North Ryde

<html><body>
Former Better Homes and Gardens landscaper, Jason Hodges's heritage-listed home in North Ryde has been sold for $1.87 million as he turns his focus onto Buxus Balls of Berry.

The <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-north+ryde-133374162" target="_blank">126 Twin Road property</a> was listed just months after Hodges was axed from the popular Seven's lifestyle which he had been apart of for 15 years.

The 1887 residence initially had a $1.9 million price guide through McGrath agent John McManus. 

<div class="storysegment2 segmentContentFull">
The home was first bought in 2011 by Hodges and partner Lisa, a horticulturalist, for $685,000.

With a preserved home front, the home features landscaped gardens with lawn, hedging, stepping stones and topiary. Meanwhile, the backyard comes with a pizza oven.

The couple, who have two children, have a property in Berry, bought just days before news came that he had been dropped last December. The two-hectare property cost $1.25 million with last month’s settlement papers showing no registered financing was required.

Hodges also has a nearby one-hectare holding. It cost $122,000 in 2014 with frontage to Broughton Creek but with limited building permission, being zoned (1g) Rural Flood Liable. He spends much of his time on the solar-powered buxus farm with a hut built from stuff from the tip.

He said he will turn his focus to his business, Buxus Balls Of Berry. On Instagram, the popular landscaper writes, "Well the show will go on."

Having been apart of the Seven's  cast since 2005, Hodges was reportedly “gutted” when axed from the program, but also grateful.

“From the first day I have been pinching myself — average student, average footballer, average landscaper, average bloke,” he said on social media.

His career highlights included his medal-winning garden designs at the Chelsea Flower Show in London.

He was replaced by landscape designer and TV presenter Charlie Albone, who moved to the program from Foxtel’s Selling Houses Australia.

For most investors, location is the top priority for purchasing a property, and Sydney's North Ryde is one such suburb. 
Median house prices in North Ryde increased by 28.12% over the last 12 months, positioning it in the top 10 percent of all Australian suburban markets for the 12 months to December 2015, according to Core Logic RP Data.
Further, according to Your Investment Property magazine, 87 percent of properties within North Ryde are stand alone or detached housing, implying a current undersupply of apartments. 
In this context, Frasers Property Australia’s Centrale development in North Ryde continues to attract investors, who represent approximately 70 percent of buyers so far.
Comprising four buildings, Centrale will have 380 dwellings in a mix of one, two and three-bedroom configurations. The apartments will feature open plan interiors, designed to maximise seamless indoor-outdoor living, with many boasting views out to the Sydney city skyline.
“Centrale satisfies specific demand for high quality, well connected and smartly designed apartments in an area undergoing significant transformation. Investors and owner-occupiers can see the change happening locally and recognise the future possibilities,” Nigel Edgar, NSW Residential Division general manager, Frasers Property Australia, said.
One of the investors, Anna Crino, who owns a one-bedroom apartment, said, “I was actively looking for an apartment in the North Ryde area. After I visited the Centrale display suite, I instantly responded to the smart design and practical layout of the apartment.”
“The apartment is spacious with a contemporary design. I could see it has great potential for future tenants, with the flexibility to suit either a single person or couple.”
Centrale is part of the NSW government’s North Ryde Urban Activation Precinct, expected to become one of Sydney’s most popular residential and recreational areas.
The furnished display suite at Centrale, situated off Delhi Road in North Ryde, is open 7 days a week 11am to 5pm.  
Centrale, designed by award-winning Turner Architects, Centrale offers contemporary, open plan interiors filled with natural light and views of the landscaped podium gardens or the Sydney city skyline.
Centrale apartments are located on Delhi Road, just a short distance to North Ryde train station and local shops, cafes, hospitals and parks.
Once stage was over 70 percent sold, Centrale put stage two on the market late last year with apartments priced from $575,000.

The North Ryde estate of the late jazz musician Ken Flannery is set to be sold.
Ken, who played with the likes of Louise Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald during his career, owned the property with wife Patricia for decades.
The iconic fibre home was established in North Ryde's post war, returned soldiers estate.
Set on a level 556 sqm, the home has three bedrooms, one bathroom and a large covered deck which overlooks the lawns.
It has a price guide of $1.30 million and $1.35 million for its August 13 auction through McGrath Ryde agents Kim Toyer-Muttley and Sharon Skrabanich.
Ken founded the iconic Port Jackson Jazz Band, which was compared in an early edition of the Australian Woman's Weekly 'to be as iconic as the Sydney Harbour Bridge.'
He lived a humble life but had the experience of being taken to Hollywood in his early 20's by two professional American musicians, who paid for the trip after hearing him play in Australia.
Up until his death in January, Ken was still heard playing his trumpet by the neighbours.

North Ryde seeing strong unit price growth: Investar

<html><body>
Builder Dominic Baljak’s newly-constructed North Ryde home fetched $2.63 million at its pre-auction sale.
The 72 Eastview Avenue house has six bedrooms, five bathrooms, a double garage and a pool and sits on a 613 square metre block.
The buyers were a family returning to Sydney after living on the Central Coast.
“The last three luxury home sales in North Ryde have all been sold pre-auction,” Baljak noted.
The original offer from the buyer was $2.5 million.
“Although after seeing nearby 4 Adam Street (Ryde) sell for $2.79 million they were motivated to stretch to $2.63 million,” the McGrath selling agent Stefon Bertram said.
The Eastview Avenue price ranks as the highest priced sale on the west side of Lane Cove Road and it was the highest in the suburb until a $2.7 million sale on Neil Street late last week.
“There has been more prestige Ryde, North Ryde and East Ryde homes sold in the past three months, than the whole of the prior 12 months,” Bertram said.
