Want to buy well on the Central Gold Coast?
Pay attention to the properties that have been sitting online for 4+ weeks.
In weeks 1–4, lowballing often gets you nowhere. The seller is usually still anchored to their original price expectations, and you may not even get a counteroffer.
But once a property moves into its second or third month on the market, the conversation can change.
That’s when I’m talking to the agent, understanding why it hasn’t sold, what the seller actually needs, and whether there’s a deal that works for both sides.
Maybe it’s price. Maybe it’s settlement. Maybe certainty matters more than squeezing out another $20k.
There can be some great buying in this pocket of time.
Don’t just look at what’s new to market.
Sometimes the opportunity is the property everyone else has stopped looking at.
