Buyers use Gumtree to sell discounted luxury apartments Australia 108, Aurora
Larry Schlesinger AFR Woodcut by Larry Schlesinger
Foreign investors are selling discounted apartments in iconic Melbourne high-rise developments like Australia 108, Aurora and Premier Tower on classified websites like Gumtree before settlement as they battle to secure bank funding.
Among the discounted offerings, a Queensland-based investor is selling a 49 square metre one-bedroom apartment in Australia 108, the tallest residential building in the Southern Hemisphere, for $459,000 – having bought it off the plan for almost $500,000.
"Big price drop," reads the ad for the apartment.
In Singaporean developer Fragrance's Beyonce-shaped Premier Tower, also under construction, a two-bedroom, two bathroom apartment is being offered for sale for $650,000, well under the $700,000 asking price for similar sized two-bedroom apartments. Sales in the development have been stuck at about 74 per cent.
One agent marketing apartments on the Gumtree said she had numerous apartments to sell in Premier Tower. "About half of these buyers can't get a loan," she said.
Other developments being sold on the cheap include Far East Consortium's multi-tower West Side Place, which will include a new Ritz-Carlton hotel.
The Gumtree ad, written entirely in Mandarin, says the first offerings in the development had been "robbed hot" and urges buyers not to miss out on the "Melbourne King". However, the prices appear to be lower than those advertised online by the project's marketing agent Colliers International.
Tougher criteria
Mortgage broker Paul Williams from Mortgage Choice South Melbourne said an increasing number of local real estate agents were contacting his office to find solutions for people who are yet to secure finance.
"We are assisting overseas-based buyers (expats and non-expats) who are currently unable to make settlements for high-density properties because they may have purchased a couple of years ago and had pre-approval prior to changes in lender policy such as tougher assessment criteria on foreign income combined with tighter LVR restrictions," Mr Williams said.
"As mortgage brokers, we have helped these clients by switching lenders, due to valuation shortfalls or lender policy changes from purchase or pre-approval time to settlement time.
"Unfortunately some borrowers purchasing off the plan have had to forfeit deposits, sell at a lower price than they paid, or raise significant extra funds.
"To ensure better outcomes for clients, we caution risk-averse people from buying inner or city fringe locations, when they are unable to cover valuation or lender credit assessment shortfalls."
Mr Williams said there was a silver lining for some first home owners, with some snapping up apartment bargains at the expense of investors.
"Prospective property buyers of off-the-plan apartments should always speak to a professional mortgage broker because we understand the appetite of each of our panel of lenders and can help secure the right finance," he said.

Ex-Macquarie banker buys bulk apartments in Brisbane tower
Matt Cranston AFR Woodcut by Matthew Cranston
Former Macquarie banker Andrew Hooper-Nguyen and his business partner, the co-founder of ASX-listed Excel Coal, Chris Ellis, have made a bulk purchase of brand new apartments at Rich Lister Tim Gurner's FV tower in Brisbane where there have already been discounts of up to 24 per cent on sales made four years ago.
FV, a three-tower project in Fortitude Valley on the Brisbane city fringe, was arguably Mr Gurner's most ambitious and riskiest project.
Launched in 2014, three apartments in the project have resold this year for discounts of between 2 per cent and 24 per cent on their original off-the-plan purchase price as tightening finance restricts local and foreign buyers in particular. The third and final tower of the FV project is still under construction.
Last month The Australian Financial Review reported that billionaire pokies king Len Ainsworth had swooped on a collection of newly-built Brisbane apartments by as Metro Property for a discount of about 15 per cent off their original price.
"Market weakness has been caused by over-supply, and to a large degree, regulatory measures which have artificially ...
"Market weakness has been caused by over-supply, and to a large degree, regulatory measures which have artificially dampened lending to investors and foreigners," Mr Hooper-Nguyen said.
The sale of apartments in Mr Gurner's FV tower to the ex-Macquarie banker and his business partner's property vehicle Casanova Property are recorded in land titles as rebated sales and range from $391,800 for a 52-square metre to a $474,800 for a 56-square metre property.
Mr Hooper-Nguyen, who also purchased other apartments in the project through another four separate vehicles, declined to comment on the purchases.
However he said the inner-Brisbane apartment market represented a "once-in-a-decade opportunity" for value investors.
"Market weakness has been caused by over-supply, and to a large degree, regulatory measures which have artificially dampened lending to investors and foreigners," Mr Hooper-Nguyen told the Financial Review.
"However, the over-supply is working itself out far quicker than most observers had expected due to a strengthening Queensland economy, strong net migration and record price differentials with Sydney and Melbourne unit prices

He said there was still strong rental demand - especially for high-quality developments - with yields roughly double those of Sydney.
"The Brisbane market is supported by a strong public and private investment pipeline; and will unlikely suffer the post-exuberant price appreciation hang-over currently being experienced in other cities."
He also said the Fortitude Valley - where Mr Gurner's FV tower is located, was coming of age.
"I lived in both Richmond and Surry Hills (in Sydney) during their gentrification; and the same is now happening in Fortitude Valley, West End and the CBD."

Earlier this year, the Financial Review reported sales discounts of as much as 27 per cent in Lendlease's The Green high rise development.
Then in October it was revealed that apartment buyers in what will be Australia's third tallest building, Brisbane's 92-storey Skytower, were scrambling to find top-up funds after valuations ordered by banks dropped by as much as 25 per cent.
Much of the buying and big losses on apartments has been borne by Chinese buyers.
In July, an off-the-plan buyer in Mr Gurner's FV tower sold out of a 51-square-metre apartment for $308,000 after having purchased it for $407,000 off the plan in 2014.

Mr Gurner said there had only been one sale "we know of" at a discount of 24 per cent
"That was to a foreign purchaser who could not get funding from local banks a few months after settlement and had no option but to sell immediately– a situation that is very unfortunate and is due to current funding environment,' Mr Gurner said.
He said that there had only been a very small number of resales in the development
'It has been amazing to see that only a handful of sales from original purchasers have re-sold given there are 651 apartments and it is a great sign for the market that people have faith in the product and future of Brisbane.

'The building has been fully tenanted since the 2nd month of being open and there is huge rental demand within the building which is a great sign for the Brisbane market'
He welcomed Mr Hooper-Nguyen and Mr Ellis investment.
'It is a very positive thing for Brisbane to see such sophisticated investors getting involved in a market that is now looking to the next cycle of growth'
'We were thrilled to have Andrew and Chris as investors in the project as they really believe in the project and what the future holds for the Brisbane market'.

墨尔本市中心40万房子买54平米，每平米才7400澳元，连中国的三线城市都比不上，更不用跟香港比了。
香港现在均价是每平米19万，换算后是每平米34000澳元，是墨尔本市中心豪华最高楼房价的5倍。就连最便宜的新界房价也是墨尔本市中心的房价的3倍。
