Corrimal real estate, property money

Quick tips for selling Corrimal real estate.

Question for the real estate agents

1. Do you have any extra fees if my property doesn’t sell ?

You have to also be prepared if the sale does not go as planned.

If this happens and you decide not to sell at a latter date or you decide to change agents, protect your self by finding out if there are any charges from the agent if the property has not sold.

A lot of agents have advertising and marketing charges which are on top of selling commissions and these are chargeable regardless of whether the property is sold or not

Be aware if this is the case with your agent, look at as a form of risk management, used to protect yourself against any undisclosed potential financial loss.

2. What is the average time the agency takes to sell a property ?

This is the type of information any decent real estate agent will probably offer to you anyway, but if they don’t tell you ask the question, and make a note of the answer. Follow the question up with “Why does it take that long ?” this is a little bit more probing and the type of question you want to fire at the agent, remembering this is probably more than a $10,000 fee you are going to be paying, you want to know your agent has all the answers particularly when they are dealing with potential buyers for your property.

Here is some recent news about the state of the market for property in the corrimal area.

Corrimal house price capital growth 2000 till 2010.

Corrimal real estate capital growth

Corrimal is one of the northern suburbs of the City of Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia.

The suburb takes its name from a point on the bordering Illawarra escarpment which was known as Mount Corrimal, named after the Aboriginal Dreamtime warrior Kurimul and now called Broker’s Nose.

The first industry and settlement at Corrimal was that of logging, followed by mining operations. In 1830 the first grant of land was made to James Martin of 50 acres. Corrimal was first recorded in 1839 when a grant was sold at its location.

Its CBD is situated along the Princes Highway and several streets adjacent to it. One of its main shopping centres, Corrimal Park Mall is located near the park on the highway. Outside this centre is an old locomotive which is a significant part of its history. It used to run on Bulli Colliery Line to Bellambi Haven from 1909 to 1967. To the west is a lawn bowls club and a wealthy foothill neighbourhood of residences bordering bushland.

Public transportation is not a problem when you are living in Corrimal. It has a railway station (South Coast Line) located on Railway Street which connects the station to the heart of the town. Buses also pass by Princes Highway regularly for commuters.

Immediately west of Corrimal railway station is the Corrimal Cokeworks, open to the public on Tuesdays. The towers are a prominent local sight and can be seen from Wollongong. The railway crosses the first level crossing north of Wollongong immediately north of the station.

On the second Sunday in September Corrimal hosts the annual Spring Into Corrimal festival, which includes market stalls on the closed main streets, a parade, contest and other activities. 2009 was the 30th anniversary of the parade. In the 2007 festival the world’s largest skateboard was displayed.

Corrimal has four primary schools and one high school. St Columbkille’s Corrimal is Corrimal’s leading Catholic School. There is also Corrimal Public School, The Illawarra Advestist School, Corrimal High and The South Coast School For Children with Autism.

If you’re into shopping, there are two main shopping centres in Corrimal. One is the Corrimal Park Mall as mentioned earlier and the other is Stockland Corrimal. Corrimal Park Mall is designed to service Corrimal and the surrounding suburbs. It houses a supermarket and several smaller specialty retailers. It’s a one-stop shopping centre for the day-to-day needs of residents. Stockland Corrimal has more than 40 specialty stores and a variety of services to provide you with all your day to day and holiday needs. It offers free customer car parking as well as undercover, disabled and ‘parents with pram’ parking facilities.

One thing you can look forward to in Corrimal is going to the beach. Corrimal beach is 1.4 kilometres long and backed by fenced sand dunes, grassy reserves and Caravan Park.
