Reading , about the new models, the Mitsubishi Imiev, { due next month } costing $62,000, closely folowed by the Tesla, Chinese EV made by BYD at $25,000, Nissan Leaf $40,000, with the Ford, GM Volt at $65,000 and Toyota models due in two years. A plug in Prius is also due, this has both the convenience of petrol and the low cost running of the electric power. While the Imiev is currently, too dear, its available this year, in July. The cost shall halve, as production volumes are expanded over the next two years. The BYD Chinese car is much more reasonable and due, for sale, next year 2011. Apparently the Chinese are expecting to surpass the volume of production of Toyota. The sales of Electric cars are to represent 10% of the world car market in 10 years, and 30 % of Developed country car sales {reference Delloitte}. The subsidies for purchase of an electric car vary from $7,000 to $9,450 in overseas countries.
The point is the electric car is arriving, and cars will remain the dominant form of transport for Suburban people. Currently there are three Imiev cars touring Australia for marketing.

Population Pressures on the House Market!
May 4, 2010 by Tim
Filed under property market, Renovating, tips
Well strike me , flat out like a lizard drinking!!!: popular press is advising that the Australian population grew a ”remarkable ” 452,000 last year alone. This is close to double that of only three years ago. At this rate it suggests an extra one million Australians every two and a half years. Simple arithmetic tells one, we will reach 38 M by 2050, yes, even higher than government forecasts!
This topic has generated some recent political debate: it has become a hot on radio talk back, especially since the release of the Intergenerational report.
Research, shows that student numbers have certainly doubled over the last three years to reach a level of 630,000, the most popular subject for study is English, which can be so handy for residency applications.
Some of the 900,000 expatriate Australians are also returning from overseas, due to lower income taxes in Australia, the stronger Australian dollar and the opportunity from a growing Australian economy.
Until recently, New Zealanders had rights to unrestricted entry, so who knows how many Australians are from NZ : Certainly the government doesnt know!

Solar Power as an home renovating Idea
April 19, 2010 by Tim
Filed under environmental features, new building products, Practical Renovation, Renovating
I understand there are basically three standards of solar panels, they range in value and price from the Chinese products to Japanese and then German quality. In Australia, at the moment, there are great deals where, with a modest 10% deposit one can buy a power system installed and the monthly energy saving largely cover the cost of installation. Thus after two years one is generating both an electricity surplus and a cash surplus. The recently rising prices from $38 to $48.50 of REC certificates and the rise in the $A is allowing the suppliers to offer better deals for home owners. Consult you local power company. I think you might be astonished at how attractive an offer Origin and AGL can make! The Federal government is subsidizing these deal until March 2012. Given recent news reports that electric power will double and triple in the next few years in NSW and Victoria, many households will receive a rude shock if they dont take Action!

Why Population patterns ideas, for home renovating.

The papers, today 29/03/2010 are noting the population pressures on the home market. Given population growth of 435,000 about double that of only two years ago: there is pressure on the rental and home markets. Quite simply there aren t enough being built, current home commencements are around 140,000. When at least 180,000 are needed. Clearly, the prices of second hand homes are rocketing. The Queensland Premier is bleating on about being poorly informed. Anna Bligh seems to think Federal government should be releasing more information. WA and Qld are the fastest growing states and have been for many years. Auction clearance rates are up both in volume and percent terms. Many properties making over the expected valuation in Melbourne.
Where is the immigration pressure coming from? Latest figures reveal they are from India, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, and New Zealand. I claim only six major countries have a big immigration policy: USA, Canada, Germany, UK, Australia and New Zealand. Currently, Canada is cold, NZ is a slower growing, small economy, UK has restrictions on Indians and Pakistanis, USA is a slow economy, Germany has their own prejudices. Given, Australia is one of the faster growing developed countries Australia has particular appeal, noting the above comments.

Extra fast new easy home construction renovating ideas.
March 25, 2010 by Tim
Filed under Bathrooms, Kitchens, outdoor rooms, Practical Renovation, tips
Have mentioned some areas before. Here are some extra ideas.
1 Renovate the laundry. Installing an energy,efficient appliances, it might even pay for itself with energy/water efficiency ratings a new washer/dryer combo, can lift a laundry. These are available on excellent deals, given the slower economy of today. In the USA, often the laundry can be moved into the garage, as a way to free up extra room for living in the home. In the UK, often the Laundry appliances are incorporated in the Kitchen.
2 A home bathroom addition can be as simple as employing a resurfacing contractor, or tiler. They can complete their work in a single day. They will do an inexpensive, transformational makeover, both cheaply and efficiently. Their respray products will transform the colour and finish of a bath, hand basin and tiles in a day. The addition of new door handles, a heater,exhaust fan and heated towel rails, will lift a bathroom dramatically. No one, wants a cold clinical bathroom, some heating does wonders for comfort and reducing mould. Some larger windows and a skylight will add both light and warmth to a bathroom.
3 A garden addition can be well worthwhile, especially a front garden, as it will lift the Street Appeal of a home. The garden can highlight the home. A garden can be a haven and a revitalising and refreshing area. Given the recent water restrictions, the home with a vigorous and lush garden can be seen as a luxury feature:a sign of a well cared for home. A lush garden can be an area of peace and tranquility. Consider, gardening is rated as Australia’s number one outdoor recreation activity. The latest relaxation of the tight water restrictions has been measured to add hundred” s of millions to the State economy.
4 A kitchen makeover/addition can be one of the best ways to add value to the home. The current trend is to establish an open plan kitchen. A good cleaning, painting, some new granite bench tops, new lighting, splash backs and door handles can revitalise a kitchen. I always renovate the kitchen, as I see it as a major feature area. Building an open plan kitchen with a view from the kitchen food preparation area. No one wants to be enclosed in a kitchen, away from the guests and family. I understand in the USA, that a kitchen has become basically a wall of appliances in the dining area. Knock down a wall enclosing an old kitchen, install an Island bench space and modern cupboards. A new kitchen is one of the best renovation projects. Kitchen companies are offering excellent deals including discounts on appliances at the moment, due to the slower economy.
