The property industry, media and BBQ discussions are all raving that the market is well and truly in full swing.

For the most part that is true, however not all properties are receiving the “hype” you would expect.

From our auctions this week we’ve two camps of buyer. One group has a cautious almost analytical approach, the other bids with a level of sophistication and confidence rarely seen in markets of the past.

Why? For the most part it’s property specific. The rare, the local iconic and original beachside will attract the full weight of market. The balance of property still requires the seller to encourage and entice the buyer to act. This is achieved through online and print marketing, realistic price expectations and a proactive and committed real estate agent.

If you are in the market to buy, get proactive and commit. As one of my property mentors says: “The deal of a decade comes around once a fortnight”
