WHAT IS LIVEABILITY REAL ESTATE?

Liveability real estate is a new industry framework that allows Penny Wood Lane agents to identify, verify and unlock a home’s hidden values. It is endorsed and owned by the CSIRO, Australia’s leading science and research institution.

WHAT ARE LIVEABILITY FEATURES?

Liveability features are features of a home that increase comfort and reduce running costs when used effectively by the occupant.

They deliver Health, Efficiency, Comfort and Connectivity to your local community. They are categorised by the 17 Things TM.

The 17 things were developed in collaboration with the design, construction and assessment industries. They cover location, floor plan and layout, key building structure elements, important energy and water saving inclusions, energy rating and more.

WHY IS LIVEABILITY IMPORTANT AND HOW CAN IT HELP WHEN SELLING OR LEASING A PROPERTY?

According to CSIRO research 89% of respondents said that a property would be more attractive if these features were available at the point of purchase or lease. So 9 out of 10 people say this would help them in their decision making.

Very few people are aware that the framework exists so this is a huge opportunity for property owners to separate themselves from their competition. If we can show that your property has more potential to increase comfort and reduce running costs at the point of purchase or lease we are increasing the likelihood of maximising your sales price outcome. Everyone wants more comfort and affordability in their lifestyle. It starts at home and most homes have liveability features!
