Your Asking Price Isn't Your Property's Value.
One of the biggest mistakes sellers make is deciding what their property is worth based on what they want, what they paid, or what someone else believes it's worth.
The market doesn't work that way.
A property's likely selling price is influenced by a combination of factors, including:
📍 Location — suburb, street, access, views and surrounding properties.
🏡 Property Characteristics — size, layout, condition, parking, garden, security and overall appeal.
📊 Comparable Sales — what similar properties have actually sold for.
🏠 Current Competition — what buyers can purchase instead right now.
📈 Buyer Demand — how many buyers are actively looking for this type of property.
And there's an important distinction between asking price and market value.
An overpriced property can spend months sitting on the market, gradually losing buyer attention and negotiating strength.
The objective isn't to list at the lowest possible price.
It's to position the property at a price the market can justify.
If you're considering selling in Hillcrest, Kloof, Gillitts, Waterfall, Everton, or the wider Upper Highway, get a realistic understanding of your property's position before putting it on the market.
