Listen "Urgency and flexibility"
Episode Synopsis
This week Sam and Chayse discuss what to expect ahead of the first weekend after Easter with more sellers, and more buyers, all ready to make decisions now. They also touch on the continued rise of house prices both in Brisbane and nationally and why you may want to ask yourself a few questions before making the decision as to if now is the right time to buy for you.
Key takeaways
Accept the current market conditions. Values continue to rise due to increased buyer competition.
Interest rates have not slowed growth.
If you have the need and means to buy without being uncomfortably stretched both emotionally and financially, make a quick, confident offer when you find the right thing
Different strategic approaches to buying: urgency vs. flexibility, and how those can be leveraged to a buyer's advantage.
The nuances of "off-market" listings and the importance of understanding what genuinely constitutes an off-market property.
The impact of early interactions with agents and proactive steps buyers can take to stand out ahead of everyone else with real estate agents.
Practical advice on dealing with the highs and lows of house hunting
