The market is perfect for buyers and sellers

THE Cairns property market is looking great. Perfectly poised, an interesting mix of buyer market and a sellers paradise.

Professionals Edge Hill Principal Billy Gartner believes the Cairns market is ideally positioned offering great returns to investors as well as value for sellers.

“We are experiencing strong sales currently for sellers with good properties in addition to great rental returns for investors due to the tight rental market.

“For first home buyers wanting to enter the market, now is the time to jump. There’s great properties in the low 300’s that will offer a strong rental return if they wanted to upgrade, plus for the straight investors there’s very promising returns,” said Gartner.

Gartner celebrates over 33 years in the Cairns property market this year. “The Cairns market has matured in recent years. We have some sensational properties here, unbeatable lifestyle as well as great capital growth.

“Cairns offers exceptional affordability when compared to similar centres throughout Australia. Very affordable properties combined with an exceptional lifestyle. Now is the time to jump into the market.”

Billy believes his success in the market is a combination of several factors.

“I listen to the vendor. It’s important to understand the full reason for their sale, their expectations and then plan a tailored strategy to meet their needs.

“We also work with our vendors to help them maximise the potential of their property. Sometimes it is worth taking the time to fix a few points first before listing to help improve the sale-ability of their property.

“Our marketing strategies are tailored to the vendor’s needs and property potential. It’s not a matter of one size fits all, its more about what we need to do to get the best price.”

“When you list with us, we will communicate with you as often as you require to ensure you are kept abreast with the progress on the sale of your property.”

As the market continues to move in an upward direction, the Professionals Edge Hill have a need for greater number of listings. With a good number of buyers in the market combined with a tightening rental market, it will be a good time to enter as a buyer as well as a seller.
