Please have a read of Nicole Haddow's article on REA this week - our director Kate Vines is quoted extensively in relation to first home buyers and underquoting issues.

And please let us know your thoughts, especially if you're either a first home buyer or have been impacted recently by underquoting at auction!

First-home buyers activity is about to take off, but they've got their work cut out for them to stay ahead of the competition.

🤔 Think the real estate market is ‘one size fits all’? Think again.

While auction clearance rates and property sales data provide a ‘bird’s-eye view’ of the market, in reality it’s much more complex and nuanced.

So, when you’re considering buying or selling, make sure you look beyond the headlines to get a true understanding of the market. Consider:

💡 Suburb variations:
Different suburbs have their own property ‘micro-climates’, and therefore often perform differently. Look at the specific results for the locations you’re interested in.

💡 Property types:
Right now, we’re seeing a big demand for smaller period homes close to amenities. However, this will change in the future as the market evolves. Investigate how your chosen type of property is performing at the moment.

💡 Investors vs. owner-occupiers:
The market is different for those looking to invest and those searching for live-in homes. Which one are you?

💡 Market segments:
What’s the buyer profile of your preferred areas? What do they need and what can they afford? This is what ultimately drives the market.

And while you’re reading property reports and doing your homework, make sure you talk to us as well. We’re always tuned in to the property industry and can give you the insights you need to make an informed decision on your next property move.

Want some tips for buying in 2025? Here are ours, hot off the press!

1. Be ready! Be pre-approved!
The market is primed for increased activity and increased prices at some point in the near future, and those who aren’t ready will miss out on any potential upswing in values. Know your comfortable borrowing limit and absolute max limit, just in case.

2. Do your homework.
There’s no substitute for attending opens and auctions, and getting an informed view of what the local market is doing. Ask all the questions.

3. Get your dream team around.
Conveyancer, banker or mortgage broker, building and pest inspector, and your buyer’s agent (of course!).

4. Broaden your search.
Just because. Some pockets are super busy and others aren’t. Renovated homes are popular and unrenovated homes aren’t. Ask not what the home is now, but what it could be in the short or longer term.

And finally - get in touch with us. We’re happy to answer questions and provide insights for people, so reach out today!
