Hi All
I am currently looking at a development site with the view of building 3 villas. The particular area will be rezoned within the next 6 months, it has already been rubber stamped so its definitely a goer.
This is the issue I have though, the market is still rising in this area as there is no or little stock and many buyers trying to source these sites. I have found an excellent property, best location in the area, however how can I work out the numbers on the end value if there are no comparables??
Anything that comes remotely close is on perhaps 400 sqm lot and 3 x 1 house, my product will be 3x2 villa on perhaps 200 sqm land.
My contact a local re agent has forwarded similar product in adjoining areas, however these adjoining areas also happen to have a much higher median price.
I have guestimated an end value but more or less on the lower side. I am very much dependent on values when sourcing finance, if there are no comparables, how do I source finance??
I also believe the zoning has already been built into pricing of the current land value in this area, however I also don't believe that this particular area will slow down as mentioned more demand than supply, location of the area, proximity to city etc
Properties in this area where value has been added has come in the form of a new house built at the rear so larger land component and larger house. This also raised the question will prospective buyers go for my product?? From my minimal research I would say yes, but comes down to $ value.
Anyone been down this road? Very frustrating, is this too much risk??? The area is possibility the hottest I have seen to date, my competition are not developers but people upgrading, investors (buy/hold).
Cheers
