Upon completion, Amara will feature 180 completed homes built and designed by AVID’s award winning building arm Villaworld Homes, in close consultation with experts in building trends and interior design.
AVID General Manager Queensland Anthony Demiris said Amara had appealed to buyers from Brisbane, interstate, and the Gold Coast since its launch nearly a year ago.
“Amara offers brand new complete homes, with quality appliances and finishes, in a rare bushland location that has easy access to both Brisbane and the Gold Coast,” Mr Demiris said.
“We’ve had phenomenal interest in Amara since launching, with the most interest coming from people who are upgrading their homes, followed by first home buyers.”
Demand was also being driven by interstate migration – a trend predicted to add a further 711,000 to 1.4 million people to Queensland by 2071[1].
“Interestingly, at least 12 per cent of sales at Amara so far are buyers coming from other Australian states,” Mr Demiris said.
“The community also really appeals to people from the northern Gold Coast area, who see more benefit in moving into a new and spacious home with everything done for them instead of spending time and the hassle renovating.
“The quality design and the fact that buyers don’t pay anything for the land or build other than the initial deposit until settlement is providing a lot of peace of mind in today’s market.”
Hybrid working arrangements during the pandemic presented Amara resident Nicole Horan the opportunity to return to her Queensland roots – so when her Sydney employer offered her a remote working arrangement, she jumped at the chance.
“I wanted to live on the Gold Coast and the position of Amara, at Ormeau, was perfect as it was halfway between friends on the Gold Coast and to Brisbane where I might be needed in the office,” she said.
