Heading out of town, you can't help but notice the construction. The town is expanding. Houses are rising in the south. Woodvale. These developments are changing the face of our market. Some people complain. "Too much traffic," they say. from a property perspective, I see progress. Expansion brings shops. Growth keeps prices strong. If we stop building we go backwards. It is thriving.
These new estates provide options missing in the center. Modern living. Low maintenance. For young buyers, this is perfect. They dislike renovating. They want walk-in robes. They desire solar power. This is standard at Springwood. The cost is attractive against the existing market. Packages start within budget.
But it is not just housing. Look at the shops. Look at the connector road. These developments pay for infrastructure. Gawler East link road benefits everyone. New playgrounds built by developers are fantastic. We all benefit. Even residing in an older home, it is a bonus. It brings vibrancy to the council.
Looking At Our Major Developments
The major players. Springwood estate. It is huge. It has shops. Great outlooks. It attracts money. Land sizes mix small terrace lots to huge lifestyle allotments. This mix avoids the cookie cutter. Professionals buy there. It is turning into a new town.
Then there is Orleana Waters. Level blocks. Perfect for first homes. Near the station. It has lakes. Nice environment. People like it for the price point. You can get a good house with space cheaply. This area is booming. It is great for travel road access.
And smaller infill occur daily. Subdividing backyards. In Willaston. Traditional allotments are being split. This increases density. Retains the front adding stock. This is smart growth. Supports local business without sprawling.
How The Town Is Adapting
People fear traffic. "It will be a car park." It is a valid concern. The government are reacting. The connector has taken pressure off the main drag. You can bypass to get to the expressway. The Northern Expressway links to the city. It is seamless.
Retail is growing. Gawler Green is thriving. Big box retail serves us. All needs locally. Doctors are growing for the people. Classrooms are added. Trinity keeps growing. State schools improve. It is working.
In fact, expansion is a lifesaver. Small country towns without development lose shops. Banks close. We are secure thanks to new estates. Your house price is protected of this growth. So don't hate the cranes. It is your wealth.
Deciding Between Old And New
Buy new or old? It is the big question. A new home a custom home. Select the layout. You pay less stamp duty. First home owner grant if you qualify. A journey. But, it takes time. A year. Paying rent and mortgage strains the budget. Price increases. Landscaping is extra. It adds up.
An existing home is fast. Walk through it. Trees are grown. It is finished. You move in in a month. But, it is old. You might need to paint. Tax is full price. You get their tiles. The kitchen might be old.
Your choice. Can you wait? Is modern key? Buy land. Do you want it now? Buy an old home. Both work. You can choose. That is great.
Investing In Gawler's Future
Future values? Rising. We are positioned well. It is cheap vs the city. Commutable. This gap will close. Gawler prices will catch up. Inventory is low. Growth happens.
The expensive land push up the bottom. If building is expensive, then the old house worth $500k is undervalued. It corrects. The rising tide lifts all boats. Holding a mansion, you gain.
So if you are thinking buying land, go for it. It is solid. We have the population. We have the history. The new. The right mix. Call Brad Smith. I know the estates. I advise what to choose. Let's build your future locally.
