CHRISTMAS at HOME: Interest in a beautifully renovated home at 1 Park St, East Lismore, has been so strong the agent Lyn Youngberry said it is likely that new owners will be celebrating Christmas there.

"There's been a mix of interest from first home buyers and young couples through to buyers downsizing," she said.

"It will appeal to all demographics other than large families and there's been an incredible amount of interest, we have an offer on the table currently."

Ms Youngberry advised those looking at getting a foot on the property ladder to be as organised as possible so they move quickly when they find their dream home.

"When house hunting we advise people to have their finance sorted so you need to have spoken to your banker or broker and have all the paperwork started with some form of approval in place so you don't miss out."

"There are two living areas, ideal for a young family, it's on an elevated position of Goonellabah with a leafy outlook and views to the hills," he said.
