Great news this week with the release of the national magazine “Your Investment Top 100 Suburbs” having Armidale included!!! This backs up what positive real estate agents have been saying for months… that Armidale is a great place to invest in!
The top 100 suburbs and towns is taken from over 15,000, so for Armidale to be in that top 100 is a great boost for the Armidale market and will no doubt encourage many investors from around Australia to look at Armidale as a safe place to invest.
Over the past year we have seen rents increase and prices of housing still stay affordable, combine this with Armidale’s recent exposure in national press with the “relocation grant” and the "National Broadband Network” and Armidale is certainly front of mind.
“Your Investment Magazine” is currently for sale at newsagencies everywhere.
I believe the property market in Armidale is getting the same exposure as it did 6 years ago, when it saw a huge influx in transactions. So if you're thinking of buying, now may very well be the time, as many people who missed out during the boom years are still saying, “Gee I wish a bought back then!”.

We may still be in autumn but the weather is already starting to cool down in Armidale as winter starts approaching.
Keeping a house warm is much like keeping a person warm – it helps to put on extra layers and cook lots of warm meals.
Here are some tips that should help keep your home warm this winter:
*When it’s a nice and sunny winter’s day, utilise the sun’s warmth by opening up curtains during the day.
* Gaps under doors and around windows can let the cool air in, so make sure to seal any gaps around the house.
* Most people don’t use all of the rooms in their house at the one time. So if you mainly need to keep the bedroom or the lounge room warm, then close the doors of rooms that aren’t in use, to keep the warmth in the areas that need it most.
* In winter it’s nice to cook up hot meals, so when you do leave the oven open when you’re done to let the heat filter throughout your home.
* If you’re lucky enough to have a fire place in your home then clean the chimney and’or flue to avoid unwanted smoke or ash from getting into your home. It’s also a good idea to keep chopped wood in a dry place so you don’t have any worries on rainy days.
* If you’re still cold then it also helps to snuggle up with warm clothes and a blanket and get out the old ugg boots!

Sydneysiders who sell up and move to regional NSW will be given a $7,000 grant by the state government.
So what does this mean for Armidale? More population of course, this government incentive is just what our local area needs for economic growth. The Regional Relocation Grants will be introduced on July 1 as part of the government's strategy to boost regional centres and ease congestion in Sydney.
Under the legislation, which passed through parliament this week, the one-off $7,000 grants will be paid to individuals or families who sell their homes in Sydney and buy a home worth up to $600,000 in regional NSW.
So what do you think about this incentive? Let us know we would love to hear your views!
