Now is the time to make your move
Olivier Miller

Here in Noosa we sometimes follow the lead of cities on a smaller scale. There is currently a wait and see sentiment amongst the buyers. The opportunistic buyers are the ones capitalising on the opportunity, using the market conditions to negotiate, as the best time to buy is when the supply is there but with less demand. So I can reiterate as I have said in past columns that we are seeing a buyer’s market in Noosa overall, with some great properties on our books which are quality buying at realistic prices.
It may be time to make your move and start seriously looking, as the overall confidence is returning and prices will strengthen again. Our buyers are certainly doing their homework and they are very aware of what the market has been doing, where it is going and where to buy and what they are willing to pay for a property. Most buyers have even gone a step further and secured their finances prior to approaching the Real Estate Agent….. “a very positive sign indeed!”
For some Sellers with properties on the market it may be time to assess the price you have listed your property at, or if you are thinking of selling now is the time to get on the market. We are finding well priced properties are finally selling quickly and I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate our Sellers who have responded well to our current market conditions.
Some of the negativity we see in the press continues to astonish me as there is a lot of positive activity about, with the Laguna Team writing a healthy number of contracts in December and with January looking even more positive. Anyone who follows the bigger picture will be aware of the confidence in the growth in Queensland.
Till next week,
Olivier
