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.

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.

The reality is that not everyone’s parents have spare cash lying around to give to their children to get a step up on the property ladder. Start with a realistic budget, identifying opportunities and utilising first buyer grants. Consider rentvesting or buying with a friend, but seek legal advice for an exit plan. Playing down debt, improving credit, and boosting income with a second job can help to get you there quicker.

The Federal Budget introduced significant changes to the capital gains tax system. From 1 July 2027, the current 50 per cent CGT discount framework is proposed to be replaced for qualifying investments with a new indexed approach. The changes may not just affect property but could also apply across other assets including shares, ETFs, cryptocurrency and employee share arrangements.
