Spring
Market Update WATTLE YOU DO THIS SPRING?
RECENT SALES
The market is looking very positive after an 18 month downturn and we here at Ranges First National are excited! We think it’s going to be a great spring and a great selling season. The combination of limited houses for sale across the hills (about 20% less than normal) combined with the ‘property positive’ election result and two interest rate drops have really seen the market bounce back. But the question is, is this a bounce or a sustained upward trend? For this we’d have to consult the crystal ball of real estate… The answer is, we’ll soon ind out! But right now, if you’ve been holding off selling due to the previous lower market, now might be the time to capitalize on better prices. All it takes is for a call to one of our knowledgeable sales consultants to see where your property value sits – a no obligation, free service. Not only that, but we can make suggestions to you regarding how to maximise your sale price. In fact, we have made up two books that are yours FREE that help you with this! ‘101 Tips for home presentation’ and the ‘Sellers Guide’, view your copies on our webiste - rangesfn.com.au/info-books

LOCAL EVENTS & MARKETS
We pride ourselves on obtaining the absolute best price through our time tested ‘multiple offer’ negotiation strategy that has been honed over our last 46 years in the real estate business.
