Convenience of a central location combined with a quieter laid back lifestyle Like much of the region cane farming was the backbone of successful agriculture in the North Shore area. Regulation of sugar prices in 1915 saw hard working property owners prove their commercial success for almost 100 years. International price pressures and the closure of the Nambour sugar mill in 2003 ultimately brought this generational business to an end. The last few decades of this transition also saw Nambour hand its title of commercial and employment hub of the Sunshine Coast to Maroochydore. This shift saw rural lands and undiscovered village centres like Pacific Paradise and Mudjimba get renewed attention both locally

and from afar, as people looked to make the sea change with a prospect of a job to go with it. Back in the 1930’s a minimum of 50 acres (20 hectares) was required for a family to be self sufficient within their own property.

Years ago people were attracted to the North Shore as it offered affordability. These days the driving force is the convenience of a central location combined with a quieter laid back lifestyle that only a smaller centre can provide.

These days the average size of around 600sqm provides most families with a place to call home within easy reach of everything they need, all on the doorstep of one of the best surf beaches in Queensland.

Bordered on all sides by dune and conservation reserve means the feeling of local inclusion will remain. This defining factor is what will make the North Shore totally unique in the years to come.

Maroochydore’s continued evolution as the nerve centre of the coast has translated to growing demand.

#NEWS

Spring selling season is here As spring arrives in all its Queensland glory, real estate agents start polishing For-Sale signs and checking phone battery life, preparing for the busiest time of the year. Or is it? Let’s delve into the data and see.

At the REIQ we have a theory that this is the perfect example of perception creating reality. We didn’t have a busy spring selling season in Queensland, before 2012, but national media talked up the opportunity to get in front of the busy spring buying period and over time that has become a reality.

The mild weather is often cited as a reason behind spring being the busiest sales season. Stands to reason, right? Not blazing hot, like summer. Not cold or wet, like winter. It’s mild and pleasant. Jacarandas are in full bloom and the landscape is gorgeous. But if we look at the data, in actual fact, spring as a busy sales season is only a very recent trend – since 2012. It’s definitely not a historic trend. And, it’s only a busy selling season for houses. If you’re buying or selling a unit, you’re likely to be out and about in autumn, from March to May.

But does it matter?

Looking at the data going back to 2007 for all transactions (houses and units combined) we can see that spring was the busiest season for six of those years (2017, 2016, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011) and for the remaining five years it was autumn (2007, 2009, 2010), summer (2008), and winter (2015). But if we separate houses and units, we get a slightly different picture. Looking at the smaller market of units, there doesn’t really seem to be much of a pattern in the Queensland data. Last year the busiest season was autumn, and before that it was spring, then winter and spring again. We do see a run of spring from 2011 to 2014 (inclusive) but that doesn’t seem to hold more recently. Causal factors here could be that over the past five to 10 years there has been an enormous level of apartment construction, mostly in Brisbane, but also throughout regional Queensland. Much of this stock is sold off-theplan and so there are a lot of investors buying. This market operates with different needs and buyer requirements.

What Season achieved the largest number of sales in What Season achieved the largest Queensland? number of sales in Queensland?

Houses: For houses, spring has consistently been the busiest selling season for the past six years (2012 – 2017 inclusive). In 2011 winter was the busy period and then it was autumn (2010, 2009, 2007) summer (2008).

How important is it to be part of the spring selling season? Well, like everything to do with buying and selling property, it all comes down to your personal views. Some people argue that, as a seller, you need to put your house on the market when the maximum number of buyers are out. BUT, that is also the time when all the other houses are on the market so you’re competing with a lot of other houses to catch the most lucrative buyers. And it works if you look at it from the buyers’ angle too. Sure, it sounds great being out looking at all those amazing houses and being spoilt for choice. BUT, you’re competing with lots of other buyers. If you waited until winter, you’d have a lot fewer wallets to fight off as you claim your dream new home. So, as we all gear up for the end of the footy season, the start of cricket season and the

Queensland data

Units:

downhill run to Christmas, it’s important to understand that, in Queensland, more than 55,000 houses (<2400 sqm) are sold a year, all year round. That’s 55,000 buyers finding a house and 55,000 sellers finding that perfect buyer. If they can do it, you can too.

Risks of selling your home yourself When you are thinking about selling your home, the idea of paying fees to an agent could seem like a good way to save some money. Many who consider selling their home themselves reason that nobody is more motivated to sell the property than they are! They also suggest that they know the property better than the agent and are the best equipped to answer potential buyers’ questions. So what do you need an agent for? I’m so glad you asked!

It’s time consuming: When you sell your property, you are in charge of everything. That means everything. And even if you’re the kind of person who is really organised, this doesn’t mean you’re the kind of person with plenty of time on your hands to do all the jobs that need doing. The list of tasks is extensive. For example, here are just a few of the things that need to be done when you’re listing a property for sale: • Do you know how to creating a marketing campaign? • Have you booked the photographer, videographer (don’t make the mistake of doing the photographs yourself!)? • Organised the floorplans? • Do you know how to book the ads in the newspaper? Do you know the best package to buy? • Preparing the home for sale – do you know where the best place is to focus your attention for any small renovations or repairs to the home? What are the popular features that are selling homes faster in your suburb? • Are you going to stage your home? If so, do you know who to use? Agents will have many local service providers they can recommend. • Will you be home to let the photographer in, even if it’s a work day? • Do you have time to manage the open-home inspections? What about potential buyers who can’t make the scheduled open home? • Have you got time to follow up all open-home attendees with phone calls and/or emails? If you work full-time, or if you are a full-time parent, it’s going to be difficult for you to find the time to stay on top of the lengthy list of tasks that come with selling your property yourself.

September 28, 2018

coast & hinterland PROPERTY

Marketing:

There are legal risks:

How do you market your property? The major listings portals don’t accept ads from sale-byowner clients, so you’re limited to the For-SaleBy-Owner websites, which are less well-known. And creating a listing that showcases your property to its best vantage point is a skill. What other marketing channels will you consider? Which are best suited to your property and your target buyer? And how do you intend to get the best value for money with each ad that you buy? Marketing is complicated and often an agent will have a support staff that will help with the marketing decisions. This is a commonly misunderstood part of the property sale process, with many sellers eventually seeking advice and support from an experienced sales agent to find out where their marketing campaign went wrong and why there are no qualified leads.

Do you know how to manage the contract part of the process? What happens if your buyer wants to make changes to the contract? Are you familiar with the legislation and do you know enough to navigate the legal issues yourself?

Pricing your home is complicated: How much should you list your home for? Price it too low and you’ll miss out on potentially tens of thousands of dollars. Price it too high and it will sit on the market and become stale, with no serious offers being made. It’s hard to get buyers to take a fresh look at a home that has sat on the market for a while, even after a price reduction. Potential buyers may wonder what is wrong with the home, and why it’s still sitting on the market weeks or months later.

You don’t know what you don’t know: Finally, there are myriad decisions that an agent will make as part of the process of selling your home. An agent has usually made these same decisions thousands of times before and have a lot of experience in selling properties. They’ll understand the market better than most because that’s where they operate every day. It’s easy to make a mistake when you’re navigating a completely foreign situation. Some people who choose to sell their property themselves will have some experience in selling a property before. Even then, there are risks, because the legislation is likely to have changed, the real estate landscape is different and there are so many more options today than there were even five years ago. Think carefully before you choose to sell your property yourself. If you choose to forego the expertise of an agent, at least make sure you have a legal expert or a legal practitioner on hand who can help with the legal issues.

Negotiating is challenging: Do you back yourself against potentially very skilled negotiators? You never know who your buyer is going to be but if you use an agent, you know that you’ve got someone at the table representing your interests who has likely negotiated many contracts before and potentially negotiated many buyers higher than the point they started at.
