Here’s what actually happens between “yes” and getting the keys.

Exchange of contracts is the moment it becomes legally binding, with a deposit paid (usually 10%, sometimes negotiated to 5%).

Then NSW buyers get a 5 business day cooling off period, withdraw in that window and you’ll forfeit 0.25% of the price (note, no cooling off at auction).

From there it’s a standard 6 weeks (42 days) countdown to settlement, while finance gets finalised and final checks happen.

Ever wondered why a market appraisal and a bank valuation can land on two completely different numbers?

They’re not measuring the same thing.

A market appraisal reflects what buyers are actually paying right now, based on recent comparable sales and real demand.

A bank valuation is deliberately more conservative, it’s there to manage the lender’s risk, not to price your home.

That gap is normal.

But it matters, because if a bank valuation comes in under the purchase price, buyers can be left covering the difference with a bigger deposit. Worth knowing before you’re deep into a sale.

Want an accurate read on what your home is worth right now? A market appraisal costs nothing and gives you the real picture.
