The lift has a down button. The property market on the Sunshine Coast doesn’t. 😉
I heard over coffee that some agents are telling buyers they’re smart to wait.
After 39 years in Sunshine Coast real estate, my question is: wait for what?
Another RBA announcement? A less dramatic headline? Your dream home at a price from 5 years ago?
Headlines don’t build homes. And a rate announcement doesn’t suddenly make the Sunshine Coast less desirable.
Yes, conditions change.
Buyers can have more choice, more negotiating room and more time. But that’s an opportunity to explore - not a guarantee that a bigger price drop is coming.
I’m not suggesting you rush. I’m suggesting you recognise the difference between being considered and being permanently on hold.
After 39 years in real estate, I’ve seen the pauses, the pullbacks and the headlines predicting the worst.
But the longer-term lesson?
Prices have moved up, even with some bumps along the way.
So while you’re waiting for yesterday’s price, don’t lose sight of a home that could be right for your future.
No one rings a bell when the market changes.
Don’t miss today’s opportunity with hopes of yesterday’s prices.
