43 Raywards Lane, Skinners Shoot

I was very happy to see a good outcome from previous clients who recently sold this property. When I helped them purchase it in 2011, it was a half-finished vanity project from someone who had to leave town in a hurry, leaving lots of debt and disruption.
After removing the 14 truckloads of rubbish, the 8-acre site still showed heaps of promise. The price of just under $1 million was reasonable if you were ready to take on the project. The owners did an exceptional job of finishing the structure, fitting it out, and adding a pool and pool house. The gardens were a labour of love for many years. Jeremy Bennett and Ku Darroch from Byron Bay Property Sales sold the five-bedroom, five-bathroom house for a reasonable $7.4 Million.

Readers will know that my specialty is helping people downsize. The problem often is finding suitable places to downsize to. What works is finding a suitable unit development where you know the settlement date and can plan the move around that.
These new off-the-plan apartments in Ballina are a good example. They are a short walk to the North River and nearby town for shopping. They are around $2 mil with Pacifico Property.

Locals could not help but notice the long-term construction happening at Belongil Beach over the last few years. Property developer Shane Smollen and his wife Rebecca are now valuing their recently completed home at $40m and plan to take it to auction.

What You Should Know About the Byron Bay Property Market
Byron Bay is Australia’s most easterly point, with idyllic beaches in a rustic, rural backdrop. The area is 90 kilometres south of the Gold Coast in Queensland and 760 kilometres north of Sydney. Here are a few interesting points about the area, which is one of the most sought-after regions to live in for Aussies and celebs:
- The Byron Shire is a real estate darling of the East Coast of Australia. One of its regional towns is the most desirable in the country: Bangalow has the tag of Australia’s best-performing regional town over the past 20 years.
- According to realestate.com.au’s 2020 REA Insights Regional Australia Report, there was an increase in the price of houses in Bangalow of 1.2 percent, from $76,025 in 2000 to $1.05 million in 2021. Additionally, the push towards remote work in 2020 generated new interest in certain areas such as Northern Rivers. Consequently, prices shot up by almost 30 percent because of the area’s popularity in people buying up any houses for sale in the Byron Bay Hinterland.
- End 2022: some of the first places to witness price drops are the popular regional tourist playgrounds. Richmond-Tweed, which includes the well-known Byron Bay area, is the SA4 regional market that has seen the highest decline in house prices to date, across all types of dwellings. Home prices are down 6.3% from their all-time high, affecting factors include the 2022 flooding, bringing the percentage gain in home prices from March 2020 to 51.90%. (Proptrack Home Price Index).
- Byron Bay is approximately 19.8 square kilometres with 15 parks covering a total area of 24.3 percent. In 2016, the population was close to 6,000, with an annual increase of 11 percent. Individuals between the ages of 20 and 29 are the average residents, with 57 percent of these owning their property. Mortgage repayments range between $1800 and $2399 per month.
