Not every home is sold under hammer – many are negotiated quietly through private treaty behind the scenes. The real estate agent acts as the facilitator, continuing back and forth between the buyers and the seller until a deal is done. The property can remain on the market for as long as it takes to reach the desired price. For buyers, the advantage is they don’t have the pressure of the auction day. However, they need to know how to negotiate including terms and conditions for the best outcome.

RBA holds. Momentum has softened and buyers are becoming more selective.

The RBA has left the cash rate unchanged at 4.35%, but borrowing costs remain high and cost-of-living pressures continue to weigh on household budgets and property markets. The latest data shows national dwelling values were flat in May, with Sydney and Melbourne leading softer conditions while Perth, Brisbane and Adelaide continue to record growth at a slower pace. Across the LJ Ho**er network, we're seeing buyers take longer to make decisions, reassess what they can afford and become more selective. Investor activity has also eased as higher borrowing costs and proposed tax changes weigh on confidence. The market is moderating rather than correcting sharply, with pricing, presentation and location becoming increasingly important for vendors.

There is one thing every tenant wants at the end of their lease - their bond back and in full. A few simple steps, such as leaving the property clean and returning keys on time, can go a long way in making your move less stressful and having it returned quickly. The good news is that many Australian states and territories are now exploring portable bonds. This allows tenants to transfer their bond between properties rather than having to pay a new one upfront while waiting for a refund.

Whether you are selling a cosy apartment or a grand family home, staging can make a big difference when it comes to winning over buyers. It is estimated that it can achieve 5 to 10 per more to the price than an unstaged property and result in a quicker sale. Remember buyers aren’t just looking at the location or assessing the number of bedrooms, they are trying to imagine living there. Staging allows them to picture their life at the property and make an emotional connection. Always speak with your LJ Ho**er agent to find out how to increase market appeal.
