that. Dad’s got to go on forever.

John
Minutes worth a day. It’s in for the red service.

Aaron
No, I. Look, it’s really interesting kind of hearing your, like, purchasing story. And the reason we put the show together was kind of for people who were first time buyers or people that don’t know too much about the industry, may, at the start of the show, trying to find out more and get some kind of in-depth knowledge. And even when I just said to you, I could you kind of, what do you want to come on the podcast?

Aaron
I’d love to. Within, I would say 2 minutes. I don’t even know how you type these questions out into minutes. I had a full probably ten episodes worth of questions here. Yeah, but I was like, Yeah, Johnny Mac will happily answer these bad boys. So I just thought we could kind of run through your questions and keep it festive and keep it Christmassy and.

Aaron
And to see what happens. Yeah. Happy with that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. So patron from Bendigo, she’s actually probably dying to ask these questions since episode four. So when are they going to ask? Like, yeah, I’ll marry into his family if you’ll get me on the phone anyhow. Um, let’s ask away.

Paige
Beautiful. So because of the scenario where I didn’t actually go through real estate to buy our first house. Yeah, it’s something I feel quite blind going into. And I guess when you’re in a different state, looking at property for employment purposes, I’ll be asking you questions about some things. My friend Sage from Ballarat. Well, that’s got to be exciting about.

Aaron
Yeah, I’ve met her. She’s lovely.

Paige
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Real river. The main kind of questions I’ve got for you are all about looking at buying when you live in a different state. Sorry. How how do you go about identifying a good suburb, say you were looking at or sage might be looking at settling into looking at a family home or expanding. I might buy she might buy more pets, um, and expand the zoo that already exists.

Paige
So how do I identify a good suburb in an area that I don’t really know all of that well? I grew up in Launceston so yeah, that’s not my group.

John
There’s, there’s a politically incorrect answer and that’s to look at the statistics and first and where people would go, well what is that, what’s a nice family area? And they’ll often say, look, I want to avoid the, you know, the low socio economic areas, for example, like I want to be in the suburb, but I don’t want to be in the suburb often.

John
It actually bears out that when you look at what I see when you go to hire, you can actually get the stats out. Yeah, a higher owner occupier percentage and a higher family percentage because often it turns out that in the low socio economic areas there’s low ownership alone occupancy and a lot of single parent households.

Paige
Okay.

John
So it’s the sense that the unfortunately is a result of the lack of a viable income and many, many times that’s just how those areas bear out. That’s the politically incorrect answer, obviously. But the statistics.

Aaron
Well, it’s probably, probably what we want. Yeah, definitely.

John
So. But then it’s sort of like looking at, I suppose the demographics is percentages. The only real way to do it honestly is to sit there and actually have local knowledge and unfortunately not that you can get that. But it’s so true in that in some suburbs you got these amazing streets with really, really tight knit community and then you can have two streets over and it’s awful.

John
So that’s the thing where the statistics will never be able to tell you those stories. But if you’re trying to roll in on a general basis, that’s a couple of, you know, look at the owner occupier and occupier percentage and occupancy, and then look at the actual demographic of the family structure.

Aaron
Love it. The the next question I saw that you had on here was instead of flying in and out on weekends for open homes, which look, we’d love to have you down here more regularly, are always welcome at the Continental Chateau. First time guests Paige and and Jean stayed at the back house of our place last night. So who is morning?

Aaron
I was super excited. Yeah, I was super excited to find out about. I was like, how was it like was a take hold was a warm like can you tell us like 90%.

John
Off natural.

Aaron
Light? Yeah. Yes. Wow, that’s a big one.

Paige
I mean, we don’t need to look at buying property anymore. We’re just kind of moving out of back.

Aaron
Oh.

John
So nice.

Aaron
No dramas live in living babysitters. The nannies. But yeah, I love this question, which is like, how do you go about sussing out properties that are kind of open without racking up those frequent flyer points? I thought it was a good one to.

John
Ask and it was towards buyer’s agent. That was it. Because the thing is, unless you’re paying for a service, you’re not going to get the get different incentives because if you if someone’s if you’re buying someone a service, it’s like they have one job and that’s to your best interest. The rest of it is all very, very subjective.

John
So unless you’ve got family and friends and others that can connect you to it, the only real practical ways to basically engage a professional to do that research for you.

Aaron
Awesome.

Paige
And how far out or how far in advance would you suggest contacting somebody like that to help support me.

John
As much time as you can get? Yeah, I think sometimes too, because it’s about building a relationship because if you’re they’re going to have to find out and we’re we’ve got those cases where they will have clients. I just don’t want this suburb. You’ll have the perfect house for me in that suburb. And then they disappear for six months and then you reach out to them again.

John
They say, Oh, that’s fun abode. Or What did you buy? Well, in that suburb there I said I didn’t want. Yeah, yeah. So sometimes that relationship takes time before they can understand and connect with what you think you want versus what you actually want. So a lot of the time, having that capacity to do the research, build up a portfolio of potential, and then maybe you’re only doing one flight as opposed to ten.

Paige
Genius because it’s a lose lose you you flying in, it’s your own time, but also it’s spending money on flights that would otherwise go to a deposit. Yes, yeah. Yeah. So yeah, really hard when you’re looking at buying in a.

John
Oh look in the I mean a client, he’s going to be settling in about 45 days and he’s looking to get to Bendigo as it turns out.

Paige
Does he need a buyers advocate?

John
Exactly. That. Oh Townsville account. A but but yes.

Aaron
They are quite different. I know.

John
There was. The problem is it’s like three people go to the same area of the country which on which let’s just assume this one person’s a blend of three. Yeah, he flew over there and he had two days and then he got covered, stuck in his house for three days. Yeah. So his whole research period just disappeared. Yeah.

John
And he’s back now. But that didn’t pan out the way he wanted it to. So, of course, there’s, you know, you can if you can, if you’re happy to quit, make a quick decision. Boom, go on your own. Do the ones like make an offer and then move on. But if you do want to have that bit of time, the more breadth you can have in that relationship, if you are engaging someone, the better in my opinion.

Paige
Yeah, I guess that makes it tricky if it’s a highly competitive market to you because it’s not just flying and making an offer and then you’ve been successful. Yeah, yeah. They a really long process. What’s the market looking like at the moment for how in-demand houses are? This is what’s available in the market in Hobart.

John
We’ve called it a balanced market, so I look at it in four ways. You’ve got an extreme seller’s market which is it’s all in the hands of like there is no houses available and infinite amount of number. Buyers want to throw money at you. That’s where we were a few years back. Here you’ve got a seller’s market which is just, you know, subdued again, buyer’s market, an extreme buyer’s market.

John
So somewhere in that range, we’re about where we are. And that in these markets, it means that people are only buying and selling because their life requires them to do so. So there’s not those that are cashing out because like, oh my God, the markets, let’s get money. And they’re not buyers going in because all the markets, let’s get in before we can’t afford it anymore.

John
So now at this point, everyone’s just, you know, moving it because it’s because of something that they have to do or want to do, not necessarily because they’re they they’re like impulsively doing so, which is what in some of those hot markets can, you know, for us to do so now what that means is that some properties will start, it will still move overnight, which you’ve got properties which are beautifully presented and well well-priced.

John
So, you know, people are buying the time to do the work to it. But in these markets too, obviously, because trade is a much harder to come by and renaults are much harder to organise and more expensive. Well, the ones that I call properties with no redeemable quality are having a tendency to stay longer because the expectation of the owner might still be too high and it might be 10% away from where it’s going to sell, you know.

John
So we know in these transitional phases you get a lot of properties to stay on the market for a long time and mainly it’s a result of the expectations of the price being too high for a buyer perspective. It’s actually a really good market to work with him because more often than not you’re probably going to be on in a one on one negotiation situation as opposed to a multi offer situation, but it also depends on the property specifically.

Paige
That’s great. That’s really good to hear because we were I guess we’ve kept an eye on the market for a while.

Aaron
And Sage. Sage has.

Paige
Yes.

Aaron
Sage has been checking that out.

Paige
Absolutely. With my support.

Aaron
Oh, yeah. No, no. You’re a really good friend. You’re very thoughtful. And. Yeah, but not just sage.

Paige
They have been doing a great job of keeping an eye on the market and it was really competitive there for a while. When COVID hit, I guess people were looking at the lifestyle that they had, the situation I was stuck in and Tasmania, I guess it’s, it’s not so much a well-kept secret anymore.

John
Not.

Paige
Yeah, I’m sorry that that’s really positive. When you were talking about rhinos and changes to property, one of the things that Sage can say is some properties need a little bit of work, but how much when you’re comparing areas of the house watch, is there any way of forecasting how expensive a renovation is going to be depending on the area that you’re looking at renovating?

Paige
So say you want to do a whole new paint of the house, putting new built in cupboards versus a whole new kitchen. Yeah. What’s a better investment for down the track when you’re looking at reselling?

John
So from experience, I can tell you what it’s like to over capitalise, take too long, spend too much money and be a bad project manager. So it’s really good. I’ve gone through this process in my house and I’ve done it. I’ve done everything wrong.

Aaron
You’ve moved in just as likely.

John
To just do it last week after like six months. So I can answer that question intimately. And because I’ve done it all the wrong one.

Paige
I feel like I’ve got this whole point.

John
Yeah, no, it’s fine. It’s, it’s, it’s. It’s actually really good because to answer your question very quickly, I think you have to consider what you can trade your time for. Now, I can’t trade my time very well when it comes to handiwork because I just I can’t do the work if I’m I’m learning how to, you know, hang picture rails properly.

John
If you break the plaster, I’ve got a patch that will look, I can’t do that. I can’t for me to research what it’s going to replace to a kitchen myself, that’s really way far outside the scope of my expertise. If you’re a beginner, the one that I would suggest that you look to tackle would be simply a carpets in your paint.

John
So those little ascetic touches that can be done easily and you can get quotes for and you can choose colours and stuff, you know, rather quickly have those be done. And those things are going to have a really big difference on that presentation of your house. You will get the you will wind back on your investment when it starts to look at kitchens and bathrooms.

John
That’s where obviously the big money comes into. Also, when you removing walls and any building and structure work, that’s where the expenses can rack up really fast because all of a sudden you can go from a, you know, from one colour tone on the cupboard to using like a non touch can also can almost double the expense if you have the, you know, the cupboard.

John
So you really want to be mindful about what you’re intending to, to put into it. So that the two big questions that I really would suggest you answer first is is this going to be a forever home like or a long, long stay? Or do we know we’re going to be getting out here within 2 to 3 years?

John
So what happened with me is that I’d started from an investment perspective and then shift gears because my lifestyle, it’s changed. So now I’ve ended up going with a really nice stuff. And while the wall with a 19 like 1950s house, none of the walls are straight, everything has to be supported. All the beams are in the wrong places.

John
Another lots fit properly. Then you can it’s, you know, it’s everything that can be go wrong, can go wrong. And so by tackling an old house which has a lot of problems and then trying to a fix the standard that I want on it cost me probably 30% more than it probably should have had I just been careful and played it smart.

John
So if you’re looking so if you’re looking to approach a house that’s not perfect, the best thing for it to do would be not to grab something that’s, you know, infinitely old because nothing’s because nothing’s straight, nothing’s easy, everything has to be replaced. So when you’re buying a home like brick veneer, the 1980s, you know, it’s dated like everything’s still fine.

John
You know, sometimes you’ll have a concrete slab, like you can work with that simply whereas and you know, you can make a few changes. It’s not going to be it’s not going to be overdramatic. But when you start to get into the older homes, that’s when the hard work really starts to come into it. And you want to be planning, you know, plan meticulously.

John
Otherwise, I promise you it’s going to cost way more than you. Then you wanted to.

Aaron
I don’t know if, like Wayfair, you’ll probably spend a bit more time there than me, but is it real estate dot com have a like if you scroll down on a listing like there’s a bit there which kind of quotes like a crappy no good renter and like it’ll give you like a price range on kind of what to invest a buy accurate.

Aaron
I looked around the other day and it looked like it was like the numbers were like I’m not maths and you really like like, oh good, we’re not worthy. But yeah. Have you looked at that in. I didn’t.

John
Bother trying. Yeah. I mean I know like if you’re getting a quote from a builder, they’re going to, you know, quote you three grand a square metre at the moment. Yeah. So if you’ve got a three by three bathroom that’s you know nine. Was it nine square metres. So at my Tauranga. Yeah, that’s nearly 20 plus grand which is about right.

John
Yeah. You know, so they you know then if you do, if all of a sudden if you go from, you know, if you told just the floors and then you know for a walk in shower or you can go from floor to ceiling with tiles.

Aaron
Changes, everything changes. Costing of.

John
Yeah. So my tiling, for example was seven and a half thousand dollars alone for the toilet, you know, so versus another one we’ve just done in our for my partners unit. We’re doing that very like nice, but minimally there’s no extravagance at all. There’s no fancy stuff. It’s just what’s practical. Yeah. To, you know, to make it neat and really nice and liveable.

John
And that bathroom is probably going to cost two thirds of what I paid for the same sized mine. You know. So it’s a bit of a long, long winded approach. But I guess the real summary, which is what kind of house should I buy is newer, the better. If you have no idea what you’re doing and you want to do a lot.

Aaron
Go.

Paige
So very cool. Yes. Talk to me about the demand for houses that you know would fit a family three bedroom versus four bedroom. There’s a big trend at the moment with two living room spaces. This is the one that kind of thing. What’s the average what what are the houses that you’re saying that sell the fastest with demand for a family home with the set or layout of them.

John
Well before the actual bedroom sizes? It first is the presentation because the trade off is the time again. So if all of a sudden family, if you could bring the family into like, oh, that’s all well and good to do the renovations, but I can’t imagine what it’d be like to do it with three kids running around the house, you know, so they’re actually buying the finished homes first.

John
The other question aside, I think the second living room is the you’ve hit the nail on the head there because.

Aaron
I’m a kiwi then. Yeah, yeah, the second is like a.

John
Second thing and then I’ll throw in the American accent and then I don’t sound like Australia anymore, but what the thing will be is it, oh look, I can use that fourth bedroom as either an office, a second living space or a kid’s playroom. Yeah, that’s where the fourth comes in handy. More so than the necessity for an actual fourth for a child, generally speaking.

John
So dollar wise, though, I haven’t got the exact numbers from between a third to fourth or fifth bedroom. Sometimes, depending upon the presentation, you might not see too much difference. It really comes to the size of the home because you can have three good sized bedrooms and then two tiny ones and they’re useless. So just because it’s got five in front of it for the bedrooms doesn’t translate to a high sale price.

John
If all the bedrooms are tiny. So really, you want to you want to see the measurements before you get excited by the number?

Paige
Absolutely.

John
And even then, you could have a you know, you might have three that you might want to turn to, two you could have a four bedroom that you could give advice if the layout works well for. Not a heck of a lot of expense.

Aaron
Yeah. It’s funny you say that. There was a house that went for sale on my street just the other day. And as I’ve been talking about the pot, there’s the guy across the road who’s been asking me questions about his house for sale. I checked the price of his and then I looked. There’s one down the further down the street from mine and from the outside, you would look at it and say, that’s definitely at a minimum, a three bedroom, maybe four bedroom home in comparison to this one that he’s got, which is looks smaller.

Aaron
I checked it out and I could only find photos for two bedrooms. I’m like, oh, oh. So like, maybe they didn’t take the photos of that room, check the floor as his two bedroom home. It’s like this huge looking monster of a house with only two bedrooms. I checked the floor plan, and I was like, I couldn’t even, like, change this.

Aaron
Like, the way the house is laid out, it’s just an awful lot. And I was just like, wow, like, this is very bizarre. So I’m really intrigued to see how that affects the sale of all mates across the road as well. Because, you know, he’s sitting with this three bedroom home versus this large looking two bedroom home with a big yard.

Aaron
Yeah, yeah. Very interesting.

John
There was one lock that we had on I can’t remember the straight, but as you go along the main road, you’ve got those big billboards as it goes over the bridge in the trunk.

Aaron
Yeah, yeah. Another one left.

John
There. The name escapes me, jackass. I like double brick. Huge, huge floorplan. Two, two bedrooms. And then because of its, you know, disjointed nature and too many hallways and other elements, it was a two bedroom. We’ve really struggled because the asking price, in a sense, was, okay, I’m paying for a three bedroom here, but I’ve got to. Yeah, and you’re asking me Nana’s dropping another 30 grand just to be able to sit there and make this work.

John
And we only had one offer. It took me nearly three months, I think, in a good market because the because of the fact there was two bedrooms.

Aaron
So I guess jumping from pages. QUESTION That’s an interesting point that they like two is definitely not enough when it comes to like family size. But then yeah, how much does it exponentially grow. Yeah. The more you add to it.

John
And, and sometimes not. Not, not by a lot it really it and from the value is perspective, they don’t really going to look at bedrooms specifically. They are looking for the external size of the house in terms of in terms of its value. Because that way, like we said, you could have three bedrooms, three great sized bedrooms, way more value than five tiny one bedrooms.

Aaron
I’m just picturing like these tiny little cupboards like this, I promise. This is a five bedroom home. It’s like that’s a cupboard where you could sleep standing.

John
Harry Potter didn’t complain.

Paige
Yeah, you do see it sometimes. I would like a side sun room or something like that. Yeah, yeah, I wouldn’t fit in there. But you’ve advertised it as a whole new room.

John
And that’s a great point because you just people walk in, they just disappointed.

Aaron
Yeah, I always wonder that as well. It’s like you just being set up to fail.

John
Just don’t know.

Aaron
