There are good signs that the Gympie Real Estate market is starting to move with Bambling Rural gympierealestate.com.au reporting an increase in sales at the top and bottom end of the market in recent months, with properties priced from around $350,000 to $900,000 remaining steady.  The good news is there are definitely signs of a brighter outlook for the new year.  

Since starting business in April 2010 Bambling Rural gympierealestate.com.au has sold $18.1 million of properties in the Gympie region.  These properties have mostly been small vacant acreage blocks up to $265,000 and large rural farms and properties over $900,000.  

John Bambling said “The types of properties that buyers are looking at are the cheaper priced lifestyle blocks to build their own home, or long term investment opportunities in the larger rural properties with the major attraction being so close to the coast and to Brisbane.”  

When asked about the long term outlook of the Gympie Real Estate market, John went on to say “Real Estate in the Gympie Region will always be an attractive investment being so relatively cheap when compared with other regions nearby such as Cooroy, Maleny and Buderim.  These towns are really so close to Gympie, yet Gympie still is the best value and best kept secret of the southeast.”  

John said “The market has certainly slowed in recent times, however, once all of the bad news is out the way, I am confident things will start to improve.  You only have to look at the housing shortage in Qld and the number of people moving to Queensland from other states as well as Governments printing money all over the western world.” 

Mike Ostwald agreed saying ‘This must increase the value of land because you might be able to print more money but you can’t make more land. Every time governments start printing money two things go up, the price of gold and the price of land.  I would encourage buyers now is an excellent time to buy to maximise value for the dollar particularly in these uncertain times.” 

John and Mike also would like to say a big thank you and happy Christmas to all of their loyal clients – “it is because of these people that we are able to do what we do at Bambling Rural gympierealestate.com.au”. 

The office on the Bruce Highway will be shut from Saturday 25^th December through to Tuesday 4 January 2011, however, John and Mike will be available for inspections over that period by prior appointment. Please do not hesitate to call John on 0418 715 165 or Mike on 0429 008 491 for all enquiries over the holiday period. 

Best wishes from all of us for a safe and fun festive season from John, Mike, Amanda, Melinda and Melissa.

In the pouring rain with only the truly dedicated farmers and bargain hunters attending a recent clearing sale at Glen Echo, Bambling Rural gympierealestate.com.au raised a total of $1,653 for the Brainchild Foundation by running a sausage sizzle and canteen. 

The Brainchild Foundation is a charitable organisation established in 2010 by a group of medical professionals, dedicated parents and friends of children who are affected by brain and spinal cord tumours.  The clearing sale was held by Bambling Rural gympierealestate.com.au in conjunction with Sullivan’s Livestock and Rural Services and was attended by approximately 250 people.  Over $125,000 worth of farm machinery was sold on the day to both local farmers and others who had travelled as far as Yarraman to attend.

The canteen for the sale was organised by Amanda Bambling of Bambling Rural gympierealestate.com.au specifically to raise funds for the Brainchild Foundation providing a sausage sizzle, sandwiches, cake and drinks for those attending the sale. 

Amanda and John Bambling of Bambling Rural recently made the decision to sponsor Brainchild Foundation as their charity of choice and to help with raising awareness and fundraising activities in their local community to help beat childhood brain tumours and to ensure better tomorrows for affected children.   

Amanda Bambling said ‘After much research, it became clear that the Brainchild Foundation was the only organisation in Australia that specifically raises funds for research into causes and treatments of childhood brain tumours as well as providing support to affected children and their families’.  

‘Brainchild provides a much needed resource for families to go to for financial assistance while their child is in hospital as well as providing scholarships for tutors to assist children with any learning difficulties resulting from treatment for their tumours.’ 

Amanda went on to say ‘We have a wonderful community here in Gympie and the surrounding districts, made clear by the overwhelming generosity towards our fundraiser which included an effort to fill a giant whisky bottle with small change.

We couldn’t believe how many people put notes instead of change in the bottle in support of Brainchild, and we thank all of those people who donated so generously.’ She also said ‘For all of those people wondering how we were going to get the notes out of the bottle without breaking it, we found a wire coat hanger did the trick!’ 

‘We would also like to thank those very special people of our community who volunteered their time to help for such a good cause without whom it all would not happen.  A big thank you to the star helpers, Sonia Lynch, Kellie Nalder, Melinda Meerman, Melissa Payne, Tom Bambling, Edward Bambling and Neil Sharpe who served the hungry crowd with sausages and sandwiches regardless of the wind and rain.  A big thank you also to Geoff Buckley Butcher, Stewart Terrace Gympie for donating 100 delicious beef sausages for the day. ‘ 

‘In total we raised $1,653 which included proceeds from the canteen, fill the bottle donations and proceeds donated from a tractor slasher and a solar hot water system sold at the clearing sale, which Bambling Rural has forwarded to the Brainchild Foundation.’Amanda said.
