30 Churchill Road has now sold.

And it’s one of those sales that says a lot about the market we’re in.

From the outside, 100 days on market can sound like a long campaign.

But this one is a good reminder that a great result doesn’t always happen quickly.

Based on what we can see, 30 Churchill Road achieved the highest sale price ever recorded in the street.

It also looks to be the highest sale price in Judea in the last two years.

A result we’re really proud of.

The part I keep coming back to is what happened before the property went live.

Documents were ready.
Staging was sorted.
Photos were given proper time.
Buyer questions were thought through early.
The campaign had a clear plan from the start.

Once we launched, we had multiple offers and multiple agents bringing buyers through.

There were also plenty of conversations around where the value sat, which is pretty normal in this kind of market.

Some homes are sitting.
Some are being withdrawn.
Some are still achieving fantastic prices.

30 Churchill Road was one of those sales that reminded me why the quiet work before launch still counts.

It took 100 days to sell.

But a lot of the result was shaped before day one.

25 Short Street has now sold.

Deadline sale.
Over 70 groups through.
5 offers at the deadline.
Unconditional in 24 days.

A really pleasing result, and a good snapshot of the market we’re working in right now.

Because this market isn’t one thing.

We’re seeing some homes sit for a long time and still sell.

We’re seeing others withdrawn, relaunched, and moved to a different agent.

And then we’re seeing sales like this, where the campaign finds momentum early and the deadline does its job.

The easy thing to say is “the market decided.”

I don’t think that’s the full story.

In this market, a lot of the result is shaped before the first open home.

The presentation.
The pricing conversation.
The documents.
The photos.
The buyer questions.
The way the campaign is set up before anyone walks through the door.

Once a property is live, you can absolutely work hard.

You can follow up.
You can negotiate.
You can push for every last bit of interest.

But the best campaigns usually have their foundations in place before that point.

25 Short Street is a good example.

By the time the deadline arrived, we had over 70 groups through and 5 offers on the table.

The work at the end mattered.

The work before launch gave it something to stand on.

98 Waikite Road took around 250 days to sell.

Not exactly the dream headline agents rush to put on a billboard.

But here’s the bit that matters.

It became the highest sale in the street in the last two years.

It was also the second highest sale in Welcome Bay in the last 12 months.

A lot of people have been asking us, “How’s the market?”

The answer is pretty simple. The market isn’t dead.

It’s just testing whether you want a quick sale or the right sale.

This is not a market where every home sells in five minutes because someone got emotional at an open home and forgot how numbers work.

It’s a market of price and patience.

If you price properly, present well, and hold your nerve, there are still fantastic prices out there.

But panic gets punished. And it gets punished quickly.

250 days sounds slow, until the result makes everyone else look impatient.

So if you’re thinking of selling right now, don’t only ask:

“How fast can we sell?”

Ask:

“What price are we actually prepared to wait for?”

Speed is lovely. The right result is better.

If you’re thinking of selling, start there. The plan gets much sharper once you know the answer.
