The first lot of relocatable homes that are being sold to the public through an expression of interest moves into the second week of property viewings on Monday.

PRD Northern Rivers Principal and Licensee Rob Horder said the first week of viewings saw quite a few people at each location, depending on the condition of the house.

"Frank Street was popular. We had 18 people through there. Most of the properties, we've had four to six," Rob explained.

"The Murwillumbah properties were popular as well. We had probably 8 to 10, with 12 the biggest group through there. Other than that, they were sort of five and six as well.

As for who is turning up at the Open Homes, Rob said there are a few people who turned up at every inspection, looking for the right house to purchase, and then there are those who have viewed the houses on the PRD website, who are very specific about what they want.

"Some are looking for a fully renovated house, of which there are some, while others are looking for a smaller house."

Rob explained that a smaller house doesn't mean cheaper moving costs.

"The biggest cost is the truck. So you've got to split them. Most of them have got to be split in two. So, whether it's a three-bedroom with a sleep-out or two-bedroom, you're going to need two trucks anyway.

"Of course, the bigger the house, the more stumps, so there is variation. People need to do that research with the house removal companies to get quotes and, basically, look at the access to remove them and the access to where they're taking them to.

"We have a client that I previously sold a block of land to. They've got a young family, and they're looking to move a house to the block they're purchasing. We've had a lot of people looking to move to rural or rural/residential blocks, so I guess the availability is there if people have those blocks already, and you can move one of these homes onto those blocks.

"A lot of blocks in the new residential estates have covenants, so you can't move a second-hand home onto them. There are some developments where I believe they're starting to relax those covenants."

Rob said he hasn't spoken to any flood-affected people looking to purchase a house and relocate, but that did not mean they weren't part of the viewing groups.

"There may be some that have gone through that I haven't had the opportunity to talk to in more detail with. But mostly, I'm seeing local buyers looking to move houses locally, which is a good thing."

"There are a few investors who I have spoken to looking to move the home onto a block and then rent them out, but mostly, I think they're looking at more owner-occupiers at this point."

One gentleman at the Magellan Street house was looking to relocate a house to his piece of land in Nimbin. Something made possible through Lismore City Council's new planning laws around relocatable homes.

All 31 listed relocatable homes will be open for inspection next week. You can check out the state of the homes via the PRD website.
