THE PROPERTY ESTIMATE SAYS $1.6M.
IT SELLS FOR $1.48M.

Another property is estimated at $920K.
It sells for $995K.

So which number should a buyer trust?

The answer: neither on its own.

An online valuation is an estimate based on data. The market price is determined by what genuine buyers are prepared to pay at that point in time.

This is where the real analysis starts.

LOCATION drives demand.
The right location attracts more buyers.

DEMAND drives competition.
More genuine buyers can push the price higher.

BUYER MOTIVATION drives behaviour.
A highly motivated buyer may stretch further than others.

COMPARABLE SALES establish the evidence.
Recent, relevant sales tell us what buyers have actually paid, not what someone hopes to achieve.

COMPETITION determines the negotiation environment.
Knowing how many serious buyers are competing can completely change your offer strategy.

That is why I don’t determine an offer by simply looking at an online estimate.

I look at:

• Location and micro-location
• Recent comparable sales
• Property fundamentals
• Current buyer demand
• Competition
• Vendor motivation
• Market conditions
• Your maximum walk-away price

The goal isn’t to make the highest offer.

The goal is to make the right offer, based on evidence, strategy and risk.

Because buying property isn’t about guessing the price.

It’s about understanding what is driving the price.

If you’re unsure what you should offer on a property, let’s talk before you make the offer.

Months of Open Homes. Still No Idea What to Buy

For months, a first home buyer had been attending inspections almost every Saturday.

But between work, family commitments and limited time, they were struggling with one big question:

“What should we actually buy?”

Then, by coincidence, we met at a café.

They asked me:

Which suburb?
What should we look for?
What is a fair price?
How much should we offer?

Instead of starting with a property, we started with their goals.

Goal → Budget → Strategy → Location → Property → Due Diligence → Negotiation

We researched the market, compared recent sales, assessed the property, completed due diligence and negotiated based on evidence, not emotion.

The result?

They secured a home they were genuinely happy with, at a price they were comfortable paying.

Because buying your first home isn’t just about finding a house.

It’s about making the right decision at the right price.

Thinking about buying your first home? DM “FIRST HOME” before you make an offer.

IF I WERE BUYING RIGHT NOW, I’D BE LOOKING FOR QUALITY ASSETS

Australian auction results are showing a clear divide.

Melbourne and Sydney remain relatively resilient, while Brisbane and Adelaide are seeing much weaker buyer competition.

Latest preliminary results

* Melbourne: 60% clearance | 637 auctions
* Sydney: 57% | 726 auctions
* Canberra: 47% | 84 auctions
* Adelaide: 28% | 114 auctions
* Brisbane: 22% | 149 auctions

What does this mean for buyers?

1. Buyers have more negotiating power in weaker markets.
Low clearance rates generally mean more properties are failing to sell at auction, creating opportunities for buyers who know their numbers.

2. Sydney and Melbourne are still competitive.
A 57% to 60% clearance rate shows demand hasn’t disappeared, particularly for well-located, quality properties.

3. Price growth does not mean every property is performing.
Brisbane and Adelaide’s weaker auction results show that buyers are becoming more selective as affordability and borrowing capacity come under pressure.

4. Auction clearance rates are a signal, not a valuation.
The real question isn’t simply “What is the market doing?”
It’s “What is this particular property actually worth?”

This isn’t a market where buyers should stop buying.

It’s a market where buyers need to be more selective, more informed and more disciplined.

Don’t compete emotionally at auction.
Know the property. Know the comparable sales. Know your walk-away price.

What are you seeing in your local market?

Are buyers becoming more cautious, or are vendors finally adjusting their expectations?

SAME SUBURB. SAME TYPE OF BUYER. TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT OUTCOMES.

We recently secured two properties for our two first home buyers in the same suburb.

So what made the difference?

It wasn’t luck.

It came down to:

• Knowing the buyer’s goal
• Understanding their real budget
• Researching the suburb and market
• Comparing recent sales
• Identifying the right property
• Knowing the property’s fair value
• Negotiating with a clear strategy

One of the biggest mistakes first home buyers make is focusing on “Can I afford it?”

The better question is:

“Am I buying the right property at the right price?”

That’s where strategy matters.

Buying your first home? DM “FIRST HOME” before you make an offer.

🏠 AUSTRALIA’S PROPERTY MARKET IS COOLING. HERE’S WHAT IT MEANS.

Cotality’s latest data shows national house values fell 0.8% in July and 2.0% over the past three months.

But national values are still 5.7% higher than a year ago.

The market isn’t falling everywhere.

📉 Sydney & Melbourne: -3.4% annually
📈 Perth: +10.2%
📈 Darwin: +13.1%
📈 Adelaide: +6.4%
📈 Brisbane: +6.3%

What does this mean?

This looks more like a correction than a national crash.

For buyers, a softer market can mean more negotiation power, less competition and better opportunities in the right locations.

Don’t wait for the perfect bottom. Find the right property at the right price.

YOUR BORROWING CAPACITY IS NOT YOUR PROPERTY STRATEGY

Just because a bank will lend you a certain amount doesn’t mean you should spend it.

The better question is:

“What should I actually buy with my budget?”

As a Buyer’s Agent, I look beyond borrowing capacity:

1. Value: Is the price supported by comparable sales?

2. Location: Does the area have strong fundamentals?

3. Quality: Are there hidden risks or future costs?

5. Price: Are we overpaying because we can borrow more?

6. Strategy: Will the property still make sense in 5–10 years?

Borrowing capacity tells you what you CAN buy.
Strategy determines what you SHOULD buy.

📩 Planning to buy in 2026? DM “STRATEGY” and let’s talk.
