Palerang Region Property Report WINTER 2025 Courtesy of Ray White Bungendore
It’s been a busy quarter in the Ray White Bungendore office; our team has been battling the weather and is embracing the first whispers of spring. Before we let ourselves get too excited about the busiest time of year in property sales, we have a great opportunity to reflect on the winter that was. Bungendore has just been awarded the Top Tourist Town in Australia, and we are so excited to share more of our wonderful Bungendore with the world! This is recognition that the community should be so proud of, recognition received because of you, your neighbours and our local businesses. Rain, hail, and shine, our team has been meeting buyers all through winter. 264 buyers across the last three months, to be exact. Pricing has remained slightly softer than usual this winter, with a positive uptick felt in August in pricing and sales numbers too. The three-month moving average sales price has changed from $1,078,333 in March 2025 to sit at $1,174,166 in July 2025, across the 16 sales that occurred in that timeframe (Pricefinder, August 2025). Buyers are echoing the same sentiment to our team each week; they are ready and waiting to buy when the right property pops up. Sometimes this means attending open homes consistently to see which properties they connect with, but other times, it means pairing the right buyer directly with the right home. We have recently achieved a number of off-market pairings and are working closely with buyers to identify a good fit. If you’re thinking of selling over the next few months and are open to qualified and motivated buyers inspecting your home, please feel free to get in touch with our team to discuss. On a more personal note, our office has been recognised at the National Ray White Rural awards, sitting in the Top 3 offices for Client’s Choice. This is a crucial category, assessed on genuine client testimonials and satisfaction surveys. The wonderful and dynamic Grace Tobler was also recognised this year at the annual awards, sitting as a finalist in the exciting and hotly contested Sales Associate of the Year category. This is a strong and very competitive category, reflecting Grace’s energy, commitment, and growth over the last 12 months, and a testament to her customer-focused attitude and outcomes. We are so proud to see Grace recognised in this way. WHAT’S HAPPENING IN OUR MARKET?

TIPS TO MAKE YOUR BIG MOVE SMOOTH Moving into your new home should be the exciting and easy part, right? Some people rate moving houses as one of the most stressful experiences you can go through, but if you get yourself organised in advance and keep it flexible, moving will be a breeze. Here are our top 12 tips. PRE-MOVE Sell, recycle, donate or dump all your unwanted items in advance. It’s so much easier to pack (and unpack) when you’re not taking junk with you. Book a removalist and get your hands on boxes well in advance. Removal companies get busy and you want to get the date that suits you. Note all the addressed mail you get as soon as you know you’re moving, and start advising change of address as you go. Clear your schedule for a couple of days. If you are moving mid-week, book at least two days off work if possible. Pack and label your boxes by room, and use a ranking number to help you know which should be unpacked first. Resist the temptation to pack similar items together that live in different rooms. Have plenty of ‘tools’ – you can never have enough newsprint, tape, scissors and black marker pens. Take photos of the electronic cable set-ups at the back of your TV & audio systems before pulling things apart, so reconnecting them at the new house is easy. ON THE DAY Finish packing your boxes before the removalists arrive. Have plenty of water and snacks on hand. Staying hydrated and energised is essential on moving day. It’s also a good idea to keep some cash handy for unexpected items like taxis and takeaways. Pack a suitcase of items you’ll need for the first night. You don’t want to be trawling through your boxes looking for PJs and toothbrushes. POST-MOVE Organise the collection of used boxes, either back to the box company, for recycling or sell/give away on Facebook Marketplace. Book a cleaner for the home you’re leaving the day after moving, rather than on the day to give yourself more time to clear everything out. Follow these tips and you’ll be cracking open that bottle of sparkling at the end of the day to congratulate yourself on a job well done.

A WORD FROM OUR CLIENTS “Working with Ellie, Ava, Grace and the Bungendore Ray White Team was nothing but smooth sailing. Every communication was clear. All my questions (even the silly ones) were answered promptly and practical advice given. The sale happened with lightning speed and we are very grateful for the ground work that was laid and provided for a trouble free settlement, helping us navigate such a stressful time. I have already recommended Ellie and the team to friends and family.” Fiona, Vendor in Bungendore “Doug Merriman and his staff were so professional, but also friendly. They sold my house very quickly and I would highly recommend them!” Lorraine, Vendor in Bungendore “Ellie Merriman sold our property in Bungendore in September 2025. Ellie has a vast knowledge of all things real estate and intimate knowledge of the local property market. She expertly guided us through contract negotiations with our buyer. And most importantly achieved the price we wanted. We found Ellie to be open, honest and easy to get along with. Highly recommended.” Adam, Vendor in Bungendore “I recently subdivided my property and sold two large rural portions, and engaged Doug Merriman from Ray White Bungendore to handle the sale. His dedication to the process was only matched by his expertise acquired over many years of experience. Despite some hurdles with the council, the transaction was completed successfully. Doug’s intimate knowledge of both the processes involved and the expectations of both myself and the buyer were instrumental to achieving a successful sale. I would highly recommend him to any potential vendor and purchaser.” Chris, Vendor in Bungendore
