Steady as she goes " In today's market, it is more important than ever before to have a skilled navigator, a steady hand on the tiller, at your side to make sure that you are getting the best result possible." Hello and welcome to the latest market report for property in your local area. As a real estate agent you are expected to know what is happening in the market place. What homes are selling? Where are the buyers looking? How is all the talk about Melbourne and Sydney markets impacting Brisbane? Are overseas buyers and investors snapping up all the good homes? How much will house prices go up this year? The usual assortment of questions. So, it would probably come as no surprise that I spend a fair amount of time answering them, talking about real estate, effectively covering off on these very questions and in some cases concerns.
Fact - Annual capital growth rates in Brisbane typically hover in the 3-4% range which is confirmed by the Ten Year capital growth rate in Brisbane being 3.7% for houses, 3.4% for units or 3.6% combined. The Carindale 5 year and 10 year average is higher but also very resilient to dramatic change. Stable and consistent. If nothing else, Brisbane/Carindale is a market that is less dominated by speculation than some southern markets. Still, there is a lot to be sure of and much to consider and if you would like a longer, more robust discussion about property, your move and our local market call or email anytime.
However, instead of sharing the opinion and conjecture, of subscribing to some of the hype that is out there, I prefer to share the facts, the truth of the situation. Fact - Brisbane’s level of capital growth remains one of the most stable and most consistent across the capital cities within Australia and has been so since 2011.

Presentation tips, when selling your home.
clean it This is definitely the most important tip. Your property needs to be spotless, immaculate, spick and span, sparkling inside and out. Ensure that windows sparkle, carpets are fresh, the oven shines and your bathroom’s glisten.
present it
de-clutter it
Great presentation really is the key to a successful sale. You want to create spaces that are warm and inviting which buyers will fall head over heels in love with and imagine themselves living in. And yes, every little detail counts.
Create more space by removing items that can make things seem a little busy. From coffee tables, to bookshelves, cupboards and bench tops, clutter free spaces can shift the focus to the space and not your “stuff”.
fix it Fix it: make sure that everything in the home is in good working order. Fix items such as dripping taps, peeling paint, blown light bulbs and torn fly screens etc. 83% of buyers will pay more for premium homes that require no work!!
