Belle Property Beacon Hill

The start of a new year brings new beginnings and heartfelt resolutions, and I imagine this rings true given the circumstances we’ve found ourselves in over the holiday period. Many of us have found the time to think and re-evaluate our situation. We all know that the last 12 months have been more than challenging on many fronts, but it has brought change and with change comes many positives.We have learned to adapt and be grateful, and some of us have come out looking at life a little differently. If we look to the past, we can see that many decades are periods of time where society has notably changed. From the year 2000 onwards, technology brought major advancements and most have been caught up in the rat race of being busy. The pandemic has now forced us to have far more respect for our homes and given us a chance to look at life with a new perspective and realignment. Our home is not just base camp for our busy lives, it is a space in which we spend more time - we work from home, entertain from home, and feel safe at home. In the last quarter of 2020, we saw almost double the number of buyers considering Beacon Hill, Cromer & Narraweena as a place to live.The demand from out of area buyers has never been greater.The common theme among them and the drive behind the motivation to relocate is due to the fact that as a collective we are now working from home for the majority of the week which is negating the need to commute to the city. Lifestyle is now more important than convenience. I believe we must also be realistic and acknowledge there will be challenges ahead for our economy and some businesses, but at least we know we are heading into a post-vaccine world in 2021.The stable economic environment and low interest rates have also paved the way for Sydney’s Northern Beaches property market to remain buoyant. Based on the data we have collected Beacon Hill houses had an average sale price of $1,710,631 in 2020. As a team we are selling more freestanding properties collectively across the Suburbs of Beacon Hill, Narraweena and Cromer than any other agent.As the new wave of buyers are unfamiliar with the Northern Beaches we are in a unique position to introduce them to properties and suburbs they may not otherwise have considered. If you are contemplating a move either now or in the future or would simply like to know how the events of 2020 have influenced the value of your property, we would welcome your call. Wishing everyone a healthy, happy and rewarding year ahead - bring on 2021! Best Regards, Peter Capindale & Team 2020 REVIEW Beacon Hill
