03 Apr ARE PROPERTIES STILL SELLING?

Are properties still selling? – Yes, they are, but the market is changing. These are the considerations that are relevant today.

1) The asking price must be right. This is critical, too high and you lose the first ‘Golden’ two weeks of the maximum of potential buyers.

2) Presentation – The property should be promoted in the best light possible, but avoiding exaggeration and misleading images or text, which could lead to disappointment, in reality.

3) An open mind when offers are received. Take good professional advice and be guided by it. In this turbulent National and Global economic situation, caused largely by US tariffs, no one can predict the future. If you therefore have a reasonable deal possible, the advice is to take it.

4) Agreeing a sale is a necessary stage, but is only 50% of the process. Traversing the complex legal transaction process cannot be underestimated. This is exacerbated by the complications arising from of a chain of sales leading up to your own and possibly on your purchase and beyond.

In short, Buying and Selling is far more complex and nuanced than popular opinion may perceive or suggest. As in all matters of importance, appoint trusted and experienced Advisers and then be guided by them.
