Honest. Analytical.

Relentless. Three words that define how Sarb works — and what every client can expect from him. Sarb didn’t come from real estate. He came from mechanical engineering — a world built on precision, problem solving, and getting things right the first time. It was during the renovation of his own home, rolling up his sleeves and working through every decision, every detail, that something shifted. Being around properties, understanding what makes them work, what adds value, what connects a house to the people living in it — that felt like where he was supposed to be. So he made the move. He works the Copper Coast — Kadina, Moonta, Wallaroo, and the surrounding areas — as an advisor who takes the time to understand what each client actually needs. Because buying or selling a home is never just a property decision. It’s a personal one. And the people going through it deserve someone who genuinely cares about getting it right. Sarb believes the market doesn’t decide the result on its own — how a property is handled makes all the difference. Every campaign is built around five fundamentals: product, price, placement, presentation, and process. Every decision is deliberate, and clients always know what’s happening, what to expect, and what to do next. "Clarity creates confidence. Strategy creates results".

Open homes this weekend.

13/08/2026

Over the past two months, I've stood in the doorway of more than 100 open homes across the Copper Coast, and met a lot of buyers who've been in the market for quite a while, going through property after property before they're ready to commit. It's not every buyer, but a good number of them are taking noticeably longer to make up their mind.

This week the RBA held the cash rate steady at 4.35%, with no further increase since the May rise. That's part of the picture, interest rates shape borrowing capacity, buyer confidence and how quickly people are prepared to commit. But it's not the full story. Our local numbers explain the rest.

Locally, our Market Pulse numbers across postcodes 5554, 5556 and 5558 have been showing a clear shift over the past couple of months.

In mid-June, active stock was sitting in the low 50s, weekly absorption was 11.3%, and 21 properties had sold over the previous 30 days. By the end of June, active stock had moved into the high 60s and absorption had eased to 4.83%. In the latest Market Pulse, active stock moved from 76 to 79, weekly absorption eased further to 2.63%, and sold properties over the last 30 days sat at 7.

In simple terms: more properties are available, buyers have more choice, and decisions are taking longer.

A market can shift for a number of reasons. Interest rates are part of the picture, but so are cost-of-living pressure, borrowing capacity, insurance, building costs, fuel costs, policy changes and general confidence.

The useful point from the RBA decision is that there hasn't been another fresh rate increase added to the mix. That doesn't suddenly make conditions different, but it does remove one extra shock for buyers who are already working through higher repayments and tighter borrowing conditions.

The local data doesn't tell us exactly what every buyer is thinking, but it does show they have more choice than they did a few weeks ago, and it lines up with what I described at the start: many buyers, though not all, inspecting more properties and taking longer before they commit.

Properties that are presented well, priced in line with buyer expectations and easy for buyers to understand are still attracting interest. Newer stock, coastal locations and properties that offer clear value are generally standing out more. Older stock, properties with condition issues, or homes that require buyers to stretch too far on price are taking longer to find the right buyer.

So the local picture is this: more stock, softer absorption, longer decision-making, no fresh rate increase, and more selective buyers.

COPPER COAST WEEKLY MARKET PULSE

Week ending 9 August 2026

A snapshot of property market activity across postcodes 5554, 5556 and 5558.

This Week’s Numbers

🏘️ Opening active stock — 76
➕ New listings last week — 5
📉 Closing active stock — 79
✅ Properties absorbed — 2
📊 Weekly absorption rate — 2.63%
🔑 Sold in the last 30 days — 7

What Is the Weekly Absorption Rate?

The absorption rate shows how much active stock was removed from the market during the week, after accounting for new listings. In simple words, it helps show whether buyers are taking properties off the market quickly, or whether stock is starting to build.

What This Means

Active stock increased from 76 to 79 this week. Five new properties came onto the market, while 2 properties were absorbed, giving a weekly absorption rate of 2.63%.

In simple terms, new supply continued to outpace buyer movement. The sold figure over the last 30 days also eased from 11 to 7, which reflects the softer sales pace we have been watching over recent weeks.

My Take

The Copper Coast market has slowed compared with earlier weeks. Absorption has eased to 2.63%, and sales over the last 30 days are sitting at 7.

That does not mean the market has stopped. Buyer activity is still there, but buyers now have more choice. With more properties available, they are comparing harder, moving slower, and being more selective around value, presentation and condition.

We are also seeing more offers subject to the buyer’s own sale completing first, which shows some buyers are still interested, but may need more certainty before they can move forward.

The important distinction is this: properties that offer genuine value, are presented well, and are positioned clearly are still attracting interest and moving. Properties asking buyers to overlook condition issues, or stretch too far on price, are likely to feel the market more.

For sellers, price, presentation and positioning matter more than ever. For buyers, there is more choice available, especially through the higher price brackets, but the better-value properties are still being noticed.

The key things I’ll be watching from here are whether new listings continue to build, whether good-value properties keep converting, whether subject-to-sale offers become more common, and how the RBA’s August interest rate decision affects buyer confidence.

Interest rate movements can influence buyer sentiment and borrowing capacity, so tomorrow’s announcement may shape activity through the rest of August.

Life isn't a marathon. It isn't a sprint either.

I think it is a series of short sprints.

We hear it all the time. Slow down, life's a marathon. Or the opposite: you need to move fast, sprint through it. But both of these feel like they're asking you to pick a gear and stay in it. And I don't think that's how life actually works.

When I was selling my own home, I was stuck in this tension. I wanted it done quickly, to a standard I was proud of. But it wasn't happening on my timeline. I was frustrated. Then I realised, I was trying to hold too many things at once. Work. Family. Preparing the home. All of it, competing for the same energy and attention.

So I changed my approach. I made preparing the home my sprint. Just that. I committed to it fully, gave it what it needed, and then I paused. Once that sprint was done, I moved to the next one.

Here's what I noticed: when you're focused on one sprint, something shifts. Your brain stops splitting itself between five different priorities. Decisions become clearer. You're not burning out because you're not trying to be everywhere at once. And you actually get better results because your effort isn't diluted.

If you're selling or buying right now and this feels overwhelming, too much information, too many decisions, too many things pulling at you, that's completely normal. It is a lot. But here's the thing: you don't have to carry it all at once. Pick your sprint. Commit to it. Then move on to the next one.

That focused effort actually works. At least, it did for me. So I thought it was worth sharing.

Your listing doesn't need more views. It needs the right views to convert into offers.

Most sellers think the real negotiation begins when an offer lands on the table. But by then, so much has already been decided.

Before a buyer books an inspection or asks a single question, they've already formed an opinion. Does the home look appealing? Does it feel better than the three other properties they scrolled past five minutes ago? Can they picture themselves living there? That opinion forms in seconds, and it's already shaping how the rest of the process plays out.

Here's what matters: a listing can get thousands of views, but views without genuine interest don't move the needle. What counts is whether those views convert into enquiries, inspections, second looks, offers. When they don't, the market is telling you something important, and it's telling you long before a single offer is discussed.

I see marketing and negotiation as two parts of the same strategy. Marketing creates the conditions that determine your negotiating power. More genuine interest creates more competition. More competition creates urgency. And that urgency can completely change how a negotiation plays out, long before anyone sits down to talk numbers.

The mistake I see most often isn't under-presenting a property. Just as often, it's the opposite: a listing presented in a way that promises more than the property delivers. Wide-angle photos that flatter a room beyond its actual size. Styling that hides genuine shortcomings. Wording that oversells what's really there. Buyers arrive at the open home expecting one thing and find another. That gap between the online impression and the in-person reality doesn't just cost a viewing. It leaves buyers disappointed, sometimes visibly annoyed, and far less likely to make an offer at all.

Whether a property is under-presented or oversold, the effect on negotiation is the same. The seller ends up in a weaker position before a single offer is ever discussed.

Presentation done well doesn't need to inflate the property. It just needs to represent it accurately, in a way that gives the right buyers confidence to take the next step. Because before a buyer ever negotiates with an offer, they've usually already negotiated with themselves over whether the property is worth pursuing at all. And that decision is shaped long before anyone walks through the door.
