When Elite Agent featured top REMAX agent Leanne Druery in December, the focus was how Leanne’s success represented a structured business anchored in empathy and genuine care.
artificial Authenticity
Leanne says that after first thinking empathy and kindness would be seen as soft and that, to be successful, she needed to be forceful and unrelenting, she came to realise that they were, in fact, her strengths.
The reason why this works for Leanne, and many of our agents, is because it is completely authentic.
It also closely aligns with REMAX philosophy and the very thing we have built our business and our brand around.
Leanne realised an empathetic business model still required a systematic approach. Kindness does not mean the absence of structure. Her team has targets, accountability, and weekly meetings. Her people-first approach does not sit in opposition to commercial results, it supports it.
A very experienced real estate identity once told me that I was too nice for this business. I disagreed then and still do. I am who I am, and I don’t need to be ruthless to be successful.
Good leaders seek to normalise empathy, collaboration, and honesty as everyday practice, and while the loud minority with inflated self-importance may colour how the public sees us, most agents genuinely care about their clients and their communities.
Even more than ever before, people need people they can trust implicitly, people they know not just by reputation but through physically hearing, seeing, and being in the same space as them.
Authenticity breathes success into forming relationships, finding solutions, and delivering outcomes. If empathy is at the heart of real estate, then authenticity

is what keeps the heart beating. It’s the lifeblood.
Agents need to be mindful of authenticity when creating an online brand or persona because having a fake persona, via various channels such as social media or local area marketing, can bring an agent unstuck when it doesn’t match with reality.
You really want that agent you invite into your living room to align with the perception you’ve formed of them or there could potentially be a fundamental breakdown in the relationship before the process even begins!
With the dawn of AI, there has been a decrease in trust levels with technology. There is a tangible emptiness or hollowness to artificially generated information in all its formats. It's hard to put your finger on, but something doesn’t feel quite right.
This makes us uncomfortable for many fundamental reasons, which I think are tied to trust, value and wanting something real and authentic, and impacts how and why people determine their 'real estate professional of choice.'
REMAX draws authentic, exceptional people into our network, and I think this has been a real contributor to the growth of our business over the years.
As the future unfolds, authenticity will become more important in the progression of technology through an artificial age.
whitewhite
is all
Or is it?
There are hundreds, and potentially hundreds of thousands, of named shades that we generally consider under the moniker of white.
When the Pantone Colour Institute, a global authority that selects a shade each December to influence design, fashion, and marketing for the following year, chose ‘white’ for its 2026 Colour of the Year, it stirred up a bit of controversy.
Pantone's selection is considered an industry benchmark worldwide and its chosen colour influences everything from product development and fashion to home décor and digital design.
A secret global team of colour experts is said to observe trends in society, technology, art, and culture to predict the next influential colour.
PANTONE
CLOUD DANCER 11-4201
Reactions to Pantone’s announcement came fast and furious, with jibes like ‘boring’, ‘sterile’, ‘the colour of mediocrity’ and ‘equating to tone deaf’ to ‘disturbing’ and ‘dystopian’.
To be specific, the colour in question is PANTONE 11-4201 – named Cloud Dancer – and Pantone calls it a “a lofty white that serves as a symbol of calming influence in a society rediscovering the value of quiet reflection.”
Does Cloud Dancer conjure up images of downy clouds set against a perfect blue sky for you? Is Pantone’s choice for this year ‘ creamy, calm and always elegant’?
It might provide a blank canvas on which creativity can flourish.
It is undeniably adaptable. We’ll see it in homes, furniture and fashion. There will be white on the runway at the spring/summer and autumn/winter 2026 collections, for certain.
While the American company started the ‘Colour of the Year’ trend and is the most famous for doing so, other brands, such as paint companies, also announce their own.
Dulux, for instance, provides colours specifically curated for the Australian market, taking on board the unique quality of Australian light and lifestyle and collaborating with design experts.
For 2026, Dulux has revealed three under the theme ‘The rhythm of blues’ rather than just one colour. These are Slow Swing, a deep navy; Free Groove, a vibrant royal blue; and Mellow Flow, a soft sky blue.
Maybe Dulux has made a better call, but The Beatles’ White Album is one of the most famous albums in music history, and Gandalf the White was clearly the wisest and strongest of wizards – not to mention that the White House is the official residence of the American President. Just saying…
DEFINING prestige
Properties built by Ron Gilbert Homes are noted for their quality craftsmanship and timeless design, and Oak Hill House is one of his most notable creations. His homes, associated with prestige and luxury, are often found in Toowoomba’s blue-ribbon enclaves. Highgrove Stud, a state-ofthe-art horse breeding facility that involved Ron Gilbert was praised in the Queensland Parliament for its impressive design and construction.
OAK HILL HOUSE, TOOWOOMBA, QLD
This stunning Queensland residence, set on acreage in the blue-ribbon enclave of Middle Ridge in Toowoomba, radiates heritage, distinction, and grandeur.
Oak Hill House was masterfully conceived and built in 1989 by respected builder Ron Gilbert, whose volume of work city-wide stands highly regarded in Toowoomba to this day.
A Georgian-era statement property on more than 4000m2 of land, Oak Hill House is Gilbert's signature masterpiece, and representative of American Colonial Revival architecture with its symmetrical brick facade, black shutters and two soaring chimneys.
Tightly held by its creator and meticulously renovated around 2015, the regal estate blends the grace of its original craftsmanship with contemporary sophistication.

Stylish SHELVES
Your shelves can have a style of their own that creates interest and appeal, balancing beauty and function.
Well styled shelves add polish and intention to even the most impeccably furnished room. They make a space feel complete. They balance beauty and function if you do it right.
They reflect personality, as books, photos and meaningful objects tell your story; and you can refresh shelves seasonally or with changing tastes.
Shelf styling is flexible, low-commitment and can deliver big visual impact for relatively little cost.
Stylish shelves are worth the effort you put in.
Styling tips for shelf appeal
/ Evaluate the space you have before you begin. Start with a clean slate and empty the shelves first.
/ Use a mix of heights and shapes. Combine tall items, medium pieces and small to keep the eye moving. Layer front to back, placing larger items or artwork toward the back and smaller pieces in front to create depth.
STYLISH
SHELVES
/ With books, stack some horizontally and stand others vertically. Use book stacks as risers for decorative objects.
/ Group your items strategically to avoid making shelves look too similar. Grouping items in odd numbers, of three or five, can feel more natural and visually pleasing than evennumbered groupings.
/ Prioritising balance is especially important if you're styling more than one open shelf. Ultimately, the shelves should complement each other and be able to stand on their own.
/ Embrace negative space as it helps draw the eye from one element to the next and prevents the room from feeling cluttered. Open space helps the shelves feel calm and curated.
/ Add pieces with tones and textures that break up the space. For example, instead of having all framed photos on a shelf, you might add one framed print, a stack of books, and a small ceramic bowl.
/ Mix styles, for example mixing statement pieces with more practical items - a sculpture next to some books, a framed photo next to some greenery, modern pieces beside vintage.
/ Add organics. Plants, branches, dried florals, timber and stone add warmth and life. Choose plants that are in proportion to other items.
/ Pull the room's accent colour using items on the shelf.
/ Don’t go overboard with family photos, especially when styling your home in preparation to sell.
/ Embrace trial and error, and when you feel like the room could use a refresh, you can swap and rearrange items on shelves until it feels like a completely new design.
You really want to style your shelves so they look intentional, balanced and lived-in, rather than cluttered or staged.
Where shelves are purely utilitarian, rarely seen or used, styling might be overkill. If the shelves are in a space you use daily or guests see often, the effort pays off.
You don’t need every shelf to be ‘Instagram worthy’, but even 15 minutes of thoughtful ‘editing’ to remove clutter, group items, add something special can make a noticeable difference.

Big movers
Outer fringe postcodes around major cities are among locations that saw the biggest population gains in 2025. This involves a mix of overseas and internal migration, not just people moving from other parts of Australia; and growth is often driven by new housing developments and affordability access.
POSTCODE 3336
Fraser Rise about 24km northwest of Melbourne CBD is one of Australia’s fastest
People are on the move and heading to popular postcodes in the Australian real estate landscape, with three states represented in the top five.
Where are we moving to?
While ‘top five postcodes we moved to’ rankings don’t precisely exist in official Australian Bureau of Statistics public releases, there are locations that have stood out as the strongest domestic migration destinations over recent years.
SUNSHINE COAST | QLD
Queensland’s Sunshine Coast involves several postcodes, primarily in the 45004601 range. Standout growth postcodes are 4558 serving Maroochydore, the emerging CBD and Sunshine Plaza. Postcode 4575 covers several suburbs including Birtinya, Bokarina and Buddina.
GREATER GEELONG | VIC
At one stage last year, Greater Geelong toppled the Sunshine Coast to be the LGA receiving the largest inflow of net internal migration. Greater Geelong covers several postcodes, primarily in the 3214 to 3220 range. The standouts are associated with Geelong, Newtown, South Geelong, Bareena and Highton.
LAKE MACQUARIE AND NEWCASTLE REGION | NSW
People relocating from Sydney and other capitals to regional NSW coastal lifestyle areas fuelled strong migration inflows, especially 2281 and 2300, both in the
Hunter region. This includes Blacksmiths, Cams Wharf, Catherine Hill Bay, Caves Beach for 2281 and Bar Beach, Cooks Hill, Newcastle, Newcastle East, The Hill for 2300.
MAITLAND/HUNTER REGION | NSW
The Maitland/Hunter region covers several postcodes, with Maitland itself primarily being 2320, while surrounding areas and suburbs fall into codes like East Maitland’s 2321.
MOORABOOL | VIC
With the postcode 3340, Moorabool and the broader Moorabool Shire is a fastgrowing, semi-rural region in the Central Highlands of Victoria, positioned between major cities of Melbourne, Geelong, and Ballarat.
ALBURY-WODONGA | VIC/NSW REGIONS
Albury-Wodonga is a vibrant twin-city hub straddling the Murray River on the NSW-VIC border. Postcode 2640 covers Albury and surrounding NSW suburbs like North Albury, East Albury, Lavington, Thurgoona, and West Albury; postcode 3691 covers Wodonga and smaller localities near the border, such as Kiewa, Kergunyah, and Kancoona.
global destination
KOH SAMUI, THAILAND
The big picture
Thailand is at the heart of Southeast Asia and is one of the world’s most renowned holiday destinations. Known as Siam until 1939, it is the only Southeast Asian country never to have been taken over by a European power.
Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok is the main gateway, serving more than 50 international airlines; and with more than 20 domestic airports in major cities throughout the country, Thailand is well connected by air.
All major rail lines originate in Bangkok and cover Thailand’s four regions. Faster and more comfortable than buses, travelling by train is the secondbest option when commuting across the country.
Thailand’s most important industries are agriculture and tourism.
Let’s head to KOH SAMUI
Tourists flock to Koh Samui for its relaxed yet lively island atmosphere, beautiful beaches, clear waters, vibrant nightlife, rich Thai culture and easy accessibility.
Samui is the third largest island in Thailand, yet small enough to be circumnavigated in just a couple of
hours by motorbike or car, and bursting with nature, history, culture and beautiful beaches like Chaweng, Lamai, Taling Ngam, and Natien to name but a few.
Flight routes from varies cities, within Thailand and outside, access the island’s airport.
Many Australians have decided to call Koh Samui home; and, with proper visa planning and health insurance, it can be a comfortable choice given a tropical lifestyle, relaxed pace of life, affordable living, good healthcare, and an international community on offer. Strict building codes (low-rise only) preserve nature.
The typical investor profile is someone privacy-focused, seeking a tropical retreat with high seasonal rental peaks. Gross yield sits at 5% to 8%. Chaweng Noi, Bophut and Plai Laem are popular choices.
The REMAX website will have you salivating over gorgeous villas, for sure.
All price points are covered. Listings in Australian dollars (approx.) have a 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom hillside villa with ocean views just a four-minute drive to Lamai Beach for under $1million, a onebedroom beach villa in a five-villa estate at around $2million to a 12 bedroom sea view luxury pool villa for around $12million. In Bophut, a 4-bedroom townhouse was just over $280k, and a 2-bedroom house was under $240k.
FIVE OF THE BEST EXPERIENCES
/ Relax on your choice of beach with crystal-clear water and soft white sand.
/ Watch the sunset from a beachside bar in Fisherman’s Village, Bophut.
/ Enjoy a traditional Thai massage at a beachfront spa.
/ Visit Ang Thong National Marine Park for snorkelling, kayaking, and island views.
/ Explore the Big Buddha and Wat Plai Laem temples.
THE REAL ESTATE LANDSCAPE
As Thailand’s real estate market continues to grow, an increasing number of foreigners, including Australians, are exploring investment opportunities throughout the country.
Thai laws prevent Australians from owning certain properties outright, but there are options.
You can buy a villa but not own the land freehold; you can own a building structure through leasehold (30-year renewable); and you can own up to 40 per cent of the total units in a condominium.
Example: An Australian leasing a villa listed for $1.8mil won't pay the full sale
price. Instead, they might pay a lease premium of 10 -20% of that value for a 30-year renewable term, plus fees and charges.
Bottom line is that Thai law restricts foreigners from directly owning land, so accurate legal guidance to ensure compliance is imperative.
Partner with a highly regarded and reputable local real estate agent with in-depth knowledge of the market you are buying into.
Thailand today: a mature ‘lifestyle investment’ hub that consistently delivers 3% to 8% gross rental yields depending on the location and asset class.

YOUR HOME LOAN OPTIONS UNDERSTAND
with Shannon Arnold
Arelationship break-up can be one of life’s most challenging transitions. Alongside the emotional impact, there are practical decisions to make. For many Australians, the family home is the most significant asset involved.
While some separating couples decide to sell the property, clear the mortgage, and move on independently, others wish to retain the family home, for financial stability, emotional reasons or to minimise disruption for children.
Holding onto the home is possible, but it often requires careful planning and expert advice.
Understanding the value of the family home
Before any decision, it’s essential to establish the property’s current value. If the home is sold on the open market, the sale price will provide a clear answer. However, when one party intends to buy out the other, an accurate valuation becomes critical.
A local real estate agent can provide a market appraisal, which is useful as a guide, but it has no legal standing and may be influenced by the prospect of a future listing. Online valuation tools are another option, though they rely on historical sales data and may not reflect current market conditions or unique features of the property.
For the most reliable outcome, many separating couples choose to engage a licensed property valuer. While this comes at a cost, a formal valuation provides an independent and defensible figure that can be used in negotiations or legal proceedings.
Managing the mortgage after separation
If the home is still under mortgage and one party wishes to retain it, financing becomes a key issue. In most cases, you cannot simply continue making repayments on a loan that is in your former partner’s name, as this leaves them financially exposed and may affect their credit history.
Often, the solution is to apply for a new loan or refinance the existing mortgage into one name. Lenders will assess whether you can service the loan on your own, taking into account your income, living expenses and overall financial position.
Income may include salary or wages, self-employed earnings, or other regular payments such as Centrelink benefits, spousal maintenance or child support. Evidence of these income streams is usually required as part of the loan application process.
Refinancing can also allow you to restructure the loan to better suit your new circumstances, whether that means adjusting the loan term, repayment type or interest rate. With multiple lending options available, early advice can help ensure the solution aligns with both your short-term needs and long-term goals.
Professional support matters
Separation is rarely straightforward, particularly when property and finance are involved.
Legal advice is often essential to ensure asset division is fair and compliant with family law requirements. Equally, financial guidance can help you understand what is realistically achievable and how to move forward with confidence.
For those navigating separation, seeking professional support early can reduce stress, prevent costly mistakes and provide clarity at a time when it’s most needed. Understanding your home loan options is an important step toward securing stability and starting the next chapter on solid ground.

TAffordability was a key criterion for the jury this year, as, with costs of living as they are, architects are asked to do more with less. Many projects demonstrated that high-quality outcomes need not come with a high price tag.
he Australian Institute of Architects announced its 2025 National Architecture Awards late last year. Notable winners included Casey Brown Architecture for the Emil Sodersten Award for Interior Architecture with Babylon House, John Ellway for the Eleanor Cullis-Hill Award for Residential Architecture – Houses (Alterations and Additions) with Niwa House, and Studio Bright for the Robin Boyd Award for Residential Architecture - Houses (New) with Hedge and Arbour House.
The Emil Sodersten Award for Interior Architecture: Babylon House | Casey Brown Architecture | NSW | Garigal
Babylon House was nine years in the making and is described as an extraordinary reworking of an existing residence.
The original home was a quirky product of the 1950s and typical of the area, located on the ridge between Pittwater and Avalon Beach.
Since 2015, a long and thoughtful collaboration between Casey Brown Architecture and its new owners has preserved the best of the original house
while incorporating the personality and spirit of the owners.
It is a home full of surprises and attention-grabbers, and completely unlike most conforming home interiors.
You’ll find integrated rock ledges, bathrooms set down a hatch in the floor, bespoke patterns in the floor treatments, crafted handrails, hand-finished timbers, and a stage in the lounge room.
Each
space delivers an experience. Every space and every detail has the heart of the architect and client in it.
Internally, the home draws you deeper with moody tones and textures offset by colour, and after your journey through a combination of internal and external spaces, you arrive at the place of views in all directions through the native Angophora trees.
“Babylon House feels ancient and contemporary all at once, a truly beautiful example of working with the essence of an existing building and bringing
it
back from the brink.”
garden can a sell a home?
Australian agents and property data show gardens genuinely matter.
Anicely presented lawn and garden can boost buyer appeal and perceived value, with agents estimating outdoor beauty can add 15 to 30 per cent to a home’s value and help properties sell faster. Their observations support that first impressions matter. A beautiful garden sets a positive tone before buyers even step inside.
Buyers increasingly value outdoor spaces for relaxation, entertaining, and connection to nature.
In competitive markets, a garden can help a property stand out from others.
Domain's Plant Value Report, a 2025 study with Greener Spaces Better Places, reveals that adding greenery to Australian homes significantly boosts buyer appeal and selling prices, with leafy properties fetching up to 28 per cent more, attracting more views, and selling faster, proving plants signal quality, lifestyle, and investment to buyers.
Findings suggested that agents and sellers working together on a property's garden’s appeal could see a return on investment up to $140,000 for houses and $100,000 for units.
The study’s key findings included that homes with greenery sell for significantly more, with national averages showing a 17 per cent price premium for houses, that green properties spend less time on the market, and that listings with plants attract substantially more buyer views.
The data found that units with a garden balcony saw prices surge by 16.1 per cent and sold about three days faster.
Agents will endeavour to advise their sellers on garden upkeep before a sale, making it a standout feature and maximising selling potential.
The front yard is generally the very first face of the property. Many potential buyers will drive past a property, take one look drive away.
10 reasons TO IMPRESS
/ A well-designed garden can make a property feel more inviting and boost curb appeal.
/ Lush greenery and colourful plants often create a strong first impression for buyers.
/ A beautiful garden can highlight the lifestyle a home offers.
/ Outdoor spaces are a big selling point, especially for families and nature lovers.
/ A charming garden can make a home more memorable to potential buyers.
/ Gardens can increase perceived value and set a property apart from others.
/ People often fall in love with homes that have inviting outdoor spaces.
/ A well-maintained garden can showcase the care and attention given to the property.
/ Gardens can turn a simple home into a personal oasis that buyers desire.
/ Outdoor aesthetics can emotionally connect buyers to a home, speeding up the sale.
Gardens offer a glimpse of a future lifestyle.
True stories
A brownstone with a rooftop garden full of vegetables, flowers, and a small seating area sold almost immediately. Buyers said they felt like they were getting ‘a slice of country in the city’.
A home featured a professionally landscaped garden that had won local awards. The aesthetic appeal of the garden drew crowds during open houses, generating competition that drove up the sale price.
A property lovingly developed over 30 years with hedges, magnolias and garden features, sold well above reserve at auction. The agent and family highlighted the garden as a cherished part of the home’s character, contributing to the competitive bidding environment.
A suburban home had a garden designed with fruit trees, a children’s sandpit, and a dedicated picnic area. Families visiting the home kept imagining weekend gatherings there, and it sold faster than comparable homes without gardens.
A home with a pollinator-friendly garden of native plants attracted environmentally conscious buyers. The garden alone convinced a buyer to choose that house over several others in the same price range.
Tips
Don’t rely on Photoshop alone to make the grass a little bit greener and the gardens more appealing.
Try and have your neighbours on side because their front lawns can also affect your property’s appeal and whether buyers can picture themselves living in the area.
Greenery can transform a space and make a home feel welcoming and alive, whether it’s a leafy balcony, well-placed plants, or a landscaped garden. It’s not just a nice-to-have; it might be a clear economic advantage in today’s property market.
A world ofwellness
Wellness real estate is evolving from a niche luxury experience into a mainstream, global real estate strategy driven by strong market growth and buyer demand for wellness-focused properties.
There is a global wellness trend happening in the real estate landscape.
Wellness real estate is property, including homes, intentionally designed and built to support the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of its occupants. It integrates architecture, technology, and community planning to promote a healthier lifestyle, and it is evolving from a niche luxury experience into the mainstream property market.
The global wellness real estate market was valued at approximately $438 billion in 2023 and some analysts anticipate growth to $2.18 trillion by 2035.
Wellness real estate elements include:
/ Environmental health considerations like clean air and water systems, non-toxic building materials, and mould, noise, and EMF (electric and magnetic fields) mitigation.
/ Design factors like natural light and ventilation, ergonomic and stress-reducing layouts, and connection to nature.
/ Smart health technology like circadian lighting systems, smart thermostats and air quality monitors, and integrated systems for sleep tracking, water hydration alerts, etc.
/ Lifestyle integration with spaces for fitness, meditation, relaxation and social connection.
Here in Australia, we’re nicely positioned for the global wellness real estate trend, thanks to our favourable climate, natural landscapes, and strong tradition of outdoor living. There’s no better time to align your inner well-being and your outdoor spaces than autumn.
Private spas, saunas, gyms and yoga studios are almost mandatory in new high-end home designs.
Wellness wings, rooftop retreat zones, in-house smart air and water purification, circadian lighting, and electromagnetic fields to create serenity, which have become defining features of high-end homes, are finding their way into buyer ‘wants’ in mid-priced sectors.
Discerning buyers are looking for wellness features in homes without the multi-million price tags.
Homeowners are spending typically between $20,000 and $40,000 for common additions like saunas and ice baths in residential upgrades, and adding a higher-priced item such as a red-light bed might take the spend well over $100,000.
The 30-45 age demographic is most keen on homes with gyms, yoga studios, mediation spaces and steam rooms and will lose formal spaces to make way for them.
They want their children to be more active, but yards are becoming smaller. Magnesium pools, indoor ball courts and dance floors provide the answer.
A yoga deck has become one of the most popular additions to wellnessfocused properties.
A simple timber platform that captures early morning light or offers a perfect view can be the serene space for daily stretching, Pilates, meditation, or your discipline of choice. A flat surface, some pots, bamboo screens or canvas shades… and you’ve created a spa-like
atmosphere. The evening light begs for soft outdoor lighting or solar lanterns.
Another idea is to consider a forest bathing corner. Originating in Japan as shinrin-yoku, forest bathing is about slowing down and absorbing the sights, sounds, and scents of a wooded environment… even if you create it through native shrubs, tall grasses, climbing vines over a trellis or archway, and add a bench or hammock.
Water has a profoundly calming element, so a nature-inspired water feature might just be the thing to transform your garden into a restorative oasis. The sound of moving water has been proven to lower heart rate and reduce stress.
Aside from gently trickling fountains and reflective ponds, your space might better suit a tea garden with fragrant herbs, or a fire pit surrounded by earthy seating.
This autumn might be the season for you to intentionally pause, breathe, and align your home life with a deeper sense of balance and peace.
Wellness isn’t just a luxury. It is becoming increasingly recognised a long term investment in property value and residents’ health.
As technology and health awareness continue to advance, wellness features will only become more integrated, and expected.
REIMAGINING DREAMS
A quiet design movement is taking hold across Australia, and it beautifully blends sustainability, history, and contemporary comfort.
Old barns, shearing sheds, rural mills, and industrial warehouses are being transformed into warm, character-laden living spaces, resulting in what has become one of the country’s most interesting lifestyle trends.
If you’ve not heard the term ‘adaptive reuse’ before, it deserves an explanation. It is the sustainable practice of converting old, often historic or underused buildings into new, functional residences, preserving their original character while meeting modern living needs.
It's architectural recycling that gives buildings new purpose, while also tackling housing shortages and urban decay by integrating new living spaces with existing structures. There are the added benefits of saving on waste, energy, and costs compared to new construction, and adding unique character and historical value to the property.
The most sought after for adaptive reuse are warehouses and factories, churches and schools, old post offices or government buildings, and even large, outdated single-family homes.
Australia offers richness and diversity in these original structures.
Historic woolsheds in regional Victoria and New South Wales, once bustling with activity during shearing season, are now quietly evolving into rural hideaways.
In Tasmania, 19th-century water mills are being restored into cosy riverside havens.
On the fringes of major cities - Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide - disused warehouses are becoming spacious and unconventional homes, mixing industrial grit with refined design.
Unique elements, including soaring trusses, weathered hardwood, corrugated iron, stone bases, rusted pulleys, and wide barn doors that open directly onto open paddocks or riverbanks are embedded in the design of the renovation.
An Adelaide church becomes apartments; a Brisbane factory becomes loft studios.
Advances in insulation, glazing and off-grid technology have made it easier to adapt these older structures to all weather conditions.
The ethos is simple: preserve what is beautiful and functional, replace only what is essential, and let the building’s history guide the design.
In regional Victoria, one family transformed a 1910 woolshed into a seasonal retreat used each autumn as a gathering place for extended family. They retained the original spottedgum beams, wall slats, and shearing stands, converting the shearing floor into an expansive open-plan living area. During renovation, they discovered handwritten tallies and workers’ names etched into the timber, now preserved behind glass panels.
In northern Tasmania, two ceramic artists revived an abandoned stone mill beside a fast-running creek. Honouring the mill's rustic charm, they exposed the old grinding mechanisms and restored the water wheel, allowing it to turn slowly as a decorative feature. The upper level, once storage for grain bags, has been reimagined as a loftstyle studio.
In South Australia’s Barossa Valley, a family took on a very different challenge: adapting a corrugated-iron farm warehouse into a sleek, modern home that celebrates its agricultural roots. They preserved the tall industrial frame but inserted insulated pods containing bedrooms and quiet spaces, creating a striking contrast between new materials and the original skin.
Adaptive reuse homes are not merely renovations. Rather, they are acts of preservation, preserving heritage while crafting meaningful contemporary spaces. Often, they are captivating examples of owners, designers and builders who embraced the emotional pull of a structure even before they had a complete vision for it.
In essence, adaptive reuse is about giving old buildings a new chapter, making them relevant and useful for future generations.
let it go.
There are just some household items that you really should not hold on to forever.
Seven household essentials you might need to replace:
Toothbrushes & toothbrush heads
Dentists recommend replacing your old toothbrush with a new one, or the brush head if you use an electric toothbrush, around every three months. Most of us don’t do it often enough.
The toilet brush
Doesn’t this one get overlooked! You really need to replace a toilet brush every few months or when you see the bristles start to bend, whichever comes first. If not, the nasty bacteria might build up. Spraying with disinfectant or bleach solution might extend the life, but there comes a time when they need to be binned.
Mascara
Some users are religious about replacing their mascara every two to four months, while others will hold on to the product until they get no colour from the brush. The fact is germs and microbes can be present inside a mascara tube. Replacing your mascara every three months or so reduces bacterial growth and can help with dryness, allergic responses, redness, and irritation. It really is worthwhile listening to the eye specialists on this one!
Plastic cutting boards
If your cutting board is frequently used, replace it after about two years. Nasty bacteria can fester and hide in those cuts and scratches on the board. Tip: A good timber cutting board should have a longer lifespan than a plastic one if you care for it properly.
Sunscreen
Have you checked what’s in your cupboard lately? You are probably like most of us, with bottles and tubes that have been around so long we can’t remember when we bought them! According to experts, we should toss out that half empty bottle of sunscreen from last summer. Sunscreen breaks down over time. If sunscreen is left in the car or in direct sunlight, it can deteriorate faster. Most products will have an expiry date for good reason, and it’s usually no more than three years from purchase. If there is no date, after three years it should be binned, the experts suggest.
Soda maker bottles
Soda maker bottles need to be replaced every three or four years for safety reasons. The plastic walls of the bottle weaken over time. After the expiry date, the bottle is more likely to break during carbonation and might injure people nearby.
Pillows
Because our bodies, sleep habits and pillow fillings are all different, there’s no set lifespan for pillows. Most experts recommend replacing them after one to two years to help ensure they stay clean, supportive and free of allergens. Excessive yellowing or lumps in the pillow, or your sore neck, might be a sign you need a new one. Regular care and cleaning, following the manufacturer’s instructions, will help to prolong the pillow’s life.
Scheme fuels surge in affordable homes
- with Lyn Cox
From Australia's first major government scheme to encourage home ownership in 1918 by providing low-interest, long-term loans to help ex-servicemen and women establish themselves through to the introduction of the First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) scheme and the start of the modern era of first home buyer assistance on 1st July 2000, and on to the federal government’s Home Guarantee Scheme (HGS) launched in January 2020 and expanded on 1st October last year, there have been debates around whether these incentives improve long-term affordability or tend to push up entry-level property prices.
Cotality, the largest independent provider of property information, analytics and property-related risk management services in Australia and New Zealand, has keenly tracked impacts of deposit guarantee incentives on home values.
New analysis from Cotality shows that since September last year, lowerpriced homes, meaning those with an estimated value under the expanded Home Guarantee Scheme price caps, have generally recorded stronger growth than higher-priced homes.
Different sectors of the housing market are experiencing different rates of growth in home values based on whether properties fall under or above the scheme’s price caps, which are location-specific price caps to align with market values, plus uncapped number of places and no income limits for first-home buyers.
Across the capital cities, Sydney’s cap is $1.5 million, Melbourne is $950,000, Brisbane is $1 million, Perth is $850,000, Adelaide is $950,000, Canberra is $1 million, Hobart is $700,000, and Darwin
is $600,000. The Home Guarantee Scheme website has a search tool to check the specific price cap for your suburb or postcode.
In the December quarter, homes with an estimated value under the price caps increased 3.6 per cent, while homes with an estimated value above the price caps increased 2.4 per cent in the same period.
“The expanded five per
cent deposit guarantee has sharpened demand at lower price points, with under cap markets outperforming across almost nine in ten regions,” Tim Lawless, Cotality’s research director said.
“We’re seeing a clear shift in momentum, with buyers increasingly targeting homes that fall under the new price caps— especially in Sydney, where the value gap is most pronounced.”
“This trend was already visible before October 1, suggesting some buyers acted early to secure properties before competition increased.”
Possible explanations for the stronger growth at lower price points:
/ Buyers anticipating increased competition and price pressure may have sparked demand from those who didn’t necessarily need to rely on the deposit guarantee.
/ Home values trending up coupled with high interest rates and serviceability limits may be pushing demand toward lowerpriced, more affordable properties.
/ Investors in the lower price segment are competing with first-home buyers and mainstream demand.
The pattern of stronger growth at values below the price caps is consistent across every capital city and regional market except the ACT.
Regions across Australia, and in fact, 78 out of 88 regions analysed, have shown a stronger growth rate for properties with a value under the price caps.
Cotality concludes that, overall, the expanded deposit guarantee appears to have amplified demand for lower-priced homes, contributing to faster growth in this segment of the market compared to higher-priced properties.

MAccommodating multigenerations
ultigenerational homes are increasingly more evident in the Australian real estate landscape as families deal with rising living costs, a desire for stronger family connection and a cultural shift toward shared caregiving.
More households now include grandparents, adult children, or extended family members under one roof.
You may be heading in this direction as you look to build a new home or renovate. Or perhaps you may purchase a property with the view to renovation.
Design for multigenerational living is no longer about simply adding an extra bedroom.
It requires thoughtful floor planning, smart zoning, and a design mindset centred on privacy, independence, and togetherness, which all begins with an understanding of how each generation lives, works, and rests.
Whether it’s a grandparent seeking a quiet retreat, young adults needing autonomy, or parents juggling work and childcare, the layout must respect privacy and separate routines.
Creating dedicated zones often involves dividing the home into clear ‘living wings’
or using separate levels or courtyards.
The ‘granny flat’ within the home is a popular solution for a secondary suite, and, unlike a detached backyard dwelling, it is connected but self-contained. Clever placement is essential to give a semiprivate entrance and reduce traffic through shared spaces.
The granny flat typically includes a bedroom, a sitting area, a compact kitchenette, and its own bathroom, allowing older parents or young adults independence while staying close.
The dual-living arrangement is another growing trend. Here, a separate living room and bathroom is assigned to each generation while shared zones, like kitchens and dining areas, are family hubs. Individual wings allow everyone to retreat.
A multigenerational floor plan works best when moving about the home feels natural and not intrusive.
Courtyards come into their own for bringing daylight into multiple rooms while creating a visual buffer between generations. Two wings of a home can face each other across a central garden, where they are close enough for connection, separate enough for privacy.
Managing sound is critical. Acoustic insulation in walls and ceilings, soft flooring materials, and strategic door placement help maintain harmony.
Creating a happy home environment for multigenerational living can only occur with thoughtful planning and clever design throughout the entire home.
Locating bedrooms for infants or elderly family members away from communal zones or entertainment spaces is good design and use of back-to-back bathrooms reduces plumbing noise, while study nooks and work areas benefit from soundproofing for those working from home.
The kitchen is often the most challenging space in a multigenerational renovation.
A two-zone approach is an option, a main kitchen paired with a kitchenette, rather than massively expanding a single kitchen. This creates flexible meal routines and prevents kitchen congestion. Large islands, dual sinks, and generous pantry storage also support shared living.
Outdoor areas play an important role and should deliver both shared and private experiences. A large deck or alfresco dining area can be the heart of multigenerational family gatherings, while smaller garden nooks, sunny patios, or shaded sitting spots allow individuals to relax alone.
Consider older residents with level access, non-slip paths, and soft landscaping, and secure lawns or play areas for the youngsters.
Adaptability is key.
Families change. Children grow up, adult children may move out (and return), and grandparents may require additional support, so renovations that accommodate flexibility extend the life of your investment. Consider, for instance, sliding partitions, convertible rooms, removable joinery, and ageproofed plumbing and fixtures.
Homeowners often repurpose underused rooms when renovating. Formal lounges become private sitting rooms, garages convert into self-contained pods, and attics or basements transform into quiet, secluded teenager zones.
Renovating for multigenerational living is ultimately about balancing privacy and connection, independence and support, individuality and collective comfort.
THE OUTHOUSE
How to survive a bathroom/ laundry renovation with three young boys.
WITH JENNIFER KENT
It was out with the old and in with the new at our house over summer - the old bathroom, our only bathroom, that is.
It was time for a change aesthetically, but also structurally as we unfortunately found out months prior through an insurance claim.
You see, the little house that my husband and I bought not long after we were married is more… well… vintage… in age, and its prior life as a rental had it seen it somewhat neglected.
When we first landed here, our plan was simple: a few small touch-ups and upgrade in a few years’ time.
Could the bathroom have used an upgrade when we first bought it? Probably, but our priority instead shifted to our growing family.
Over years that followed, we added three beautiful, busy boys to our family and our decision to buy on a large block reaped its own rewards. You probably guessed that the bathroom got pushed way down the priority list.
So where does Mum, Dad and three young boys sharing one bathroom to be completely ripped out and gutted, go? Nowhere.
Enter: The outhouse.
Now when I think temporary, outdoor bathroom I think camping shower and loo. Thankfully, my husband had other (better) ideas and built a functioning outdoor bathroom for us all. What an absolute gem of a man!
While we may have had a little nudge to get started, we
Our layout was redesigned many times, our tile choices honed over, finishes mixed and matched to balance both a style we loved with the practicality of being the family bathroom.
An advantage of some experienced plumbers in the family helped us along the way with technical advice surrounding layout and things we needed to consider such as water supply, efficiency and pressure, heating, ventilation, drain sizes, fittings and fixtures… they got all the questions and more.
Our biggest decision by far was the room layout, having chosen to change the floorplan to maximise space in an already large bathroom (the benefit of it being an older house).
This involved re-routing the drainage. For anyone that hasn’t had to cut up an internal slab, it’s about as loud and messy as you can get! Suffice to say, the kids and I spent a fair chunk of time away from the house in those early demo days.
Fast forward six weeks and we’re out of the outhouse into a brand-new bathroom.
While we lost around 2.5 square metres to allow for additional home storage, the change in floorplan allowed us to install a larger bath, more internal storage and a larger shower, while still retaining a decentsized bathroom.
It goes to show, if you’re clever in your design choices and think practically, downsizing doesn’t have to mean less.
My tips for surviving a full re-gut, renovation with young
kids?
Firstly, remind yourself of the end goal… constantly. It will be worth it!.
Secondly, let go of any expectations of order in your household, at least for a while.
Thirdly, keep the necessary items handy, the essentials that you would take on holiday. Everything else can go in storage.
Lastly, let the kids join in the fun of decisionmaking. My boys proudly share that they helped build our bathroom.
The next project? That’s a second bathroom, just for us. This time without the need for the outhouse and before the little boys turn into big boys. I refuse to share a bathroom with teenage boys!
Autumn
Asoftening of light, cooler evenings, and landscapes brushed with gold, amber, and deep burnished red… a shift in rhythm. That’s autumn in Australia, the perfect time to explore places where architecture and landscape work in harmony:
Southern Queensland Highlands & Scenic Rim, QLD
The Southern Queensland Highlands, including Stanthorpe, Ballandean, and the Granite Belt, burst into a palette of gold, crimson, and deep burgundy, in a state not readily associated with autumn colour.
Cold enough for frost (and very occasionally snow), a distinctly autumnal atmosphere offers some of the most underrated cool season escapes in the country.
Architecture draws from rural European influences, with stone cottages, tin-roofed farmhouses, and country lodges scattered among vineyards and orchards. Granite boulders blend with timber cladding at cellar doors and wide verandas take in sweeping views across the tablelands.
The Scenic Rim also offers eco-lodges and architect-designed cabins set among volcanic ridges and dense forest, with bold timber framing, elevated decks, and large glazing panels to frame the dramatic peaks of Mount Barney, Mount Lindesay, and Main Range.
Australian Alpine Regions
The alpine areas of Victoria and New South Wales take on a European-like charm in autumn. Tree-lined streets in towns like Bright, Beechworth, Jindabyne and Thredbo glow with colour, as oak, poplar and maple leaves cascade across heritage shopfronts.
Classic timber lodges dot the slopes, many updated with modern alpine design, such as large panes of glazing to capture mountain views, stone fireplaces, and warm, natural interiors.
In places like Dinner Plain, timber-clad cabins and corrugated metal structures echo the region’s cattleman heritage while offering high-end comfort.
Daylesford, VIC
Autumn transforms Daylesford, with its mineral springs, wellness escapes, artisanal
explorations
food culture and architectural diversity, into a postcard-perfect retreat.
Weatherboard cottages, Victorian-era terraces, arts-and-crafts homes, and converted rural buildings sit comfortably alongside contemporary architectdesigned hideaways.
The landscape, scattered with volcanic hills, lakes, and towering deciduous trees, magnifies the character of these structures. Historic guesthouses and restored miner’s cottages glow warmly under the soft afternoon sun.
Adelaide Hills, SA
Autumn in the Adelaide Hills is pure visual poetry. Vineyards shift from summer green to warm gold, while European-style gardens around Stirling and Hahndorf blaze with colour.
The region’s architecture is shaped by its heritage, with ‘fachwerk’ (timber frame) buildings, stone farmhouses, and slate-roofed cottages reflecting early German influence. As well, modern sleek eco-lodges and minimalist hillside homes frame sweeping vineyard views,
blending contemporary materials with traditional textures.
Wineries like those around Lenswood and Uraidla feature architecture that mirrors the natural folds of the landscape.
Margaret River, WA
Margaret River’s autumn is mellow and sunlit, with warm days, cool nights, and vineyards ripening with deep reds and purples. The region’s architecture is bold yet organic, influenced by both coastal and bushland settings. Homes and cellar doors feature extensive glazing, limestone, roughsawn timber, and rammed earth.
Modern architectural retreats tucked among karri forests or perched above coastal cliffs feel particularly magical in autumn, and the coming together of stone hearths, timber ceilings and autumn colours creates a special experience.
Huon & Tamar Valleys, TAS
Tasmania may be the country’s most naturally suited autumn destination.
The island’s cool climate, rich European heritage, and abundance of deciduous
trees create some of this country’s most striking seasonal colour. From the Huon Valley to the Tamar Valley and the rural towns of the Midlands, autumn transforms Tasmania into a landscape of flaming maples, golden poplars, and crisp misty mornings.
In the Huon Valley, modern cabins and pavilions crafted from local timbers sit on hillsides overlooking apple orchards and rivers.
In the Tamar Valley, cellar doors use rammed earth, polished concrete, and extensive glazing to reflect the region’s still waters and rolling hills.
Tasmania’s luxury lodge scene adds another layer to the architectural experience.
Autumn invites you to explore the interplay between built form and natural landscape across all these regions, from alpine cabins to vineyard estates, from heritage towns to contemporary hideaways.
Top three features sought by buyers: swimming pools, garages, and air conditioning.
WHAT I really want
We know what the Spice Girls wanted when they sang those words in 1996, but do we know what home buyers want in 2026?
While ‘conversations’ suggest that functionality, sustainability, and personal well-being will be priorities in a home this year, it is interesting to look at research on the most wanted home features for 2025.
PropTrack, owned by the REA Group, identified the most searched-for features by web site users on realestate.com.au.
Keyword search data shows that ‘swimming pool’ topped the list.
This was closely followed by ‘garage’. Many buyers prioritise a place to park their car, store their gear, or perhaps even start a business.
With 91% of households having at least one car and 55% of households having two or more, according to Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) data, that’s not surprising.
According to data from the Bureau of Infrastructure and Transport Research Economics, there were about 560,000 more registered motor vehicles in January 2025 than the previous year.
The years 2023, 2024 and 2025 were the three hottest years on record, which also makes it unsurprising that ‘air conditioning’ came in third place.
Ensuite, outdoor area, single storey, balcony, built in wardrobes, dishwasher and heating rounded off the ten most searched keywords of 2025.
The search term that showed the greatest increase last year over previous years was ‘single storey’, where the number of searches on that rose by 72 per cent. Following a similar theme, ‘elevator’, ‘step free entry’ and ‘wide doorways’ also had big increases.
Again, looking to the ABS where population projections estimate that the number of people in Australia aged 65 and over will more than double in the next 40 years to 10.56 million, it makes sense.
Most older people want to remain in their homes as they age, according to the final report from the Royal Commission into Aged Care. Mobility declines in old age and single-storey and step-free homes help with ease of access, while wide doorways better accommodate mobility aids.
The significant increases in use of such accessibilityfocused search terms suggest that a growing number of buyers are focused on finding ‘forever homes’.
A growing interest in dual living and dual income was also evidenced, indicating that buyers were seeking properties designed for multigenerational living or offering an income stream through renting out part of the property.
