Why New Estates Are Driving Gawler's Growth

Driving through Gawler today, you can't help but notice the earthmovers. Gawler is growing. Land is being cleared everywhere. Orleana Waters. These estates are changing the face of the region. Old locals grumble. "We are losing the country feel," is the complaint. But as a real estate agent gawler, I see value. Growth brings amenities. Demand drives value. Without growth we stagnate. We are alive.

These new estates provide options that heritage homes don't. Modern living. Clean lines. For young buyers, this is the dream. They don't want renovating. They prefer walk-in robes. They desire solar power. This is standard in a new build. And the prices is competitive versus old houses. Packages start affordably.

It is more than houses. Look at the shops. The transport. The developers fund improvements. Better access improves traffic. Parks in these estates are fantastic. They are public. So even if you live in central Gawler, the growth helps you. It brings wealth to the council.

The Pros And Cons Of New Builds

Buy new or old? It is the big question. A new home a custom home. You choose the tiles. Save on tax. Government money if eligible. It is fun. The downside is, it is slow. 12 months. Renting while building is expensive. Price increases. Fences aren't included. It adds up.

An existing home is fast. Touch it. The garden is done. Fences are up. Settlement is 30 days quickly. However, it has wear. Fix things. Stamp duty is higher. You inherit someone else's choices. The kitchen might be old.

Your choice. Can you wait? Do you hate maintenance? Buy land. Do you want it now? Buy an old home. Both work. You can choose. That is great.
