Gawler's Growth: New Estates And Developments

Cruising the outskirts, it is impossible to miss the cranes. The town is expanding. Houses are rising to the east. Orleana Waters. These estates are changing the face of the region. Some locals hate it. "We are losing the country feel," is the complaint. from a property perspective, I see progress. Expansion brings shops. Development is good. A town that isn't growing is dying. We are alive.

New subdivisions give choices that the old town cannot. New builds. Energy efficiency. For busy people, this is perfect. They don't want renovating. They want walk-in robes. They desire solar power. This is standard at Springwood. The cost is attractive against the existing market. You can build for a reasonable price.

But it is not just housing. Look at the shops. Look at the connector road. These developments pay for infrastructure. Gawler East link road benefits everyone. New playgrounds in these estates are world-class. Everyone can use them. Even residing in an older home, it is a bonus. It brings wealth to the community.

Where The New Houses Are Being Built

The key estates. The development in the east. It is massive. A planned village centre. It has views. It feels premium. Lots range compact land large sites. Diversity brings different people. It attracts retirees. It is becoming a mini suburb.

Look at Evanston Gardens. Easy building. Great for families. Transport adjacent. Wetlands. It is spacious. It is popular value for money. A family home with a yard without breaking the bank. The south is taking off. Commuters love it fast exit.

Pocket developments are happening too. Two for one. In Gawler South. Old quarter acre blocks are developing. More people. But it saves the old house building at the back. Good planning. It keeps the population efficiently.

Roads, Shops And Services

The worry is always congestion. "Can the roads cope?." True. But the council are working. The Gawler East Link Road fixed issues Murray Street. Go around if you need to. The freeway connects us to Adelaide. It flows.

Shops are expanding. The shopping centre is busy. The hardware store is local. We have everything nearby. Medical centres are opening to serve us. Colleges expand. More facilities. Gawler High is upgrading. We are managing.

Truthfully, development saves us. Other regions that don't grow lose doctors. Towns die. Gawler is safe due to expansion. Your equity goes up because people want to live here. Love the building. It is good.

The Pros And Cons Of New Builds

Is building better? The choice. Building your perfect design. Pick the colours. Duty is only on land. You get the grants if eligible. It is fun. The downside is, it is slow. 12 months. Renting while building is expensive. Variations. Fences aren't included. It costs more than the brochure.

Buying established is immediate. You see what you get. Landscaping exists. Curtains are there. Keys in hand fast. The catch is, it has wear. Fix things. Stamp duty is higher. You inherit someone else's choices. You might hate the bathroom.

Your choice. Can you wait? Do you hate maintenance? Go to Springwood. Do you want big trees? Buy in Willaston. Both make money. We have both. That is the benefit.

Where Prices Are Heading

What is the forecast? Rising. We are positioned well. It is cheap vs the city. Commutable. This gap will close. Gawler prices must go up. Inventory is low. Growth happens.

The expensive land push up the bottom. If building is expensive, then the old house worth $500k is undervalued. It rises. The rising tide lifts all boats. Holding a mansion, you gain.

So if you are thinking buying land, go for it. It is solid. We have the population. We have the history. The new. The right mix. Talk to me. I know the estates. I advise what to choose. Let's build your future locally.
