Thinking of selling in 2023?

Ultimately, timing the market is a bit of a fool’s errand. As we’ve learned from the past few years, there’s always the chance of something unexpected throwing things off course.  Who could have ever predicted that we would have a global pandemic, and that very pandemic would send property prices skyrocketing instead of plummeting?

Even if the market feels uncertain, it’s important to remember that it’s all relative and the market doesn’t stop. There will always be people wanting to sell, and buyers out there wanting to purchase a home.   And let’s not forget, if you buy and sell in the SAME market, you really are safe from fluctuations in values.

As you have read with the Logan area outperforming Brisbane as a whole, it’s also crucial to recognise that conditions will vary from suburb to suburb.  It is therefore important to understand your own local market — and to do that, you really need to get granular.

Whether your property is impacted by price gains or falls depends on many factors including location, property type, and whether your home falls into the higher or lower end of the market.

If you’re seriously considering selling your home, you need to do your research. As a first step, get a ballpark estimate of what your home might be worth by speaking to a local real estate expert.

This is one of the best ways to get a thorough understanding of how buyers are behaving in your suburb, what kinds of results are still being achieved, and what the best strategy could be for you to still get that dream sale result.
