The Property Couch

Imagine this…You found your ideal property in the perfect location. You’ve inspected it, you know exactly what the purchase price is going to be AND you’re pre-approved for that budget. You’ve spoken to the selling agent and is crystal clear with the vendor’s motivation. You negotiated some terms and put your best offer forward and BAM!! it got accepted right away. Happy days!Unfortunately, it’s probably NOT going to happen in the current market.When it comes to property prices, getting it exactly right would be perfect for buyers. But in a hot market, it’s very very hard for most buyers to nail it right away. Unless of course you’ve got a lot of spare time in your hand or you’ve engaged a professional to help you out. In today’s episode, we will share the XYZ of property pricing that our own buyer’s agent team are practicing and some of the tips that you can implement right away to get as close to the selling price as possible.But… are you wondering if it’ll work in the current market and with all these new ways of transacting?On top of that, with lockdown restrictions, how are you going to inspect properties and if you can’t, should you buy sight unseen?That’s exactly what we are going to unpack today.PLUS Bryce and Ben will also be addressing the big old Fixed Rate vs Variable Rate question. With the impending lending requirement changes (check it out in Ben’s RBA update), it’s probably best that you get your loan questions answered sooner rather than later!Tune in now for the gold!Q’s we answer further below  Free Stuff MentionedSummer Series is around the corner and we’d like to hear from you!
