The waters have receded quickly and they left behind a community united in spirit and bond between neighbours that was not always present before.
Last Saturday morning hundreds, maybe thousands, of people poured into the few streets of New Farm that had minor flooding. They came armed with shovels, utes, brooms & gloves. Many people packed esky’s and distrusted drinks, while local restaurants and curb side BBQ stands fed the masses. The response across the city was humbling, every persons story was greeted with a coy smile and “well there are a lot of people worse off than me”.
In terms of property, the effects on the market will be known as time pushes forward. Most soothsayers are predicting a rise in rents, a reduction in unemployment and a potential price increase in non-flood affected addresses.
For those of you living outside the South East, or anyone interested, I have a number of property reports that I can forward on – Matusik’s Report, HTW Valuers, Propell Valuers & Westpac. Please email me if you would like a copy of any or all of these reports hc@rwnf.com.au.
