One - after gently prodding my sales rep, we should have the first tender letter next Wednesday. I'm eager to see how the budget is coping so I can keep planning the after handover stuff. We will be doing the driveway, landscaping, fencing, decking, carpets and possibly lighting out of pocket, eek. We had a soil test done prior to settlement and got M, which was an unexpected bonus as we'd budgeted for H. Two - The next stage of our estate was released and prices have gone up significantly. Blocks of our size (567m2) are now selling for $15k more than what we paid in September, so we are very happy about this. It looks like the premium block sizes are being replaced by smaller ones - this stage (6 of 20) is the first to have 320m2 blocks and an average of 400m2. Whereas stage 1 had blocks up to 1000m2 and an average of 600m2! Not much progress, but it's good to know the ball is starting to roll Re: First home - Coral Homes Noosa 25 (custom) 20Jan 22, 2015 10:09 am We were pleasantly surprised at how accurate our sales reps 'guestimate' was to our tender price. Hopefully you'll find the same. Good work on getting in early in the estate. We're finding the estates near us keep going up and up and up with each release too.
