These major changes are good news for vendors.

Whether you’re downsizing, divesting, or just want to sell, this is what you need to know before speaking to an agent.

Investment Property Owners (Under $900,000)

Properties in this price range are seeing surging interest from first-home buyers, especially those accessing government shared equity schemes. They want to purchase fast and are desperate to avoid competition.

What’s happening:

Buyers are actively searching but often can’t compete at auction due to scheme limitations and unconditional terms. Private sales and off-market deals are their best path to purchase.

What strategy we're recommending:

Short, sharp campaigns (often under 14 days on market) are delivering strong results and multiple offers. List with a private sale campaign first, targeted at qualified buyers ready to act fast. Create urgency without overexposing the asset.

Downsizers, Inheritors & Land bankers.

After a quiet period, developers are back on the hunt. Eased planning restrictions and population pressure are pulling them off the sidelines. If you're concerned about high holding costs and taxes, for the first time in 3+ years, now is the right time to start thinking about a sale.

What’s happening:

Major planning reforms are making development more viable again. We expect further incentives to support private development as housing shortages grow.

Our strategy:

If your site has development or renovation potential, it’s time to start thinking about auctions again. We’re seeing strong bidding activity return, especially in premium areas where supply has been limited.
