2/60 Lawson Street, Byron Bay

Why do some properties grow more than others?

This unit located at 2/60 Lawson St, Byron Bay helps us understand why this may happen.

The property has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and one undercover car space and was marketed by Michael Gudgeon and Matthew McCormack of Ray White. They sold it in 5 days!

Experiencing $300,000 growth or a 30% return in 2 years is no mean feat!

The first reason is clearly the area. According to SQM Research Byron Bay has been experiencing fantastic capital growth topping 38% for units over the last 3 years.

For those that have visited Byron before, Lawson street is a premiere location and offers a short walk to Clarke’s Beach, cafes and shops.

Secondly the property seems to have undergone a minor cosmetic renovation which from the images include flooring, updating cabinetry in the kitchen, re-positioning the oven and new kitchen benchtop.

The owners haven’t spent a fortune on these updates, but the investment they put in has given them a more updated fresh looking property.

The third and most interesting point is simple styling. Can you see the difference in colours between the current photos and the original photos?
