Tips for Buying a Property

Congratulations on deciding to buy a property!

Now comes the big task of finding a home or investment property that matches your needs and budget. There’s a sea of options before you, and somewhere among them is that perfect property waiting to be transferred to you. Between identifying the perfect property and acquiring it, there are multiple actions to be taken. How then do you work your way out of the property purchase puzzle? Easy—by leveraging the expertise and extensive experience of a Q6 Real Estate agent. Not only do we handle all aspects of buying a home, but we also offer valuable tips to help you make smart decisions whenever we can.

Examine the Value

Conducting a sales comparison of similar properties in your area that have been sold recently (in the past three to six months) is critical. You don’t want to buy a property based on just market value. Instead, look further to assess if—given the style, land content, and existing condition of the property—it is priced reasonably.

Our familiarity with local markets and 18+ years of industry experience position us well to distinguish the fair deals from the expensive ones.

If you are a first-time homebuyer, we will help you decide the best type of property aligned with your needs, budget, and future plans. We will also help you understand any Government Grants that may be available from the Australian Government. Your options include:

  1. Buying an established home.
  2. Building a new home.
  3. Purchasing a strata property.

Negotiate with Vendors Motivated to Sell

This is an option you can explore, especially if you’ve identified properties where the sellers are motivated to secure a quick deal. Such motivation often arises from circumstances like debt, family matters, work/business hardship, or relocation.

We can help identify motivated sellers who, in many cases, are willing to negotiate. This represents an excellent opportunity to secure a great property at a good price.

Be Prepared When the Sale Goes to Auction

If the property is being auctioned, it’s essential to understand how auctions work, especially for first-time buyers. We can explain the process and recommend attending a few auctions beforehand to familiarize yourself.

If this isn’t your first auction, we’ll help refine your approach to gain an edge over other buyers. Auctions can be competitive, but preparation with the right strategy makes all the difference.
