Take Advantage Of The First Home Buyer’s Grant At North Harbour!

This week has seen another bumper week of sales for us at North Harbour with buyers running in almost as fast as Usain Bolt to take advantage of the First Home Buyers Grant!

 

With the Olympics also still going, the Brisbane Boat Show casting off (sorry – couldn’t resist) and the CREEC festival coming up in the Moreton Bay Region we’re never bored and life at North Harbour is certainly never boring. We’re welcoming more and more families to live in our great community and over 50 new homes are now completed. We are planning an event ourselves in the next few weeks, so watch this space for more info.

But first…Just to remind you, as of July 2016, the First Home Buyers Grant increased to a whopping $20,000. Provided by the State Government, the First Home Buyers Grant is only available to those buying their first home in Australia who meet all the eligibility criteria. More details can be found here www.firsthome.gov.au/. I can’t stress enough that this kind of opportunity for a helping hand doesn’t last forever, so if you are thinking of buying but not sure if you can afford it – don’t put it off, talk to a financial advisor now. A good financial planner can help you towards your goals. We also have builders in our Display Village who specialise in helping First Home Buyers so do drop in to see us at the Sales Office for a point in the right direction.

A reminder of who we are – North Harbour is a new home and land Burpengary based-development located about 10 minutes north of North Lakes on the Bruce Highway.

We’re currently selling from The Cowrie Release which is our 10th round of house and land packages and have sold approximately 350 blocks of land with 50+ families now moved into their new home. New houses are being completed every week, Stages 1-8 have completely sold out and our Display Village is open, showcasing the work of 14 local and national builders in 35 stunning Display Homes.

North Harbour has put together several special house and land packages for first home buyers which you can view online at www.northharbour.com.au/ and of course in person at our sales office. North Harbour is a great place to choose when considering to buy your first home for reasons we elaborated on in last week’s blog – namely, the longevity of the project, location, experience of the developers and first-class amenities. For a recap visit our blog page.

When you’re looking to buy we suggest a few visits to our Display Village and sales office armed with a list of your “must-haves”, “would-likes” and “absolutely-nots” firmly in your mind. If you’re not sure what you’re after, have a read of this great guide which might help crystallise your thinking http://www.realestate.com.au/advice/buying/first-home/.

We have 35 Display Homes in our Display Village, one of which, McLachlan Homes, has just won two awards for their homes in the North Harbour Display Village in the Brisbane Master Builders Awards. The Rosewood won Best Display Home over $501,000 and The Cashmere won Best Display Home $351,000 – $400,000. These awards recognise those at the forefront of building innovation and quality craftsmanship, promoting and showcasing excellence in Brisbane’s housing and construction industry. The homes are open to view daily from 10am-5pm.

As I mentioned earlier, North Harbour is now home to over 50 families and the community is growing every week. We’re involved in a lot of community projects, one of which is particularly close to the North Harbour ethos – CREEC. CREEC (the Caboolture Region Environmental Education Centre) and the North Harbour team have worked together since the inception of North Harbour and Northeast Business Park. The CREEC team has helped us with our environmental goals and we’re pleased to be supporting them at this year’s festival. If you want a family day out in the great outdoors, some sustainable living ideas and opportunity to buy some plants for the garden then head to CREEC on Saturday 27th.

CREEC was established by Caboolture Shire Council and a small, but dedicated group of volunteers on 18 hectares next to Burpengary Creek. Encompassing a rare lowland rainforest riparian ecosystem, CREEC was chosen for its unique location. The 18-hectare site has several habitats and is home to a wide range of wildlife. On site is an administration building with auditorium, a community nursery, playground, BBQ and interpretive trail. It is located approximately 40 km north of Brisbane on Rowley Road at Burpengary within the area covered by the Moreton Bay Regional Council.

This year’s CREEC Festival will be held on Saturday 27th August 2016 from 10am – 3pm. CREEC will be a bustling with hands-on learning experiences, talks from the experts and guided tours for the whole family.

First Home Buyer packages are now available at North Harbour. For more information or to make an appointment call Aidan on 5433 1111 or email .

Buying your first home? We just launched Stage 9!

Well this week has been a cracker! When we can tear ourselves away from the Olympic coverage, the Ekka and this beautiful weather, we’ve been kept very busy with enquiries regarding our new house and land packages in The Cowrie Release.

Cowrie is our Stage 9 release of home and land packages and we have had so much interest that we sold almost half the available lots in the first week! Congratulations to all our new and upcoming residents on your purchase and a particular welcome to our first home buyers – thank you for choosing to make your home at North Harbour.

 

If you’re not aware, as of July 2016, the First Home Buyers Grant increased to a whopping $20,000 which goes a long way to helping you secure the home of your dreams at North Harbour. Provided by the State Government, the First Home Buyers Grant is only available to those buying their first home in Australia who meet all the eligibility criteria. To find out if you are eligible visit www.firsthome.gov.au/

North Harbour has put together several special packages for first home buyers which you can view online at www.northharbour.com.au/ and of course in person at our sales office. Our Display Village is also home to several builders who specialise in helping first home buyers get on to the property ladder. One such builder is Integra whose Pathfinder series offers no deposit house and land packages for first time buyers. As they say: “Stop paying rent! Don’t wait years saving for your deposit when YOU can buy in now, at today’s prices, with no deposit!” Integra has two homes on display at North Harbour, The Cox and The Wentworth, open every day 10am-5pm.

So, why should first home buyers choose North Harbour? There are many solid reasons why North Harbour is a worthwhile place to spend your First Home Buyers Grant, chief of which are: longevity of the project, location, experience of the developers and first-class amenities.

Longevity of the Project

North Harbour is a brand new project and is forecast to continue development for a 15-year period. Getting in during the early stages offers first home buyers the opportunity to get a great deal in a project which will only increase in value as time goes on. In years to come we want to add a marina, marine precinct (both in approval phase), shops, cafes, restaurants, parklands, open space, a heritage precinct all beautifully designed and landscaped. Imagine a development with the scope and community of North Lakes with the waterfront activity of Sanctuary Cove, this is our aim. Somewhere you’ll want to live, grow with your family and enjoy the community for years to come.

Maybe your first house will become your first investment property as you decide to move into a bigger home, maybe you’ll decide to add a pool as your equity grows in your home…investing in North Harbour helps you invest in a strong future.

 

Location, Location, Location

North Harbour is introducing a new destination into the Moreton Bay Region – one that will take shape over the next 15 years as part of the significant growth projected for the local area. Its location, in the burgeoning South East of Queensland; positions North Harbour and its residents in an exciting part of Australia.

“The Moreton Bay region is one of the fastest growing regions by population in Australia and will continue to be the third largest local government area by population in Australia behind Brisbane and the Gold Coast. It has an estimated current resident population of 399,406 as at 30 June 2012 (ABS 2013) and has shown dramatic growth over the past decade, with the population estimated to exceed 530,000 by 2031.”

North Harbour’s location benefits from direct access to the Bruce Highway and Moreton Bay, proximity to the Brisbane Airport and links with Caboolture and Morayfield. North Harbour is located in Morayfield in the Moreton Bay Region only 10 minutes from North Lakes, 36 minutes from the Brisbane CBD, 29 minutes from the Brisbane Airport, 45 minutes from the Port of Brisbane and 35 minutes from the Sunshine Coast.

Experienced Developers

This isn’t our first time as developers. The team behind North Harbour has built award-winning developments in Queensland and globally. We own and operate many of the developments we’ve built and will stick around for the long-term. You can trust in our experience and our commitment to the success of this project.

First-class Amenities

Each home at North Harbour (and even the free Wifi in the park) has access to state of the art, fibre optic network capable of speeds up to 1Gb per second from a broad range of Internet Service Providers. More than enough speed to tackle the latest Netflicks binge on your smart TV.

Each home will also have the option of tapping into underground reticulated gas. Having the option of natural gas appliances gives each homeowner an energy efficient choice for endless hot water as well as cooking inside and the traditional Aussie barbie.

First Home Buyer packages are now available at North Harbour. For more information or to make an appointment call Aidan on 5433 1111 or email .
