Wait until 2027 or buy now?

You can’t time the market with certainty. The best time to buy is when the right property, the right price and the right opportunity align, especially when you have leverage to negotiate.

Don’t just make assumptions ????

One of the easiest traps to fall into when buying property is assuming you already know the answer.

“This is a good street.”
“This property will definitely sell above the guide.”
“We can fix that later.”
“There’ll always be another one.”

Sometimes those assumptions are right. Sometimes they can be very expensive.

I always encourage my clients to stay curious and keep questioning, even when something feels obvious.

What does the sales evidence actually tell us?
What are we overlooking?
What compromises are we accepting?
And does this property still make sense when we take the emotion out of it?

My role as a Buyers Agent isn’t just to find a property. It’s to challenge assumptions, review the evidence and help my clients make decisions with clarity and confidence.

Because in Sydney property, what you assume and what you know can be two very different things.

Ask the questions now. They can save you from costly answers later.

Don’t skip the due diligence 🔍

A fresh coat of paint can hide a multitude of problems.
A property might look beautiful at the open home, but some of the most expensive issues are the ones you can’t see.

Structural problems. Waterproofing failures. Strata defects. Special levies. Major capital works coming up.
These can quickly turn what looked like a great buy into a very expensive mistake.

That’s why I always tell buyers, don’t just inspect the property, investigate it.

Independent building inspections, detailed strata reviews and asking the right questions before you buy can potentially save you tens, or even hundreds, of thousands of dollars.

The pretty finishes are easy to see. It’s what’s underneath that matters.

Thinking of buying? Make sure you know exactly what you’re buying into.

Spring Listings 🌸

We’re starting to see the spring market come to life in The Forest Area.

In Frenchs Forest, there were 17 new house listings over the past 30 days, compared with just 4 in the previous 30 days.

That’s a 325% increase in new stock.

For buyers who’ve spent winter frustrated by limited choice, that’s good news.

But here’s the part I’d be careful about.

When more properties hit the market at once, it’s very easy to confuse more choice with better choice.

This is when I need my clients to become more selective, not less.

Which properties have the best position? Which floorplans will work long term? Where has the vendor priced ambitiously? Which properties have genuine scarcity and which are simply benefiting from the excitement of a new spring campaign?

And importantly, what else is coming that we haven’t seen yet?

Because the property you inspect this Saturday shouldn’t be assessed in isolation. It needs to be compared with what’s just sold, what’s currently available and what we know may be coming next.

More stock gives buyers options. Knowing how to compare those options gives you the advantage.

If you’re looking to buy in Forestville, Frenchs Forest, Killarney Heights, Belrose or Davidson this spring, let’s talk before you start competing. I’ll help you work out where the real value is and which properties are worth making a move on.

One last winter weekend ❄️

Squeezing in one last weekend in the snow with the family before we officially say goodbye to winter.

There’s something pretty special about getting away from the usual routine. Fresh air, cold cheeks, tired legs and lots of laughs.

No schedules, no rushing, just some much-needed quality time together.

A very good way to finish winter.

Now I’m ready for spring… and slightly warmer mornings!

What could be built next door?

One of the biggest property risks isn’t necessarily what’s there today, it’s what could be there tomorrow.

Re-zoning, major infrastructure projects and neighbouring developments can dramatically affect:

• Views
• Privacy
• Traffic
• Density
• Long-term value

Many buyers fall in love with a property and assume the surrounding streetscape will remain unchanged. But in Sydney’s constantly evolving planning landscape, that can be a costly assumption.

Before buying, it’s essential to investigate local planning controls, nearby development applications, proposed infrastructure and future precinct changes.

It’s important to look beyond the property boundaries and well into the future.
