Property Report Summer 2023/24 Courtesy of Anna Samios, Nobel Realtors
In October, Brisbane’s property values achieved a new all-time high, rebounding strongly after a brief and substantial decline in median values witnessed in the latter months of 2022. We’ve seen 10 month-on-month increases in median property prices, resulting in values up 10.3% since January 2023 - certainly not what most market pundits were picking at the start of this year. House values have risen 1.4% over October, adding approximately $10,000 to the median price, and unit values are up 1.3% or a little over $7,000. Such strong growth conditions are occurring amid low advertised supply levels, which were tracking almost 41% below the 5-year average at the end of October Consumer sentiment does currently sit at historically low levels, and we all understand that we’re not immune from the impact of global tensions. Although inflation remains persistent, it is starting to come down. This means we may see another rate rise in 2024 however it does look like interest rates are either at peak, or very close. Positive factors such as interstate migration, a robust local economy and Brisbane’s relative affordability continue to give us confidence. It’s never too late to enter the market or take the opportunity to upgrade, particularly if you are looking for a highquality property that will continue to outperform others over an extended period. Nobel Realtor’s mantra of ‘Dedication, Integrity & Results’ is applied to every campaign to ensure that an optimal property solution is achieved. Don’t hesitate to get in touch, if only for an informal chat. We look forward to being of service. Anna Samios Principal and Lead Agent, Nobel Realtors Welcome
Open houses require an immaculate finish. Kitchens and bathrooms need special attention: under the sink, behind the loo, inside the oven and every shelf in every cupboard. Windows – both sides. Paths, eaves, decks must be free of dirt, moss and mould. Professional cleaners can provide a spotless finish in a fraction of the time it will take you to do it. They are well equipped with all the gear to get the job done fast and well, including extendable tools for hardto-reach areas, pressure washers, stain removal solutions and more. Outdoor areas should look as spacious as possible. While you can hack bushes back and cut some tree limbs down, do you realise every type of tree and shrub has a different growing habit? Unless they are pruned with care, dead or naked branches will be exposed and foliage cover will be uneven and unattractive. Professional gardeners ensure your plants are both tidy and healthy – plus, they can remove the green waste. A fresh coat of a neutral coloured paint does wonders for the overall appeal of a house. Easily done, right? Many of us will have attempted this seemingly basic task only to realise there is more to painting than being able to hold a brush. There are tricks and techniques to achieving a quality finish. Painters have all the equipment, skills and best of all, can get it done swiftly, so you’ll know the result will show off your home in the best light. Unless it’s changing a lightbulb, just don’t. All plumbing and electrical work must be completed by a licensed tradesman so don’t attempt any of it yourself. The last thing you want is any sub-par work being discovered during inspection and used to negotiate your price downwards. TV makeovers, with their amazing wow factor transformations, give you inspiration. What the shows don’t reveal are the discounts and paid product placements, so great looks on tiny budgets are not real world scenarios. Home stylists know what target buyers will find appealing and use their industry connections to source inspiring furniture and accessories to achieve the right look. Save yourself a lot of time and effort by hiring their knowledge and flair. Styling Cleaning Electrical & plumbing Gardening Painting If you’re putting your home on the market, getting it into tip-top shape is key to ensure it stands out from the competition. But when it comes to getting the best sale price, a DIY approach that saves you a few pennies may not always be the best option. Buyers can spot laziness and poor finishes from a mile away. An amateur renovation can give the impression that faults have been camouflaged and corners have been cut. Unless you’re able to achieve a professional result, call in the experts. 5 DIY don’ts when preparing to sell

“Anna is warm, engaging and she has an enthusiasm for real estate that is palpable. She presents a well thought through plan of action and is always practical and honest. Anna had the ability to pull from her own database buyers who were ready to purchase, making it a very quick process. It was an emotional time and Anna instinctively knew how to handle our mood, concerns and any issues we had. She listened and did her absolute best to make sure we were happy. Anna knows how to connect to buyers and sellers alike. We have been on ‘both sides of the fence’ with Anna and she is loyal in a long term way. Anna will work hard for her clients, if that’s a quality that is important to you, Anna is the agent you need.” Seller in Graceville “We absolutely loved working with Anna at Nobel Realtors. Anna was clear, transparent and responsive the entire time - both before and after the sale. There was no point where we couldn’t get a hold of Anna or where we were unsure of what was going on, and Anna made an otherwise stressful process as stress-free as possible. I know the property had another agent six months earlier who failed to sell the property, and I think it’s a testament to the job that Anna does that she was able to broker a deal. We were able to schedule multiple visits - often outside of the scheduled open home times - and this really helped us throughout the process. Highly recommend Anna and the entire Nobel Realtors team!” Buyer in Sherwood “Anna is a fantastic real estate agent with strong market knowledge and achieved a building record through the sale of my apartment. Anna and her team are lovely to deal with, and are excellent communicators. As a first-time seller I was nervous about the process, but Nobel Realtors made the entire sale process seamless and stress-free. I would highly recommend Nobel Realtors.” Seller in Corinda A word from our clients
