Victoria’s property price rules change TOMORROW 🏡

From 1 October, reserve prices go public at least 7 days before an auction or fixed-date sale, as one dollar figure with no “from”, “over” or “+”. If the reserve isn’t published in time, the auction can’t go ahead.

Buyers 👉 you’ll know the real number before you spend money on inspections and reports. Sold prices will also be public for 18 months.

Sellers 👉 your reserve is now public, so it has to be right from day one. If you change it, the new figure has to be up for another 7 days before the auction can go ahead. Get your pricing strategy sorted before the campaign starts.

The reserve rule applies to auctions from October 1 with a two week grace period for agents.

🏡 Grand Final Weekend Market Wrap

A bit of everything on the ground this weekend.

We inspected a few apartments with very little buyer activity, while renovated townhouses with nothing left to do continued to attract strong numbers.

The big thing we’re noticing? Vendor discounting.

There are some genuinely good buying opportunities popping up daily, but buyers are becoming much more selective about what they’re prepared to secure.

It’s not necessarily about a huge amount of stock buyers simply know they have time on their side and are prepared to wait for the right property and the right price.

Definitely an interesting market to be buying in right now. 👀

Just because everyone wants a property doesn't mean you should.

Competition can create pressure, urgency and emotion and that's when buyers can lose sight of the actual numbers and fundamentals.

Sometimes the better opportunity is sitting quietly while everyone else is fighting over the obvious one.

The goal isn't to win the most competitive property.

The goal is to buy the right property at the right price.

💬 DM “OPPORTUNITY” if you're looking for a smarter way to approach your next purchase.

Some Melbourne suburbs are currently showing much bigger vendor discounts than others.

That doesn’t mean every property is a bargain, but it can create opportunities for buyers who know where to look and how to negotiate.

The asking price is only part of the story.

At Lux Buyers Agents, we look at recent comparable sales, the property itself and the seller’s position to work out where there may be genuine room to negotiate.

Your plans can change.

That’s why we like looking at properties that give buyers flexibility rather than locking them into one outcome.

A property might work perfectly as it is today, but could also offer opportunities to improve, add value or change the strategy later.

The important part is understanding those options before you buy, not after.

Every property is different, so the potential needs to be assessed on its own merits and with the right professional advice.

For many buyers, finding the time to actually search for property is one of the biggest challenges.

Between work, family and everything else, it’s easy for weeks to turn into months of scrolling listings and chasing properties.

A buyers agent can take that workload off your shoulders, from researching opportunities and inspecting properties through to negotiations.

You don’t need to make buying property your second job.

The selling agent isn't your enemy.

But they're not your representative either.

Their responsibility is to the vendor, which means their job is to achieve the best possible outcome for the seller.

That's why having someone on your side can make such a difference.

A buyer's agent can assess the property independently, help you understand value, negotiate on your behalf and keep emotion out of the process.

When you're spending hundreds of thousands or potentially millions, on property, who is actually representing your interests?

💬 DM “REPRESENTATION” if you want someone in your corner.
