This month, we’ve made significant improvements to our commercial laundry with a freshly bituminised car park, enhancing safety for both our customers and employees.

The upgrade includes a new concrete drain to efficiently manage water runoff, making drop-offs and pick-ups for our holiday accommodation services smoother than ever.

Our sister company, Swan Earthmovers, played a crucial role in this project by preparing the site, supplying 25 tonnes of PM2/20mm as a base layer for the bitumen.

This project has not only strengthened our operations but also allowed us to support our broader team, ensuring everything is in top shape for the busy months ahead.

On August 18th, we had a fantastic day at the Lake Albert Golf Club for the Coorong Realty Ambrose Day.

Our Directors, Kerry and Craig Swan, enjoyed the day on the greens, participating in the friendly competition.

As proud sponsors of the golf club, we were delighted to present the winners with specially branded Coorong Realty golf balls.

Sponsoring this day is a reflection of our commitment to giving back to our community.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to support our local community and reinforce the importance of family and community in everything we do.

Libraries SA Firstival was a month-long celebration of incredible events hosted by libraries across South Australia. It provided a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with curiosity and carve out time in our busy lives to try something new.

During August, our Director Kerry Swan hosted a talk on Innovative Management at the Meningie Community Library.

She shared insights into her diverse ventures, which span across real estate, earthmoving, and farming, and discussed her book, Heartfelt Leadership.

Kerry also highlighted her innovative approach to management, reflecting her commitment to leadership development and clear communication.

We were thrilled to be part of such a valuable event and to have the opportunity to showcase Kerry’s expertise.

The Coorong region has seen a rise in real estate with Core Logic data showing a market median price increase of 17.36% in the last 12 months. We are seeing cash buyers downsizing and tree changing to affordable housing under $500k with quick sales. With low stock and less competition our Vendors are benefiting from at least full sale prices.

After so many months of uncertainty turning buyers and sellers off in 2023, a more steady market has emerged, bringing with it stabilising consumer sentiment. As a result, people are transacting with more confidence.

Total listings are currently at well-below-average levels in most markets, meaning vendors are more able to sell in isolation and attract more buyers. While demand may change as the months go on, right now it presents a strong opportunity for sellers.

We are seeing a current buoyancy in buyers with new listing selling relatively quick.

Sea and tree changers are looking for waterfront property to suit their new lifestyle. We have buyers looking to get away from the hustle and bustle and move to the Coorong region.
