Brad Shipway Brisbane Property

Home buyers in Brisbane are a little sick of hearing these common phrases when they're out inspecting properties.

1. We have multiple offers. Even though the market is a little slower, this is still being said. If you're a buyer, this is the best market to be making offers to not hear this.

2. It's a blank canvas with so much potential. Unfortunately, property is so expensive, any blank canvas needs special consideration with the cost of renovating not slowing down.

3. The sellers want an unconditional offer. As a buyer, the clauses are there to protect you, don't feel forced into making an unconditional offer unless you're confident you know what you're doing.

4. Buyers are frustrated right now and as much as I love auctions, a lot of buyers hear that phrase and run a mile.

5. Legally, in some cases this can be true. In others, the seller can choose to allow the agent to talk about recent sales nearby. As an agent, why wouldn't you want the ability to talk about sales nearby, it shows you know the market. Not every sale will be relevant, but it can sometimes justify the potential sale price to a buyer...unless the seller wants too much.

What are you sick of hearing?

Think about the last time someone asked you, “Do you know someone who can help with this?”

A strong business network helps you answer that question with confidence. You get to know what other business owners do, who they help and the kind of introduction that would make a difference.

🏡 Buying and selling at the same time? Here’s what you need to know about “subject to sale”.

A subject-to-sale offer can give buyers important protection, but it can also make an offer less attractive to a seller, especially when they have other buyers ready to proceed without conditions.

Why Is a Subject to Sale Offer Less Attractive to Sellers?
Because the sale is hinging on someone else's sale, and the seller doesn't know if your price expectation on your own property is realistic. From their point of view, they're taking their property off the market (or turning down other buyers) to wait on a chain of events they can't control.
Your Alternative: Selling First
You have two options if you'd rather not go subject to sale:
👉️Sell, then rent or move in with someone temporarily while you look for your next home
👉️Sell with a longer settlement (90 or 120 days) and buy in that window

A longer settlement puts a timeline on your purchase and can get a bit messy - it's also not always attractive to your buyers, who are often keen to get into the property, depending on their own rental or selling situation.

There's no right or wrong way to do this. It depends on your situation.
How to Make Your Subject to Sale Offer More Competitive
If you are going to go down the subject-to-sale route, the best move is to get your property ready to sell before you start making offers - photos, videos, all your marketing pre-prepared, so you simply have to flick the switch to get it up for sale.

WHAT ARE BUYERS BUYING?

Not all properties are performing equally in today's market. The strongest demand is generally for:

Houses on 450m²+ blocks
• Well-presented homes requiring little or no work
• Properties styled and presented to a high standard
• Homes without significant maintenance issues
• Properties without major location disadvantages such as main roads or flood risk

Buyers have become much more selective and are prepared to compete when they find the right property.

A great example is 11 Ray Street, Carseldine, which attracted 20 groups on its first Saturday and another 8 groups at the first midweek inspection which are very strong numbers in the current market.
