Expert Property Negotiator

We are all witnessing HUGE buyer depth competing for homes. But saying ...."There are no listings to choose from" is factually incorrect when you study the data. Winter listings were up +16.7% on the 5yr average! Melbourne +12.3% Brisbane +8.4% Adelaide +6.3% Perth +0.8%. (tbf that is stuff all and the market is bananas) There were 40,428 sales in August (annually 513,067). This is 9.3% above sales volumes seen last year, and 5.1% above the five-year average. So, the problem isn't a lack of listings. You need .... 😎 Strategy to create more opportunity 😎 The ability to price homes correctly 😎 Move with speed to eliminate buyer competition Helps if you can also negotiate. Strategy is not talking to the 5 x leading agents once and asking to go on their database and for any "off market" listings. Everyone else is doing the same thing. Pricing homes isn't adding +10% to whatever an agent quotes you. Moving with speed isn't waiting for the advertised open home, waiting for the auction day, waiting for the agent to pitch you against all other buyers. Time to up your game, there is a smarter way to buy property (leave the excuses at the front door of your next open for inspection).
